I missed being blonde...

Ever since I dyed my hair in November last year I missed being blonde. I never realised how much it made me love my hair although it made me hate my roots just as much. I thought this would be the best mix of being a blonde/ caramel colour at the ends but keep natural roots. It's no where near as blonde as last time and I think I actually prefer this. It's going to be perfect for summer and finally I no longer look like I'm about to die or constantly ill; I need to accept that sadly dark hair makes me too pale. Right now I'm just trying to find a way to style it and return to my great love that is purple shampoo, wish me luck. 

Style is a simple way of saying complicated things

I enjoy fashion but I don't obsess over it although I do spend too much money on it. I haven't really seemed to develop a style I am happy with just yet. I was browsing the River Island website and saw their 'Chic in the City' trend and for the first time I saw a collection of items that included everything I would want in a wardrobe. I think Pinterest is a great way to find inspiration and I realised that this Chic trend is wonderful but my style needs a whole lot more black and a few bolder patterns. I think I need to invest in some basics or even classic pieces; I really just want to start making my wardrobe have endless possibilities. I don't know how well this will go because I always go through 'they're just clothes' phases, wish me luck. 

Hello Purple

In my previous post I said goodbye to my blonde hair so I thought it was only fair to make one welcoming purple into my life. I love this colour but wow it is different! Walking into to the hair dressers blonde and leaving with dark brown and purple ombre is a change that will take a while for me to get used to. Once I had stopped making myself jump from catching my reflection I looked at my hair and although the majority is purple I couldn't be more pleased. I feel like I am wearing some kind of purple wig. I'm also having to get used to shorter hair again as well as the fact this colour makes me look seriously pale. I think that is the only thing I don't like about this hair colour although I am enjoying finding what make up looks work well with it. Wish me luck. 

Goodbye Blonde...

I started Sixth Form with long hair that was just a shade or two darker than my natural colour. If you had told me then two, nearly three, years from now you will have blonde hair I would never of believed you. I always thought I would have dark hair but in those two years of education my hair went on a journey like no other. Adding fringes and removing serious amounts of hair meant I looked different every month. I really enjoyed  my time being blonde and experimenting with different styles (apart from when I had an orange afro, that wasn't my finest moment) although I think it's time I return to the dark side. Being blonde is a lot more fun than my natural brown colour although with winter quickly approaching I feel there is no better time to make this change; my roots are also seriously out of control but I thank Beyonce for making them fashionable for a while. On Saturday I will have dark brown and purple ombre hair, I just hope I don't miss being blonde too much. Wish me luck.
