SHES BACK!!!!!!!

Wow, I can’t believe I haven’t posted in here since 2015! Where have I been? Well I mentioned briefly in here somewhere that my hours got cut, working for Tommy Hilfiger, well if you don’t follow my youtube channel, you won’t know that I got a whole new job at the end of 2016, a promotion and have been super busy with my new career path, but I miss doing this and want to get back into as if it was a second job! So I’m back, 2015 was tough again if you don’t watch my channel here’s a list of things that happened:
• Nana died
• Hours cut
• Car crash
• New job
All these things took a while to recover from, and just under a year of being in my new job I was promoted to a higher position!!!
So 2016 has been difficult for my work life, but has all paid off!
Now that that’s all settled, and were all caught up! I’ve decided I need to get back into my blogging again, so keep your eyes peeled for the posts coming!!
In the meantime, see the new little links above the "about me" section?...Yeah?...Well Go follow me!! :~)

The Process OF Dyeing Hair Ombre Purple

So I decided I wanted to do something with my hair, something a bit different, whenever I dye my hair I dye it PURPLEISH...its become a statement for me ;)

So I used a Lo'real Feria ombre Hair dye to lighten my natural ends

After rinsing the Ombre hair dye I then I mixed, Directions Vegan Hair dye in Violet, with a white conditioner, to make a shade of purple I was happy with:

Sectioned my hair off, using Pigtails/Bunches And applied the directions dye to my damp hair,

I left it on for about an hour as it slowly took to my hair, then rinsed it all out and styled,

I liked the colour, it just wasn't what I was aiming for, I wanted a Ombre effect in purplish colour, So I washed my hair four times to take out the Directions semi-permanent dye,

And proceeded to lighten my hair some more! ... It went green!!!

So the next day I tried again, this time I used a different dye...

LIVE COLOUR XXL - ULTRA BRIGHTS - SHADE: 94 PURPLE PUNK

Again sectioned the hair into two parts and caked on the dye!

After 20minets I rinsed the hair and styled it,

It turned out PERFECT! exactly how I wanted it too! So now I just go over it every 4-5 washes just to brighten up the colour!

Really happy with the outcome, worth all the work and effort, I am a little disappointed with the Directions Dye, but I think I just go the wrong shade, I think I need a pink colour to mix with it to make the violet more vibrant!

What To Wear To A Wedding Party?! - HELP

So I'm going to a wedding next month, and I have no idea what to wear, I ordered 3 dresses from Boohoo.com

Here's a picture of me in all three dresses, I love these dresses, all of them but Let me know your opinion, I just dont know what the right kind of dress is for a wedding, these feel to party-ish rather than something for a elegant wedding, so I feel like I might go for something completely different to these.

Opinions and suggestion are needed!

VINTAGE COLLECTION PEICES

Just a little post to show you my little Vintage collection, I have some cool clothing and some awesome furniture to show you!

Lets start with my Clothing:

This is my MOST favourite piece of clothing!

This is my 1950's dress I absolutely LOVE this bright orange dress, the buttons are so unique and VERY art deco, I paid £20 for this from a Vintage shop in Nottingham! LOVE LOVE LOVE!!

This next dress is My 1960's number, this dress is beautiful! I love the peter pan collar and the bright red swinging sixties pattern!
I baught this in a job lot of vintage clothing that I was planning n selling, but sometimes you just fall in love and have to keep some stock ;)

This jumpsuit, is the perfect jumpsuit that I have been looking for, for such a long time! It reminds me of an old 70's movie! I bought this from Ebay, off a vintage seller, this was £10.00

OK NOW FURNITURE!

My Dream wardrobe! I have been looking for the perfect wardrobe to fit my room for so long now, I'm amazed at how this on turned out! I found this on Gumtree, it was listed for £10.00 It was an hours drive from were I live, so Me and my dad Went to collect it from a polish lady who was moving back home, and because we had travelled so far to get it, she let me have it for free, which was just SO NICE!
I LOVE THIS PIECE!

This next piece is a 1960's chest of draws, I bought this again off Ebay, it was £30.00 which seem like a lot of money to me now! but I loved it so much I wasn't to bothered about buying it for that much, It was the first piece I got for my room so all my furniture is pretty much based around this one piece.

This one was a spare of the moment purchase, it was very local to were I live, it was listed on Ebay for £5.00 BARGAIN! I didn't really need it but it was so convenient I couldn't miss out! again this one was bought from a lady who as moving house and was getting rid of some furniture, It does need some work but its not in a bad condition at all!

And that ladies and gentlemen, is my Vintage Collection, I cant wait to get my own place and collect more! I just love old furniture! my favourite Eras are the 50's, 60's and 70's especially for furniture, I have a thing for the Space age and LOVE the Sputnik style legs on everything! It also makes it easier to clean the floors ;)

HAHA!

Vintage Colthing - Sold peices

Don't know if you are aware, But when my hours got cut at work, I decided it was now or never to get into something that could potentially be a future for me! and that ended up being to buy into Vintage clothing, so in my spare time, I'm up-doing tired pieces and re-selling them. I haven't quite nailed colour correcting yet but as I love clothings I just wanted to share some of the amazing garments I've had the please to have held, tried on, fell in love with and sent packing! :D

ENJOY!

We also went to Alton Towers a few days before my birthday, we had a really good day out, there was the accident on one of the rides, but we weren't part of it, nor did we see it, the park did close half of the rides so we missed out on a couple but we did have a really good time, it was better than last year! hardly any Que's! and we got these amazing pictures Thanks to a work friend who gave us 3 free photo passes! (we did want to get our last picture on the Smiler ride but that's the one they closed due to the crash)

Vintage Diner Dress 1950's - Photoshoot

Hi all, I did and exiting photo shoot, up a mountain!

So this was really fun, This was the dress I wanted to wear for my Nana's funeral, but unfortunately it came to late, so I decided it was to nice to be put in a closet and never worn again, so I climbed a mountain, got changed in front of about 15 people and posed like I was something I'm not! haha!

Here are some of my favourite images from the shoot!

Leopard Print Leggings

About a year ago I got myself some Lovely Leopard Print leggings off BooHoo.com, the model looked amazing in them, not sure I looked that goo as I have a rather large behind, but at first I found them really hard to dress, so i never really wore them too often, but recently I had a play around with them because I still love them!

I ended up putting 3 looks together for different occasions, this is them:

Casual:

Simple Black pumps, with a basic black T-shirt or jumper (also add a pop of colour, with a red scarf or accessories)

Smart:

White shirt and brogues (add a blazer for a super smart interview look)

Party:

Add some colour with a basic silky vest and matching heels!

It was actually quite easy, I always found print to be a bit daunting but thinking about it, as long as everything else is minimal, it works!

OOTD- Funeral

This is the outfit I wore to my Nana's funeral, we really close and in the last few years and her alzheimer's getting progressively worse I grew even closer to her, it's been a tough two weeks after sitting next to her as she took her last breath, but I will always remember how care free and fabulous she once was, and my outfit to her funeral was inspired by her younger self, always happy and forever fabulous! ❤️
