I've been feeling kind of bored with my hair recently so I decided to go "crazy" and put some lilac in my hair. I use Bleach London's Silver Shampoo and their White Toner so decided to stick with their brand. Violet Skies is a non-permanent hair colourant that works on white/light blonde hair and lasts for 2-10 washes. To me I'd consider the ends of my hair to be light blonde, which is where I wanted to apply the product.

Now, before I continue my first piece of advice before using this product....DO NOT FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS ON THE BOTTLE. 

On the bottle it says to apply to towel dried shampooed hair and leave for 15 minutes. This left NO colour on my hair whatsoever. So, my brain got thinking. I then dried my hair and applied the product straight on DRY HAIR. I left it on for around 40 minutes. This product contains no bleach so it's safe to leave it on longer than 15 minutes. The results this time were the complete opposite. It only took to the proper bleached light blonde highlights in my hair, but it worked! If you're wanting a bright purple I do not recommend Violet Skies but this was the perfect shade of lilac I wanted. I'd suggest this for people wanting that grey/lilac hair that's super popular right now. Great for if you fancy a change of colour but nothing permanent. 

I'm currently on DAY 2 and the colour has stayed, I have washed my hair once but it didn't fade too much. I'm having my hair coloured again next week and will be going lighter, I'll deffo try this again when I have even lighter hair.

DAY 2

I'm usually just a trainer girl myself but recently I've been finding myself pinning so many boots on my Pinterest. I'm especially loving the grey and black snake skin pair oooooo myyyyyyy.

All photos from Pinterest, find them on my shoe board here 

Shirt - New Look 

Shoes - Vans

Trousers - Topshop

Neckerchief - Depop

Jacket - Vintage

These high waisted trousers from Topshop are my current obsession. They just fit SO nicely. And I love the D-rings, this means that I actually have a pair of trousers that fit my waist! Hurrahhhh. I also bit the bullet and bought some new Vans (not that I don't have enough anyway). I really want to do more outfit posts but I have nowhere to take good photos and I don't feel like my style is interesting enough, but here I am stood in the rain in my pathetic excuse for a back garden.

Struggling to find the perfect winter coat? Well if you're anything like me then yes. I'm in desperate need of a coat but I just can't find the right one! Luckily FarFetch have come out with their latest infographic based around the 6 definitive coats of the season. And, it is a lifesaver! I wish I could pull of the ANKLE GRAZER, but being 5ft 4 I don't think it would be much of an ankle grazer! 

Take a look below for some inspiration!

 "Brush up on your manners this season, as AW15 heralds the return of the frightfully proper English heritage coat. Savile Row mainstays such as Prince of Wales check, nubby tweed and houndstooth look modern again, especially when worn with off-kilter accessories and your favourite granny handbag."

 "Wild thing fur has been high on the fashion agenda for a few season now, so don't dismiss it as just  a bit of fluff - it's here to stay. Marni's alpaca rainbow is the only thing you'll want to snuggle into when the chill sets in, and it ill warm the cockles of your heart as much as it does your frozen limbs."

 "Cut a formidable silhouette as the nights begin to draw in, with Maison Margiela's floor-sweeping showstopper. The long coat requires three things: height, grace and attitude. It's a perfect nod to the season's Victorian trend - just add stomping lace-up boots and a little Jack-the-Ripper menace."

 The quickest way to make your existing wardrobe stand to attention this AW15? Top it off with a commanding military cape. Sacai's smart double line of brass buttons is key to ensuring you stay on the frontline of style."

 "Nothing makes you look expensive like winter whites - and not just because of the dry-cleaning bills. Shades like oyster, cream and purest snow white lift winter complexions and add freshness to your look. The hot AW15 update? Block it with separates with luxurious tones of oxblood and cyclamen pink."

I've been such a huge Fearne Cotton fan ever since I hit my teens. I feel like her style is something I've followed for as long as I can remember. I just love it. The tomboy style with a hint of print and a bit of grunge just sums up what I love.

On the 14th September I went to Amsterdam for the week. We got the coach to Amsterdam, and I would NOT recommend it. It took 15 hours and it was just awful, but it was so worth it when we got there. It is such a surreal place. It doesn't have that busy city vibe like London or Paris but it certainly isn't lacking in character. We spent pretty much everyday walking around and exploring.

On the first full day I knew what I wanted to do, which was go to Monki. Anyone who knows me knows that this is my shop, I LOVE MONKI. And it didn't disappoint, I could have bought everything in there ahhhhhhh. I was actually very good and only let myself buy one thing. I'll be doing an outfit post soon! Also this is probably THE best place for vintage shops. When I go back I would set one day just for hunting through the vintage shops as there is so many, you could spend hours in there!

My first year of University was not as fabulous as what everybody bigs it up to be (in my opinion)

So here is what first year taught me, hopefully it will help some of you starting in September!

1. Your flat will be disgusting. Nobody cleans up after themselves and if like me you hate mess, you'll find yourself becoming a maid. DO NOT CLEAN OTHER PEOPLES STUFF, ever! Do it once, and you'll be stuck doing it the rest of the year. You might be lucky, but I lived with tramps. See photo below lol.

p.s, A can find you anywhere, even at University (PLL reference there lol)

I'm loving this look right now. A trouser suit is something that is so current right now, and I wish I could pull off! Cigarette pants with a crisp shirt is just my go to outfit at the moment, mixing the masculine with a feminine touch by adding the perfect pair of strappy heels.

Victoria Beckham is in no doubt the queen of this trend.

Now this just explains my style completely. I LOVE TRAINERS. I just think pairing them with a chic outfit adds touch a unique style to it! It's all we are seeing right now in Paris Street Style, the amount of women killing the Adidas Stan Smith's is insane, so stylish yet so simple!

White trainers will an all camel outfit, drooooooling.

Such a simple outfit trick that can instantly add a little something different to your look. As seen below being effortlessly pulled off by the gorgeous Alexa Chung. Its a perfect summer look.

After recently finally getting my hands on an Urban Decay Naked 3 palette, I can totally relate to this. Adding just a slight touch of colour or sparkle to your eyes just makes them pop. It's just enough to take you from day to night. I always use a little cream eyeshadow in the inner corner and blend into a more neutral brown tone for a simple everyday look.

Surfer babe waves have always been a hair envy of mine! Long gone are the days of sleek bobs!

This is something I'm really tempted to try with my hair!
