close your eyes and cut…

16th December 2011
  Necklace – Topshop Dress – DIY H&M Leather Jacket – Topshop boutique Fur Stole – Asos Shoes – Office via eBay I think you should all know that I am now freeeeee from university for the christmas holidays…well kinda, I should really be doing dissertation but I may use my time in Verbier for that (obviously when I’m not skiing or snowboarding). So seeing as I handed in all my assignments on Wednesday I felt it rude not to go out and celebrate but I had an absolute nightmare trying to find a dress, Inlovewithfashion.com sent me the most beautiful dress the other day but I seriously couldn’t bring myself to wear it to a student night, it’s far too gorgeous for that so I took a little inspiration from it instead. I came so close to spending £48 on a dress in Topshop that I didn’t really want, Until the brainwave came to me, I’d seen this dress in H&M for £14.99 which I can totally justify spending, but the length was AWFUL on me. After checking the hem of the layers I realised I could rectify this so off I went. I decided I was going to give the dress a “mini” drop back hem, which meant it could be as short as I like (I love a batty rider) in the front and then I’d be ok with the length in the back because it would make the dress a little bit quirky. I didn’t really have time to measure and stuff so I just sorta grabbed the nearest white eye liner and drew a even line up to the point I felt the hem should sit, said a little prayer and cut. I had visions of it going hideously wrong but I was pretty happy […]

I had visions of it going hideously wrong but I was pretty happy with the results….just not with the overall warmth factor of the dress ha-ha when did I become such an old woman??

Hair @imy_hair for @greatlengthsuk
I’m in my golden era. Ad having nurtured my hair back to health with professional haircare, supplements and hair oiling I knew I didn’t have enough time to grow my hair back for Summer so the wonderful team at @greatlengthsuk enlisted @imy_hair to transform me into my Summer style for the next few months. For those that don’t know Great Lengths has always been my extension brand of choice, about 15 years ago I had them for 2.5years to help me grow my hair back after I experimented a little too much with my style. My hair grew back healthy and strong and I didn’t have to wish the time away as the extensions gave me the extra few inches I needed without damaging my hair. I will have these removed at the end of the summer to continue to grow my hair back with regular Diamond cuts.
