do it ya friggin’ self!

26th November 2011
    Shirt – H&M Pleather Trousers – Melody Direct Bag – Peacocks (was red, fabric painted black) Shoes- Topshop Rings – Brighton market stall   So I had a sudden brain wave last night when I was finally finishing off painting this clutch bag from red to black, I had wanted a black envelope clutch for aaages but was too stubborn to pay £20+ quid for one when I found this one in red from peacocks for £9 so off I strolled to House Of Fraser haberdashery to buy more fabric paint and voila!! black (with a red tinge) envelope clutch, I wouldnt recommend this as it took for ever and was extremely tedious! I have had this shirt for god knows how long and haven’t ever really wore it, but with all these statement collars and collar tip jewels around I thought this was a perfect “daytime-friendly” way of wearing this trend. I literally just got a ruler and biro, drew the outline and then filled in with black fabric paint, there are sooo many different colours of fabric paint including Gold and Silver that I don’t think this will be my last DIY statement collar. I hope you like it!

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.
