over-dressed?

22th October 2011
Is blogging twice in one day a sign of dedication or of a need for a life? I’ve been toying with this for a number of hours now….yes hours. Anywhooo, another thing that’s been playing on my mind recently is the notion of being over dressed. I see a lot of students on both lookbook and blogger appearing to rock heels every day. This is a habit I have (I just feel dumpy if I haven’t got 2 or 3 inches under foot) I’ll shop in heels, pretend to listen in lectures in heels and pick my sister up from school in heels, without a second thought. Then a few weeks ago I met someone who said when in conversation “Oh yeah your the girl that always wears heels to Uni!” and I was a bit like….errr I’m known for this? It’s something strange? should I not? I mean I know The University of Northampton isn’t the most fashionable Uni out there…especially when you take into account the amount of god awful Paul’s boutique bags there are being dragged from lecture theater to lecture theater. But still I don’t get this notion that we should drag ourselves to University similarly to the way we drag our selves from bed. Yes Uggs are comfortable to walk in but do you really feel comfortable as a person, like your representing who you are? Am I being completely materialistic in this thought? I seriously need some feedback on this one, tell me your thoughts!!!!!!! p.s. following the purchase of my Topshop boutique boots I simply had to have some Pleather trousers to rock them with….   and Yes I will be donning the get up to uni 🙂

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.
