Miss Universe Baseball Tee*: The Pretty Junk
Denim Dungaree Shorts*: Daisy Street
Flatform Plimsoles: New Look

I can’t believe how cold it was when we took these photos, I looked outside in the morning, saw the sun shining & thought that this would be a perfectly weather appropriate outfit but damn, was I wroooong >.< oh hai gale force, icy cold wind! (hence why my hair is a little awol & my face looks kind of depressed lol)

Anyway, horrendous cold aside, I actually love this outfit. Wearing dungarees again makes me feel like such a toddler but ahhhh well, it’s got to be done. I was kindly gifted this pair by Daisy Street for my birthday & I have basically worn them to death since. They aren’t online as of yet but they will be soon so keep your eyes peeled!

How AWESOME is this baseball tee?!?! Bomb diggy amazing if you ask me! The dudes over at The Pretty Junk sent it my was a couple of weeks ago (thank you so much guys!) & I can safely say that I have never loved a tee more in my life, it’s neon pink, which is not usually very ‘me’ but I adore it so much & I can’t recommend it & The Pretty Junk enough guys, seriously, go & check them out, their shop is the bomb! I have my beady eyes on their ‘like a virgin’ crop top, too cute! Roll on pay day! Also, if you are digging this top, you might want to check out their unicorn (yes guys, UNICORN) version too here>link

Clynol sealed ends repair fluid*…

HAIRTRADE CLYNOLCLYNOL SEALED ENDS HAIRTRADE
REVIEW
WHAT HAIR TRADE SAY: ‘Clynol Repair Caress Sealed Ends Serum helps seal and prevent split ends for weak, damaged or chemically treated hair whilst protecting against hair breakage. Leaves the hair smooth and glossy.’

WHAT I THINK: My hair is not exactly in the best condition. I haven’t had it cut in three years (pixie crop disaster) & I have dyed, bleached & heat damaged my hair non stop, so it’s no wonder the ends are so frazzled. This product has been a life saver.

I have tried various ‘repair’ products before & none have been as good as the Clynol sealed ends fluid. It really has seemed to have ‘repaired’ the ends of my hair to some extent. I know nothing can truly repair split ends (except for old fashioned scissors) but this product really has made the ends of my hair a lot smoother & look a lot healthier.

As long as I don’t use to much, it doesn’t weigh my hair down & it has never felt like I had ‘product’ in my hair which is plus because nobody likes crusty/gooey hair! Compared to all the oil based & other cream treatments I have tried in the past, the Clynol repair fluid really has been the best. I would totally recommend it if your hair is in need of a bit of ‘help’ (or if you are like me & just plain scared of the hairdressers) It really had made a big difference to my hair & I will definitely be looking into other Clynol ‘repair’ products!

WHAT DO YOU THINK? Have you ever tried ant Clynol products before? What did you think?

Mango head…

LOREAL MANGO INTENSE COPPER FERIA 5LOREAL MANGO INTENSE COPPER FERIALOREAL MANGO INTENSE COPPER FERIA 1LOREAL MANGO INTENSE COPPER FERIA 2LOREAL MANGO INTENSE COPPER FERIA 3LA RICHE DIRECTIONS APRICOTLOREAL MANGO INTENSE COPPER FERIA 4
I constantly get asked questions about my hair. I did upload a video, a little while ago, explaining exactly how I dye it but I thought I might as well do a blog post too as it’s always useful to look at pictures as well as watching a video.

Firstly, you can see that my hair is two different colours. I like the ombre ‘effect’ & I think it looks just as nice on red as it can on brown/blonde hair. I just think that it adds a bit more dimension. I use L'Oreal feria ‘mango’ to colour the majority of my mop. It is a permanent dye & literally the ‘red’ I have been searching for for years! I have dyed my hair red on numerous occasions using numerous different box dyes & none have been right for me. This may sound silly but, they have all been ‘too red’ where as ‘mango’ has more copper tones in it than any other box reds I have  seen in the shops, making it a little more ‘natural’ looking which is why I like it so much.

Now for the ‘ombre’. As I said before, I only colour the top of my hair with the permanent dye, the ends of my hair are coloured with La Rich’e directions hair pot ‘apricot’ which is a semi permanent dye so it needs topping up every so often to keep it looking vibrant but I really like the colour so topping it up every few weeks isn’t a problem for me.

So there you have it, I tried to keep it short & sweet, I didn’t want to bore you with too much hair talk, but if you have anymore hair related questions, just ask me & I will answer as best I can! :)

Candy hair…

CANDY HAIR 7LIGHT PINK HAIR EXTENSIONSLIGHT PINK HAIR EXTENSIONS 1CANDY HAIR 2CANDY HAIR 11
REVIEW
WHAT HAIR TRADE SAY: ‘’Hair highlights is a wonderful and affordable way to change your look. Many celebrities are able to give themselves a sun-kissed look within a quick salon visit. Normally, those highlights generally need to be touched up every 2 to 3 months and have to keep the same style during this 2-3 months. By choosing the clip in highlight products, You can change your look frequently and instantly.’’

WHAT I THINK: I have never been the biggest hair extension wearer in the world but I think colour extension highlights are a great idea. You can get this seasons coveted pastel hair without the commitment or hair damage. If you have been reading my blog for a while, you might remember when I sprayed my hair pink. I did love it but because of my damaged hair, some of the colour stuck even after I washed the spray out & it dried my ends out too. With the highlights there is no damage so they are a great solution to the whole hair drying out problem & obviously, you can simply put them in & take them out as you please so there’s no need to worry if the colour is going to wash out properly or not.

The extensions themselves are really comfortable, I can can hardly feel them when I have them in, & they stay secure to my hair until I decide when I want to take them out. The hair it's self  is pretty soft, & easy as my own hair to heat style.

All in all, I think that extension highlights are a great product. They come in an array of colours so if you are looking for something a little more natural or even a little brighter, there is sure to be a colour to suit.

WHAT DO YOU THINK? Will you be going pastel this season? Have you ever tried extension highlights?
