Faux Hair







Hi again

Double post in one day! lol. I'm quite excited about this new purchase. I bought some hair from Ali Express that is meant to be Afro Kinky Curly. I had bought some previously that was absolutely rubbish so I needed to invest in a new one & I'm no longer interested in buying from companies I just go straight to the vendor, therefore no high expectations and the liability is all yours 
(Rant over lol)

Anyway this hair is great. At first I worried it wouldn't be afro at all, top pic is pre washing when i first got it seeing as it was wavy at the top and when it was wet it was still pretty wavy. However, after letting it air dry and making a u-part wig with it.  I have fantastic results and I'm so happy with it!

The third picture is having done a twistout with it which was yesterday and today the next day (the last two pictures) the twistout still looks as fab as ever.


I just thought to share my happiness with you lol
Once again thanks for stopping by and I appreciate all your comments

LBD & BraidOut






Hi :)

I bought this lovely shift dress from BooHoo and I'm in love! I call it my LBD long black dress because I'm not a fan of short dresses. They don't suit my legs very well.

I did a braid out on my hair, pretty much the first time on larger sized braids and I love the results!

Hope you enjoyed the post & you've had a fab week so far.
Thanks again for dropping by, your comments are much appreciated

Peplum Loving





Hi :)

Thanks very much for visiting my page again, it's great to have readers and commenters now that my blog is starting up. I appreciate every one of you!
I took these photo's at probably midnight when I got home lol, I liked the outfit but had no time in the morning and remembered I hadn't posted in a while now. I have been loving peplum recently as you can probably tell =)

This was also my first attempt at using eco styler gel to get a slick bun, after watching BlakIzBeautyful's YouTube channel. It came out okay, but i'll be trying it again at a later point to improve. (Ignore the scarf line, I tied it down to flatten it a bit more just before I went out lol)

Peplum Blazer: Miss Selfridge
Midi Dress: Primark
Shoes: Dorothy Perkins

Hope to see you again soon

Blue & Yellow






I have finally bought my first pair of Topshop jeans & they are great! Definitely worth the price even if you do wince a bit lol.
I'm off out to lunch with a friend and  I opted for something quite casual. I will be deciding on the cardi & coat in a bit because it's still quite cold out! I need to start putting the whole outfit together for the blog posts

Anyway thank you again for stopping by, please do again & leave a comment. I'd love to check out your blogs too. 
What new items have you bought lately from your wish list?

Casual Social








Hi there :)
Thank's for coming back to visit my blog! As you may be able to see i'm MUCH happier with the layout. I fiddled around for literally a whole day getting it to look this way googling HTML codes and all of that! So i'm finally happy with the way it looks and more inclined to post.
I'm just heading off out to a social and this is the outfit I will be wearing. ( I haven't decided on the jacket & coat yet, definitely not going out in just this lol )

Whole outfit: Primark!

What have been your casual outfits?

Thanks for reading

Return

It really has been too long! I lost motivation to blog a while back, and with 2013 i'm making a lot of changes in my life. I have a much more positive outlook and I'm trying to better myself steadily. Ensuring I make time for hobbies and enjoying myself, inspired by lot's of blogger's and Youtubers (that may also be a possibility)

Without further ado, I thought I would show an outfit that I have worn recently. I was trying to improve my blogger template but there have been a lot of issues that other's have encountered too, so apologies for the shabby layout! Hopefully it will fix itself over time & improve.

Please ignore the shabby editing also for now :P

I also want to say thank you and hello to the lovely ladies that have commented on my blog, years old it may be! You are part of the inspiration to return
