Hair: New shade on the horizon

Hi All!!

So i'm dying my hair very soon and i am hoping to get this lovely Rich Auburn colour that Beyonce is rockin'........



It won't be for a few weeks yet, I have just two days ago chemically straightened my hair so I need to wait at least two weeks before I dye it. This is advised with the relaxer that I use - Dark and Lovely- so i'm going to do as it says and wait.

I am soooo excited though because I haven't dyed my hair this light for years. Not since high school have I had brown hair! I've already picked my hair dye which I will be purchasing at some point this week; it is also called Rich Auburn 374....



Soon as i've dyed it I will then need to match my shade to some hair extensions, this will more then likely be the hardest part!!

So look out for this post in the next few weeks!

I want to get into Photography ♥

Hi ALL!!

So I really want to get into photography, as you may know I model as a hobby but i'd really like to learn film photography. This has recently become more of a obsession when I read this article in Company magazine.






'Ladies who Lens' is about three women who photograph using film camera's and they have inspired me more and more to go for it. I love Company magazine, so I am so glad they had this article to help me out.

I have recently been experimenting with the settings on my Samsung camera and also editing some of my photo's. Here's a few images....









As you may be able to tell I am really into the whole Retro, 60's and Vintage style of photography.

I have been eyeing up these camera's and unsure what to get at the moment but I love the style of each camera......





Fisheye No2 Pink Edition


Diana Mini White


Diana F+ Chrome




Do any of you girlies use a film camera or have any tips for buying/using one?

Outfit of the Day

Hi All!

Here is what I wore today for a quick trip to town......


Cardigan: Vintage
Jumper: Topshop
Leggings: River Island
Shoes: River Island


I don't often go with updo's, but today I just felt for something different.....



I think this whole look is quite different for me, for daytime looks i'm usually quite casual. Today's look has just a bit extra going on and I think it's safe to say it's because of the leopard print leggings.

Hope you liked!

Currently Loving Lipsticks

Hi All!!!

If you are a regular reader of my blog then you should be aware that I love wearing lipsticks. I just wanted to show you the five lippies I currently have in rotation on a weekly basis for day and night time looks.



Left to Right
No7: Tangerine Touch
M.A.C: Impassioned
Victoria Jackson: Un-named
Victoria Jackson: Un-named
Collection 2000: Ruby Red

Unfortunately the Victoria Jackson cosmetics do not have official names for each product. It would be fab if they did so that in future I can name them for you off the top of my head; nevermind.

I took another photo of the No7 and M.A.C lipsticks so that you can see just how bright they are as the above photo does them no justice.



Love them!

Here are the swatches of the lippies against my skin; first time i've done swatches for my blog....

I think changing my make-up look on a daily basis helps with each outfit I wear also. I'm not sure about you guys but if i'm wearing red lipstick for instance I sometimes feel like a bit of a movie star; especially if I match my make-up look with winged liquid eyeliner etc.

Lipstick really does bring that extra oomph to a make-up look and I always like to channel a different look or era occasionally and this helps. It's also great for those days when I just do simple natual make-up and then adding bright pink lips will add that little bit extra rather then just looking 'simple'.

What are your thoughts?
