So this is me with natural curly hair. It's actually relaxed ridiculously since I was younger, I used to have tight curls, but now it's more like waves which I quite like. It's definitely easier in the mornings not having to straighten my hair, but I have to wash my hair much more frequently when it's like this. I'm just too lazy! 

So what do you think?

I'm doing a photo shoot for Forever 21 today which I'm really excited about. Doing it alongside Lily and a couple of other bloggers, so it should be really fun! It's all prep for this little 'project' we're doing with them in Feb - I'll reveal all soon! 

I've started to link my Instagram with my tumblr, so if you don't have Instagram but want to follow my pics, then you can visit my tumblr page. 

Have a great weekend everyone!

Label M Brunette Dry Shampoo

Label M have recently launched their new dry shampoo specifically for brunettes. I haven't tried the coloured dry shampoos by Batiste and would usually steer away from 'coloured' sprays, but I thought I'd give this one a go as I love Label M products. 

It comes in a really sleek can, just like a regular hairspray. You get 200ml and it retails for £10.50, so it's definitely one of the more expensive dry shampoos. When I tried it my initial thoughts were that it smelt like a strong hairspray (so no extra fruity scents added) and sprays really nicely. Some dry shampoos have really strong direct sprays so you end up with white patches, but this ones makes it really easy to distribute the product evenly thoughout your hair. 

It definitely doesn't make your hair white, which is a bonus and I couldn't really notice the brown much. I had to spray it on my hand to check it definitely was coloured, hence the photo above. It says it has been made so that it is suitable for all brunettes, whether it's chesnut or mahogany. What makes this product better than others is the extra ingredient of Rice Starch, which apparently is best used in short bursts throughout the hair, focusing mainly on the roots. 

So overall, I'd say if you're happy with your cheap dry shampoos and the white patches or smell doesn't bother you then stick to it. But if you're looking for something a bit more affective and definitely better for your hair, then try the Label M one! 

What do you think about coloured dry shampoos?

Two-Tone

chipped nails! 

Top: H&M

Belt: Urban Outfitters

Skirt: Topshop

Tights: Topshop

Necklace: Temporary Secretary

Loving these two-tone tights I bought recently, although they are very thin so I'm sure they won't last long. I can never find skirts that suit me, so I was pleasantly surprised when I tried this one on. I kind of reminds me of a gym skirt, but I like it! 

Not much to report at the moment. Got quite a busy weekend ahead of me... photoshoot for a big fashion brand (will spill all soon), two friends' birthdays, the ZOMG bloggers bash and the MC awards breakfast. Been feeling a bit rough recently so hopefully I'm gonna be feeling fit and ready for the weekend! 


What do you think of this outfit? How do you feel about two-tone tights??

Temporary Secretary + Giveaway Winner

There's nothing I love more than a small independent business that can completely blow you away. Temporary Secretary is a gorgeous online jewellery shop run by the lovely Sarah.  

She recently sent me a package full of goodies and I literally couldn't wait to take photos and show you all what was inside. 

It came beautifully wrapped in tissue and ribbon, making it hard to open without feeling guilty. Inside was some rings, a bracelet, an owl necklace and a moustache necklace. I love everything, but I especially love the moustache necklace. WARNING: You will be seeing this is MANY upcoming outfit photos! 

So next time you fancy going to Topshop and spending your hard earned money on mass manufactured pieces, think again and support a young business owned by a creative entrepreneur! She has some gorgeous jewellery and treats every customer like they're the most important one. I'm very excited by Temporary Secretary as you can probably tell! 

What do you think of my gifts? Don't you love the moustache??
