Swedish Girl Hair



Sorry for not posting as of recent but I have been ultra busy finishing all my essays for my second year of uni and now they are all done yay !!
Can't believe I am nearly a third year student, it's so scary.
And with only 2 exams to go at the end of this month I have plenty of time to catch up on blogging, yay for you !!

So I was inspired by Nicole Richie, my favourite fashionista and her GORGEOUS hair,

Now unfortunately I am not blessed with thick long hair, so I had to adjust this style so it would actually suit me.
I tried to make the back pretty but it simply didn't work, boo hoo !

So anyway, what I did to achieve my look was split my hair first of all into two sections, dividing it symmetrically down the back of my head from my parting.

Next I took a thin comb and split my hair from the top of my ear upwards at a slight angle to get the hair that would come before the wrap around plaits, and I did this on both sides of my head. Then I tied this up so it would not get in the way.

The final two sections left at the bottom I put into plaits which made me look very much like Lolita haha, and tied these with little rubber bands which are £1 for a pack of about 100 from Primark.

After doing this I let my two front sections down and brought the plaits up to make a sort of headband and secured with bobby pins, when securing I tried to hide the rubber bands (unfortunately mine were white and very noticeable) underneath the opposite plait.
And ta-daaaaa !



P.S. Starting up my jewellery line again VERY VERY soon, just waiting for all my crafts to come so I can begin hand-making some beauties again, so keep your eyes peeled :)

Album of the Week: The Saturdays - On Your Radar


I am aware this album has been out for quite some time, but with the weather attempting a pick-me-up and the fact that I haven't properly listened to it yet I thought it needed a chance.

This was however entirely my itunes fault as I have 'automatically add songs to fill space' set up on my ipod and this is what it filled some space with.

I have been a fan of The Saturdays ever since they came onto the scene and their other albums are one of my personal go-to's when I want a sing song (sometimes an angry one) or even to belt some notes out, but when this album came out I must admit originally I was a little disappointed.

As it was on my ipod I decided to give it a proper listen and was actually rather impressed. Although many of the tunes seem as though they have been 'danced up' so that they can be transferred easily into clubs and bars there are also some gorgeous ballads.

I reckon if you are a fan of a good boogie, and a fabulous girl band, as well as a good sing-a-long this is definitely one for the summer months! Whenever I get a car (hopefully soon) I will be sure to be blasting some of these songs out !!

Favourite song - Get Ready, Get Set
Least favourite song - I Say OK
Rating - 3.5/5
