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 :)

Headbands & Lipsticks

Heyy, so today I didn't have to get up bright and early for uni so decided to take my time getting ready !
I even took the time to put some false eyelashes on !!




With my hair I thought i'd attempt to re-create a hippy look, but I am too much of a wimp to actually go outside with my hair like this, not entirely sure why, I just am.
So to do this I simply straightened the front bits of my hair and some bits around my head (cause my hairs kinda wavy naturally), then I took three sections from the top and teased it backwards before smoothing it out with a comb.
After doing that I clipped my two front sections of hair off my face using bobbypins, and finished by putting on the feather headband which is from Primark, I think it looks so cute, and I defo will be actually wearing my hair like this during summer, need to get more confidence ! hahaa

Anyway as well as my hurr, I also went into town and bought two gorgeous rimmel lipsticks,
one is a gorgeous everyday pink which is nude enough if you don't want people to know your wearing make-up but just pink enough to set your whole make up look off, and that is Pink Corest 008! Stunning.



And the second one I got I was unsure about whether it would suit me, but after looking at plenty of other colours I went for it, and it's True Vintage 123! I got home and put it straight on and I've got to say it's a stand-out colour that doesn't stand-out which makes no sense at all, but I am absolutely smitten with it!! (Wing earrings from New Look).



So that has been my day so far, got to do uni work now which is not fun at all, but hey i've had a lovelyyyyy day.
P.s. my eyelashes are primarks finest £1, love love love them. And my pale orange top is from Urban outfitters with a black Tesco vest underneath!

PEACE xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
