I bought this blouse as part of my working wardrobe at Next. I love this print and it looks great with the black jeans I wear to work!

Topshop

This crop top was my favourite shade of pink and only £8! It's rather 'baggy' though so I'd probably recommend a smaller size than usual, and rather see-through as the material is so thin, so I'll wear a white crop underneath.

These black shiny shoes are amazing, they're so comfy and will look perfect with some ripped jeans and a white t-shirt. I love them!

I'm a big fan of Topshop nail varnish, as it only takes one coat for the colour to look perfect. This matte lilac one is lovely and has stayed on perfect, despite school and work!

New Look

I found this adorable PJ set in New Look, for only £14.99. It feels quite silky and it's not too warm to wear. Where I live, the weather has been around 22 degrees despite it being September, so the nights aren't too cold yet.

How amazing is this iridescent phone case?! I got my new iPhone 5S last week and have been looking everywhere for a case as gorgeous as this. It's quite chunky so if you drop your phone, this might ease the fall. It's super colourful and so pretty to look at.

ASOS

I apologise in advance for the lack of full length photos! I took these in a rush and my bedside mirror is the only source of reflection!

This is a lilac body con dress with a turtle neck. I love it and might even wear as a turtle neck top if I want to dress it down with a skirt or jeans.

This black dress is knee-length and has a cute cut-out hole in the back.

This is a peplum type of dress, just above knee-length and with a high neck.

Boobs are stupid, I hate boobs. But this is a Bardot crop top, super pretty and would looked cute when I wore it out with a white fold over skirt from Forever 21:

This t-shirt has an amazing astrology print on it! I love it.

New Hair

If you read my blog regularly, you probably know that I'm a fan of pastel colours and have previously dyed my hair lilac and pink, however the colour faded so easily and I decided to give it another go! I loved my blonde hair, but the reason I had bleached it originally was to go lilac. Here's another attempt!

I used the Bleach London bleach on my hair and it worked really well. My hair went from this: 

To this:

I then used the Bleach London 'Violet Skies' semi-permanent colour, and it turned the top of my hair a lovely lilac shade, but the ends were only toned! I've used the Bleach London colours before and for me they've only lasted one wash, which is a massive shame as they do some amazing colours. I didn't actually get a photo at this point as I knew I was going to re-do it with something else.

I ended up finding this Schwarzkopf bright pink / purple colour, and since I didn't want a colour this bright, I mixed it with white conditioner before applying it to my hair.

I needed a white conditioner to mix the dye with, so I used this one by John Freida. If the conditioner you mix the dye with isn't white, you won't have a good indication of the colour the dye will turn out. I gradually mixed tiny amounts of the dye into the conditioner with a spoon until I achieved the colour I wanted.

I love my hair now! Hopefully this dye will stay longer than ones I've used previously, but if it doesn't I still have 90% of the dye tube left since it takes so little to achieve a light colour.
