How I transform my hair

For as long as I can remember I have always wanted longer and thicker hair. But with hair extensions being fairly expensive and the fact that I don't think I could handle the tapes or bonds I decided to go for clip in extensions. I came across a brand called Hair Choice Extensions, you can find their Instagram page here. I got the shade Monte Carlo in 20 inches. You can find them here.

This is the transformation that they make on my hair and I absolutely love them. They are really easy to clip in once you get the hang of it, you just have to make sure that you tie your hair half up and then make sure you really back comb the hair so that the clips have something to clip into.

For some reason my hair would not stop being crimped at the top no matter how much I straightened it, so excuse it being a little crimped.

You can find their website here where they sell a range of different hair extensions from clip ins like this, to pony tail clip ins and weft extensions.

I hope you enjoyed this post.

Spring is coming!

I can't believe the weather, it is only the end of February and we are already having temperatures of 20 degrees! We barely used to get that in summer. But I am definitely not complaining, when the sun is out I am always in such a better mood and I just get so excited about all the clothes I am going to purchase for when it starts to get warmer. Goodbye big jackets, hello cute shorts.

Spring is not too far away, so I thought that I would share some super chic and affordable outfits with you guys.

Asos:

I am all about cute, detailed playsuits. I think they are so perfect for Spring and Summer because you can dress them up or down. You could pair this gorgeous broderie frill playsuit with a pair of vans and a leather jacket or for holiday it would look great with some nude wedged sandals.

I am in love with this maxi dress in safari print! It is absolutely gorgeous. It is so free flowing and comfy and would look perfect for a dinner date with the girls or on a beach. You could also wear it with a white or black short sleeved t-shirt underneath for when the weather is still a bit chilly with a leather or denim jacket.

I think a pair of blue denim shorts are essential in any Spring wardrobe. You can literally pair them with anything and they are so affordable! These shorts can be worn with a basic tee as shown in the picture or with a bandeau top and boots, whatever your style, these shorts are perfect.

Accessories are one of my favourite things, I think that they can sometimes really bring an outfit together, whether its a necklace, head piece or earrings. I found this leopard print knot headband on ASOS and it is gorgeous. This would go perfectly with the shorts above and a black t-shirt or bandeau and some doc martins or vans.

Zara:

This tie-dye denim jacket is everything. I absolutely love it! It is perfect for Spring to wear with denim jeans to double denim it or with a pair of white linen shorts.

Pretty Little Thing:

I love this pale blue tie top. It is so chic and fashionable and looks amazing paired with the white jeans. This is definitely on my wish-list It would go so well with a pair of wedged sandals on those warmer nights.

These stone belted paperbag trousers are perfect for Spring and Summer! They are so flattering on the waist because they really tuck you in and are super comfy. These trousers are my go to! They are also available in black and green.

I love snake print and the colour of this bag. It is so cute and small and would look perfect with a white shirt dress or blue jeans and a white shirt.

Outfit details:

White playsuit

Maxi safari print dress

Blue denim shorts

Leopard print knot headband

I hope you enjoyed this post! Let me know what you think of the outfits and accessories and what your favourite things about Spring are.

Beauty Bazaar Harvey Nichols

After going home last week and spending a girly day out with my mum and sister we decided to treat ourselves and get back and shoulder massages. Because who doesn’t love being pampered? And honestly they were incredible! We had them done at the Blink Brow Bar at the Beauty Bazaar, Harvey Nichols where they also do other treatments too, such as eyebrows, eyelashes and facials. The women who work there are so kind and friendy and are amazing at what they do. I always travel back to Liverpool for my eyebrows... that is how good they are! I really could not recommend them enough, I don’t trust anyone else.

So if you are ever in Liverpool or come across the Blink Brow Bar in London where they have many locations, make sure to go and visit.

You can find the Blink Brow Bar website here , which shows you where all the stores are.

Thank you for reading this post! I hope you enjoyed. Let me know where some of your favourite places to get pampered are.

Nasty Gal Pt. 2

So I know my last post was on Nasty Gal, but I just had to share some items from the Nasty Gal X Emma Louise Connolly collaboration because they are to die for. I love Emma's style, she is literally fashion inspo! If you don't follow her on Instagram then you definitely should, the link to her profile is here. I have really started to love Nasty Gal again because there clothes are so different from all of the other brands and they are so affordable and always have amazing deals. Right now, they currently have 30% off site wide with the code NEEDIT30 and free next day delivery!!

I found it really hard to narrow it down to five favourites because I love all of the clothes, so make sure you check them all out. But these are my top five.

Light At the End of the Funnel Jacket.

I am in love this jacket! It looks super comfy and snug for this freezing weather and the colour is so girly and chic. This jacket can be paired with so many things like jeans, roll neck jumper and doc martins or with a dress or skirt as shown in the pictures below. It is perfect for this season and definitely needs to be in my wardrobe asap!

Easy There Oversized Corduroy Shirt.

As you can tell, I do love a blush pink colour and this shirt is super cute. I love corduroy, it is super comfy and flattering and this shirt is perfect to be paired with jeans and boots. You can even dress it up and wear the shirt unbuttoned a little with a cut bralet underneath with black jeans, heels and a glittery clutch bag. I will definitely be purchasing this when it is back in my size.

One Piece is All It Takes Belted Buttoned Jumpsuit.

This jumpsuit is everything!! It is so chic and sexy and looks perfect paired with the boots in the picture below. You could also make it more casual and wear it with trainers and a puffer jacket.

Get It While It's Spot Animal Button-Down Shirt.

This shirt is definitely one of my favourites. I would wear this to a nice dinner with black leather trousers and boots or heels, paired with a black chained clutch bag. This shirt is really sophisticated but so fun!

Twist You Were Here Mini Dress.

I love the style of this dress, the knot in the middle and its cut out bit at the bottom. I am a sucker for a mini dress and this is one I would definitely purchase. This would be gorgeous for a dinner with the girls or date night. You could even wear it out shopping by pairing it with a cute pair of trainers and a long jacket.
