Red hair.

 I at some point this week decided that I wanted red hair. So I impulsively bought a L'loreal Feria dye and some John Freida red shampoo and conditioner and now have red hair!! I am still getting use to it and am not 100% sure I like it but we will see.

 I just feel like none of my make up goes - in particular lipstick. What colour of bright lipstick would you wear? Help! Also I think a need to fake tan a little. I was planning on stripping it out but it will fade quickly, red always does... 

Happy Thursday!

Sunday Diary #17

Repping Paloma Faith before I get started on some uni work...

1. The end of uni is so very close. One more hand in & I am done! The excitement of what is to come is almost too much to take, I love change and new opportunities. Lets see what happens from now...

2. Growing out a pixie cut is a long, painful process - and I'm not far along the process. Everytime I tell people I tell people what I am planning they say "Noooo, don't do it!" I just want a nice little messy bob. All I am asking for!

3. I am still so into working out. I love doing at least a little bit of toning 6 days a week if I can't manage a whole workout. I have realised that I don't have to be overly obsessive about it however. It is okay to let loose a little & just do some extra work in my next workout!

4.I am considering giving up fake tan again partly because I watched Emma Pickles on Youtube and she looks so amazingly beautiful with her pale skin! Watch this space to see if it actually happens. Also go check out Emma Pickles, she is such a talented make up artist!

Patterns, Heels & Dresses

H&M is a little hit and miss sometimes. There are times I go in and I want everything and others when nothing jumps out at me and I leave empty handed and sad to not have some other item to add to my already bursting wardrobe.

These printed pants were on a Spring Offer. Originally £14.99 each, reduced to £7.49 each - bargain! I love trousers especially printed ones. I'm still figuring out how I want to wear them - the great tight vest top vs loose vneck tee debate is raging, it is tense! - I love the depth of the red print. They look more luxurious and a richer, heavier fabric rather than they actually are.  The black with white print will go with so much. I am searching for a orange tshirt to go with these, I think it would look amazing.

The next was a "I really shouldn't buy these but I am going to" moment - we all have these! These New Look pumps were a steal at £16 (Students get 20% off at the moment) and go with everything, pretty much! I plan on wearing them with this lace sundress from H&M. I didn't have dressy shoes that would go with it on a night out so I had to buy them! My bad...

The dress is just so girly and perfect. Totally not me but I love it with a bright clutch and a deep tan. Perfect. This dress comes in mint green too, I bought this but decided that I didn't need two of the same dress when we will probably have a week of summer sunshine!This dress is exceptionally hard to photography when not on the body but you get the general idea.

Happy Friday!

Hello!

Long time no blog! University got crazy busy but things are starting to slow down now. Thankfully. Dissertation has been handed in - a massive, massive thank you to all the Twitter users that took part in my research. Very much appreciated. My exam was today so just one report due in a week on Friday and then I am done! University is over!

I definitely want to get back into blogging now things aren't as manic. I lost my love for it a little bit but after a break, it is back! I want to blog about more things rather than just fashion and clothes. That said... if you follow me on Twitter - Link - you will know that recently I have been on a little workout kick. I have always been into health & fitness since I initially lost about 3 1/2 stone when i was about 18/19. I have wanted to be really toned for summer so I took it upon myself to get it! I have been working out 6 days a week. Not major, high intensity workouts every time but a mixture of toning, pilates and cardio. Que a few workout wear related purchases...


These neon shorts are from the H&M sportswear range. I got Neon pink and orange but they have 3 other colours. I love them. So comfy & easy to chuck on to workout in. Plus a bargain of bargains at £7.99! Link to the shorts is here.

In other news, I am growing my hair out! I have had a very short pixie cut for a good few years now but I fancy a change. I want some hair! The aim is a messy bob ala Julianne Hough but for now it is at this stage...
 
My hair now, freshly cut to let it grow in in a nice way! 


My hair super short on the 18th of March. I actually can't believe how short it is.

Apart from that not too much has been happening! I cannot wait to get back into blogging and to reading blogs now that I have some more free time. Enjoy this bootiful spring night!

Nice day for a white wedding.

Some random shots from the day but this is my wedding outfit from my friends wedding. How beautiful does she look?!

Back to me... I wanted to wear a put together dinner suit to the wedding rather than a dress which meant that apart from the men - obviously - I was the only one in a suit! I kept it all black with some rose gold pointy toed heeled from Topshop - bargain sale buy last summer - a black beaded clutch and some cobalt blue H&M sparkly earrings. Layers of fake tan, lashings of eye liner and I was ready to celebrate the holy matrimony!

Sunday Diary #16

1. I haven't blogged in about 2 weeks for a variety of reason. Mostly uni work - the end is in sight - and I lost my lust for blogging but after a little break & getting a good chunk of uni work done, I think it is back.

2. Last week I went to my friends wedding. It was absolutely beautiful. She looked stunning & was a lovely day.  After the wedding I went home to my Mum and Dads for a week which was also lovely. I love going home!

3. I gave up fake tan a few months back after being a serial user. I like embracing the pale for a while but now I am embracing the tan. I love fake tan, as long as I am tanned and have eyeliner I am a happy Emma!

Happy Sunday! x
