Beat it.

I bought myself this shirt in the Urban Outfitters sale for £5! Everything's half price then half price again. Super happy

 Urban Outfitters shirt, H&M leggings, Jeffrey Campbell shoes

I dyed my hair earlier today by mixing up all the left overs I had and it went this weird purple colour. Not sure if I like it yet, what do you think?

Sorry guys, I've been awfully awful at running this blog. Mainly because I haven't got my own computer and iPad can't do anything cos they're shit.

This is an outfit from ages ago I found on my computer:

Everything's vintage apart from the Jeffrey Campbell Litas.

Since this photo, my hair's changed colour:

I used Stargazer in Royal Blue on top of my orange hair and the colour went green fading to blue at the bottom! I feel like a real life mermaid yeyyy

I also bought this ace tie-dye t-shirt from the vintage shop in town:

Any ideas on how I can style this bad boy? It's proving to be rather difficult...

Sorry for the bad quality photos, they were taken on iPad and iPad really doesn't have the best cameras. God I hate iPads. No-one ever get one please. Mine's ruined my life.

I've got some more outfit ideas to post soon (when I decide to be less lazy) so stay tuned kids!

I'll leave you with this beaut

Over there

I've been knitting furiously for the past month, and it was all for last week's college fashion show. Stupidly, I decided to make five garments. This meant very little sleep and bleeding friction burns on my fingers.

Having taken three weeks off at the beginning of make time due to my operation, I genuinely thought I'd get three, maybe four, outfits ready for the show. But I worked my big butt off and managed five! (In this photo I'm wearing my sleeve the wrong way round. oops.) I was surprised to win best collection at the prize giving afterwards and super happy with the Topshop voucher I got!

On a slightly different topic, this evening I dyed my hair pink yeyyyy. It's gone very pink on the ends and kind of peachy colour in the middle. Obviously my roots are still black like ALWAYS. Here's a cute Instagram pic of me thinking I'm good at photography because I can put cheap edits on my iPad photos. (My name on it is horriblelauren if you wanna follow lol)

Nice cartoon lips Lauren.

Chalky

I saw a few posts on the Internet about hair chalking so decided to give it a go. I wasn't expecting to get very good results because of my dark hair and previous attempts to put colour in it. But surprisingly the colour came out ace!

Here's how to:

1. Get some oil pastels (I used WHSmiths Soft Pastels - they've got a chalk-like texture to them), a cup of water, a paper towel, a set of curling tongs/straighteners and hairspray.
2. Dip the strand of hair you want coloured into water and pat with the paper towel so it's damp (you might find it easier to use a water spray but I haven't got one of those).
3. Place the strand of hair onto a paper towel and colour it in with your chosen pastel. Always colour downwards with the pastel to keep from damaging your hair.
4. Use a straightener/curling tong to set in the colour. I've read on line that curling tongs work best, but I don't own one of those and straightening seemed fine.
5. Hairspray the ends, brush your hair, and you're ready to go!
6. Just don't go out in to rain/touch it too much or the colour will come out.

Happy chalking!

Take a Bow.

I've been poorly the past week with a silly kidney infection. I thought I'd cheer myself up by learning how to do my hair like this:

Everyone that knows me will tell you I'm not Lady Gaga's biggest fan, but the bow is so easy and cute and Asian-y! 

Ewwwwww look at my roots.
