Pink hair??!! and Motel haul...

Just had my hair done by my lovely hairdresser Cara. She is literally the only person I trust to do my hair as she knows me really well and doesn't try to push me into more extreme styles that just wouldn't feel like 'me'. 
I have lightened the ends of my hair in preparation for the marshmallow pink dye that I have bought and she has toned down the top third of my hair to a colour similar to my natural colour...the aim being that I will dye my hair less and just leave it au natural...except for the bright pink obvs.

the photo doesn't really show the difference between the top and bottoms of my hair but I will post a better photo once I have dyed it PINK!!
 As you can see I am wielding my camera. This is part of my new aim to use less instagram photos on my blog. I want to try and vary it a bit so that the images are a bit more life-like. That's not to say I will stop using instagram completely though...as it is super convenient for on-the-go posts.

This week I ended up receiving to parcels in 2 days! I love receiving packages as it doesn't happen that often. My Motel order arrived just in time for the weekend. I chose an Aztec print play-suit with cut-out back and the red ditzy floral playsuit too. Plus some brand new nail varnishes from Model's Own to add to my already stupidly large collection of polishes that are taking over my BF's bedroom.

I'd never usually wear red but this will look great with my leather jacket and DM's

Model's Own nail polish in: pinky/brown beetle juice, aqua/violet beetle juice and Sophie's pink

I have just ordered a new camera tripod from Ebay so expect lots more self-portraits and less instant instagram convenience (hopefully).

Ladies who lunch...

Gosh it has been a while since I posted!
 I have recently completed my 3 weeks work experience at Motel! It was such a great experience and I learnt so much about the industry. All the girls were great and very happy to answer any questions I had and I feel I was very lucky to get this placement as I know a lot of fashion students just end up sat cleaning a store cupboard or making tea....just for the record I didn't make one cup of tea! haha 
Everyone at Motel was great and were sweet enough to give me some Motel credit to spend online so expect a post on my new Motel goodies shortly.

 A definite high-light of my intern-ship was getting to sit in on a buyer's meeting of a future capsule (August). The process was fascinating and has sparked a new career interest for me.

 I spent the bank holiday back at home in Dorset mostly working but I did get to go out with some of my bestie's to see a local band and make the most of the gorgeous weather. We had the best club sandwiches ever down The Cove House Inn .

No photo-shopping required! My home is naturally this beautiful!

The weather is horrendous now so I am avoiding going out and will be doing a spot of indoor clothes D.I.Y- ing!
Will keep you posted
