easter

Though this post is a little delayed, I hope you all had an amazing Easter weekend! I definitely did. My family and I took a trek over the hill near our house to the neighbours house, a fond tradition of ours. This was followed by an excellent Easter egg hunt and the new tradition of smashing cascarones (Confetti-filled eggs) over each other's heads. My outfit was the result of a chilly morning and an experimental twisty-braidy hairdo. Which was later decorated with colourful bits of confetti.

Since then I have made cake pops, procrastinated about the work I have to do over the holidays (Excuse me, but yech) and worked up the courage to dye and cut my hair! So, it didn't turn out exactly as I had pictured but it's beginning to grow on me (Literally! I'm so punny!). I was going for an ombre/baylage look almost exactly like this ,but my hair had a nasty reaction to the dye and a) went completely dry in a matter of seconds and b) barely absorbed any of the colour. It's taking the phrase "natural-looking" to a whole new level.
Ps. Thanks for all the lovely questions you all asked me! I am currently writing up a Q & A post!

So I have been experimenting a little with my hair, no I did not get it cut! Of course I am still growing it so I can have it blow in the breeze and look all whimsical and whatnot. This is a faux-bob, done with a curling iron, some clips and patience. Lots of patience.
The look is topped of with my now-favourite lip colour. The perfect colour - between purple and pink. I am thinking of, since I have a slight Youtube beauty video obsession, doing one myself. Just my daily beauty regime and some diy's. Tell me if you would like to see a video. Happy almost-weekend!

These are just a few top-half shots I took on a lazy morning, showing off my sparkly new nails. I have been in a slight funk lately and Revlon's "Silver Dollar" has been a constant pick-me-up. That and the lush vanilla bath bomb I got. Getting back on topic, this top from American Apparel is so amazing for layering as it is sheer, but not too sheer that I can't wear it as a top. Messy plaits have been my go-to hairstyle lately, it looks good and is easy (Hello, messy?)! I also got sunglasses (finally) that look really good with the plait.

plait

This last photo (courtesy of tumblr) has been a huge inspiration of mine for ages! These girls nailed the model-off-duty look (even if they aren't models) and I don't even have words for how amazing their hair is. I want a plait down to my bum. Simple as that. But for now, I have the plait in the first picture. It would look better with flowers in it, or incredibly thick and voluminous, but you get what your given. So be inspired, bloggers!

dip dyed

Okay, I admit it: I would never have the guts to do this to my hair. But if I had to, I don't think I would mind. It's edgy, almost hippie and goes with my nymphy maxi skirt vibe I had going in my last post. To be honest, Rumi's (first picture) probably looks the best even if it is one of the erm, toned down versions. She would probably still look amazing if she was bald, so we have to cut the others some slack. I decided to do this post because I went to the hairdresser's today, and got my hair cut... exactly the way it has been cut for my whole schooling life. I just want really long hair. That's it. But if any of you guys had the chance, would you go dip-dyed?
