SO, I CUT MY HAIR


Black turtle neck top: ASOS
Lipstick: Chanel 'La Desirée'

So the other night, I had a slight yolo moment and decided to get a pair of scissors and started chopping away at my hair. Before September it had been down to my belly button and I had got absolutely sick of it and chopped a load of it off, but after seeing so many people with their hair around my new length I decided I wanted to go even shorter. Being the impatient person I am, I decided just to grab some nearby scissors and start cutting, and you know - I think I did an alright job. Okay, there are the occasional pieces that are quite a bit longer/shorter than the rest but I like to go for a quite messy style and I think that just adds to it.
Also, my hair looks bright ginger in this photo - I've never dyed my hair and it just tends to change colour as and when it wants to, I guess today it decided it was a ginger day!



Have you ever cut your own hair or have you ever been tempted to?

THE STRIPED TSHIRT DRESS







Dress: H&M
Shirt: Jack Wills
Bag: Zara
Shoes: Russell and Bromley
Lipstick: Chanel 'La Desirée' 
Scarf: New Look

I had been after a striped t-shirt dress for a while, after repetitively seeing photos on Pinterest and loving the way it looks. I bought this one for an absolute bargain of £5 in H&M recently (and I also may of gone back and bought the same one in grey, burgundy and blue...) I love how they are so simple to wear and will go with any accessories, whilst getting a ten out of ten for comfort. I wore this with my new favourite New Look scarf which is a houndstooth print on one side and a blue/green tartan on the other - they do it in a few different colour combinations and I feel like every other person I see in the street is wearing it!

MOROCCO VIDEO DIARY


I've been meaning to put together this video for months, but the editing software on my old laptop was just so slow that it would just crash every time I came to try and edit it! I finally upgraded to a Macbook Pro, so I thought was finally time to edit together this video from mine and Carissa's trip to Morocco. I posted a Morocco photo diary a while ago too, which has lots more photos from our trip!

BATTERSEA FIREWORKS

Last week, Carissa took me on a surprise birthday trip to London! We went to a sample sale from The Kooples in Shoreditch, had lunch in The Book Club, went on a London tour, went shopping, went for dinner in The Diner on Carnaby Street and then went to the Battersea Park Fireworks. I took my camera along with me, and forgot to photograph most of it, but here are some of the photos I got from the fireworks. I used a longer shutter speed on the flame thrower photographs and I love how they ended up turning out, it's amazing the effects you can get on your camera just with changing a few simple settings!

Thank you Carissa for such a good day out!!!
