HIYA, SHADES OF SUMMER - WELL ALTHOUGH I AM A BIT OF A FAN OF HUES COLOURS AND SHADES I MEAN SUNGLASSES THIS TIME.
suddenly i see - KT Tunstall, listen and read..
here are a few photos of glasses.. i have mainly just chosen some photos i liked and thought were cool but also products, there are two basic styles of glasses i am focusing on vaguely, round retro and more geeky/ wayfarer style xxx see if you can spot them each, geeky shape first
sophistication and allure
min wig + flo rida
summer in america
sabrina jones
classic elegance
anna blekkingh
innocence grown up
livvii samuels (probably spelt wrong..)
AMERICAN APPAREL - £35
LAZY OAF - £23
wayfarer/geeky frames- these shape glasses are incredibly flattering and will suit most people, my favorite colours of them for this summer are pastel lilac, blue and grey, tortoiseshell, white and turquoise
round and retro - these sort of glasses suit mostly faces with a strong bone structure or heart shaped or slim face as opposed to chubbier faces but it really doesnt matter, wear them if you want, they're cool! my favorite colours for this style are ruby red, navy, tortoiseshell, black and cream
incase that song is over - heres another tune to listen while you read...

THE GREAT THING ABOUT ACCESSORIES - AND ALSO SUNGLASSES - IS THAT YOU CAN WEAR THEM WITH ALMOST ANYTHING, HOODIES, WOOLENS, DRESSES, BODYCON, WHITE, FLORAL, LEATHER, LACE, WELLIES. YOU NAME IT.
Anyway, i hope you enjoyed looking at those pictures and can envisage your next pair of sunglasses, i reccomend camden where you can haggle a pair for £3 or three for £12. I went a bit mad there this week and bought four pairs or something ridiculous.
Anyway, have a beautiful and bountiful bank holiday (alliteration animal you'll see), wedding post coming soon, i think... xxxxxxxxxxxx
Basically, this blog isnt really about make up. and i'm not a teacher,
so i'm probably making a fool of myself with this step by step thing
since we all already know how to do a bun (obv) but just in case...
and for my practice haha. (incase i forget how)
Brush out your hair with no parting, so it is knot free and over your back
take your brushed hair and hold it in a centred high ponytail
using a brush or comb even better, brush any bumps and strays into your hand
secure with a hairtie so you are left with a neat(ish) ponytail
brush the ponytail so it is manageable and straight
hold the top of the ponytail and with the other hand twist it round in an outward spiral
use a hairtie to secure but instead of putting it round a couple of times just
put the hairband round loosely so it is held roughly in place not too rigidly
use kirby grips to pin down any reluctant stray hairs
then using your fingers, gently tease the hair out of the band and clips but not so it is falling out, if you succeed it should be a perfected messy bun
Hey hey, carrying on from my last post about travelling, this one is about tribal stuff.

First of all just a few quick pics to show you, all rather tribal i thought...
really cool photo, and i don't know why but this
faceless woman reminds me of sarah jessica parker..
beautiful, just that i think the hair is half the magic of this photo.
the bare arm and massive hair kind of warps the
way the body looks, creepy or cool, you decide..
a different sort, but tribal all the same. it love how
even with all the bright colours its still tribal looking.

Hello, Hello, Hello, i just got back from france a couple of days ago where i went on a school trip! It was prety ravesicles and I stayed with a friend in someone else's house and it was all v lovely! The sun was out and there were no grey skies for the whole time :O

Anyway that was just to let you catch up, but what im just gonna be showing you this time is traveling. not really fashion so much but just a few photos. I found these on various websites campaigns etc xxx
life on the road enjoying the light of the sunrises, the evening sun, the dust under your feet, the stretches of road, the motion of walking and driving and not stopping. basking in the heat of the day and relinquishing in the cool subtlety of night. its just a pretty atmosphere and i thought i'd like to share it.
Ok after that enormous moment of chheeesse. Some pics and stuff.....
THOSE WERE JUST A FEW PICTURES I FOUND ESPECIALLY COOL.
HERE ARE SOME PICTURES OF MINE, SOME FROM TRAVELLING
SO, those were just a few pictures taken by my madre or me which reminded me of travelling, cos they were taken travelling. Capturing the light of the day. Makes me excited for summer and happy to be aliive.
incase you were very slow and that song has already finished, here is another song from another fave pal of miine, Minnie wigz.
Here are just a few links and pics of clothes, random as it may seem they do kind of relate to this theme. or maybe only dans my head... Voila..
