Sunday Afternoon Dress-Up.

After a busy few weeks of school, choir and homework I finally got to the shops for the first time in what felt like forever and I got this dress in the sales at Jay Jays.  The collar is from Lovisa and shoes Mr Price.

Flatforms.

I recently saw someone wearing a pair of flatforms and I liked them so much that I went on a hunt for my own pair- and these are what I found.

I've never owned any flatforms before but so far I'm definitely liking them.  These ones are from Mr Price and while still giving you height they are far more comfortable than heels.  I'm keen to try find some more at some stage as they are quite versatile and I'm sure I'll continue to wear them all year round.

Have a lovely week!

Holiday Adventures- Hartford House.

Next on our trip we went to Hartford House to visit my mom's cousin and have tea.  It's in a super pretty area and the tea and scones were delicious.

Pastels.

If you follow me on Pinterest you may have noticed that I have an slight obsession with all things pastel at the moment.  So I thought why not put them all into one blog post to drool over?

Sigh. So pretty.

Explosion of colour.

This looks like so much fun, going to one of these festivals is definitely on my bucket list.

Hello and welcome to my wardrobe.

Ah how I love shopping with birthday money... These are both from Mr Price, which I must admit really seems to have improved over the last couple months, having brought in a lot more stuff like this.

September, what?

15 days. And a dress.

Firstly, this is a dress I got at the last iheartmarket that I've been meaning to blog about for ages but procrastination etc.  Anyway, here it is.  I wasn't too sure about it at first because the style of the dress is quite old and it's pretty long so I think I'm going to take it up a bit.  It's different to any of my other dresses but I quite like it.

Also in case you had't noticed: it's August.  Basically the best month of the year.  When I first started typing this post I thought there were 16 more days until I turn 16, which would have been pretty cool but it turns out there are only 15 days.  To put it simply, I'm excited.  Which is weird, considering I don't usually get that worked up over birthdays etc.  Yay yay yay.

Happy Monday.

Dip Dye♥

For a while now I've found myself drooling over the dip dyed hair of girls in dreamy artsy pictures like this one: (All images from http://weheartit.com/)

I wish I was her.

First of all deciding how to do it took me a while.  There are a couple options but obviously I wanted something non- permanent which ruled out real hair dye and some stuff involving bleach.  The next option I found was food colouring.  It sounds a little dodgy but after watching a few YouTube video's it looks as though it works.  

Anyway I thought that seeing as though it is the holidays now it should be relatively safe to give it a try so that I have a couple weeks to get it out of my hair if it does turn out to be more than temporary.  I decided that I wanted to have blue tips, like in the pictures below.

Seeing as though I'm a bit of a wuss I just did one small piece of hair as a test to see how long it would take to come out.  I used this video to get the hang of how to do it:

Things you will need:

water
food coloring
hair ties
towels
hair dryer
conditioner


1. Braid hair into plaits, tying off where you want the dye to go up to.
2. Add 5+ drops of food coloring to a cup of water.
3. Dip the plaited hair ends into the cup and leave in coloring for about 2 minutes.
4.Take out of cup and towel dry.
5. Add a few drops of food coloring straight to the hair.
6. Put a small amount of conditioner on the colored hair and lather.
7. Leave conditioner in for about 2 minutes.
8. Dip back into coloring and water in cup for about 30 seconds.
9. Towel dry and blow dry the hair.

Because my hair is fairly dark it came out quite quite a lot lighter than in most of these pictures but I still quite liked it.  Also, much to my mom's delight it did come out the next time I washed it.  I would have liked for it to stay in a little longer but I guess it's not that complicated to do even if it's only for a couple days.
