Spring 2014 - Missguided picks

Hay Lovely's

Following on from my last post (here) I thought well River Island is a little expensive. So I turned to my favorite online shop which is much more purse friendly Missguided. So here are my little picks - you should also sign up to Missguided e-mails as they often send out promotion codes and notifications of sales which is awesome.

Thank you for reading and pop by again soon xoxox

Short Story Fashion: Recent purchase!

Hay Lovely's

Now I have tried to well behaved and kept that credit card safe in the comfort of my purse but it some how managed to escape whilst in Topshop! And it escaped in style...wiping a hefty 95 quid away with one purchase! 

Yes that purchase was the lovely Parka Jacket in the picture above! Now, I hear my defences before you sentence me: 

1. Practicality: I live in Glasgow therefore I need a warm cosy jacket NOW never mind when winter hits.
2. Diversity: The lining in this lovely parka comes away meaning I get two jackets for the price of one.
3. Cohesion: My BF didn't exactly discourage me from buying this...just saying per-pressure works.
4. Its really pretty! :)

Now I know my defences are very superficial and childish but they allow me to sleep at night! ;-) Trust me I found it really hard to hand over my card to pay for it, to the point that I nearly cried! What yours guys biggest purchase to -date? 

Short Story Review: Twisted Sisters Glasgow!

Hay Lovely's

Now grab a cuppa and site down for a nice read, as I am wanting to talk to you about hair. I am no expert on the subject but thankfully my lovely hair dresser at Twisted Sister in Glasgow is and she shares a few tips with me every time I go in. So I thought I would reward her generosity by doing a wee review! 

Finding a brilliant hair dresser is half the battle so when I met Marj about 3 years ago now it was love! Not only does she listen to you, which BTW hairdressers you have to start doing that, but she takes no shit! She tells you if your being completely outrageous: like this one time I wanted to go lighter and she laughed at me and told me no! Now I realise that she was actually right with my nice brown hair would have frizzled under bleach consumption. But still at the time I was shocked most hairdressers I met just go along with you, until disaster strikes and lies saying how lovely you look, when its clearly not the case. 

Now Marj has found a new home in Twisted Sisters in the hart of Glasgow's Merchant City, which was a bit concerning for me as I thought that meant scary super-salon prices, but at only £35 for a cute and blow dry its actually rather purse friendly, with a real glitz about it. Twisted Sisters has stapled down the one stop beauty shop for all women: doing hair, make up & nails. Its a modern girls dream location to pamper ones-self before your birthday night out, crazy Saturday adventure or even your special wedding day. 

Speaking of wedding days the lovely girls at Twisted Sisters will be attending The Scottish Wedding Show this October (did you like the plug) and have even done a few styling shoots already! See lovely picture below.

Anyway's, I were was I, oh that's right, some examples of there work would prob's be best help to you than me ramble on. Now Twisted Sisters doesn't have a website as of yet, but they are on the Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TwistedSisterHairBar & soon to be on the Twitter & Instragram (social networking at its best).  But I have found some, not the best, pictures of my after hair done by Marj, no before pictures were found funny enough.

what was that style everyone was wearing: Marj done it brilliant anyways.

Getting my colour back: Sorry for the pic (Marj)

Bouncy Birthday hair (Twisted Sisters: Marj)

Some of Marj's 3 best tips:

1. Don't over wash your hair: Simple old muma stuff but so true now I was a wash my hair everyday girl until Marj shouted at me...but to fair she was right.
2. Blow dry you hair up-side down: It will be a strange looking one if your drying your hair near the window but if your a flat head like myself trust me its worth it.
3. Heat product or die: Shes always reminding me to use my heat protecting stuff, which to be honest am a 50/50 on that one because I always forget to use it while blow drying my hair.

Now am sure she has given me more advice than this but to be honest am hopeless so its best to book an appointment and hear it for yourselves.  Thanks for reading :P 

My new hair: chocolate brown!

Hay lovely's 

Hows your Tuesday going? I have a wee day off work today, to get my hair dyed and thought I would show  you the outcome. My Hair is naturally brown, but this summer I decided to experiment with colour (Yip it took me 25 years to dye my hair and to be honest it was worth it!) and get on bored with the ombre effect.

This was my hair last week!

This was my hair when I first got it done ! 

Why? The hair style was lovely at first but then then it started orange-out and then I noticed every second person had that style of hair and I thought yea am over this! So I made an appointment with my brilliant hairdresser, who I love, at K Hair Dressers in the south-side of Glasgow and with a cheeky 50% got my colour done today!

This is the result and nice Chocolate brown, Cheryl Cole inspired ( I love her) and my lovely hair dresser showed me how to work my hair extensions, sorry they were bought form a local shop in Glasgow that my hairdresser uses and I don't know the name of it! all for the very reasonable price of £36! (Tip not included, FYI always tip your hairdresser 15%!)

If any of you ladies or gents are from the Glasgow area the hairdressers is called K Hair designs in Shawlands, they are amazing and well worth checking out! They also have a Facebook page with many competitions and discounts!
