Not All That Glitters is Gold...Apparently
Now,
We all know the root of all evil is love of money. And therefore the root of all good is love of...poor-ness..? Okay, surely I've got this mixed up. Well, as for me, I think I'd quite like to be like Jesus and leave behind fabulous clothes for haters to gamble and squabble over. Its that time where the sales are drawing to a close and I grabbed some fabulous, hater-worth-squabbling-over pieces of my own.
We all know metallics and glitter embellishments started making a comeback in the Autumn/Winter fashion season. 'Opulent Express' and 'Stardust' are a few of the names some popular retailers have used to describe this trend that's now sweeping into this season. It also involved galaxy details and designs, seen a lot from leggings at Romwe to Dresses at New Look. Alexa Chung and Miley Cyrus have been one of the few fabuloso ladies wearing pieces that fit ever so perfectly into this new trend.
Sincerely,

Coincidentally, and accentically on purpose taking inspiration from Miley's gorgeous outfit, combining the fitted turtle neck and this (amazingly good dupe by the way) metallic skirt...
With animal print heels, which I've been on the hunt for since I saw RiRi wear them last year, to give a killer combo worth haters fighting for...

Rolling Up Leaves with HighTops
I always thought Hightop Wedges looked. Well.
Pathetic
Gruesome.
Unnatural.
But after browsing some youtube fashionista's such as stylesecrets I was converted and it became this urge to grab them to go with any outfit, like a male escort-it made everything so complete. Still, I resisted for a while until I relented and me and the male escort-I mean Hightops, became well acquainted this evening. hey make me feel quite ghetto, I feel quite badass in them. Rebellious and awesome, like Eve, Lil Kim or the Queen.
So I'm going to see Life of Pi tonight with no boyfriend and no male escort, sitting in my cold room blogging. How sad. Still! I'm looking forward to the movie tonight, it looks pretty spectacular. Without much ado-heres the ootd video. I shall start posting those uber cool tumblr-like fashion pics of myself soonish!

IM A BARBIE BEETCH! PreciousMane Hair Company
You alright my lil wenches,
So, as y'all know, I'm doing hair reviews for a company called PreciousMane. The hair review of my latest install is below:
The celebrity styles that inspired this look:
I really wanted to re create the wavy blonde bob that Rita Ora has in this stunning picture. I also want to try red lippy with a red dress this season too!
Since 2011, I've always remembered this gorgeous picture of Cheryl Cole with her asymmetrical bob that was so subtle and discreet, so I cut my bob to be longer on the right side of my face, but maintaining the subtlety but keeping it a little bit edgy.
Caroline Flacks famous ombred style do is something I've wanted to try for AGES, i wanted to make it extremely blonde at the ends and gradually work into a dark brown at the top of my hair.
BLEACHING
To bleach this hair I used 40 Developer and bleach powder to mix together to form bleach in a Paste-like texture. The hair is pure virgin Malaysian hair so it took to the bleach very very quickly, one section turned platinum blonde and I had to buy 'Dark n Lovely' Hair Dye in Light Brown to bring it down a few shades. I put the bleach on the different sections of hair for different amounts of time to get different tones of light and honey blonde.
The hair in its natural wave pattern is stunning, low maintenance and is great for you girls who find it hard to blende your natural hair in with weaves as the hair is thick, and in a straight texture it looks like relaxed hair. The only things I discovered was there were a few grey hairs in the wefts, but so far I love the hair and the shedding is so minimal. Hope you love this as much as I do!

November Favorites! PLUS...I got BANGS!
Hi Guys!
Long time no see!
I can't wait for you girls to see what I'm gonna be posting up on here. So many of you have been begging me to showcase more of my girly, feminine side, asking me to talk about trends, favorite lippies and make up trends, OOTD's and much, much more.
So I decided to create a new blog full of all these goodies. I'm actually SO excited for you guys to see that part of me, I've been giving make up and fashion a bit of a break (and plus it's third year so I've been uber stressed) but as the Christmas season is approaching, I know it's time to get out of that awful autumn funk. This first blog post is just gonna update you on a few things I've been LOVING this season. Of course the first and most important thing I need to tell you guys about is the hairstyle I've had this Autumn.
As you guys already know I'm currently trying out hair from the lovely PreciousMane, a company I never want to ever stray from because to tell you the truth-it's the best hair I've ever sampled, all their textures are simply gorgeous. The new weave I have is straight Brazilian weave. I used 4 packets (but I left some out as it was already thick enough for the image I was going for). I wanted to achieve Lea Michele (Glee) and a cross between Cheryl Cole's side swept bangs (seen in the 'Say My Name' video). The lengths I have are two packs of 20", 16" and one pack of 10" for the fringe. As usual the packaging was beautiful and came with a weft sealant which I used on the longer lengths only. I didn't really need to use much of it as the hair really doesn't shed at all. I really wanted to change it up to match what mood I was in. As you guys know, I now make my own wigs, the first time I made it, I wanted it straight and sleek, inspired by the beautiful Miss Kelly Rowland.

The hair when I first got it was bouncy, had a soft curl to it, was quite brown towards the end, it didn't shed and it didn't have that strange processed chlorine smell to it. I put the wefts on the wig cap using bondage glue, though sometimes the glue would weaken so I will start sewing the wefts (I'd advise you do this too). The hair was stunning, so easy to straighten and curled like a dream, it went perfectly with my Ruby Woo too. Next I added more hair and made the fringe thicker in the style I mentioned up thurr ^. I am LOVING this style, I curl it with my Red Remington Curling Wand into big bouncy curls, and with my thick fringe, its perfect for the Fall Season. The hair is so awesome that the curls last up to a week! I can't wait till my next install, I'll be calling Eunice very soon, I hope you guys visit PreciousMane.

The next product I've been RAVING about to every Tom, Dick and Harry I've met, is this product from Lush called 'Let the Good Times Roll' it's part of their annual Christmas collection, in which they infuse their new products with festive ingredients such as cinnamon. The product is a face wash that I just love, I wasn't planning on buying it but as I walked in to the lovely Lush store I was just sold by the Lush guy (salesman lol) that I just had to get it. It smells, yeah-AMAZE BALLS, its like cinnamony, popcorny and all moistorisingy up on my skin and stuuffs. I secretly want to taste it, I won't lie to you. It makes my skin uber soft and my complexion is so much brighter after using it. I love that it has natural ingredients (and actual popcorn!) it uses natural preservatives such as salt and sugar, which to me-condones eating it. Anyway, this is the face wash I've been loving. Go check it out y'all!

The last product I want to tell y'all about is something I've been mentioning to you for quite some time now. Its Grow Luscious mascara from Revlon. It has these amazing nutrients in them that make your eyelashes curl and grow too. Now I was dubious as to how effective it could be, it is a mascara after all. But after a month of using it, I realised how thick and long my lashes were starting to grow, and as soon as I stopped using it (it finished. Boohoo. I'm soon to visit Superdrug for a new one). I'd highly recommend and suggest this baby for you bubs who have eyelashes that have been damaged by wear and tear (snatching off certain false eyelashes). I just want to run to Superdrug now to get a new one, I'm already craving it!
So one lovely Autumn day when I was walking back from a dinner date with a friend, I walked alongside Deichmann, I'd never been inside before and I saw Halle Berry's glowing face and I walked in with one thing in mind.
Winter high heeled boots.
I walked to the bank and LO and BE HOLD there were a pair of black suede booties, under the boot, the soles were leopard print. I mean...COME ON! :D
.JPG)
*Drools*
They are actually a size 4 whereas I'm a size 5. Deichmann sizes are a tad bit funny so you have to get a size below your normal UK size. These boots-yeah-are the most comfortable boots I've ever had with a stiletto heel. I can walk in them for hours. My favorite winter outfit (where I have my big curly hair and bangs) include my grey jeans, my red vintage blazer and my white asymmetrical top from Topshop.

I hope you love this look and you've enjoyed reading this crazy tale of product and hair based adventures!
Lots of Love!
