Embellished Sunday

Hey! Hope you are well! Yesterday was quite a gorgeous day in Belfast, my fiancé and I decided to take a drive up the mountain on our way to my dad's to get a view shots.  I adore these Topshop high waisted  Jamie skinny jeans, they are super comfy and the perfect fit and colour!



I just bought these jeans the other day, they caught my eye across the shop, i absolutely love the colour of them..are you like me and always trying to find the perfect this the perfect that, these for me are the perfect blue jeans, i have to have high waisted because of my big bum (HA) so they are a lovely fit and ankle grazers so sit really well with heels or boots!

I just got these boots a few weeks ago...they are my new friends...super comfy! and are still 25% off!! i love the colour!

Shopping, Baby's and wine oh my

Hey beautiful people! Today i met an old friend from school who had a little baby just 4 months ago, he is so cute a squishy! I just wanted to eat his cheeks!!!  I love baby's, and seeing baby John made me a little more broody than usual!

After i left my friend i went into Belfast city centre for a little (window) retail therapy...well saying that i bought a few things! check back tomorrow for my review on some of the products i bought!

I then my my handsome fiancé for dinner (and a sneaky glass of wine) in Muriel's bar/restaurant.  Its a quirky little bar, with underwear hanging from the ceiling, vintage pin up photos in the lady's bathroom and the best chicken pie in all of Belfast!

 

This is what i wore today:

Wardrobe essential, Leather Skirt!

Jumper: H&M

Skirt: Topshop (sale)

Heels: Primark

Bag: Primark

I love this look! This skirt is one of those buys that i just grabbed because i thought "well, i don't have a leather skirt"!....So that's how that was bought, it ended up being a staple in my wardrobe and especially one of those items that when i don't know what to wear (and it looks like a monkey got into my wardrobe and decided to throw my clothes everywhere).  The shoes are super comfy and a lovely primark price for only £10! A little tip for buying heels, always try to bring them to your local shoe menders and get them to re-heel and sole them, in the case of primark shoes yes i basically paid the same amount as the shoes cost, but the upside is they will last you a lot longer!  Trust me! 

Do you never notice how heels and soles on new shoes sometimes just wear away too quick and the next thing you know they are scuffed with holes and it rains and you have a puddle in your shoe? ...not a good look, so this is a great way to keep those favorite new shoes a little newer longer...plus the sole is thicker and you cant feel every bump in the ground..(ouch) we women don't get is easy i'm telling you!

Is there a staple outfit you have in your closet that you can't live without? Comment below and tell me some of your fav wardrobe essentials!

Perfect at home ombré with a twist!

Hi! How are you?  So for the past while I have been really wanting to do the whole dip dye thing...now I have tried it before with the at home loreal dip dye and it just didn't work.  Oh you would think after trying it the first time and my hair just going a horrible orange colour that I would never do it again...ah well I did.  I know I am weird...the bleach must have went to my head, and not in the way I wanted it too.

I have read on blogs about doing something like this yourself and I know that if you are naturally dark (like me) that it can obviously make your hair turn burnt orange.  That you should be patient use a toner and buy purple shampoo and all that there...but I am just not that patient, when I do my hair I want it to be perfect there and then don't you? So after dying my hair back to brown again I left it and vowed I am never going to attempt blonde in my hair again myself, il just save up and treat myself to a salon job.

Then I got to thinking...my hair extensions where dying on  me so I had to take a trip into town to treat myself to some new silky extensions...so I thought hold a minute why don't I try buying a set that has blonde and kind of make a dip dye effect without having to actually having to dye my hair,? Light bulb moment!!!!  I went for it, not knowing it would work and just picked a colour that had browns and blondes through it so it was subtle but still give me that lighter at the bottom look!

The result?? I am in love with my new hair!! And it was a lot cheaper than paying for a dye in the salon! I just wanted to share this as I know a lot of you reading this are in the exact same position, we all want to change it up a little and this I think is a perfect alternative! Here is a photo once I got them home and curled them so as the blend a little better, below are some pictures to show you the resullt!!

Comment below and let me know what you think of my new do! Have you ever tried the at home ombre? If you decide to try this quick fix let me know how it turns out!?

Thanks for stopping by! X
