Pictures!

Finally found my camera! Face of Saturday night:




I haven't been out for ages so I was really proud I could still remember night make-up! It's pretty much just black and gold as highlight. I am not that great at make up but am being inspired and learning from various make-up blogs I follow so THANK YOU! Eyelashes are Cheryl Cole ones - really like them as they are different to ones I usually wear! Well I had to peel the lash off the right eye as it was blocking my sight and I had to drive about 2 hours...so glad I didn't get pulled over with one side of lashes off and the other side still attached lol

And YES I have my hands on Leopard Print Coat - ohmylife just found out it's now 20% off - NOT FAIR!!!! Anyway I am slightly obsessed with leopard print this season - will be doing a feature on it soon! You will (hopefully) find changes and new features on this blog soon and hope you'll like it even more!

Thank you for all your fun comments on yesterday's post, I hope you had fun! I'll let you know what I saw in tomorrow's post - it'll be a scheduled post so hope it works!!

What are you into this season and do you love leopard prints too? Blog about your leopard print items, would love to see how you wear them!

My frustration...

As mentioned in yesterday's post, as much as I loved my new hair colour ... I was slightly annoyed with it!

Remember from this post I mentioned I finally got my hands on Mega Dango (Mega bun) from Japan??? Well the colour matched PERFECTLY...until yesterday! Let me explain further in pictures.

I've wanted big fluffy hair for a while now so I can create big fluffy cute hair buns like this:


and this:


And since it has taken so long for my hair to grow and most Japanese rely on extensions / fake hair to help create the fluffiness anyway, I was really pleased with my purchase. But now the colour does not match...



... I am not a happy bunny.


Comment below and/or show me your cute face you pull when you're not happy to make me smile again!


p/s Let me know if you are interested in Mega Dango and I'll write a review on it! xxx

OOTD & new hair colour!

Why does the evening always go so quickly and the day so slowly?? Rarr :(
Anyway, outfit of the day:


Can't go wrong with a £3 dress from reduction line in Primark! Love that it's versatile and will go with practically anything!! Also the fact it is slightly vintagey with the A-line skirt bit. It would look great with cute white lace ankle socks & shoes!


New colour which is a couple shades lighter ... love it but is a little bit annoying - I'll explain all tomorrow! This week will have more skin care & outfits post! Keep checking back and if you're reading this and have never commented, leave some ♥ nowww! Remember you can follow me by clicking on 'follow' on the right with google or bloglovin. and do follow as I'll have a little giveaway when the numbers reach 50!



Nighty night! xx

Autumn

Walking around the shops in the weekend shows that summer is definitely coming to an end for sure :( but at least we have fun things to look forward to in autumn! Boots & warm coats, beautiful wool tights & hats!!! I never used to like hats, but in recent years I've grown to love them!! Thought I'd share with you some hats pictures!




A purple shark head?



umm maybe a whale? I am a big whale person!!



mmm not sure about this look!


Mushroom head hat?? Ps taken in Shibuya 109 (the best mall EVER in Tokyo) - Anyone reading my blog been there? Let me know if you have and tell me what it was about 109 that you love!!






Minnie hat at Tokyo Disneyland



Panda hat on a good hair day (with extensions)



Shopping for a hat (should have bought them!)



Proudest hat everr :)

Mega Dango / Wigs

Mmm...my room smells gorgeous at the moment with green tea & lemon oil burning ... I'm addicted!

So I have some good & bad news to share. Bad first - Earthquake in NZ is still bad, doesnt help that Jon is right at the epicentre with frequent tremours and shakes :( He had 3 quite major shakes earlier ... him & his friends have now decided to flee (is that a word? sounds funny) Christchurch and heading towards Auckland where its safe. Hope they are ok!

Good news - I can't wait for my friend Yurina from Japan to arrive next Monday!! (must clean room up grr). I also asked her to buy some stuff for me ... I've been wanting them for agesss! I always used to have long hair until when I was in Japan (2 years ago) I decided a change is needed so I chopped it all off. I loved it short - so much fun and so different! but hated the growing it out stage as it took so long and just so unflattering!


Short bob which I loveee



As I hated the growing out stage, I put in extensions (bonded / Japanese way). I found a specialist place in London ran by Japanese and looked like this:


Actual hair was shoulder length (by necklace on right)


It was real hair extensions and you wouldn't believe how much I paid for that...£2xx.00 .... it was probably 5 times more than how much it would cost if I did it in Japan! UNFAIR. Anyways, the price of vanity & it was also for my graduation.

Finally my hair grew out in recent months and now it looks ... well, scroll down and you can see what it looks like or click here to see my photoshoot from the other weekend!

Sometimes I still miss my short hair ... and if hair didn't take that long to grow I'd definitely cut it short again! But recent craze for wigs provided the perfect solution to my problems!

Pros for wigs:
- change of style / look instantly
- change of hair colour without damaging own hair
- easy to put on
- takes less than a minute (probably)
- probably comfortable...

I said probably on the last point because I haven't actually tried them on, I'll do a review when I get them but until then, I just wanted to share my excitement with you guys what I ordered!


Mega dango


This is just the bun bit ... ah I can't wait! My hair isn't thick enough or long enough to put it up like that so I can't wait to put this on!!



And a cute short wig!!

So now I can change my looks / style more easily!! Check back for reviews!!


Do you prefer long or short hair? Have you ever done something dramatically different to your hair? and would you try wigs?

I really don't get it.

It's time to get a new passport ... so off I go to one of those photo booth that charges extortionate amount for some pretty normal looking photo (I really detest them for charging £5!!)




Rather happy with the result ... only to find out that the people won't accept my photo because my head is slightly tilted and im smiling.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME??????? Passports lasts FOREVER so it's not a crime to want to look good especially when you always look rough after travelling. Give the security guys some happiness when they see a smiling photo (and the fact that the rough looking person in front of them with glasses, messy hair & make-up free face CAN actually look good!). So pretty photo rejected, off I go again to take another. Please, be warned.


No, seriously.


Here is my mug shot...





Uhhhh I look like I'm about to kill someone. Doesn't help that my fringe was cut too short looking like Cleopatra (another post on that tomorrow). There goes my £5 & this picture haunting me for like ever.

If I had my own country ... I'd let my lovely citizens pose & take funny pictures for sure! I'll run a competition: Funniest Passport Photo of the Year. Yep.

How do you look on your passport? Feel free to write a similar post with your mugshot and link it by commenting below!


Oh PS, here is my boyfriend's mugshot.



CRIMINAL MUCH????????? Yahaaaa! Boo he's living it up in New Zealand at the moment and im still here waaa Give.Me.My.New.Passport.Like.NAO!!!!

A good cuppa




How do you like your tea? No sugar for me thanks, and a strong strong cuppa. Mmm yum.

New hair

Yep, new hair! Was quite shocked initially with the drastic change but I love it!! Still need to get used to the hair touching the eyes!




Also coloured it to a lighter shade of brown


In my Tigers shirt



So what do you think? Still a bit odd when I look in the mirror and dont see my eyebrows!
