Love

Hair - love. Lipstick - love. Glasses - love. Breton - love. Coat - love. Belt - love. Skirt - love.

I love this outfit. That is all.

Monday Muses

Following last week's 'Miranda Monday' I've decided to open the category up for all the other gorgeous, fashionable ladies that inspire, me so I've turned it in to 'Monday Muses'.

This week's Muse is Emma Stone. I first noticed Emma in 'Easy A' (great film) and then again in Crazy Stupid Love (three words - Ryan Gosling's chest). She appeared on the July cover of American Vogue and then the August cover of British Vogue - both really gorgeous images. Her style is young and quirky, always with a twist. She's the perfect combination of sexy and cute (you'll know what I'm on about if you've seen Crazy Stupid Love) - the perfect combo. What's not to like?!? New girl crush for the week.

My favs are the leather dress, the trench and jeans and the wide leg trousers. Totally want my hair the same colour as hers in last month's British Vogue too. What do you think?

A polished day look

In my last blog I included a pic from the April issue of Glamour. Initially it was the bed hair and hair colour which attracted me, but the make up is also super sexy in a very relaxed way so I thought I'd give it a whirl myself.

This is more make up than I would typically wear during the average day (especially if I'm working from home), but since I was heading to a new biz meeting I figured that the effort wouldn't go to waste.

Although the eye make up doesn't look overly heavy, I tend not to define eyebrows, wear eye make up, full base, blush, bronzer, lip liner and lipstick all at once during the day. It just feels a bit too 'done'. However, it does appear to come out good in the photos..... It turns out that I would also have to get up another 30mins earlier too! No time to show off my meeting ensemble - was too busy sprinting out the door.

Hair history

So, I've been thinking about changing my hair for sometime and a few months ago I dipped my toe (the little one!) in going a bit darker. This also made me think about what I've actually done to my hair over the years and following a bit if research it turns out I've not been very adventurous....... I present exhibit A. My hair from 2005 to now.......

 

Over the years I've clearly gone through different shades of blonde and experimented with a side fringe from time to time (I'm a real risk taker!). However, ironically, I'm now trying to get back to the same colour hair that I had back in 2005.

What does your hair history say about you?
