Lavender































I have come to realise that my wardrobe generally consists of the same few pieces of clothing worn over and over again. An oversized black t-shirt, loose black high-waisted shorts and black platforms sandals. Occasionally I'll throw on a black dressing gown or a kimono, but generally that's about as exciting as it gets.
Sometimes I find myself opening my wardrobe door and just standing there sighing at the contents.I guess it's a similar feeling you get when you repeatedly walk to the fridge and mindlessly stand there expecting to find something other than the empty jar of piccalilli and mouldy cheese (I should really go food shopping)... The sea of black and grey I'm confronted with every morning can be slightly depressing, but at the same time getting dressed in the morning has never been so easy. Plus I'm still wearing items I bought about seven years ago... 
I think this lack of colour in my wardrobe has had an effect on my hair however... I cant wait to try a red and orange effect- not sure resembling a flame will be a particularly good look, but I'm excited anyway!

Friday!

I have exciting news! So, a couple of weeks ago I finally handed in all my work and after four years spent at uni, I am officially no longer a student (and also officially unemployed), yyeeyy..
That doesn't actually sound very exciting..
I did however find out a couple of days later that my final collection was one of the fourteen chosen to catwalk at London Graduate Fashion week! Sooo I'm back at uni for another two weeks finishing off a few pieces and getting everything organised for the day ---4th of June by the way--- As much as I was dreading the idea of leaving uni, being back in the sewing room whilst my friends are gallivanting around the country enjoying their new-found freedom has been slightly depressing, so I thought colouring my hair would (maybe) brighten my day a tiny bit... It's kinda working. 
The best thing about using chalk to colour your hair is the fact it only lasts up until you wash it out, which is perfect seeing as I get bored with my hair so easily.
I just used your average pack of art chalk pastels to shade my fringe as I find it works just as well as fancy hair chalk, and I already had some hanging around my room, pluusss it's really easy to mix multiple colours together :)
For now I leave you with a few photos of my new pink fringe!
Happy Friday!
