Suede









Stripy Tee - ASOS | Suede Skirt - Glamorous @ ASOS | Snake Print Boots - ASOS | Turban

Hey dolls, is it just me who only starts to realise they have an obsession with ASOS when you type out that every item of clothing in this outfit is from there... 

I know I promised I was coming back properly to blogging during my easter break from university but life yet again took over, and juggling a job, hosting a radio show, revision and spending time with the those I love always takes priority and I don't want to churn out some god awful outfit posts just for the sake of it. 

The plan is to make a full return to full time blogging mid-May once I finish university fully, and can hopefully rope my boyfriend into becoming my photographer whether he likes it or not. 

Hope you all had a wonderful Easter, filled with love and joy. I've had a great past few weeks.

Keep checking my Instagram for regular outfits and pictures, & you can also tune into my Fashion Radio Show on W!ZARD RADIO every Saturday night between 7pm and 8pm!

Love xxx

Bleach London Review








Bleach London Total Bleach & White Toner

Now if you follow me on Social Media, you'll already know about my thing with white blonde hair and my struggle to achieve it! Well my friends, I've found the solution. Bleach London started as an independent salon in London, dying hair a wide range of colours from Mermaid Green to Sassy Pink. Then the hair gods provided, and they launched their range in Boots. I was meant to try Bleach London about a month ago, when my student loan came in, but low and behold, they had sold out, sod's law. So I waited and waited, then got bored and tried other dyes which failed to get the whitest I truly desired. Then the hair gods provided again and both the products I need came back in stock.

I bought Bleach London Total Bleach & White Toner, the bleach to remove the colour from my hair and take it way back to its lightest colour. Now when you bleach your hair, it goes yellow as your hair is naturally yellow when stripped back. So I needed the White Toner to get rid of the icky yellow tones and get my perfect Ice Blonde look I'd been looking for. Now these products are expensive, £7 a pop which if you've got long/thick hair can get costly, but its so worth it. No other product has managed this like these have. They also come with Reincarnation Masks to help bring your hair back to life but I do have to say, this bleach has been the kindest on my hair out of all bleach I've used. Now I'm not a beauty blogger so I'm not going to blog about the process, I just wanted to show my love and the before and after effects of these products. 

If you too, can't get enough of the white, I'd recommend this to the grave. Strong 9/10, just a tad expensive.

The Tin Man









Grey Long Sleeved Tee - Noisy May @ ASOS | Silver Trousers - H&M | Platforms - ASOS 

So I have white hair guys! I finally gave in and purchased the Bleach London Bleach Kit and White Toner and oh my life that stuff is a dream. Totally made my hair the whitest its ever been and it doesn't even feel that bad, hallelujah! I'm so in love with my hair now, white hair is all I've wanted for so long, I sit on Instagram daily lusting over white haired babes and now, hopefully I am one now!

So to match my white/silvery locks, I pulled on my favourite all grey ensemble to compliment my hair, those trousers are so comfy yet so snazzy, defiantly fancy pants! I then topped off the whole look with my new platforms from ASOS, which I'm hoping are good lookalikes for the Stella McCarthney leather versions, which I will lust over and will sadly never own sigh. But these £13 babies will satisfy me for now.

How beautiful is this backdrop for this look, I think blue compliments grey and white perfectly so I spied the chance to use it today.

What do you think of my hair change guys, like or loathe?

Into The Blue










Sweatshirt - H&M | Midi Skirt - Primark | Boots - Debenhams 

This week I'm going to attempt to blog every outfit I wear every day. As today is Monday, but I haven't got a lot on, I decided to throw something smart yet slightly casual on so I don't slip into spending the whole day lying in bed. 

I've been looking for a lace midi skirt all my life and although I thought I'd found the one in H&M, it was all white & showed my underwear. Then the shopping gods blessed me & sent this £5 sale steal from Primark my way. I don't wear a lot of blue, but as my hair gradually gets whiter and whiter, I feel a suit blue tones a lot more. As I don't do things by halves, I decided to go all out and all blue by pairing it with this win of a sweatshirt from H&M. I've been eyeing many a slogan sweatshirt up on ASOS for a long time but couldn't justify the prices as I usually buy casual jumpers then realize they don't suit me due to their bagginess and my wide hips. This one from H&M isn't too oversized that it looks ridiculous, but still has the 90's look I've been searching for. 

You may also be able to tell my hair is a lot whiter and ashier than previous posts. I'm aiming to achieve full white hair by the end of the year, I constantly lust over white hair pictures so I'm glad I'm finally getting there and I think ashy hair tones are perfect for this time of year.

Mellow Monday #6


Hey guys, so another week begins and it's a week closer to me moving back to Lancaster to start my third year. I'm actually going to do a post all about me as I feel a little background of who I am will be nice for you guys to read, and then know more about me!

So this week's Mellow Monday thoughts:

- Slowly but surely, I'm turning my hair white with the kind help of silver shampoo and 2 hour conditioning session. I love white hair, it looks so classic and amazing and I'm constantly looking for girls with white hair on instagram.

- My baby sister starts her university course today & I can't even say how proud of her I am, for moving away from home and doing it on her own. Some people disregard moving to uni as easy but it's not, I know and she continues to inspire me everyday to be better.

- I made my first ever chocolate cake for my Mama's birthday yesterday. I'm not domesticated, I'm good at cleaning but that's really it so was so happy when it turned out well & she was so happy and shocked by my efforts!

- I'm getting excited to move back to my uni house and have a massive redecorate, I'm thinking very minimal with lots of glass and prints. When it's done, I'm thinking of doing a post about my uni room so let me know if you guys would like that?

- Lastly, another week has passed & with every week that goes by, I feel stronger and better. Looking back, I'm glad what happened happened, it made me realise who I am & that I don't someone to validate me & make me feel whole. I happy alone at the moment, & have wonderful friends & family supporting me whenever I need reassurance.

Undercut Inspiration



I pieced together some images I used to decide whether or not to shave an undercut into my hair. Spoiler, I did. 

What do you think of undercuts?

Mellow Monday #2

So here we are again, it's Monday, albeit a Bank Holiday in the UK which softens the blow a little bit. Yet again, I'm still my usual emotional self but glad that last week is over and done. Onwards and upwards!

 Five happy things that are occuring at the moment:

- I finished my resits last week (hurrah) which means not only can I chill out before I go back to university, I can also focus fully on blogging! 

- I run my first ever 10k in just under 2 weeks and although I'm terrified, I'm super excited to run a proper race along side so many others
- I get hair boredom nearly everyday so am currently deciding whether to get an undercut shaved into my hair, exactly what Ellie has here! Let me know what your thoughts, I only have one more year left to rebel at uni before I have to 'calm down' so it seems as perfect time as any!
- On Saturday, I fly out to Jersey to my two girlfriends to stay with my other girlfriend on holiday! I haven't managed a proper holiday this summer so I'm really looking forward to getting away from real life and spending time with my favourites.
- Lastly, I'm quite glad the weather has gone a bit miserable as I can fully embrace the best trend of Autumn/Winter, Normcore! The most simple, yet effective trend, as a girl who loves a pair of jeans, this trend is basically me reincarnated.

Happy Monday guys :-)
