You Caught Me, Guilty, Taking The Pieces Of You... That Night, You Took Flight, I Couldn't Decide What To Do...

This is possibly the most rushed post i've ever done, but I was in the middle of reading for an essay when I remembered it'd been a few weeks since i'd managed to post anything.
I was in a very distractable mood anyway so I stopped for a break and took these pics...

And cos people keep e-mailing me about my hair and how I style my braids i've tried to write a little how-to tutorial for the weird bun things I have on my head today...

1. Split braids into 2 sections- a front one and a back one, so that they fall both over your face and down your back. The front section should be slightly smaller than the back section...
2. Do a large but loose plait with the front section
3. Wrap it once around in a sideways-leaning bun so that the large braid you have just plaited falls to the back of your head and you have a quiff type shape at the front that sits a few inches above your eyebrows
4. Tie a scarf tightly around the middle section of your head, securing the front bun. Fasten the scarf as desired
5. Use all the braids to twist another bun at the back of your head just behind thescarf and tuck the end into the scarf to secure it's position
6. Voilà!!

And todays 1menaturally earrings were-

Think they're corduroy but i'm not sure, these one's are my faves atm. 

• Headscarf- The Shop (Off Brick Lane)
• Top- Vintage (Oldham St, Manchester)
• Black denim shorts- Topshop

Confidence Is A Preference For The Habitual Voyeur Of What Is Known As Parklife...

Hey, so this is the second pair of earrings from 1menaturally...

Me 'n Sem did a little shoot in the park across the road from my house. I  look a little more screw faced than usual but that's mainly because it was so sunny- for once...

The light messed up these pictures but I think they actually look good with these effects...

• Top- Forever 21
• Florals Trousers- Thrifted
• Shirt- Cow Vintage
• Earrings- 1menaturally 
• Shoes- Forever 21

Gotta dash, the internet's not working at home so me and my friend are squatting in the library at my uni right now. Grim.

Remember your blog links if you comment- i'll get round to everyone eventually...

Toodles to you bitches xx

Happy St. Patrick's Day!!

I'm gonna suffer through a whole pint of nasty-ass Guiness later to celebrate!

So a few days ago I mentioned there'd be more on the earrings from my disastrous studio shoot... 

The earrings are from the Etsy shop 1MeNaturally and I was lucky enough to receive 4 pairs.

 As many of you who have blogs will know, sometimes people offer to send you stuff and you're just not feelin' it cos the designs are kinda on the lame side or simply don't fit your personal style. But I really love these earrings, they're all very big and bold with really nice prints so if you're into your accessories, check it out. 

I still haven't had my ears re-pierced so mine are all clip-ons.

Over time i'll feature all 4 pairs but today i'm starting with these gorgeous floral ones...

My beloved '90s Hammer pants...

Lots of hand-on-hip-closed-eyes action today, don't know what got into me, ha...

• Top- Forever 21
• Trousers- Cow Vintage, I think
• Shorts- Ebay
• Shoes- Vintage, from a friend
• Earrings-  http://www.etsy.com/shop/1menaturally

• Cheeks- Nars blush in Taj Mahal
• Lips- Illamasque lipstick in Blaze

What d'you think?? When my student loan drops i'm definitely gonna buy some more of these earrings- I'm always neglecting the accessories side of things. You can also have a browse of the facebook page here if you like.

In unrelated news, I was doing my weekly re-shave of the shaved bits of my hair earlier and accidentally snipped one of my braids off at the back. To make it even I had to shave a couple of my other back braids off too so i'm now working this weird undercut, ha!

Toodles to you bitches xx
