The Challenge - Day 18

Today was my last day of work for the rest of the week, so I actually went in reasonably smart today (non-Collectif workplace).

I'm wearing Next trousers (a workplace staple), an old cardigan (I can't help but got for this one), a H&M strappy top and my Collectif Bird Blouse, its pretty see-through, so not something I could realistically wear without anything over the top. The waistbelt actually came with some really old top I once bought somewhere, quite some time ago.

As I'm off tomorrow and its my birthday on Thursday, the manflesh is taking me to TGI's (we're addicted), so I may have to break out one of the more fancy things I own, to get them out of the way :)

Totally Addicted To Poof

After losing my video tutorial virginity yesterday, I had a brief scan through some of my pictures, as you do, and realised, I really am addicted to the poof. Most pictures feature me, with a poof. Therefore, I decided to just show you some quick pictures, call it "The Good, The Bad and the Poof". These photos span the last year or so, so there are some poofs that are more successful than others, some with obvious grips, and various hair colours, just to give an idea of what can be done.

Maybe I should give some other hairstyles a go :)

Quick Front Roll Tutorial - I Did It!

So I have finally managed to get over myself, and I have made a little video tutorial to create a quick front roll/poof/quiff, whatever you want to call it.

All you need is Dry Shampoo (if you have lanky hair like me, I like Batiste), hairspray, some grips, and if you're going for the second option I have given, something like a marker pen, mascara tube.

I will have to make some more videos, as this is quite the learning process, enjoy x

The Challenge - Day 17

Only a really quick outfit post for day 17. I've spent the majority of today trying to get over myself to get this video tutorial sorted, I've only just finished editing it, so its finalising at the moment, I'm really nervous about uploading it!

So, I have spent all day at home, so getting dolled up isn't my first priority, plus it's my birthday week, so its all about chilling and minimum work :)

Just a cheapy Primark checked shirt (which I love), and some baggy jeans for me today. Don't worry, I'll be leaving the house tomorrow, so I'll be back to making an effort :)

The Challenge - Day 16

Today I took dressing inappropriately for the weather to a whole new level. Somehow, seeing a glimpse of sunshine convinced me, that tights were utterly unnecessary today. Rookie mistake. Never have I had such chilly knees, all bloody day.

I'm wearing the Dolores Cherry Stem dress from Collectif, with a previously utilised cardigan, though I went for a tied at the waist look today, mainly because I couldn't find my red belt in the rush to get ready this morning. I've also avoided doing too much with my hair (as can clearly be seen), so I can finally get round to doing my quiff video tutorial tomorrow.

Must remember to wear tights!!!

The Challenge - Day 15

...quite the day off I have had, mainly in that, I didn't have the day of. I was rudely dragged out of bed to go to work after all, I was, and still am not best impressed, hence why todays look was created out of annoyance. For some reason, the picture came out a bit blurry, but to be honest, this is probably a good thing today.

Again, the 3/4s were originally skinny jeans from Primark, the vest is from Lucky 13, the man flesh brought it back for me from Rebellion Festival last year, and the cardigan was also previously worn on Day 1.

I still have so many random things to wear, I best get on it!

The Challenge - Day 14

As I will be going straight home from work, (in fairness via a supermarket), to get into my Pj's and getting my drink on for some pre-birthday shenanigans, a slightly earlier post. Unfortunately, this also means there is a lack of a full frontal picture, as with phone, and alone, at work, its very difficult to achieve. But here we go anyway:

The Road jeans I wore a few days ago, with my very ancient trainers I got in Montreal a small lifetime ago. They make my feet seem small, especially with the crazy sized jeans over the top, so I like them :)

I'm also not entirely myself today, managed to forget my liquid eye-liner at home today, epic failure on my part! The jacket/cardigan is from Miss Fortune, a Christmas present from the man-flesh (he does know me well), a grey shirt (dubbed the "Boobie Top) I got from a little shop in Byron Bay, Australia, yonks ago. Necklace is from the fabulous Tatty Devine (Christmas present from one of Man flesh's friends - I am a lucky girl).they are 100% likely to show up again before the end of the challenge!

So far the quiff has more or less survived, hair washing time tomorrow, and then I will brace myself and make my first video tutorial - of course about quiffs, so stay tuned!
