Bowler

After a few weeks of mild temperatures, we're right back in the middle of winter again. Don't get me wrong, I loved the early spring feeling, but I'm quite glad I can get a bit more wear out of my knitwear now! I love this cropped cable knit jumper I got at New Look a while back, it's perfect with all my high waisted midi skirts. I wore it layered over a floral dress this time, and I quite like the result! It feels quite british for some reason. It might be the bowler hat, haha! I've just spent some time giving myself my very first "professional" manicure. By professional manicure I mean I did a fancy ass nailpolish job instead of just painting them in one solid color. I followed one of those space nail tutorials I found on youtube, which was really surprisingly easy and it looks GREAT even if you mess it up. I messed it up slightly by dabbing on too much of the lighter color, so it doesn't REALLY look like outer space, but it still looks neat! I'll show you my nails tomorrow, and I might do a step by step tutorial myself :) It really is super easy. If I can do it anyone can, because I'm really an amateur at the whole beauty game.

I just wrote another article for EIU on transitional winter-spring dressing, read it here and let me know what you think! It isn't the greatest piece I've written, but it does contain quite a few practical tips. I always love fashion from a practical point of view: I'm not really into trends or designers, but I love the fun aspect of it, being inspired by a certain feel, and translating it into practical day to day wear.

Seeing these pics made me realize I REALLY need a haircut. I'm calling for an appointment tomorrow. I'm still going back and forth in my mind about getting an ombre dye job on my ends to get an Alexa Chung-esque hairdo. What do you think? Will it suit my style, or am I better of with this solid color hair I have now? Once I bleach my hair, I'll have to grow it out to get my real haircolor again. And I'd like it not to look TOO artificial. Some lighter bits here and there, but not a REAL drastic difference in color. This looks perfect:

The range of color in these pics is perfect, not too light and somewhere inbetween a natural, sunfaded look and obvious bleached ends. Should I go for it?
