Sweater Girl and Ombre Tips

Today I met up with my internship boss and some colleagues for my first ever brainstorm session slash professional meeting. It really is amazing to sit together with intelligent, inspiring people and work towards a mutual goal, i.e. a great result. If anything, my years at uni have taught me to have a real pride in what I do. Maybe it's just the fact that I have grown up, but I really enjoy delivering a good end result after laboring over it intensively.

I got this sweater at T2 at one of their previous sales and I just couldn't wait for the temperatures to drop enough for me to wear it with my vintage skirts! A proper (albeit modernized) sweater girl silhouette, coming right up :-)

sweater, skirt: T2 vintage

satchel, loafers: Zara

headband: H&M

ring: Alex Monroe

I have lightened my ends some more and blended in the ombre effect more to prepare for my pink ends! And if you want my advice: just do your ombre at home, it's easy as heck. Just divide your hair into sections, backcomb every section to have the color blend in with your natural color and mess about with the bleach!

I put a thick layer on some random ends first, after a few minutes I added some more around it and towards the end (I left the mix on for about 25-30 minutes) I kept slapping on more towards the roots, really randomly and messily. And it looks rad. Good tutorial here, but I did it by making eight ponytails in my hair and back combing + bleaching each one, and I didn't backcomb as much as in that vid, nor did I use foil.

And finally, a reminder for those who didn't read my blog yesterday: 

River Island is having another student night, and all you students are invited! This time there will be even more gift vouchers to win (one every 15 minutes rather than 2 every hour), a best outfit of the night will be picked (winner gets 250 euro worth of vouchers) and of course the entire collection will be available at 20% off! SO! Print out those flyers, bring your student ID and come on over to River Island on the 28th of september from 18:30 until 21:30! 
Extra treat: there will be free beauty advise from Kiehl's professionals!
