Gingham Style

Okay so the attempt of my hair being dyed silver.. Okay it went yellow. The silver wasn't dark enough to stick to my hair :-( I'm getting it done again on Monday with darker silver, although I've received quite a few compliments and my friends are telling me to stay this colour, argh?! I really don't know what to do.

I bought these gingham pants from Matalan last week, their size 8 are very generous because they're huge on me! Also I love my new choker from eBay, it's got a cute half moon on it, i'm a choker addict now i've ordered about 3 off eBay! Sorry this is a really quick and short post, i'm kind of rushing. But i'm starting to use tumblr a lot more now so if you ask questions i'll happily answer them :-): pretty-lilac.tumblr.com!

Overalls

Today so far is really sunny, i'm so surprised because usually it's raining, typical England. I woke up this morning and the weather was so warm so I decided to wear my denim overalls from Topshop. I paired them with my black croptop from Topshop, and my white converse. I'm so nervous in half an hour i'm getting my hair dyed silver! My hairdressers coming to my house, she's bleaching my hair then she's dying it! I'm so scared because I've never dyed my hair before so this is new to me! I'm so excited to see what it's going to turn out like, I love silver hair at the moment because it's in fashion, after seeing tons of models throughout my tumblr dashboard I decided that I wanted it doing!

I'm so excited for summer, I need to buy tons of new summer clothes, i'm currently browsing Topshop and also have about another 3 tabs open which are mainly clothes shops, I think i'm a shopaholic. P.s sorry for looking extremely pale on these photo's!

Chanel Lips

 Sorry for the lack of boringness in my outfit, and the really crappy background of my room, this was a shot after I just got in from college and I have no where else to take photographs, apart from my room:( I'm hoping to get my room all decorated, although I only last got it done about 1 year ago, never mind  I'm hoping to find some brick print wall paper and a large clothes rail instead of my wardrobes, this is all inspired by lulutrixabelle! I love her bedroom so much although I could never get mine as good as hers because mines so small! Although I do have a huge cut out in my wall where my TV goes and other bits and bobs and shelves.

Anyway, in this photograph i'm wearing my new Chanel lipstick! Yay! I love it, it almost lasts me a full day of college! Wow! I'm now on the hunt for white nail varnish. I seen a pretty one from O.P.I but it's a little bit on the pricey side, oh and i'm also hunting for palm prints! I'm in love, and oh i'm also dying my hair silver this week! Yay for me, i'm currently a virgin to hair dye right now as i've never dyed my hair, good luck with me on this one.

Coachella & Silver Hair

Polyvore is my new favourite thing lately, I love it. Putting outfits together has always been something I've loved to do, so when I discovered Polyvore a couple of years ago, I was so happy! I wish I was at Coachella so so bad, it looks perfect. The fact that it's in a hot place makes thing worse because you can wear pretty summer clothes. Here's two outfits I put together, I love them both so much and these would probably be something similar to what i'd wear if I attended a similar type festival. I've seen photographs of people like Vanessa Hudgens who looks perfect and her outfits I also envy!

I've been getting bored with my hair lately and i've never dyed it before. I've decided i'm going to dye it silver! Silver is such a pretty colour and I need a change to my hair, i'll obviously have to bleach it then dye it but i'm sure it will be worth it. I love changes to my hair, until I get sick of them and i'm sad until I get my hair back again aha. Oh well, i've wanted silver hair for a while and it's a hairstyle what isn't really popular with tons of girls changing their hair colour to it is it? Ah i'm excited!

New York

First of all, i'm extremely sorry for not posting in a long long while! Everything was so overwhelming trying to get all my clothes sorted for New York and college and stuff. Second of all, sorry for the such heavy photo post!! Although I love every single one of these images, as I took over 600 in New York so I had to shorten them down!

About 2 weeks ago I went to New York City. Oh my god it was probably the most amazing experience ever! The sightseeing was actually spectacular! I would love to visit again, I can now tick that off my bucket list!

Throughout the holiday (I went for 3 full days, Saturday-Thursday, 2 days were mainly travelling) we visited Grand Central Station, Central Park, Museum of Natural History, Statue of Liberty (the skyline is amazing), 9/11 Memorial, Empire State Building, Rockefeller Center, Shopping in Soho, 5th Avenue and Times Square. Although our hostel was 1 bock away from Times square, literally walk out of the hostel walk around the corner and wow!! In our free time late evening we just went shopping around Times Square.

I spent over $300 on makeup! Argh seriously I barely even wear it, including lipstick from Chanel!! I found that when we got time given to shop (I went with college), it was hard to look around in about 2 hours when we got to a location we would have free time. It was hard to find the good shops because we didn't know our way round so we just randomly walked places hoping we would find good shops. In soho, I found an American Apparel, I was so tempted to buy so much more stuff but I had to stop myself! I bought the Jersey T-Shirt Romper in Grey and the Corduroy Circle Skirt in Black! I love the Romper but I found it a little bit short and tight, maybe I should have purchased the size up because I find unless i'm on holiday or it's really really hot, i'll have to wear tights, but I'm still in love with it! The Corduroy skirt is perfect, it's like a total new edition to the skater skirt, I love it, it will definitely be a staple piece for my Spring/Summer wardrobe!! I also spent tons of dollars on Benefit makeup, I love it so much I have a new addiction, oh and I also bought some MAC foundation, which is really good, it makes me look really natural and light!

I hope I visit New York again, I took some unbelievable photographs (using Nikon D3100) which I am very very proud of! Sorry for the post overload but it had to be done!

Black & Blue

Yesterday was the coldest day ever. I went on a school trip with my Photography class, to Durham and South Shields, the weather was awful. All day I wanted to take photographs but at the same time I wanted to protect my camera, it's my baby aha. I wore my Levi denim jacket, with my black riding pants, I wore a big granny cardigan underneath my jacket to keep my warm but it didn't really do the job. I also wore my cutout boots, they weren't exactly keeping me warm or protecting me from the mud but at least they looked nice!

I go to New York next Saturday! I'm so so excited I can't wait to take tons of pictures and eat tons of American food. I'll come back twice as big as I left. I especially can't wait to go shopping, see the Statue of Liberty and visit the Empire State Building! Ah, it's all so exciting, i'm also excited to fly too because I love flying!! Watch out for my New York post in the next couple of weeks :-).
