SS13 Preview - Floral Fantasy

Hello..

I don't know about you, but I am so excited about SS13 not just for the fashion which may I say is
B-E-A-utiful, I also have lots of exciting plans which means lots more blog posts! I'm going to IOW festival so will be making some festival essential posts and I am going on holiday to Turkey so will be doing what to pack on your summer hols, exciting stuff!

I will be doing a series of posts giving you an insight into what to expect this SS13 there is amazing things occurring in the fashion world and where better to get your information than right here? Are you ready??


I absolutely adore floral garments and they are popular almost every year for SS! Whether you're going to a festival, wedding or the beach florals are perfect for all ocassions! There are some outstanding items on the runway this year from the likes of Moschino, Holly Fulton and Oscar De La Renta.

For your highstreet fix on floral check out

Topshop

This Topshop Ombre dress is stunning and the sheer material keeps you covered up if you are in a hot country yet still keeps you cool. Also ombre style is staying with us through SS13 so you will be bang on trend.

Romwe

When I found this dress it was love at first sight. This beautiful ocean blue dress is so eye catching and looks like a piece of art! This would look great with some frilly ankle socks and some brouges.

Asos

Who said suits have to be masculine? This floral patterned suit from Asos adds a feminine twist in addition to the fitted blazer and skinny fit trousers, sophisticated and stylish! Also suits are making an appearance in SS13 so will have a blog about them soon, watch this space.

So there you have it, your floral fix! Look out for my next SS13 fix 'plain chequerd

More Lee Standford!

Hello!

It's been a while, I know, *slaps wrist*, but I have been a busy bee recently! I got a job! Praise the lord! I can finally fund my fashion obsession and pay for my car insurance and get my baby on the road (once I pass my test). I am the new employee at Coast to Coast Portsmouth. It's an American Diner with the most amazing food. Check it out here.

So, onto my actual post, and yes I am going to go on about Lee Stanford AGAIN! If you haven't seen my previous post about Lee Standford and ombre care, read it here. Boots still have a 3 for 2 offer, so instead of just buying the double blow hair mousse that I originally intended to purchase, I ended up buying two other products : Lee Stafford Sun Kissed Lightening Spray and the Lee Stafford Poker Straight Dehumidifier Spray.

The double blow mouse is really good if you have naturally curly or wavy hair. It defines each curl and is not sticky like many other mousses. For extra volume, after you have scrunched it through your freshly washed hair and blow dried, preferably with a hairdryer with a diffuser attachment, scrunch some more into the roots and blow dry again. Due to the non-sticky texture, you can apply it to dry hair and the extra root lift gives your hair that extra wild edge.

I am still on the fence about 'The Sun Kissed Lightening Spray'. You spray it onto the blonde in your hair after washed, whether that is highlights, ombre or all over, and brush it through. It is said to remove brassy tones within 2-3 uses but I haven't seen a dramatic change - or maybe only slightly. I will continue to use it though, and keep you posted. One more thing I noticed, is the smell. It smells like citron cleaning products, and is very strong. I personally am not a fan but if you just put another hair product on top, eg  mousse or salt spray then it masks the odour.

Finally 'Poker Straight Dehumidifier Spray'. It is perfect if you're one of those people who straightens your hair and it stays straight for five minutes, then starts to frizz. It keeps your hair perfectly straight and silky for a whole day! It is also good if you live in a hot country or are going away for the summer, as it also protects against frizz that is caused by heat. 

Go on and head down to you're nearest boots and give yourself a mid month treat. If you feeling extra naughty why don't you just order them now online here

Stay Fresh
