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.

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

Lee Stanford- Hair Products

Hello!

Those of you that do not know I have ombre hair. Ombre hair means light at the ends and gradually getting darker towards your roots. I have had ombre hair for about 3 months ish so as was expected it began to fade and get a more brassy tones.

 I decided to buy a shampoo and conditioner for beached blond hair. I had previously heard about Lee Stanford's bleach blond shampoo and conditioner but i thought £7 for a bottle of shampoo is quite a lot. However when I went to boots, they had 3 Lee Stanford products for £15 which basically meant if i got the shampoo and conditioner I could get something free, like all people the thought of getting something free is worth spending money on the other things.

I picked up the Lee Stanford Salt Spray as my third thing and it is amazing! I have naturally curly hair but when i straighten it, it looks really flat and doesn't really do much for me so i thought I would try the salt spray to get a more natural wavy look. It is soo nice, and it smells gorgeous! I have actually found myself swishing my hair just so I can get a waft of the spray. One fault to the spray is that it does make my hair really knotty. This isn't an issue as long as you wash it out the next morning.

I have noticed a dramatic change in the blond part of my hair since buying it so i recommend anyone with the slightest bit of blond in their hair goes and buy them. It says to use the shampoo only once a week but i use it twice but i guess it is up to you. They have a  3 for 2 offer on all professional hair products at the moment so that is basically the same as my deal, so why not treat yourself to a pre Christmas treat.
