Guten Tag!!
You would not believe I washed my hair yesterday!! 
Whether it's my roots or this boiling weather ruining my hair - I'm not happy!! The problem is I don't like having my hair up because I have such chubby cheeks, and at the moment I am sweating like a sinner in church (in the words of Charlotte La Bouff) every time a little bit of heat hits me. My hair is meant purely for winter to keep me warm and not summer. If you just look at my hair in this photo you can see how flat and lifeless my hair is. I do want to try different products to help it but I am useless when it comes to beauty stuff, that’s why I go once a month to Benefit and they tell me what to do. 
Anyway on to a different subject...
This was me earlier today when I popped in to town to run some errands. My main errand was to pop in to Snappy Snaps and get some passport photos. Now you can chart my hair history by all the passport photos and general photos over the years, it's my own little hair history gallery! Another main mission of mine was to buy a statement necklace from H&M. The other day I watched a haul with Shirley from Meek~n~Mild which included a gold and silver collar from H&M; and as soon as I saw them I knew I wanted to get one but unfortunately my local H&M didn't have them. My second choice was to get their neon necklace but again I wasn't quite sure about it, so instead I purchased a simple gold interlinked necklace (again bad description) it is absolutely perfect and only £3.99!! I did also pop to the library as I haven't been in quite a long time; I borrowed two fashion books - Art Deco Fashion - Suzanne Lussier and The Fashion Handbook - Tim Jackson & David Shaw. A sucessful trip.
To the outfit...
I'm wearing two new items today. Firstly this top is something I wouldn't normally choose as it's quite bright; but a few months ago when I was in Cheltenham I was drawn to it in New Look. I like the baggy fit of it and the oatmeal base colour with the bright Aztec pattern, it is a size 18 as I do like it bigger but I don't think I could have had a smaller size. It is a really nice top but wearing it today I wasn't in love with it, so whether you see me wearing it again or whether it's going to the charity shop - we'll see I'll keep you posted. The next item is my lovely Spiked Shoes from Next. I always love looking through various blogs but one of my favourites is TheStylePlaylist. Courtney's style is insane and so amazing it makes me want to move to Arizona and live in shorts and kimonos. I love Courtney's shoe collection and when I saw her Unif Hellraisers I was instantly in love; but as I have big feet I thought buying the real deal wouldn't be an option so I started having a look around. I was randomly in Next one day with my Mum when I saw a pair of spiked flats and I was hooked. Now the ones that I've got are different to the ones I saw as my ones have spikes on the back as well. I'm in love with these shoes and for £30 I thought they were a bargain, compared to the prices you would pay elsewhere. My only advice is never wear them on a hot day as my poor feet sweated so much - it wasn't nice.
I've been updating my blog a lot this week which I'm happy with!!
I will be quiet tomorrow as naturally it's a Saturday and it's my traditional day at home; but no doubt I'll be back on Sunday for the week's playlist.
Time to relax...
