Post Break Up Makeover - Getting My Hair Done

It usually happens around this time of year anyway but feeling a little blue after my break up i decided to spoil myself and get my hair done. My hairdresser started doing extensions a couple of years ago and due to my thin and fine hair i am always desperate for a bit of thickness and length!

This time i went for a new application process, a mix of a weft of hair and micro rings. Feels much gentler on my hair - there is no heat/glue bonding, weaving or plaiting so my scalp feels no strain. Colour match was really close and they blend so naturally. I will probably have them in until after Christmas and then take them out for a break.

Have started taking Viviscal, since reading about it in Glamour. Apparently the models take it to keep their hair long and healthy! Hopefully this keeps my hair in good condition for when i get them taken out. And I'm always using Moroccan Hair Oil (light) to nourish and moisturise both my real and fake hair.

Anyone else as hair obsessed as me? I'd like to think its a 'fine hair' thing.... either that or i am just high maintenence hee hee!

So Good I Went Twice....

So you break up with your boyfriend of  5 and a half years and you probably  do something with your hair. or spend an extortionate amount of money, or go on a crazy holiday right? Erm yeah? All three actually!

My bank balance is now crying everyday but it was such a worthwhile holiday. Space away from home, cocktails, shopping, overly forward American men.... Here are a few pictures from my holiday to my favourite city in the whole world (sorry London!)

Have you ever been to NYC? Did you love it? Any recommendations, I know I will go again and again!

Zara Sale Purchase

I have to say that if you love Zara and you live in London then you must visit the Knightsbridge store. I went in on Friday and it was the first day of Sale. Don't get me wrong it was manic but the newly refurbished store looked amazing and all the sale was tidy and colour co-ordinated. A shoppers dream.

I am on a budget now whilst i try to save some money but have wanted this dress for ages! It was orginally £45.99 but in the Sale went down to £29.99. I can't wait to wear it when the sun is shining with some cute heels for a night out or some sandals for a boho vibe!

Topshop Sale - Bargain Buy

£34 down to £15. What can i say? I am a sucker for a good skirt and think this will work both in spring/summer and in autumn with tights. The cut is super cute. A bargain i think....Have you bought any sale bargains?

Shop the Topshop Sale here.

Blue, Black & Gold

Found this dress lurking in my wardrobe and thought it was too cute not to wear. Perfect for the unpredictable UK weather. Accessorized with black and gold accessories from Topshop which i thought would compliment the blue nicely.

The dress is quite old but is from Fever - they have a boutique near my office and i remember spotting this in the window and thinking it was a must have. If you like vintage/classic inspired pieces then check out their website here.

My Sandals, Belt and Necklace are all from Topshop. The belt and the necklace may still be in store but the sandals are from last year. I am so glad i bought them as they go with so many outfits and are super comfy!

Hotel - Chic & Basic Ramblas

When i went on holiday in Europe back in March, my favourite city that we visited was Barcelona. If you have always fancied a weekend/short stay visit then you need to check out THIS hotel! Out of all our hotels we stayed at during the holiday this was by far my favourite! So kitch and arty! Located just at the bottom of Las Ramblas (close to the port, beach, shops and restaurants!) this was a perfect place for city travellers to stay!

 

The car in reception is so adorable! And who else can say that a car was in their hotel reception?!

Our hotel room door - so cool! All rooms have a different 1960s influence.

 

The cutest city guide that you find by your bed! Suggestions and helpful tips!

And possibly the most amazing toiletries i have ever come across - the words make you smile and you can't say that always happens when you check out your hotel bathroom!

This is a budget hotel - the rates and city tax we paid were the cheapest out of our holiday but the effort they make considering this is top class in my opinion. It was a shame this was our first stop as no where else compared. There was a hotel bar that served the most delicious breakfast spreads - but if you don't want to pay an additional charge you can find somewhere else easily near by. The beds were comfy which was a treat after a day of sighseeing. The rooms were spacious but not overly furnished - perfect for those trips when you only spend time in your room to recharge your batteries before heading out again.

If you ever visit Barcelona and need some inspiration on where to stay (and are on a budget!) then this is the place for you! I cannot wait to go back - because i will! 100% - and i don't say that about many places! 

Have any of you got any Barcelona suggestions for my next visit?

Lost Society - Clapham, London

So a couple of weeks ago the boys were away for the weekend and us girls decided to have a night out of our own. The gorgeous Tattytulip picked Lost Society in Clapham so off we went for posh cocktails and dinner.

 

Tatty Tulip and I enjoying a good drink....

 

 

Posing by the faux fireplace as you do....

My dress was a Sample from work, and i wore my new Gwenda heels!

 The food was all posh and arty but tasted amazing. That pansy petal was edible too!

 Then after we were stuffed full we headed to a club nearby and hit the dancefloor! 

(always room for shots hehe)
