Style Inspiration

Hey lovelies, I don't really talk about my inspirations very often but these are a few of my favourites. I'm not a huge celebrity fan, they're normal folk like the rest of us, just with more money and press. This doesn't mean I don't appreciate the way they dress. 

I think Lauren Conrad is an amazing fashionista. She runs one of the best beauty and lifestyle blogs/websites out there and has impeccable taste. In the past I did watch some of the series 'The Hills', the story wasn't really what caught me, rather the way she styled herself. Lauren rocks a chic casual look and her hair is always looks so effortlessly stylish. 

Faves from Lauren: Leather jackets, floaty short dresses, pleather pants, beach wavy hair and minimaL accessorizing.

The Olsen Twins were probably my least favourite celebrities as a child, they annoyed me in movies and TV shows but as a late teen I came to appreciate their flair for fashion. Fellow shorties, they make couture fashion look amazing, defying that 6ft model standard. The casual clothing they wear is probably very very expensive but looks like a perfectly presented outfit picked out from the high street. 

Faves from the Olsen Twins: High-heel boots, petite clothing, wavy hair, monochrome look, baggy cardigans and big sunglasses.

I'll likely do more posts like this soon as I did have fun!

Recently I got my hair cut, I don't do this frequently (once or twice a year, embarrassing to admit). I wanted to have something cute to compliment my heart shaped face, straight and long with no layers does little justice to such a full face.

This is what I wanted and got of course, a full fringe with layers and feathering around the face. Apologies about the poor picture quality. Usually I struggle to find a cut that works with my very fine hair and basic brown hair colour. I was tempted to get highlights put in but it wasn't within my budget and I think a stylish cut can do plenty. 

So I was looking into some playful styles I could do with this type of cut. 

1. My idol Zooey Deschanel is hilarious and has gorgeous hair! I think with a little volumiser and some imagination I could pull off her hair style.

2. Lea Michele's Bangs & Updo is so elegant and classy. I love how it works with her face-shape.

I hadn't realised how versatile having a fringe/bangs and classic brunette hair could be but there are some lovely glamorous ladies out there that rock this look so I'm going to try and be more adventurous with it too.
