Colour me up Baby !

Hello lovely ladies, today i have been to the hairdressers and had a colour put on my hair. As you might already know i coloured it a few weeks ago at home and while i did like it, i wanted it a bit brighter.
Luckily for me the hairdresser i have been going to recently is a friend of mine and so i felt in safe hands as I'm always a bit scared of having my hair done and then hating it lol.

So here's my new colour with a sweeping fringe added for good measure





I'm so pleased with the colour its just what i wanted.

While I'm on the subject of colour, i want to talk about my clothes or lack of them should i say. I was looking in my wardrobe for something to wear the other day and it suddenly hit me how 90 odd percent of my clothes are black???
How did this happen? I can't say that i really noticed it before but now I'm aware of how boring my clothes have become i am determined to do something about it.
So I'm only going to buy coloured items from now on until i force myself out of this rut.
This week I've brought 2 tops to start me off.


Orange boob tube from Next

Green silk vest top from New Look


Yes black is slimming but i am not depressed and I'm not in mourning so I'm giving myself a kick up the jacksee and injecting some colour back into my life.
Do you shy away from colour or do you love the brights?

  11. Your hair color looks perfect on you, so pretty! :) Honestly I am not such a black clothing lover, I mean there are a few essential black pieces every woman should own but I don't buy everything in black like I know some people do. I love color, no matter what the season is! :)

    My wardrobe seems to be full of mostly black clothes...with the occasional white or grey top! The Boy has got all Gok Wan on me and wants to inject some colour into my wardrobe...which believe me I do want that as well however I'm on spending ban clothes wise until I drop a dress size or two! :P

  18. This is what colour I want my hair!! I home dye it but the top part seems to be red (like yours) and then my actual hair. hair is like black ? my mum says its red in the sun, but surely it should be red all of the time? Very jealous of the new do!! I love the next top, it'll match illamasqua flare and gamma :D

  20. Your hair looks really fab! The colour definitely suits. Love the idea of challenging yourself to buy more coloured clothes, I always end up stuck in a rut with black and grey for my work clothes. x

  27. I LOVE that hair color on you.. I've been trying to achieve a similar color with at home hair dye but fail every time

  28. Thanks girls, i know there is no way i could of acheived this colour with a home hair colour. My hairdresser had to do a quick bleach bath to try and lift a little bit of colour out my hair first as it was so dark before mixing a few different reds together to get this colour.
    It seems to make my skin tone look warmer as well. I made sure i had no fake tan on before i went for my colour as i wanted to see how it looked against my natural colouring xx
