Asda George (old), Tesco tights, New Look.
I love this dress, one of the redeeming factors of this chillier weather is the need for slightly longer sleeves. I remember hating the scarf print trend when it first emerged but the second I clamed eyes on this Asda gem I was converted. Of course, this trend has now long departed but this dress will be round for quite some time.
And these boots,
much coveted when they came out last year and snapped up for a mere £7 in one of New Look’s many sales; that’s shopping karma folk!
Thank you for all the lovely comments on my hair. When I had it cut I also had a lot of the bulk taken out…I have been cursed/blessed with exceptionally thick hair which is my main barrier to style. It means that FINALLY I have hair that I can wash and leave to try naturally, all I’ve been doing is spritzing it with this Studio Line Matt & Messy Salt Spray and I’m done. I picked mine up in Superdrug for a mere £1.49, but even at full price (£2.99) it’s a bargain and it smells gorgeous to boot.
Eventually my hair that dries outwards will return, but only if I keep putting off that trim! It’s nice to have the option of not straightening it yet not having to tie it up to hide the evidence.
What trends have you converted to?
What miracle hair products do you swear by?
Hello, my name is Laura and I am a hair procrastinator. On average it takes me a good six months to decide I actually need a hair cut and then a further six to get round to booking an appointment, by which time my hair is unmanageable and half way down my back. I have several issues in getting myself motivated and I am wondering if I am alone in this or if others share my woes…
My number one problem is deciding where to go. With such a wide array of hairdressers in Bristol and none that I am especially loyal to. How am I supposed to know which ones are reputable and which ones just want to rip me off? Please also remember I live in the back and beyond, where salons are divided equally between “purple rinse special” catering to the over 70s and the “wannabe city salon” where prices are high and quality is low.
Next on my list of worries is decision making. How does anyone commit themselves to a style? Before my latest haircut (which I do actually love) I must have run through over a dozen styles, declaring them all “the one”. How did I decide on what I ended up with? I stupidly let the hairdresser decide and thankfully it turned out just fine!
Linked closely with this is trust. How many times have I heard the words “yes I know how much an inch is” only to leave a salon minus half a head? Sometimes it seems like booking what should be a simple trim is some kind of punishment!
Oh, and the small talk. That endless small talk. I can chat until the cows come home, really, I can, but sometimes I’m not in the mood to talk and being forced to explain for the hundredth time that no, I really don’t have a social life/exotic holiday/amazingly hot boyfriend puts me off. Oh, and those lectures about the state of my hair/roots/lack of know-how!
I’m making it sound all doom and gloom, and I promise I’m not always this awkward. When I get down to it I do generally enjoy the experience of having a hair cut and advances in salon software tend to make it much more pleasing,
I’m not brilliant at having people in my personal space so I tend to focus on all my above negatives and forget about the nice parts; the head massage, the trashy magazines and the on tap tea and coffee! The most recent salon I visited in my hometown (Arcadia in Nailsea) has gone some way to get me over my hairdresser phobia, they couldn’t have been nicer, or done a better job for a very affordable price…
I’m due a trim in three weeks; who wants to place bets on how long it takes me to book?
What are you like about hair appointments? A routine patron or repeat procrastinator? Want to give a shout-out to your favourite salon/product/generally rant and rave? I’d love to hear it!

This outfit is what I wore Saturday, the last of the decent weather I suspect for quite some time. Watching twitter, there seems to be a mixed reaction, mainly “it’s England, of course it’s raining”; I see that point, really I do…but local flooding and massive downpours aint the norm!
Dress c/o Miss Ikon, New Look tights and Georgia Rose boots c/o Sarenza.
I’ve gone from waxing lyrical over how happy I am to see Autumn and getting to snuggle up in knits and scarves whilst frolicking through leaves to kicking myself for even thinking that…let’s rewind to Summer now…
thanks.
I hope no-one has been too badly hit by any flooding. I hate to resent a season that is often so beautiful!
