Now Voyager; hair lust

25th August 2011

I’m not a huge hair accessories fan, don’t get me wrong, they look amazing on other people…just not on my unruly mop,
however when a press release for Now Voyager dropped in my inbox I realised I should possibly have a re-think and these are just beyond awesome.

Now, Voyager are the Sister design duo who believes that every lady deserves to be a Pin up.
With different influences, Felicity and Jess both work together for the same goal of creating beautiful
and unique pieces that enhance the wearers style and confidence.

Pulling inspirations from a variety of eras and different objects, Now, Voyager aims to produce Hair accessories with a difference. As well as each item being home-made, the accessories are designed to sit comfortable and perfectly with any style or texture of hair, showing that Now, Voyager can be for every girl.

Now, Voyager is stocked in a variety of stores in London, Glasgow, Essex and Japan and can be bought from US websites as well as their own…www.now-voyager.co.uk

A massive breakaway from my usual style; but sometimes change is good, right?

Yeah, I’d say it’s time for a change…now…get me that bird!

Friday Friday Friday

15th July 2011

Double joy for it being the end of another working week for me. Four and a half hour shift this morning then I am officially on holiday for a week! I’ve decided against making plans, what I am really craving is some peace, quiet and relaxation. I have grand plans of experimenting with some baking, and playing with my new Slow Cooker (yeah, that’s how exciting my life is)…and of course, there will be the obligatory shopping trip in Bath to round off the week nicely.

As you can see, I still don’t have the hang of my camera settings, but this is what I wore for work yesterday. It was the most beautiful day so loose and cool was on the agenda. These trousers have become a staple of mine and the top is another of those hidden gems that I found lurking away.

Made the most of the weather by having a Birthday picnic tea in the park, as my Trudi turned 24. We’ve been on about a picnic for ages, so abandoned plans of cooking dinner together for lazing in the sunshine and setting the world to rights.
We could have done without the drama of a car being on fire at the top of my road as we made a move home…it was actually really scary. I am terrified of fire! Thankfully the passengers got out safely!

Just a couple of silly pictures to round off with. I am so in love with my vibrant hair colour at the moment; although my white pillow cases beg to differ! I hope the weather holds till later as I have plans with the gorgeous Becca. My two best friends in quick succession? I love life.

Happy Friday all

A Shade Braver

13th July 2011

I’m fully fledged red head once more! After a chat with the stylist we decided to go a shade darker than last time, as the colour has less copper in it, meaning as it fades I shouldn’t go as orange! Win. Ever since I first went red (not that long ago) I decided I had finally found the colour for me. Something about the rich, vibrant hue brings about a new sense of confidence. One cannot be shy and retiring with hair this shade.

Not the most flattering of photos, but hey…it’s early!

Teamed with bold colours galore. Making the most of an unusual late start to the working day so I can take a trip to a long awaited appointment.

What hair colour do you feel most comfortable with? Has having a change affected your attitude/personality?

To those who have expressed concern for my well-being, I’m fine. Temporary blip which I’m working my ass off to correct.

Taboo

06th July 2011

Yesterday the weather looked SO promising. Promising enough to make me abandon tights and brave the somewhat taboo socks with sandals look.

Sadly, the weather didn’t last and by 10am we had dark skies and pouring rain, but it was fun whilst it lasted and my planned garden lazing day turned in to an impromptu hair trim (at great expense) and I’m booked in to have the colour re-done next Tuesday (at even greater expense).

Other day off adventures (well, I gotta make it sound a little exciting) involved popping round to see how my Nan is settling in at home. Hard to believe it’s been less than a week since she had her new hip! Wonder woman. I want to be like her when I grow up! I also got to see my cousin (hi Sophie) for a long, long overdue catch up!

The next couple of days are going to draaaag. Back at the over time at work…why can’t I have next week off instead?

Out of interest, how much does your hair cut cost you? For a standard wash and trim, and also for anything extra?
