The Hair Chronicles

I am considering going back to my natural hair colour. If you know me, that is totally a bizarre thing for me to say! Since I turned 16 my hair has literally been every colour, tending to stick with the unnatural ones. As time has gone on, unfortunately with my chronic head pain dying my hair is becoming more and more of an issue. It is hugely uncomfortable for me as it adds pressure and involves my scalp/head being touched. I had my hair cut last week and I spent the rest of the day in agony because of the sectioning clips.

So, my natural colour. I haven't seen it in a long time! My roots come through a dirty blonde, so I am swaying towards a dirty blonde, maybe with lighter ombre ends so it's a bit more interesting for me. Then, in theory, I should be able to grow my hair out with much less obvious roots than I get now. I'm currently mostly pinning new hair ideas to my pinterest so if you have it let me know!

I figured I'd do a blog of some of my favourite hair looks I've had in recent years!

Blue, with green and purple slices

Pink

Orange

Brown with grey ombre

Candy floss Pink

Different shades of pink on each side

Pink, with paler pink (also, how amazing is my Breakfast Club jumper?)

Pale pink (I look so weird with straightened hair)

Half pink, half purple, from that time I got to meet Patrick Stewart

Blue with green, purple, orange and yellow slices

Reeeally long roots with purple

Pale pink on top with a blue section underneath

Pink on one side, purple on the other, blue underneath

Purple one side on top, turquoise everywhere else (my most recent)

The only problem I have now really is that the turquoise stained my hair! So I'm hoping to be able to have a colour correction at school for one of the girls who needs it for an assessment (I go to hairdressing school) and then be able to take it from there!

Much love,

Trick or Treat

Now this, this is a favourite outfit of mine, but this is the only photo I have of it at the moment, as the skirt needs some repairing due to getting caught on a door, grr!

I love Halloween themed clothes. Every year I try to find cute Halloween themed clothes I can wear all year round, my inner goth kid loves it. This Trick or Treat vest top is from New Look last year. The text is glow in the dark! It's a slouchy style which I wouldn't normally wear, so I actually wear it tucked into this skirt, which is a midi length, also from New Look last year.

My aaaaaaamazing necklace is of course, Sugar & Vice. It is the Pastel Cross Charm Necklace, I love how it hangs, total pastel goth love for it.

My boots are my trusty Demonia Disorder 301 Black Matte Lace Up Chain high calf boots that I always wear.

My denim jacket is my pride and joy. It is from New Look again, but with a lot of modification by myself. It is a constant work in progress and a lot more has been done to it since these photos were taken. These are some of the better photos I have of it (with help from my Auntie's adorable cat Reggie playing parrot). Most of the patches are either random Ebay finds, or are from Kreepsville 666. They do just my sort of creepy but cute.

You'll notice some badges on the jacket, again, random finds from places, mostly Star Trek themed, some Little Miss Delicious, and one is a special Star Trek badge from the group I am a member of which was started for DSTL in 2012, a Star Trek con I went to. Only the first 250 group members have it, so we could identify each other easily at the con, made making friends super easy and fun!

The back of the jacket is most most beloved Blackcraftcult Lucifer the Cat back patch. As soon as I saw this back patch, there was to be no other, but it was out of stock! So for literally months, I checked the site every single day to see if they were back in stock, till finally I was lucky and it came back in! :D I love it, I need to get it sown on properly still as it is safety pinned at the moment, I can cross stitch, but I just wouldn't do sewing this on justice, it needs a machine.

Once I get the skirt repaired I will totally be resurrecting this outfit this spring, it is so me, and so comfy too which is always a bonus!

Much love,

Kitty

A work outfit

My work outfits are probably not like most people's. I work for my family, so within reason, I mostly wear what I want. Of course I'm not going to wear really low cut tops or super short skirts, or anything offensive, but that's not really me anyway! So, this is a recent outfit, with a couple of my favourite pieces to wear.

First off, I should probably explain the shoes. Batman hi-tops I got from Sports Direct last year, I bought some for my boyfriend too. His are a size smaller, so depressing! They aren't my sort of thing at all, but for someone reason I had to buy them. I haven't worn them at all until recently. I take Ashen (the dog) to work everyday, and walk him home as much as possible, it's about 5.8km, so a good long walk with us both. Sadly it didn't work out today, I had two of the sort of strokes I suffer from and ended up being driven home as they take a good while to recover from.

These are a new favourite. Awesome Batty Eye Ball Slides in black from Kreepsville 666. I love these, I just love creepy cute! They have sooo much I drool over. I really struggle to wear hair decoration due to the constant headpain, but I can usually tolerate these for a few hours. I bought these for an exam for my hairdressing course, I will try to remember to take photos and share them!

These are another favourite. Gorgeous black glass 8mm spirals from Gorilla Glass. I bought them from Body Art Forms as Gorilla Glass only do wholesale. Body Art Forms are a US based site, and I did have to pay customs charges on it, but they have great offers. Depending on how much you spend you can get everything from free O-rings, to free body jewellery or money off your order. These may look heavy, but I find them incredibly comfortable! I can easily wear them the whole day.

Now, this is a company you are going to see featured a lot on my blog as I am a huge fan of them, Sugar & Vice. This bat is a gorgeous matte black, it was one of my first pieces from them, it hasn't marked, scratched, or tarnished at all, and I think it is a great size. As a bigger girl I do sometimes find I have to add a necklace extender to make sure a piece lays right, this is just perfect! You can get it for £12.

As for the rest of the outfit, I did a crappy job of photos as I am currently taking them of myself with my iPhone, which is tricky! The denim shirt dress is one I love from ASOS. It has a really cute cut out in the back that I cannot wait to wear in summer. Currently it isn't available from their site. I'm wearing it with a purple vest top from Tesco last year for about £2, keep an eye out for their in store summer sales! I wear the dress with a vest top underneath because bizarrely, it is a little tight over my chest, which is on the small side for bigger gal! One of the things I love about ASOS, is that they list the model's dress size and height, giving me a good idea on how long something will be on me. I prefer knee length or longer, so I always check that info, if a model is 5ft 8 and it is above the knee, I won't be comfortable in it.

I'm also wearing an eyelash cardigan from New Look's Inspire range. They currently only have it listed in teal on the New Look site, which is super cute too, and on sale for £12! However, it IS available on ASOS for only £8 in the black, bargain! I am considering getting another one as this one is looking a little worn, I've worn it almost constantly for the last year.

My hair, by the way, is a mixture of colours. The pink is Directions Cerise, the blue is Directions Turquoise, and the purple is by a new brand Adore. The is the first time I've tried Adore, so I'll be sure to review it soon. The turquoise lasts aaages!

Love,

Kitty xxxx
