Vintage Party







A couple of weeks ago me ad a couple of girls from uni had to organise a fashion shoot. We were very lucky and got the chance to run around Fyvie Castle. The finished photos look great and we're really pleased with them all. Thank you to everyone that helped us out

Dip Dye
















Dip dye hair sprung up this summer and since then its been everywhere! I personally think its the best thing ever, depending on how its done sometimes it can be done quite dodgy. Two celebrities that have been heading up the dip dye trend this year are Drew Barrymore and Nikki Minaj



I was so fascinated by dip dye that this summer I tried it out myself and the results weren't to bad for me being armed with hair bleach and dye. Maybe hair dressing is my calling

Big, Brunette and Beautiful

As part of my coursework I have had to write an article for a Fashion magazine. For my article I chose to write about something close to me heart and that was curvier, healthier looking women in fashion. I'm not the slimmest of people and I've accepted that however it still irritates me that there are still dangerously thin models parading around in magazines and on the runway. I wish that more people in the fashion industry would realise that for many women it is not healthy to be that thin. Something I've noticed has well while researching has been that sizes in fashion go from one extreme to another, models are either size zero or plus size e.g. size 14 and up. Whats so wrong with sizes 10 and 12? It seems like it would be a happy medium and widen the spectrum but sized 10 and 12 models are virtually  unheard of. I'm 5,10' and a size 14, my size is in proportion to my height if I was much thinner I would look ill. I eat right and walk from one side of Aberdeen to the other most days so this is clearly the shape I'm meant to be, I'm curvy and I'm proud.

Halloween

I sat and reminisced today about Halloween while looking through pictures. I love Halloween purely for the dress up, I don't really mind about the whole spirits part of it. I love dressing up. Its the one time a year that you get to look ridiculous and no one bats an eye. This year I dressed up as a leopard which I thought wouldn't be that common, I was wrong. Everywhere I looked there was another leopard.

I wanted to buy a dress that I could wear again and with this little number from Topshop I can and I have. I sat the night before and crimped all of my hair as well which took a life time! 
This year the night that everyone goes out for Halloween was also Emma from me last posts birthday. Her costume was hands down fantastic. She went as the Statue of Liberty and made her costume all by herself. It was amazing!


  
Although the best costume of the night had to go to the guy that dressed up as an angry bird.
