seven little number, baby I know yours by heart

 Dress - Topshop // Belt - Vintage // Lips - Brighton Rock (Topshop)

If you follow me on instagram you will know I was mentioned in COSMOPOLITAN magazine by the beautiful Estée from essiebutton I was so excited, I have now framed the page and it's hanging in my downstairs loo. I'm not one for new year resolutions but this year I am going to concentrate on making Blue Rinse a success, I have a passion for vintage fashion and I want to share my styling with you guys more often, I know we are still only in January but so far I'm keeping to my promise. I fell in love with this dress as soon as I saw it, the winter burgundy really compliments my hair colour and skin tone and best of all makes my waste look tiny! Since having my extensions I haven't really styled my hair like this, I've really missed it and I forgot how much I liked it.

In the last month I have put on half a stone and it's become really noticeable, it's time to get fit and motivated any diet suggestions welcomed, veggie of course.
Tomorrow I am recording my first ever youtube video, wish me luck!

1940'S Housewife.

This week I have been busy figuring out way to style my new locks, for over a year I have either had short hair or dreadlocks, so now I have hair again I don't know what to do with it.

I bought a hair bun yesterday cut it in hair and fashioned into the delightfully name hair rat, to attempt to do so faux 1940's bangs, unfortunately I am still attempting to grow my fringe out and it's not quite long enough to do yet, so I improvised and did a simple side roll. I also curled the end using the Babyliss hair wand and then brushed it out. I don't use any hair spray or harmful products to style it, the wand is that good that the curls say in all day, it's a hair miracle.

The dress I'm wearing here is thrifted vintage from a local charity shop in navy blue with a delicate white pattern, it really nips me in at the waist (where I have lost the most weight) and the length sits just above the knee, perfect. I teamed the dress with Primark leggings and these bright turquoise pumps with gold detail also from Primark, the outcome is this great 1940's look.
