LOVE LOCKS

Hair is the irremovable accessory to the way in which a person expresses themselves. I honestly believe that no matter what a woman is wearing, if her hair is devoid of love and pride, she carries herself somewhat less eloquently than a woman who looks after her tresses. After a few hideous haircuts and disastrous experiments with colour (black to blonde equals a garish orange), I have finally come to grips with the fact that as much as I love the idea of cropped locks and platinum blonde pixie cuts, my personality is complimented by long layers and silky chocolate tones. I've always been terrible at styling my hair because I'm an uncoordinated, fumbling mess and always end up with my hair caught in the hair dryer or burning myself on curling tongs. However lately, I've been experimenting with styling techniques whilst blow drying my hair and I've been picked up an idiot proof curling iron from my local salon that has made such a difference in my day-to-day life. 

I'm incredibly inspired by hair; the tangible feeling of infinite confidence when someone walks out of a salon with a gorgeous head of hair speaks for itself. As for style, I am a die hard fan of bold locks - overstated, blow dried barrel curls, backcombed beehives and rollers. Take the time out to take care of your hair and you'll instantly feel better about yourself. Remain on trend but know what suits you - the currency of style transcends merely one key fashion statement. Personally, I'm inspired by The Olsen Twins and socialite Olivia Palmero...

SEASONS GREETINGS

I'm writing this post from the confines of my bedroom, tucked snugly in my bed, with the air con and Regina Spektor blasting, enjoying some festive overcast weather and slipping into a turkey-induced food coma. Slightly sad that Christmas is over and done with for another year, yet overjoyed with the goodies that I unwrapped from under my tree.

THE TEN COMMANDMENTS

Firstly, I'd like to apologise for being missing in action these past few weeks. It's safe to say I've been incredibly busy delving into seasonal festivities and preparing for Christmas and NYE. After a few days and nights spent at the beach with my friends downing Southern Comforts and ginger ale, I'm feeling refreshed and inspired to present some carefully crafted gift ideas during this season of sharing. 

Before then, I just thought I'd share with you The 10 Commandments of Fashion PR, which I found on one of my most religious (forgive the pun) reads, the dkny pr girl blog

Season's greetings!
