Sight-skating Around Paris

My love and I had the pleasure of visiting Paris after a wedding in Chantilly. We were lucky enough to arrive on the day of the Fete De La Musique, where the whole of Paris was in song. Every courner had a block party, from early in the day to late at night. Being the wannabe hipsters that we apparently are, Kieran and I elected to bring our wheels (his Penney, my Micro Scooter) and see the most of Paris, with the freedom to stop as we wanted. It was a perfect day.

So many beautiful details in Paris

We chose scooter and skateboards as main mode of transport. No better way to travel around a city

How to Rock Mens Comfy Casuals

Ever noticed how calm and laid back men look? Let me tell you for free, it is their clothing. How are women meant to be happy with shoes pinching, bras scratching and false fibres itching. Forget it, head to the mens aisle for greener pastures. Today I decided to do it like a dude, heading to the Zara mens section to pick up this 100% cotton (yes, see how they treat men?) natural fibre comfy as hell black sweater which worked nicely as a dress for me.  I paired the look with leggings and the best accessory in the world, my minimal Zara leather back pack and finished with plimsolls from Primark. Happy As Larry!

This Bag is THE BAG! I have received so many compliments. It is so handy and at only £19.99 I love it. It also comes in Stone colour and is still in certain Zara stores but not online. Keep your eyes peeled, the last place I saw one was in Chelsea Dukes Square Zara!

Summer Silver Hair Top Tips

This season as the sun gets brighter the hair is getting lighter. Blame it on Danerys, but the mother of dragons has everyone from all colour tones coveting cool silver tones. I, not being exempt from the list have finally perfected the coveted silver hair. 

How to get the look

1. This look was created by placing Loreal silver shampoo on Platinum hair. leave for 20 mins. 

2. Apply black dye to the roots and mid way down pre dyed platinum hair for the ombre black roots.  Then when the dye has been in for 10 mins ( not set) wash out with silver shampoo. Because the colour hasn't set as it washes out it makes the hair go from dark lilac to pale lilac. 

I was so happy when I achieved this look- through  my trials and tribulations I have learned the following tipa

Tip 1.

Dye hair as far as it will go to platinum blonde. If you are starting from dark, one 

Dye will not do. So don't be lazy!

Tip 2

Tone out the brassy yellow. For silver it is not your friend. Don't cut corners! Get out all that brassy orange tones. Try Wella T50 it will tone hair silver.

Tip 3 

If you are weaving hair, it is much easier to start from ready dyed platinum hair and then just dye the roots as black as you would like

Tip 4

Loreal silver shampoo can actually semi permanently dye your hair lilac/silver if you leave it on for 20 mins. This is quite drying so is not a long term solution. Leave on for 20 mins only once to get the colour, then when uou wash the hair leave the shampoo on for only a regular washing time and condition with white conditioner to maintain the colour.
