Coachella Crushin.

As if it wasn't irritating enough not being able to go to probably one of the best music festivals in the world, Coachella, but after seeing Planet Blues Coachella inspired collection I would definitely sell my right arm to be there.

Staying true to the brand Planet Blue has gone for a casual and relaxed style reflecting what California stands for. They also have got the BEAUTIFUL Gillian Zinser, who plays Ivy Sullivan in 90210, who perfectly captures the essence of the brand and really sells that festival vibe.

My favourite look out of this collection definitely has to be the animal print shorts and backless tee. Will certainly be taking inspiration from these looks for summer but will have to keep on hitting the gym to make sure I'm as nice and skinny as Gillian to pull off those crop tops!

All the collection is available to buy now on www.shopplanetblue.com.

Chalk That Chalk.

I always want to change and be a little bit more experimental with my hair but sometimes a permenant colour isn't the best answer and can leave you walking around like a Muppet for several months. But since the one and only Lauren Conrad posted a picture of her with tie-dyed tips I  haven't wanted to try out this style myself but been far too nervous to UNTIL I found out she achieved this look by chalking her hair. Chalking is not a permanent solution for colouring your hair but will however give you the look you desire until the next time you wash your hair through.

To achieve this style of look you will need a pack of soft pastel chalk (NOT OIL BASED CHALK), spray bottle of water and a straightening iron. Twist the tips of your hair into small sections and rub the desired colour of chalk on to the middle to the tips of your hair. After chalking each individual section be sure to brush out any excess chalk that may be left on the hair. Us blonde girls do not need to use any water to achieve this look, however if you have red or dark hair wet the section of your hair before you chalk it or the colour may not show up. If blondes wet their hair the chalk will actually stain your hair and remain in for up to two weeks as a semi-permanent colour. Once you have chalked your hair a great way to really make the colour stick is running over it with a straightening iron to lock it in.

Once your hair is chalked remember that the colour will rub off so it is best to wear darker clothes that are less likely to be stained. When washing your hair after it has been chalked its best to brush it to try and get as much of it out as possible. Also it is best not to chalk your hair too often as some of the ingredients do dry out the natural oils in your hair so its best to use a deep conditioning treatment afterwards.

These are some of my favourite styles I have found on the web, enjoy!!!

Birds of a Feather.

I  have been neglecting my blogging duties lately and decided that enough was enough and it was time for me to give myself a shake and break this vow of silence! So at long last here is a new post after a month of tumble weed...

Over Christmas time I got a feather hair extension put in my hair. I would recommend these to EVERYONE. They look best when put in a lower layer of your hair and in a colour that blends in so that every now and then the extension catches peoples eye, breaks up your hair and acts as an accessory. However you can achieve a much more dramatic look with bright coloured or several extensions in the hair. In  the Summer I would like to have a turquoise or orange one put in.

The extension I used is by a brand called Royal Feathers, http://www.royalfeathers.co.uk/. They cost around £20-£25 and should last for up to 6 months. The extension can be just treat the same as your normal hair and can be blow dried, straightened and curled making them relatively low maintenance. It is applied to the hair with two small metal clamps, pressed on to a bit of your own  hair which can easily be taken in and out at any time.

These are some of my favourite pictures I found on the Internet....
