Spring/Summer '15 Hair Care and Trends.

Hello!

This is actually a piece I wrote for the St.Davids Cardiff blog but I thought I'd share it on here too :)

With the recent beautiful weather we have had this Spring I want to share with you some of the hottest new hair trends and also some great hair care products to keep your hair looking its best during the warm months.

Colour:

Alot of people like to go lighter during the Summer time and one of the new colour trend appearing is Silver hair. I am currently rocking this Silver hair trend, as I already have light blonde hair I simply apply a shop-bought dye in the tone 'Iridescent Pearl Blonde' by L'Oreal Paris.

L'Oreal Feria. £5.89 - Superdrug.

To add to the Silver effect I then like to apply a Silver Toner such as this one by Jerome Russell:

Jerome Russell Colour Toner. £4.49 - Superdrug.

Accessories:

Festivals always provide us with some great style inspiration for ways to spice up of hair style. As spotted at Coachella this year these super cute sparkly cat ears are a great way to liven up a party 'do:

Cat Ears. £8 - Accessorize.

And what would Spring be without a little Daisy Chain action? Spruce up your updo buns with this pretty bun wrap-around:

Daisy Chain Bun Garland. £5.50 - Claire's Accessories.

Style:

Bouncy beach waves are a light and perfect style for the sunshine. The GHD Curve Wave Wand is an easy way to achieve the ultimate deep wave:

Hair Care:

As much as styling hair looks great it can also take a toll on our hair condition. The hot weather can also cause our hair to become dry and damaged. 

One of my favourite ways to take care of my dry hair is to use hair oils. This amazing oil from Ojon is a great way to boost moisture and give good shine. Ojon is particularly great as it uses natural oils from Africa. The look is also fantasic, the three colours need to be shaken to waken their powers of hair healing:

Ojon Rare Blend Oil to go. £12 - Boots.

Let your hair be beautiful this Spring/Summer!

Polka Dot Stomp.

Hello!

What a beautiful weekend it's been, I've had another quiet one, I worked on Saturday and just went walking on the beach on Sunday in the glorious sunshine. 

The recent heavy rain had left me wearing these babies that I want to share with you today and also are really good for walking on the beach with as you can get wet and not fall down rocks so easily: 

Evercreatures Short Polka Dot Wellies - Filthy Fox*

I've got pretty short legs and I never get on wearing wellie boots as they are always too high up to the knee, however these super pretty Evercreatures are a shorter version and go upto my shin so they are the perfect height.

The quality on these are amazing, they are made to be 100% waterproof, they come in gorgeous box decorated with the Hummingbird logo and also had a Hummingbird rubber keychain attached to them (which is now on my car keys) which you can check out on the Evercreatures website. The wellies also have a 4mm insole so they are incredibly comfy to have a trek about in.

I'm so happy to have the sun shining and I even had some Daffodils bloom in my garden!

What did you get upto this weekend?

Totally Tropical!

Today, for the first time in what feel like a year, the sun came out! The day did start with rain, then it rained some more half-way through but even just the feel of the sun on my skin as I walked home, and the blueness of the sky, made everything feel SO much better. 

So as I was so excited at the smallest thought of Spring and sunshine, I've put together a little tropical themed wishlist:

Mint Floral Collared Dress - Glamorous
This dress is so so cute I love the style aswell as the bright colours.

Tropical Mom Shorts - New Look
I love that these printed shorts are hi-waisted for ladies like me with a big booty so it makes you feel good while looking awesome! 

Bird Wooden Wall Print - Urban Outfitters.
I would love to have this in my living room so much! 

Palm Cropped Sheer Blouse - Sister Jane

Tropical Chopping Board - Urban Outfitters
I NEED! This is gorgeous I love the Miami Vice colours.

Paquita Cut-out Jelly Shoes - Missguided
I'm so ready to put my jelly shoes back on, I didn't pick up the glittery style ones last year but this year - it's time!

Oversized Ombre Sunglasses - ASOS
These are my two-fave colours together on beautiful circular sunglasses.
Living on my wishlist until the sun pops out!

Are you feeling the tropical vibe? I just can't wait for Spring!
