New Hair, Don't Care - Naomi

Last night was my turn to experiment with the Schwarzkopf XXL Hair Dye in shade 'Raspberry Rebel' - I was super excited for a little hair makeover and knowing it only lasts 6-8 washes put me at ease for the first time using the Ultra Brights range. At university I went every colour under the sun but after letting my ombre blonde locks grow out I have been very boring with my hair and set in my brown-haired ways. 

The dye was so easy to use and I was transformed within an hour! I sectioned of parts of my hair with tin foil strips and used a paintbrush to cover about 4 inches of the ends, and within half hour I had Raspberry dip-dye locks! For a brighter, more intense colour you can use the Max Blonde Lightener first and then use the Ultra Brights colour on the top. I wanted a bright yet subtle ombre effect and think it worked perfectly on my brown hair colour.  I was so happy with how it turned out and I am already planning my next colour which is going to be Number 96 - Turquoise Temptation (so Kylie Jenner!) I also want to try an all over colour like Amy's purple for Christmas time, I just think it's an instant hair transformation with hardly any effort or money, especially when there on offer at Boots online at the moment, WINNER! 

What do you think of my new locks? Have you guys tried any of the XXL live colour dyes?

Heaven Is A Halfpipe - Amy

The skate trend is going to be so big this SS, we couldn't resist doing a second one almost instantly. In contrast to my first look, I wanted this one to be all about the colour, especially those in this amazing t-shirt from the new Fenchurch collection which you can buy here

The colours in the tee take me back to watching the skaters on Venice Beach a few summers ago but with an English January being a far cry from a Californian August, I needed to take on a winter twist to my inspiration so paired the bright summery tee with a pair of warm, burgundy tartan soft trousers and then an oversized jacket to contrast the slim trousers. A shirt around the waist and a beanie are key to this look and what an excuse to dig out one of my 100's of pairs of vans.. Especially as these came to Venice Beach with me!

California Dreaming - Amy

Ok, hands up who was jealous when they saw the Coachella line up? And who was even more jealous when they saw the amazing outfits that have been posted since? Definitely me for both! and seeing as London has finally had some sun, it seemed the perfect opportunity to wear some summery, festival-inspired outfits

I am usually a Reading go-er, and I can promise you now I have never looked like this at a festival for more than 2 minutes (even with access to a real shower every morning) How do these blogging beauties do it stay so immaculate at messy, outdoor events?! Their style always looks so effortless, even if totally impractical so it's nice to pretend I am one of these glamorous super humans, even if it's only around Central London

When I think festival, I think denim short. A summer staple festival plans or not, every girl needs a pair in their wardrobe to just bowl about in on warm days or to dress up at night time. This acid wash pink and blue dip dye pair from Topshop last summer were a firm fave with me during the summer months, so much so I haven't even looked for a new pair this year!

As the shorts are quite snug fitting, I wanted something loose or boxy to go on top. This eye catching blouse seemed like the perfect choice with the bright and colourful florals feeling fun and summery. Incase there wasn't quite enough colour in there, I added these amazing multi-coloured, round-lensed sunglasses as the colours match perfectly with the blouse.

I finished off with a fuss-free necklace, the floral design compliments the shirt again, a small leather bag to carry around those all important essentials and big chunky (mud resistant) boots.

Are you going to any festivals this year? I think this is the first year I'm not going to any :(! but thanks to my wardrobe, I can atleast play the part.
