Last Friday, as I was browsing the hair dyes in Boots, with the intention of buying the brightest orange, some peachy blonde caught my eye. After only a short moment comparing several bleaches, I bought the strongest packet from Live Colour XXL. I only needed a few words of encouragement from my flatmates before I decided to take the plunge to go blonde. I also took inspiration from some lovely pink haired ladies including
Kailey of Mermaidens,
Marianne of Esme and the Lanway,
Hannah of Hannah and Landon, and Charlotte Free. It turned out I needed two packets of bleach, which is lucky because I bought a second from the supermarket just in case. Then I smothered my hair in Manic Panic (in hot hot pink, I think) super diluted with conditioner, which turned out a little too fuchsia on the fringe and quite salmon on the rest of my hair. Shampooing has since evened it all out (thank goodness!) Once the pink fades out I'll probably bleach it again to catch the few sneaky bits that have remained darker than the rest and try a new bubblegum pink. In conclusion, the pink is here to stay, for some time at least. Don't ask why because I don't really know, it feels like it was a moment of madness, but I haven't regretted it yet.
The weather is on the up again in London, the sunshine really lifts the spirits. I switched my winter wardrobe for my summer wardrobe and I now have a collection of adorable summer dresses that I've been slowly accumulating all winter. This is one I thrifted, it's vintage Monsoon and would be perfect for picnics. It's also the colour of sea foam so I wore my shell bag with it (another second hand find). I can't decide whether I want to be a mermaid or a princess but I'm happy to settle for both. Splashing in the waves in the light of a setting summer sun, I would be the happiest mermaid princess...
