Flash!

Today is a bit of a write off. I got my hair done. I met a friend. I had three glasses of red wine over a 3 hour lunch and then had to retire for a nana nap. Shame.

Before I drunk myself sleepy this is what I wore....another stalwart item from my wardrobe. This dress never gets old :)

Apologies - just one photo as I felt embarrassed to request a full-on shoot from my friend. She was slightly bemused by the whole concept as it was :)



Dress: Cheap Monday
Belt: American Apparel
Bag: Miu Miu
Shoes: Kurt Geiger (although you can barely see but they are pretty diamante sandals I got in the ASOS sale)
Sunglasses: Gucci 

Now the hair?

I am very happy. It's a nice rich, neutral brown but to make it a bit more interesting my stylist added some flashes of highlights along the underside.


It was just 5 or 6 foils in total but it just adds "enough" to break up the colour. I really like the effect of this and quite like the tone of the blonde too...mmm wonder what this would be like littered all over? :)

For anyone in Dubai I go to JetSet in JBR and the stylist is called Elena.

(PS. It looks shorter in the above picture but I think this is a combination of the styling and the fact that most of it was at the front....rest assured: no scissors came anywhere near me :)

To wrap up...

Some other musings that I think require sharing:

* Dermalogica Dermal Clay Cleanser is the new Liz Earle - I started using this by accident and now I think I am hooked. I have even bought the mahoosive/salon size bottle - that's how much I like it. If you suffer from the oilies (and here I suffer a lot!) then this is your salvation. I don't find it drying - I find it effective in cleansing and neutralising the oil production. Pair it with a muslin cloth and it's happy skin days
* Sleek Peach Perfection remains my favourite lip product - I have just used up my first container and I will start working my way through the back-up. I like Bare Minimum too but Peach Perfection is holy grail material. In fact lets not beat around the bush - it is holy grail. Just deal with the slightly weird metallic aftertaste and appreciate the colour.
* My next make up purchases will be... - Make Up For Ever Smokey Lash and Make Up For Ever Waterproof Eyebrow Protector. I am trying to be "good" though and use up Lancome Doll Eyes before I buy anything else...I literally cannot wait until this sucker dries up but annoyingly it seems to be lasting quite a long time - probably the only good thing I can say about it.

Okay, that's enough rambling for now :) I will just close with some pictures of my lunch - I always salivate over people's pictures of food and today I had sweet potato fries for the first time in months so I felt it was worth a share! So yummy!

Hope you have a lovely Saturday everyone!
