Wow Factor

The amazing wow factor at the Olympics, other than Usain Bolt and Michael Phelps winning every race, was at the closing ceremony. A selection of ten iconic British supermodels strutted their stuff down the runway clad in dazzling gold designer creations to David Bowie's hit Fashion. Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell, Lily Donaldson, Georgia May Jagger, Jourdan Dunn, Karen Elson, Stella Tennant, Lily Cole and David Gandy were the lucky ten who got to storm the Union Jack shaped runway on Sunday night.

“Moss and Campbell may be in catwalk semi-retirement but both put in classic catwalk displays. Moss poured down the catwalk like vodka onto ice: the only thing missing from that liquid perambulation (in a Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen bias-cut silk-lined show-stopper) was a signature cigarette perched in her pout,” reported British newspaper The Telegraph.

Dogeared

For quite some time now, I've been in love with the whole Dogeared brand. They make exquisite jewelry which suits everyone's preferences and needs, in my opinion.
They have everything from simple necklaces and bracelets, to dainty and beautiful earrings.

"Spreading good energy, one jewel at a time"

One of my favourite necklaces.

Patterns

Something which I think could be great fun to wear during the boring autumn and winter months is a patterned blazer. I know that I tend to wear a lot of black during the winter, but a simple patterned blazer can easily revitalize a whole outfit. Accessorize with beautiful bracelets or a necklace and your ready to go!

Patterned trousers and pants are one of my favourite trends right now. I know that some mornings when I pick out what to wear for the day, I still want something summery, but it's a little too chilly to wear shorts. A pair of flowy, patterned bottoms instantly make the outfit more interesting and are not too heavy and warm.

Hair Care

Since I have quite long hair, I like to put a deep treatment in it at least once a week. This helps to hydrate the hair, and help with any split ends - it also reduces the frizziness that can occur.
Here are some of the products I use to keep my hair healthy!

From left to right:
Schwarzkopf- Got 2b Volumizing Styling Powder
Osis+ Dust it
Joico- K-PAK, Restorative Styling Oil
Moroccan Oil- Hair Treatment
Aussie- Take the Heat, 3 Minute Miracle
Aussie- 3 Minute Miracle, Reconstruction
Elvital- Nutri-gloss, Shine Shampoo and Conditioner

I start off by washing my hair with the Elvital shampoo (which smells amazing!) and conditioner. I do this every other day. When my hair is damp, I put a blob of Moroccan oil through the tips. Alternatively I use the Joico hair oil- but I prefer the smell of the Moroccan oil.
Once or twice a week I'll deep condition my hair as I said. I either use Aussie's Take the Heat, for when I know I'm going to be using a straightener or curling iron, or the Reconstructive deep treatment, which works wonders for split and dry ends!
For when I want voluminous hair I typically use the Osis+ Dust it, which I "dust" onto my teased roots of my hair and rub. I sometimes go for Schwarzkopf's Got 2b, but I prefer the Osis+

Hope you enjoyed!

Summer Holiday?

These past two weeks I haven't really been able to sit back and relax. I've been studying for my drivers test, which I have on Tuesday!! :/ It's scary to think of, so I try hard not to think about it and just go with the flow. But whenever I'm not occupied by something, all I think about is if I'll pass or not...
Excuse me for the lack of blog posts for the coming week! I hope you'll be able to enjoy the little part of summer that's left.

I just realised now that my post "Music Monday #4" was uploaded on Sunday. Sorry about that, it was supposed to be uploaded today! :)

The Happening

Last night I decided to watch a movie I had never seen before; The Happening. I've been wanting to watch this movie for a long time, but always been a little reluctant to watching it.

For the first 20 minutes, I was completely astounded by what was happening. For those of you who have seen it, will probably understand what I'm talking about.

The movie's storyline was good; it reminded me of the movie Contagion which was released last autumn.

Starring Mark Wahlberg and Zooey Deschanel
