My Christmas Playlist

Hello Everybody! Its finally December which means... It's nearly Christmas! I'm literally so excited.. I cannot wait. I have already finished my shopping and wrapped all the presents ( yay!). 

Although our decorations aren't up at the moment :( I am still blasting the Christmas songs out of my speakers and as everybody is in or getting into the Christmas spirit I thought I would share a few of my favourites with you. 








( I love all his Christmas songs) 












Chris de Burgh- A spaceman came travelling 


Cliff Richard- Mistletoe and Wine



John Lennon- Happy Xmas ( War Is Over)

There are so many more songs I love but if I included them all this post would be HUGE!!  What are your favourite Christmas songs? What do you do to get in the Christmas spirit? ( feel free to leave comments below :D )

The Little Things Which Matter Most....





Hello everybody!

As a lot of you may be aware that Facebook yet again has a new tag craze - 5 photo nomination. In case you don't know it's where you all nominate each other to upload 5 photos that make you happy. After seeing these dotted around and being nominated myself it got me thinking that no matter how old you are there are always little things which always make you happy. These things aren't always the most important things - like winning an award but little things like :

❤ Relaxing with a nice hot drink
❤ Freshly fallen Autumn Leaves
❤ Outings to unknown places
❤ Small jokes only you and a friend understand
❤ Time spent with loved ones

These all often have the same effect on us like the big important things and by capturing these moments we are all able to look back and re-live those feelings of living in the moment!










Just remember that no matter how tough life gets .. It's the little things which matter the most! They make us happy and create the best memories!

Rockabilly Inspired Hairstyles


Hey guys!

So recently I've been loving vintage / rockabilly hairstyles, which I have become some of my "go to" looks. They look somewhat challenging but when you get the hang of it then are so easy and look amazing, cute and pretty!
I will be leaving links at the bottom to the videos and YouTube channels which inspired and helped me learn! 

Pompadour

This style has to be my most work look. It's quick, easy and looks lovely for when you want your hair/ fringe off your face ( like on those bad hair days). This stlyle can be worn with your hair down or up in a ponytail or messy bun and accessorised with a bandanna or small fower (or any clip in hair accessory like a bow or headpiece).  








Front Pin Curl 

This has to be my second vintage "go to" style. It takes a few attempts and practises to achieve a satisfactory curl, but once you're happy with it, it looks cute and gives you a whole vintage look. Like the Pompadour this style can be worn with your hair up or down with curly hair and accessorised with a flower, bandanna or headpiece. When I do this style I tent to just do a single curl at the front of my head- but you can get creative and add multiple curls to create a more artistic Pin Up Rockabilly look (similar victory rolls). 




Pomp Curl

This style is cross between the Pompadour and Front Pin Curl. Instead of rolling from the side you roll the hair back to create the pompadour and curl (will be explained in the link at the end). This style looks great pinned up and really emphasises the whole vintage look. Again Like the other two this looks great with a Flower, Bandanna or headpiece. 






Victory Rolls

This style has to be one of the most common and iconic vintage and Rockabilly hairstyles. Every time I see pictures I just simply fall in love! For me I feel that this is a more going out rather than casual style  but its lovely neither the less! (I've never really attempted it as much as the others so sorry if it's not top quality).  After many experiments this image was the outcome and the once I am most proud of!
As the rolls are positioned at the top of my head I decided to accessorise with a small flower but like the other three any hair piece, scarf or bandanna will look lovely with this style and really give you a whole Vintage, Retro and Rockabilly look! (I shall defiantly be wearing it when I go out to Rock N Roll nights or parties).

Please feel free to tweet or tag me in any Instagram posts of your attempts I would love to see them! Happy experimenting!
