Dip dye hair?

Dip dying has been all the rage this season, everything from dresses to shorts to ...hair! I honestly haven't thought much of it until a friend and I started discussing it the other day. I actually think it can look really cool! Of course, it depends on the person and the intensity of the colouring but a few pops of pink here and there on beach-y tousled hair is really pretty!

I don't think I'd ever do it for real, at least not now when I still live at home and knowing that my mum would freak if I did... However, when I was browsing the cosmetics store the other day, I found a hair mascara and decided to give it a shot.  I chose pink because I think it suits me the best but they had a bunch of different colours!

It only lasts until you wash your hair but I think its a really fun way to temporarily change up your look and go a bit wild! + it looks cool in photos!


What do you think? Pretty or tacky?

Stocking up for summer!

I'm an avid reader (to say the least) so I always make sure to have a good amount of books to keep me entertained, especially when school isn't taking up all my time anymore.  I recently borrowed some books from a friend, which by the way is an excellent way to get a hold of good books without having to buy them, which I'm planning to read in the coming weeks.

Thanks for the memories  by Cecelia Ahern
The Time Traveler's Wife  by Audrey Niffenegger
One day  by David Nichols
The Great Gatsby  by F. Scott Fitzgerald

I'm really excited to read all of these and hopefully they'll be just as good as my friend said they were :)  These along with the 20-something books I'm planning to order from amazon (my favourite place to buy books) will surely satisfy me throughout my vacation! 

Have any of you read any of these books?

Outfit of the day

 Since the weather is absolutely horrid at the moment (hurricane winds, rain, cold etc.) I haven't exactly been able to wear dresses and shorts (much to my dismay) so I had to settle for clothes that are appropriate for both the season and the weather. Full covering clothes to protect from the cold yet light and summer-y colours!

Blouse from Odd Molly
Pants from Zara
Scarf from Zara
Bag from Zadig & Voltaire
Ankle boots from Vagabond

New in

Printed scarf and silvery sandals, both from Zara, of course.  Perfect for summer!

2 months

WOWZA! It has been a looong time since I last posted, absolutely horrible!
The last couple months have just rolled past faster than ever before and it isn't until now that I feel caught up on everything. Essays and exam are what have been consuming my schedule and bloging has not really been at the top of my priorities.
School is out now though, I only have one lesson left (on Monday) and all the work has been handed in. I huuuge weight has been lifted from my shoulders and all the tension of the last couple of months has left me completely. Summer is here and I'm going to make the most out of it, starting with becoming a more avid updater!

Hope to see you around!

Warm weather and exciting plans

Hi! So, it's been quite a while since I updated my blog. I feel really bad but sometimes you've got to put other things first, and these past few weeks have involved a lot of school work and other events.
So has anything exciting happened? Not really...well, I did go see The Hunger Games on Saturday and it was amaaaziiing! I loved it so so incredibly much!

I've also made plans to go back to Paris very soon! A little mini vacation for 4 days in early may! I'm stoked! Me and a friend are going down to visit our Parisian friend and it's going to be AWESOME!

But first of all, Easter break next week, which I've been waiting for ever since sports break, so nice with a weeks break from school! Relaxing and hopefully enjoying some nice weather!

Now I'm on my way to school, I only have one lesson today so it's very chill! Then I need to pack a little for the break and then study for a history test tomorrow...but it's all good because of what awaits after school tomorrow..temporary freedom!

Hopefully I'll have time to create some more interesting posts later on :)
Have a lovely Thursday!

Summer; just around the corner?

I was looking through some old pictures, mainly from last summer and thought I'd share a few.
By looking at these I'm completley filled with longing for those magical summer months, my seventeenth and getting out of my next-to-last year of school. 97 days until I'm free, no time...right?......right?
Thought these pics might inspire a few of you and provoke beautiful dreams of summer :)

Have a lovely Friday night! (Although I'm pretty sure it just turned Saturday), I should probably get to bed and read a little, I got some quite exciting books the other day...maybe I'll share tomorrow.
Sweet dreams!
