Green hair, don't care...

Some of you may have noticed that my hair is slightly... different than normal. Let me start by saying it was a total mistake. 

I wanted a pale lilac dip dye, and from previous experience with crazy colour, I've found that my hair doesn't grasp it very well. So I chose a bright purple- violette -and hoped for the best. 

To my dismay, the colour really held, leaving me with electric blue hair. I've washed it and washed it to no avail, leaving me with turquoise mermaid hair. However, I'm beginning to grow quite accustom to it.

What do you think?

Love and mermaid magic sparkles,

OOTD 19-06-13 - Let the sun shine on your face...

Bonjour my lovelies!

Now, if you're from London like me, you'll know that we've lacked sunshine recently! Considering it's well into June, you'd think we'd have some by now. Alas, no. However, we get peeks of it here and there, and today was just one of those days.

I started the day with a black Earl Grey (of course) and a catch up with my Mum and Grandma at Sainsburys, then went for a run. After said run, I had a bite of lunch then went to meet my boyfriend at the park. I chose to wear my new swing dress from Lindy Bop, as I am totes in head over heels love with it. Now to get a tan!!

Have you all made the most of this rare sunny day?

Dress - £29.99 - LindyBop.co.uk

Denim Jacket - £18 - Matalan

Loafers (Not Pictured) - £75 (£13 Charity Shop) - Clarks

Sunglasses - £85 - Lulu Guinness

Love and joy,

xoxo

Greased Lightening...

I've just returned from the most wonderful place in the world.

Okay, I may be exaggerating, but it's not far off. My Boyfriend's parent's took us to Brook's Diner in Southgate, a 50's style American Diner type restaurant. Hearing the description excited me enough, but actually walking in... Wow. I felt like I was in some sort of haven. Rocking up in my 50's swing dress courtesy of Lindy Bop, pin curled locks and cat eye sunglasses, I was right at home.

The decor was gorgeous. Monochrome with splashes of bright red, everything shiny and gorgeous, walls adorned with photos of various film and music stars, along with guitars and other bits of music memorabilia. On the front of the menu, a Sailor Jerry-esque pin up girl, immediately exciting me even more, if it were possible.

Oh but the food. God the food. I chose a Cheese and Bacon Burger with Fries (screw the diet, just for today) and it was glorious. Mum-in-law opted for Scampi and Fries while the boy and Pa-in-law went for Supersized Burgers with everything on it. I also had a gorgeous Strawberry milkshake which would put every other drink of the same name to shame. 

In short, I had a fabulous time and would recommend it to anyone, whether you're a fan of the era or not. The service was spectacular and George, the owner, is a warm, funny and welcoming man. So, if you can't quite see the address in the picture above and find yourself in the North London area, the address is:

24 Hampden Square

Southgate
N14 5JR

Let me know if you've visited before or are planning to!

Love and sparkles,

xoxo
