new year, new you?

HAPPY NEW YEAR! Sorry it's a bit late, I've only just returned from my hols. I hope you all had a fabulous Christmas & New Years! Mine was spent laying on a beach in Thailand (heaven!) For any one thinking about going travelling- do it. I know I was only away for 2 weeks, but seriously I've been bitten by the travel bug (I was told never to say that phrase again- oops). 

ALSO! Happy belated birthday to my pal, Ray! It was her birthday on the 4th, I hope you all sent her a lovely message? If not, write two next year? 

So, what are your *dreaded* New Years resolutions? Mine include: 

Being smilier [they're infectious don't you know! :)] 

Eating my 5-a-day [I'm being realistic with food goals]

Finally completing the 30 day shred [I've never quite made it to the 20th day]

Being A LOT more organised [I'm a bit of a hoarder, so it's hard to find things in a hurry, such as clothes, important documents, keys etc]

Travel more [Vegas, LA, and Melbourne are hopes]

Post on this blog more! [I totally neglected the blog the last 6 months of the year, due to getting a new job, moving house and travelling a hell of a lot, but I'm back and I'm raring to go ;)] 

Before I left for my vacay, I got my hair did. This is what it looked like that very day (it's completely different now, the top colour has faded so it doesn't look like such a huge contrast- still contrasting but not so hideously).... I just thought "what the hell, why not do something crazy?" I immediately regretted it as my hair stylist seemed incapable of actually doing it once she started but hey, you live and learn, and I've learned to start looking for a new hairdresser. 

Anywho, I know you've got opinions, so constructive criticism is very welcome. I know the dip-dye is at the total wrong place. So there's no point writing that if you were going to. 

Happy friday girls. Enjoy your weekend. XOXO AVS

P.S I want a new web layout. If any one can help/recommend anyone, that would be grrrreat :) 

hair-spiration

I'm currently in a hair-rut. It's ombre-ing itself (i.e. posh word for ROOTS-ew). I want to go lighter for the summer, gone is winter and with it the purple and deep red hair. I'm feeling the ginger vibe at the moment. But as I'm not quite brave enough to go a traffic light orange on my head just yet, I'm thinking a light brown, or how about this Rich Caramel colour........

Four of Hollywoods most gorgeous leading ladies are/have rocked the rich caramel colour, I'm seriously considering booking an appointment with my hairdresser right this second. 

Yay or nay? Answers on a postcard(commentbox) please ladies. XOXO AVS

growing up & out

This is my annoying fringe-growing-out stage.... I wasn't feeling the blunt fringe anymore, but the growing them out is such a bitch! I've been plaiting them quite a bit, but I think I can cope with this for now!

*This is just a quick one, so apologies for the hickle-de-pickle-de-ness of it!*

...So what's happened in the past week since I last blogged? Well, I found out I had a viral ear infection, the reason why I was constantly nauseous and dizzy and had the balance of a drunk 90 year old. Therefore the exercise regime took a big hit, any vigorous exercise was highly unrecommended unless I wanted to faint. 

OH funny story- I fell over on one of those moving travelators in London. HA. woman asked me if i was drunk... "errr lady, it's 10am in the morning! I am  not drunk!" 

Anywho, I'm working in London a few days a week (then the rest at home) at the PR company I interned for in LA, it's going great, I love getting all dressed up for work in the big city! It makes me feel very old! haha. 

I tried to take some pictures the other day of outfits and new jewels but my camera refuses to focus, I have the worst luck with cameras EVER. eurgh.

In the meantime I advise you to watch the trailer for the new film 'Bridesmaids'! I saw it last month in LA and let me tell you, IT'S HILARIOUS. I can't wait to go see it again with my mum, and then my best friends, and then random strangers and their neighbours. It was honestly one of the funniest films I've seen since the Hangover.  Enjoy ladies! XOXO AVS

H A P P Y . V A L E N T I N E S . D A Y . 

to all of you beautiful girlies reading this! I hope today you are lavished with love- whether that be from a boyfriend or girlfriend, mum or dad, friend or cat! 

If you've read the blog before you'll know that I had a weave put in last month, it was lovely, and I loved having lengthen locks, but after 6 weeks of being treated badly yesterday was the day to say adios! Just before I (when I say 'I', I mean my mum- thanks mum!) took it out, I was in Superdrug and on impulse I brought an XXL Live hair colur (Cyber Purple)... Took the extensions out and whacked in the colour- here's the result: 

Quite dark, washed me out a little, but you know its better than the boring brown colour it was before. In case your wondering no I am not pregnant and piling on the pounds I am just in a very clingy dress (New Look Leopard peter pan collar- I got it for something like £3!!! [Student discount+money of this style dress or something when brought with a pair of shoes!])

My weekend at home was absolutely lovely, I saw went out for drinks on Saturday night (yum yum Malibu+Pineapple) and saw 'Just go with it' with Jennifer Aniston  & Adam Sandler- OMG hilarious. You should definitely go see it :D  

Have a lovely day/night whatever you do! I have a telephone meeting with my future work experience boss (she rescheduled the meeting from last week- due to 'being very busy with Grammy events'- o.m.g), take care beautifuls. XOXO AVS

change.

 

had these old things just knocking about in my wardrobe and i figured my hair was just about long enough to put them back in.... what do you think? this picture isn't the best but hey, it was a quickie. 

i'm just about to go dye my hair (real+fake) a darker brown and then gonna chop the extensions so they're a bit shorter, considering i have shoulder length hair i think these are TOO fake if that makes sense? i know i have someone elses hair on my head right now and that's fake enough, but the length just screams fake right? wow rambling on... 

hope you're having a lovely day. 

xoxo avs
