You're the boss, applesauce ...

Its nearly day 10 of my flu and I'm only just starting to feel better! I can't wait to get back some kind of normality, get out and about, book some gym classes and just feel like a functioning human being again. I haven't even seen 2011 yet apart from through a window.

Since I still haven't been feeling 100% I have been going for easy casual outfits that are comfy to lounge about it. It's actually felt great to be out of pyjamas for a change.

I had a bit of a nightmare trying to photograph this look too hence the crazy posing and blurred shots. My camera is so awful but if things go to plan I hould have a new one by the end of the month. I am looking to buy a DSLR but also need a new digital compacy ... oh, and a new laptop but one piece of technology at a time, eh? Any camera recommendations would be greatly appreciated though.
My best 'ard boy impression ;)
Top from Boy London at Urban Outfitters. This was a present from my husband knowing my love for Warhol's work. The snood was to help comfort my sore throat (which has absolutely killed all week) and is from a store called Dom in Berlin. Dom is a quirky interiors store but also has some jewellery and occasionally some items of clothing. The leather trousers are River Island and are surprisingly comfy. Jewellery was just a few bracelets and rings thrown on from what I could find lying around.
Make up was pretty simple since this is probably the first time in over a week I have applied any. Some Rituals foundation with Nars Laguna Bronzer and Orgasm blush and a slick of frambroise juicy tube was enough. I made myself look half alive with a flick of Shu Uemura liner and mascara.

My hair is still 'ombre'd' in these pics and I am supposed to be getting it redone at the weekend however I have had a change of heart and may go for an all over dye again ... I just can't decide. I just don't see any hairstyles or colours that really appeal to me at the moment.

Do you have any hair suggestions I could consider?

  1. Love this look, casual without being boring. What shoes do you put on with those trousers? Also, are you quite tall? I'm oly 5' and although I love those big chunky snoods and scarfs, I sometimes feel that they drown me and make me look like a little munchkin ;) I actually love your hair as it is - a nice length to wear up or down. Maybe work the ombre just a little while longer? x

  5. @MissisG I am not tall, only abou 5'4 ... i either wear black wedge heels/boots with these or sky high sandals ... occasionally i've worn flat pumps with them. I think the soft material of this snood and the way it hangs helps it not drown me ... it's not too stuffy feeling if you know what I mean? xx

  7. @littlemissmakeup The black beaded cuff came from a little boutique in Barcelona about 5 years ago but i have seen similar in the likes of Topshop/Miss Selfridge from time to time. The blue ring is from a market in Egypt and the clear skull ring is Vivienne Westwood xx
