New Blog - Jess said...

Hello! Long time no blog post!
Firstly, apologies for neglecting this little space, back in the day I really enjoyed posting here but life and work just got in the way, and slowly it became forgotten.

A few years later and I'm back in the game, this time from a different angle. My new blog is more focused on lifestyle rather than fashion and beauty. I am very passionate about it and so far it's going well!

If you would like to have a nose around you'll find the link to 'Jess said...' below.

I hope you like it and a follow would be hugely appreciated!!

Pink Hair Chalking

Hello! It seems that we're all still going mad for the dip dye! Since I've been there, done that, worn the t-shirt with the whole brown to blonde ombre look, I thought I'd give hair chalking a go instead :)
This was literally as easy as it sounds... hair (wet) + chalk = BAM, done.
I love the way it looks and hopefully it should wash out completely after a couple of washes so I can try even more colours!
If you're thinking of doing this yourself do not be tricked into buying 'special' hair chalk, this can be done with your standard chalk board chalk, usually available at any good stationers or supermarket :)
Good luck!! xx

Zelda Inspired Nails

Morning! So if you happen to know me, you might know that I'm a bit of a zelda nerd. As I've been loving Skyward Sword so much, I felt inspired to do this mani today! Hope you like it!

Festivals & What I Wore!

Hiiiii. As I've spent most of my summer 'festivalling' I thought I'd share with you what I wore to my most recent one, Redfest. Festival fashion is my favourite, it's basically an excuse to wear what ever you want. As you can see I didn't go too crazy... but I love seeing what everyone else is wearing at festivals:)

Outfit 1. For the first day of Redfest I wore my fail-safe, all time favourite Topshop denim shorts and paired them with this white top with a galaxy cross motif from New Look. As for footwear I had to wear my wellies for the whole weekend as it was so muddy!

Outfit 2. You may recognise this play suit from Topshop as it was featured in one of my recent posts. This is my favourite item for this summer, so simple and easy. In the evening I threw on a baggy black Topshop jersey over the top.

Outfit 3. This black dress is actually so old, it's from H&M and it always seems to creep back into my wardrobe every Summer... its so simple and comfortable in hot weather (which we were lucky enough to have!) here I wore it with my favourite scarf, if you know me you'll know I've been wearing this scarf practically every day this summer. I love the subtle skull detail and how lightweight it is, and the colour virtually goes with anything, and again that's from Topshop.

If you live in the Surrey/Kent area I would really recommend a visit to redfest next year! It's such a good bargain for the amount of music you get to see. My friends and I go every year and love it.

Galaxy Nails

 As I am a lover of all things sci-fi and 'out of this world', I couldn't help but notice the gorgeous galaxy nail trend that seems to be floating around the Internet at the moment. Really surprised how easy it was to get this effect! This is by the my most favourite nail art I've done.
Let me know if you would like to see a tutorial!! :)

On the subject of stars, I got my Astro Lamp in the post yesterday! wooo. My boyfriend and I put it together last night and it looks amazing. Star gazing in the bedroom!
