OOTD | Flirty florals

Soap and Glory hair supply
My sister gave me this travel sized Soap and glory hair supply to try out, before then i wasn't even aware that soap and glory did hair products,seriously. I would never have opted for this before hand as i always associate soap and glory with shower gels,scrubs etc and just kinda think stick with what you know?! Anyway, here is my verdict.
Soap and glory products all have that distinctive floral scent, i sort of like it but for someone who has sensitive skin i don't usually like using products with a fragrance. Anyway,this hair mask is no different, i love the consistency of this when i apply it to my hair,it says to massage it from roots to tips but for me i would look like a big grease ball if i did so, so i applied a generous amount to the mid to end lengths of my hair. When i had applied it and combed it through my hair felt so sleek and soft, it suggests leaving it on for 60 seconds but if you're like me and like a more intensive mask i leave it on while i'm having a soak in the bath.
After washing it off my hair it did feel super soft and more manageable with no tangles. I liked the product but i kept smelling the product on my hair even after washing it off thoroughly, which isn't a bad thing but for me it was too strong a smell. My hair the next day was also really fluffy, so for me i wouldn't purchase this product again,it may just be because my hair is so long and it needs something that is more moisturising. But for someone with shorter hair this product is probably perfect, and at least i gave it a go! But It definitely doesn't change my opinion on their other products which i will always keep repurchasing!
Have you tried any hair products from soap and glory? What do you think of this product?

OOTD | The last days of summer
Top - Bank// Skirt-Jack Wills// Sunglasses - Urban Outfitters// Sandals - Topshop// Necklace - Miss Selfridge// Watch - Michael Kors
So its now September,which means the countdown to Christmas can begin and the cold weather will start to set in. But at the moment its surprisingly still quite warm where i live (Plymouth) so i am taking full opportunity of still being able to wear a skirt with no tights!
I bought this skirt at the start of the summer from Jack Wills but i haven't really had much wear out of it, i love the floral pattern though and it has strands of gold ribbon running through it which makes it slightly different to the standard floral design. Since forever i have been wanting an off the shoulder black crop top and i finally found one in the bank sale for only £5, so it had to be mine. Black literally goes with everything and this will be a firm staple of clothing for nights out teamed with bright/patterned bottoms!
These sandals have appeared in my outfit posts before but i love them so much, they are so versatile and go with ALL of my outfits, you have to love tanned colour items. So now I'm getting the most wear out of them i can until its too cold and not acceptable to be wearing them anymore!
What do you think of this outfit? Do you own anything similar?

DIY | Transforming a plain black dress.
If you've read my post on my upcycled denim shorts you'll know that i love updating an old outfit or transforming a new one. I had a black sundress from Topshop which has been sitting in my wardrobe for ages,it wasn't that i didn't like it,it just looked really plain. While i was on holiday and the cruise stopped of in Palma de Mallorca for the day we went in El Corte Ingles,for those of you who haven't heard of it before its a massive department store that is largely populated across Spain, its the answer to our John Lewis and Selfridges. In the haberdashery section i found some gorgeous ribbons,which i have never seen anything like before in the UK to buy. I picked this ribbon because of the gorgeous colours running through the flowers,it also reminded me of all of the floral crowns that are in the shops at the moment. For a metre of the ribbon it only set me back 6 euros,so i was very pleased with this purchase!
This was really simple to do! I simply measured how much of the ribbon i needed for each pocket,pinned it onto the fabric and then sewed it by hand with black thread so it wouldn't be seen to the eye. I haven't added much to the dress yet its given it a nice pop of colour to make the outfit look more eye catching!
