My Rollercoaster

dungarees skirt from portobello market, cap from asos, bag from MIMCO.

I was too lazy to go through the picture selection process, so I decided to post all of them, well actually I took a few more in a fun fair, but it would be a lot to upload. I went to Hampstead Heath today and, oh what I lovely sunny day, a bit windy though. I had candy floss, burgers + soda , yeah healthy eating hah.

On my desk

I recently received a pack from MIMCO with lovely things as you can see in the first picture,which includes camera filters and vougues pattern pack, plus a fantastic bag which I will be showing you guys soon. These are the things I have lying on my desk at the moment, along with my unfinished boring drawings ha!

Flashback Friday: Barrell Roll Bun

Even at age 4 she was into looking "elegant".  This is a really simple bun that gives that "wow" effect. 

Start with wet hair and pull it all up into a high ponytail.  Now divide the ponytail into 6 even pieces.  Comb each piece straight up in the air and then roll it down - over itself - into the head.  Secure it into place with bobby pins. 

 Do that for ever piece and then you can place a ribbon around the bun or flowers in it like we've done here.  These are little spiral clips that we just twisted into the top of the bun.

A Little Something EGGstra

We first saw this hairstyle last year over at Cute Girl Hairstyles.  I've been dying to try it ever since but I had to wait for Easter to come back around.  :) 

Start off by parting the hair down the middle.  We've used a zig-zag part but any part will work.  Now secure each side with an elastic so that you now have two piggies. 

 Choose your colors of eggs that you will be using before hand and try to have the same colors of elastics.  If you don't have coordinating elastics you can use clear ones.  Also, my princess has pretty long hair so we were able to fit 3 eggs on each side but you can also use two or only one. 

Begin with one side and then just repeat the steps on the second side once the first is finished.  Separate the ponytail into 5 equal sections and tie an elastic around each section - about 1/2 inch below the original elastic. 

This is where I changed it up a bit and added a second layer of elastics for each egg.  Using the netting effect, add five more elastics another 1/2 inch down. 

 Once all 10 colored elastics are in, you can slide your egg into place.  Gather all the hair together under the egg and secure it in with another elastic.  Now you're ready to move onto the next color. 

Simply repeat the steps with the elastics, place your egg and secure it again by gathering all the hair under the egg and tying in an elastic.  Do the same for your third egg if you have one and you are all finished! 

This hairstyle was a real hit at school and she was even able to use it a second day.  We just removed the eggs and she had really cool netted ponytails.

  Also, here are some fun Easter clips that we made and you can use any ideas that you like!

Rock Star

My daughter had a "Rock Star" day at school this past week and here is the hairstyle we did.

We've done this faux-hawk style before but we've tweaked it a bit with some faux hair for a fun rock star look.

Start by dividing the hair into 4 parallel sections horizontally across the head.  Gather each section up into it's own ponytail in the very center.  This will give you a row of 4 ponytails. 

Grab some faux-hair clips and clip one underneath each elastic.  Pull the colored hair up through the elastic just to secure it tightly.   

Now you're going to wet each ponytail down really well and Barrel Roll them.  To Barrel Roll you will comb the ponytail straight up into the air and then wrap the ends around your two index fingers.  Now roll your index fingers over each other down towards the scalp.  This will roll the hair nice and evenly for you. 

Secure your Barrel Roll down into the hair with a bobby in on each side creating an "X" inside the roll.

  Do this with your 3 other ponytails as well. 

You will end up with a Mohawk look going down the head.   You want your colors to look more random and not perfectly placed.

Few pictures I took inside the National history museum.

I guess I'm blogging too much, but this frequency won't last longer due to the fact that I have temporary internet access. Anyway I guess I've been inspired lately, probably because the days are sunny now.
