Catch a wave...

I have naturally wavy hair...I only discovered this a few weeks ago when I let it dry naturally. Turns out its not curly it's wavy, but because I have spent years dying it and generally not treating it very well it is somewhere between wavy...and an afro. So I decided to get a waving iron to give it a helping hand. Luckily I have A LOT of Boots points saved up so instead of having to spend my pennies on something I may end up not really using...I used my points. I settled for the Umberto Giannini Triple Barrel Ceramic Waving Iron, it originally cost £29.99 but it had £5 off so it cost me a total of 2499 points :) 

They are a little tricky to use in the beginning, I kept catching my hair on the outside but you get use to opening them up fully before clamping your hair. The main issue I found was that it took me aaaages (about 40 minutes) to do my whole head, that said though I do have a lot of hair and it is pretty long so it might just be something that comes with practice. 

Overall I'm quite happy with the results...its a bit different to my usual. I think it would look really nice with a centre parting and a head band, or on really long hair. I might give it a go with my extensions in...

Shiny Shoes...

Ok...so I have been stalking Topshop Ambush boots on eBay for a few weeks now. But I point blank refuse to pay £150 for a pair of boots that only cost £80 in store...no matter how pretty they are. Then I saw Jameela Jamil with the glitter?! ones on and suddenly £150 didn't seem like that much to ask. How to make something better...dip it in glitter(...new life motto). However I still managed to stand strong and resist buying them. 

Which was lucky because last week I was browsing eBay again (I think I have an addiction) and I came across these...Schuh Hamp Glitter Boots. I won them from Schuh Outlet for a grand total of £21 (inc p+p). Saving me £59...chuffed. They are almost identical to the Ambush boots, I think they have a slightly higher heel and they only have one zip but apart from that...I'm in love. I love Schuh Outlet...they have slightly damaged or last remaining offers that have a start bid of 99p, you can get yourself a good deal. The other good thing is that the heel is relatively low...when you are nearly 6ft it's hard to find nice shoes that don't make you look like your parents bathed you in miracle grow (I'm looking at you Litas).  

 Finally, I have to mention the sun...mainly because my skin is peeling right now (lovely, I know) and reminding me of the few days of summer we had. I have only just gotten use to summer dressing again...it's a hard transition because we rarely get to do it. So fingers crossed for more...
