2016 to 2017!

This post is probably going to be like many others that bloggers right around this time.

 To sum most of this year up in a word I'm going to say shit, I don't mean to offend anyone, buts that's how it is. There is no need to get into too many details but my mental health has deteriorated and I've made mistake after mistake. 

HOWEVER, and I love saying that because it means I have hope. And I do. In the last month I have been trying to make improvements to myself and for once it has worked out. I have found some inspiration to do work and blog. I am putting all of this into starting 2017 because I have neglected this blog and it really hurt because it got to the point where I couldn't even enjoy my creative outlet. I am going to make a serious effort this year to make up for my neglect. 

*Blushes* I have also met someone and I am currently in an amazingly happy relationship. I wish you could see me grinning ear to ear as I write that, because when you have the mental issues that I have you don't believe that you can be happy, but that has changed! 

So bring on 2017!!!

I hope you have the nest new years!!

Henna Hair.

Because its spring even though it snowed this morning?!! In April! Why?! Anyway I digress, because its spring I wanted to pay with my hair, so I ended up stealing my sister's henna with her permission, so its not really stealing. 

However I didn't know what colour it would be because it no longer had the label so it was a bit of a gamble. Thankfully it payed off.

It you want to Henna your hair then leave a full day for it or an evening, but if you do it in the evening then you will have to sleep in it. So it depends on how much you value your bed sheets. It doesn't work as quick as normal dye because it is more natural so it has to develop for longer, but its worth it as it leaves your hair with a beautiful natural colour and a lovely glossy shine. 

Having someone who can help you apply it can be helpful because of the mess and they can see if you've missed any spots. However I wouldn't go out with this look as you can see from the picture below that you have to wrap your head in cling film which isn't very flattering. 

The instructions are really clear though so anyone can do it, 

Henna from Lush.

Wonderful Winter Blue Boots.

             Happy new year! So, this is the post of 2016 even though I sort of wrote in 2015 ,but oh well.

For Christmas my lovely Dad bought some shoes that I have been lusting over for ages. they are from the website Deichmann shoes. The website is full of beautiful shoes for men, women and children at really affordable prices. In the winter I tend to mostly wear boots as the ground is wet and muddy, so all my boots have gotten a little worn and a bit dirty. Therefore I wanted something more special which came in the form of these Graceland navy blue ankle boots. The collection edited by Hanneli Mustaparta is exclusively online.

If you have ever heard of Hanneli you know that she is serious in the fashion world as she has worked for vogue and her blog is stunning. She helped collaborate in Autumn of last year with Deichmann, so I am a bit behind talking about them, but I just know that these are going to serve me well. I don't need many practical elements to my shoes at the moment, so I'm not worried about the heel even though it is one of the most comfortable heels I have ever worn. Some may disagree, but I cannot see the problem with after walking round in them for hours and hours. The pointed toe really flatter my feet and I just think that they are so fashionable for a women at any age. 

           

Everything about the design is perfect for me from the gold of the zip to the heel size, but I think the best part is the colour. I wear so much navy and dark blue that its hard to find an outfit that does not compliment these boots. I wore my trusty new look coat that I've in a few blog posts now with a plain, but classic polo neck top from Nobody's child that I also bought in black, so I wear them all the time and  there is no surprise that I am wearing my Foxford scarf. I visited Foxford again a couple of weeks ago and had to really restrain myself from buying more scarfs. 

                                     

                                             

Even though my bag is looking a little ruff around the edges it has done me well as it was my school bag for years.  It is from The Cambridge Satchel Company and I think it is my most used bag because the classic design is practical and so wearable. I really should buy another,but I don't know if I could ever replace my trusty navy blue satchel as we have quite a bond now. 

What are your favorite shoes?
