willowandwander

I discovered this cute little label wanderandwillow via Instagram & fell inlove with their stuff. 

I am not a big jewellery person, if anything I mostly wear junk jewellery. Although if you haven't noticed from my Instagram, I do love a good choker or two. Or three, I mean really, what's an outfit without a choker? 

I received my new willowandwander  jewels in the mail & it felt like Christmas! Do yourself a favour & check them out.

GIRLZZZ GO GREY.

I've seen all kinds of trends come about over the years, I myself have even tried my luck at pink hair. Fashion & style generally goes around from era to era but I must say I can't think of a time where I've seen this new trend before! 

Lately I'm noticing it's all about the grey/silver blondes & I'm even seeing it come about in the salon. Adelaide can be very conservative so I get very excited when my clients come to me wanting something new! I've had some really good results & am eager to play around with it some more! Maybe I'll make poor old mum grow out those pesky greys that I've been covering up for years & it'll save me some time every 6 weeks! 😉 (only joking mum, your a bloody Saint) 

I must be honest though, before you try this colour you must consider ......

1) you must be white blonde! As I've said before with pastel colours, unless your white blonde you won't have a clean colour. You will be a mucky grey yellow if you attempt grey on top of brassy hair.

2) If you don't wear a lot of make up you may feel washed out, grey can be harsh on the complexion.

3) These super model bitches have faces of angels so before considering this look for yourself try to imagine how you would feel with this colour on YOUR head. What's your personal style? Will this suit your clothing etc?

4) invest in some strengthening shampoo & conditioner to keep that hair strong, I highly reccomend Kerestase because it is the greatest hair care brand of all time. (don't fight me on this) 

5) LOREAL SILVER TONING SHAMPOO🙌  it's a God sent & will keep that gold out!

Anyway, grey or not grey.. come see me at Hairmachine NorthAdelaide in the month of April & receive $40 off for a colour + cut. Book online but get in fast, limited spots available!📱

mourning mad march.

I am officially mourning mad March, we have well and truely ticked over to boring April. 

Goodbye to hot nights at the adelaide fringe, seeya later to sleeping in summer pjs with the fan on. No more pool parties! I'm droning on abit here aren't I but what can I say? I'm a summer gal, a water baby, an Aquarius through and through! 

I actually don't mind Autumn so much, the trees and flowers are pretty at this time of year. At least we still get lucky with some sunshine every now and then, I'll really get my violin out when winter comes. 

The one thing I do enjoy about the season change is... drum roll.... the fashion! (and of course the excuse to drink hot chocolate all day)

All jokes aside, my poor summer tan is starting to morph into a pasty glow so I find myself welcoming pant weather with open arms! My arms are also open to coloured and patterned stockings paired with long socks & cute knits.

grumpy blogger.

I'm feeling rather cranky because I just spent what felt like a life time writing a blog post that somehow got erased. I hate technology! I went into detail about what I got upto last year in the Hairmachine artistic team & how we worked really hard on several projects throughout the year.

Frustrating times, I kind of feel like that kid at school who claims their dog ate their homework. Except I don't have a dog & I don't goto school, I just don't know how to use this dang website. You will have to take my word that it was an entertaining & insightful bunch of words.

Moving on, below are the final product & some behind the scenes photos from a photoshoot we did last year. Donna from my salon, Monique from the Unley Hairmachine & myself worked very hard for several months to get our ideas together & this is what we came up with! Enjoy! Apologies for being a grump. 

Also a big thankyou to all the models, the photographer & helpers on the day, we couldn't have done it without you! xx

behind the scenes- 

can't stop with the opshop.

Now as much as I'd love to have all the money in the world for designer brands and new threads every week, unfortunately I don't live in la la land & a gals gotta pay her rent. 

I am here to confess, whole heartedly that half my wardrobe is infact pre loved goodness. 

Recently I've stumbled on afew goldmines.. I just can't resist stopping to have a peek when I drive past a Salvos or Red Cross. I spent a solid few hours scouring through each rack at the Savers and Vinnies down at Modbury. Patience really is the key, that and perhaps an odd/grandma sense of style. You just have to be creative with how you put things together, try to mimick some of the more expensive styles & put your own twist on it. ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
