Sorry I haven't posted in a while, but unfortunately i was suffering with writers block! However, I have a tonne of ideas now and should be posting more regularly.
There's a lot of great items in the shops and on line at the moment, so I thought I would share with you my wishlist.

Anyone who knows me knows I have an unhealthy obsession with socks, especially frilly ones as I can wear them with both my creepers and jelly sandals. At the moment, Topshop have a deal with most ankle socks. They are £3.50 each, or 3 pairs for £8 which I think is great, so I've picked out three pairs I need to buy, a lilac pair, a pale blue pair and a reverse spotted pair.

Also from Topshop, I have found a pair of sunglasses that I love for £20. I recently lost my aviators, but I think it's time for a change, so I've been looking for some round shades, and these are perfect, especially because my favorite colour is purple

The next three items on my list are from New look. The first is a black handbag, as believe it or not, I don't actually have one, because I'm more of a backpack person. However, I've decided I need one for going out shopping or to the pub etc. and this one is perfect at £24.99

I hate open toe sandals, so the new caged gladiator sandal trend that is coming in is perfect for me, and I've absolutely fallen in love with this pair which are £27.99

I've also been looking for a new pair of jeans, and I'm loving mom-jean recently, and at £26.99, these ones are perfect for me

From Forever 21, I found a pair of tribal print black shorts, as I don't have a pair of black shorts. These are £12.75, which is an absolute bargain, and I think the stripe down the side makes them stand out a bit more than your average shorts

The next two items are from a shop on Etsy called Sorayraya, who I actually found on Tumblr, and I think her pieces are quirky and cute. The first is this clear choker with gold studs, which is simple yet slightly edgy, and only at £8.99

The secon item from her shop is a pair of daisy sunglasses which are £14.99, and I really like these as daisies are my favourite flower

From a different shop, I found a new phone case, as unfortunately I broke my TARDIS one (boo). However, the one I have found is only £8.89, and is Batman riding a unicorn, which is so awesome, and from the shop Cocoyua

The final item on my wishlist is the classic nineties choker, which is on Amazon for £3.99. I've wanted one for ages, and I might actually order one this week...

Hopefully I'll be blogging a lot more now I have some ideas, so I'll be posting How To's, DIY's, Outfit of the Day's and a lot more! Thank you for reading.

The other day, I was thinking about how many times I have dyed my hair, and I worked out that I've had a lot. When I was a baby, I had jet black hair

But as I got older, I had light brown hair with natural highlights, which I know people pay a lot for in the salon, and sometimes I do regret dying it, but I am one for bright hair

In 2010, the first colour I tried was red, but all I can find is photos of it when it had faded, which is lucky for me as I was little embarrassing on photos when I was younger

But as it started to fade in 2011, I got bored (the main reason that I dye my hair is because I get bored of a colour). I ended up with a golden-yellow blonde, due to the faded colour underneath

After this, in the September of 2011, I decided that I wanted to go black. I bought a dye that was supposed to put a blue tint in my hair. However, I didn't think that the blue might come out stronger, considering I had such a light colour before (This is the best photo I have)

Unfortunately, the blue started to fade, and, to be honest, my hair was a mess. But I didn't want to ruin my hair by lightening it again, so i let the blue fade as much as I could through the first few months of 2012

But obviously for my prom in May 2012, I wanted my hair to be as nice as possible, so I then dyed my hair brown

But, of course, I got bored again, so I first dyed my hair a darker red, and then a brighter red and dip dyed it black

 As the two colours faded, and the dip dye grew out, I had a very weird red colour with dark ends going on

And, once again, I got bored. At the start of summer in 2012, I decided that I wasn't going to do things half way, so I dyed my hair bright red, and kept it that way for just over a year. At one stage I also dip dyed it purple, but that didn't last long

But constantly dying my hair red was doing it no good, so i tried to go brown as I figured that it wouldn't need much up keep, but it went a strange browny-red

Then, in summer 2013 I had a slight accident. I bought a "chocolate brown" hair dye. But when it was developing on my head, I noticed it was going similar to how my mum's hair goes. When I dyed it black. But by that point, it was too late to go back, so I let it develop for the time, and I ended up with black hair. I tried putting a few dreads in it at one stage, but they failed a bit so I took them out

After a while, I then dip dyed the black, and it went a strange colour, that wasn't ginger, but I can't describe it any other way

If anyone knows me, they know I am emotionally attached to having red hair, so guess what colour I went next?

This year, I then decided that I wanted to go pink. I ended up ginger

So, in my wisdom, I decided to lighten it again. But, as you'll see in the next photo, my hair went like straw and started snapping off, and as someone who loves her hair, I'll admit I cried

So I went to the hairdresser in a panic, and got it cut short, and I've been conditioning it loads and now my hair is okay to put a semi-permanent dye on, which I'm doing in a couple of weeks

And who knows what colour my hair will be in another 4 years, that is if I have any left...

Sorry that I haven't posted anything in a while, I've been so busy with my college work that I just haven't had the time, but hopefully I can now start posting more because the main chunk of my coursework has been done.
These are just some things that I have in my room that I think are cute, I've been collecting things over a couple of years, and although I don't have everything I want yet, I'm still pleased with what I have so far.

Around my bed, I have some fairy lights that have balls covered in cotton on them. These are great as I have a huge phobia of the dark, so I can leave them on over night. I think they look really pretty wrapped around my day bed, and sometimes I don't even need my actual light on as these are enough.
I bought mine from Ebay:

Round the end of my bed, I have some prayer flags that I bought from Hay-On-Wye on the border of Wales. I bought them because I think they look pretty, but also because I am fascinated by the Buddhist religion.
I can't find a website I bought them from, but here's an Ebay link, and these ones cost roughly the same as mine:

On the wall opposite my bed, I have my memory board. It's a great alternative to a scrapbook as it doubles up as a decoration. I have everything from photos to wristbands to just little bits that I've collected from being out and about.
To get started, all you need is a notice board and some pins:

Because my room is wallpapered, I can't really put anything on my walls. But down the one door of my wardrobe, I've put different pictures and quotes that I have saved from my Tumblr. I still need to finish this door off, and then I will start on the other door. I think it's a great alternative if you can't put posters or things on your wall.

I don't have a regular light shade, I have a paper star shade that i got from the German Market in Birmingham. It's simple: you unfold the star, pull the string, and hey presto, you've got yourself a light shade. The only issue that I have with it is some bulbs can be too dark, so you need quite a high wattage bulb.
To buy one from Amazon:

I apologise for the selfie
My mirror is essentially like my memory board, with little bits I have collected. I have cinema tickets down the one side, a row of Euro coins, even a guardian angel necklace from my Mum. I'm a sucker for memories, so I like to have them displayed as much as I can
These are like the mirrors I have, but I only have two:

The last part of my room is an old bar stool from the shed that my Grandad chopped the legs off and painted purple to make a bedside table. On it, I keep a candle, a lighter for the candle, some pens, hair grips and my watch.
