absolutely floor-less.

despite the maxi trend to have been circulating now for a good few seasons, i have been avoiding its long lengthed ways like how a fat kid avoids lettuce. yes, the maxi trend was definitely not for me, mainly due the length being loved and adored by the ederly in society, leaving me determined to stick to my mini mini ways. however, due to the fact that the maxi has remained stubborn and has fought for its place on many catwalks and high street stores, i decided that maybe it is about time that i let loose and gave it a chance. and thats when i walked into american apparel.

greeted by a stunning floor length camel delight, i couldn't resist and it was so that my obsession for the maxi was born. utterly effortless, beautifully comfortable and suprisingly versatile, this is a style that can be worn (and pardon the shakira reference) 'whenever, wherever'.

it has fast become the gypsetters best friend; perfect for wearing on a beach, roaming a turkish market or sipping long island teas at night, it can do it all. so drop the hems fellow gypsys, this is

the summer to fall to the floor.

dipping in to hair trends.

hair trends may come and go but my style always stays the same.

it has to be said, i am a complete bore when it comes to changing my hairstyle. i fear the hairdressers as though it was a crofts show, ready to preen me like an overdone poodle and fill my ears with unnecessary barking's about tenerife.

nope, i'm the kind of girl who just asks for "a little trim, no not that much!" in the hope that i'm in and out within 10 minutes. plus, i've never really been into hair trends. i always think they make you look like a try-hard, leaving you to come across as a real high maintenance kinda girl. definitely not my style. however, there has been a hair trend that seems to be exploding everywhere and this is, quite simply, to dye for...dip-dye to be precise.

the look, which was pioneered by alexa chung, resembles out grown roots, managing to look shabby and chic transforming even the most pristine outfit into one that looks effortlessly cool (think more rachel bilson as opposed to shakira though).

you will be finding me braving the hairdressers for this style, even if it does entail an hour and half of boredome. i'm already preparing past zante tales to exchange...
