STYLE CLASSICS TO BUY IN THE JANUARY SALES

The sales are either a good place to buy two types of purchase - crazy trends for dirt cheap, or style classics that won't be reduced greatly but can be worn again and again.  With limited wardrobe space, the latter is definitely my priority, so I have put together an edit of some of my favourite staples to buy in the January sales. Leather, striped t-shirts, navy coats, blue shirts, jumper dresses, you can't go wrong when investing in wear-forever pieces: 


LEATHER & SUEDE:



FINE JEWELLERY: 


BRETON TOP:



NAVY COAT:



BLUE SHIRT:

WHY DYING MY HAIR RED WAS ONE OF THE BEST THINGS I’VE DONE FOR MY CONFIDENCE

Four years ago, I made my most drastic image change to date, dying my hair a vivid hue of auburn red with the help of Headmasters (you can read the original post here to see the transformation in full). It was something I had wanted to do in forever, but hairdressers had always advised against, on the basis that reaching for the bleach could seriously damage my hair. 

Then, (to cut a long story short) my long-term boyfriend ended things, out of the blue - and like so many post-break up, I felt the need for a drastic image overhaul. It’s at this point that experts would probably advise against cultivating a new look, arguing it’s not possible to make balanced judgements when your life is in free fall.

My only regret? Not taking the plunge sooner.
