Winter wants: Jumpers and jackets

So recently I have been so excited for autumn/winter, especially after Wednesdays blogger chat on Twitter! I just can't wait to wear jumpers, coats, hats, scarves and lots of cosy things. I've been doing a bit of window shopping online (and trying super hard not to spend loads of money!) so I thought I would put together a bit of a wishlist. This wishlist is obviously just jumpers and jackets but I may do other winter wishlists such as boots or bottoms.

My favourite item is probably the Asos pink/red coat, I love the fabric contrast and the colour! What's your favourite item from this wishlist?

THAT skort (well an ebay version)

(Excuse club photos, as usual left in a rush so got my friend to take photos in the middle of the dance floor ha!)

Good evening!

If you havn't seen this style of Skort floating about blogger world, you must have been hiding under a rock. I have a huge obsession with shorts and I love things that are a slightly different shape instead of the standard thing, so this was straight on my list! 

The original version of this is from Zara and I think around £45 which is fairly expensive, but I found this one on Ebay for about £8 including postage. I also LOVE the pattern on this, I'd only seen plain black or white but when I spotted this I knew it was my thing. As I said, I like things different to the standard! However I do now want the black and white ones...

Everyone seems to absolutely love these skorts but I can see why, the pointed front makes your legs look much longer and thinner. I also like that it's slightly high waisted as i'm not a fan of my stomach. I'm not usually one to wear a tight top with my stomach out but this really helped make my body look a bit better! I was also a bit brave as half of my scar was showing in this, you can kind of see in the photos, on my left side.

Top - Primark
Necklace - Primark
Skort - Ebay
Bag - Primark

Okay so until I just wrote that I didn't realise how much Primark I was wearing, such a cheap outfit haha! If you want a Skort like this I would definitely recommend taking a look on Ebay, there is plenty on there for much, much cheaper than Zara and mine was from an English seller so didn't take long at all to arrive. I also found this very true to size, which can sometimes be a problem with Ebay!

Do you have a Skort? Are you lusting after one? Or are you just not catching on to the trend!

John Freida: Sheer Blonde conditioning treatment

Hello ladies!

So as is fairly obvious, I have veeery blonde hair, almost white. I love having bright blonde hair but with that, comes lots of damage! Bleaching is not a good thing to do to your hair but it's the only way to achieve this colour. However now i'm working full time I have moved on from box bleach and get it done at the salon, much to my hairs delight. So seeing as I strip my hair of it's goodness every few months, i've been really into hair masques and treatments recently to try and replenish it.

Alongside using a LOT less heat on my hair, i've been trying a whole load of treatments and this one has come up trumps (that is the right saying right?). This is actually one my friend bought me for my birthday but can be purchased in Boots for £5.99 and they often have deals on such as 3 for 2 or 3 for £10 etc.

So on first impressions, you open the pot and are greeted by the nicest smell. I have no idea what the smell is, I wouldn't say it's fruity but it smells damn good and isn't too overpowering and sickly. It's a creamy consistency and not too thick so it's super easy to apply to your hair. I apply it when i'm in the bath or shower, pop my hair in a bun whilst I wash all the rest of me and then rinse it out. I always do my hair first so I can leave treatments on for as long as possible without having to get out and back in!

This is the best treatment i've used in quite a while. This leaves my hair so soft and silky and even feels a lot softer whilst it's still wet. It's less tangly and more manageable and something I have never ever had with my hair, it makes it so shiny it actually reflects light. I always thought that was only possible on brown hair or in adverts, but this bad boy gives me that! I've used this probably about 5 times now and i've only used a third of the pot so it's also going to last me a while! The only downside, I wouldn't actually say this does anything towards brightening my blonde hair despite it being specifically for blondes. However, it's definitely worth it for the conditioning properties.

PROS:
-Smells good
-Reasonable price
-Easy to use
-Silky, shiny hair

CONS:
-Blondes specific
-Doesn't brighten my blonde

Overall, I would definitely repurchase this product and recommend it if you want silky, shiny hair. It is a specific blonde product but maybe it would still be fine to use on brown hair? I'm not sure, but if you can, give it a go!
