Everything Was All Violet




Shirt - American Apparel
Body - Topshop
Shorts - Topshop
Tights - Primark
Headband - Primark
Necklace - Italy
Ring - JWLRY

So today I finally dyed my hair lilac! Last night I decided that I was bored of my hair colour being literally the same as my skin colour; without makeup I often looked like a ghost! This morning I mixed half a tub of Directions lilac hair dye with some James Brown conditioner and this is how it turned out. I'm surprised at how natural it looks on me for it being a completely unnatural colour. Its very patchy but I wasn't expecting any different. Theres a reason why I haven't dyed my hair at home since I was about 14! Plus I only left it on for about 15 mins.

I really love this sheer black shirt from American Apparel. It photographs really badly but it looks lovely in real life. I feel like I could wear it with anything. Today I'm wearing it with my high waisted shorts and a leopard print body underneath. You can't really see the leopard print from underneath here, thats another reason why this outfit looks better in person. I finally got some of those floral headbands from Primark. My local Primark has sorted itself out a bit and got some good stock in for once. This daisy one is my fave. I never want to take it off!


I didn't really do much today other than food shopping and dying my hair. I did however make some rather amazing fudge! As soon as I saw the microwave fudge recipe featured on Lipglossiping I knew I had to make some. I decided to subsitiute the Baileys for some cherries. Cherry fudge is one of my favourite treats ever but hardly anywhere seems to sell it. I did manage to find some in Meadowhall but it was like 3 quid for a couple of tiny slices. I remember when I was younger I often tried to get my mum to make some cherry fudge but it always either turned into inedible rocks or sludge you had to eat with a spoon. So when I made this earlier I was seriously amazed at how easy it was and how well the fudge turned out. It makes me so happy knowing that theres a tub full of delicious cherry fudge that I made all by myself sitting upstairs in the kitchen. Shame that I'll end up eating it all by myself and gain about 5lbs...

    I always end up doing that, I made a tray of flapjack the other day which came out a bit wrong, so I shamefully sat and ate it with a spoon.

    I do love your hair, is it permanent?

    Your hair looks absolutely gorgeous! It's such a cute shade of lilac. :) I love how it looks so soft and subtle, but like a lot of fun at the same time.

    I love sheer shirts! I think they can be quite daring, but also really sophisticated. Loving the headband too! So summery and hippie-like, hehe.

    You look gorgeous Caroline! :) That colour suits you so much. Good to hear the fudge recipe was nice, I saw it on Lipglossiping too but didnt know whether to try it or not! I don't like baileys, so cherries sound like an awesome idea xx

    Your fudge looks AMAZING. I've never had cherry fusge, but blatantly going to be trying this as a petit four for the dinner I'm making on Thurs. LOVE the hair, wish I could pull something like that off. LOVELOVELOVE your shorts/shirt combo. In short, I don't think there's anything I don't love about this!
