Claire's Cat-Eyes & Frizzy Fish-Braid

While I was in Portsmouth at the weekend, we popped into Claire's Accessories to get my younger sister a pair of sunglasses. This place used to be my haven when I was her age, I could spend hours in there much to my parents' dismay. While looking at sunnies for my sister I spotted a pair of cat-eye's that madly enough are probably the best one's I have found as of yet on the high street. They were only £5 so I went ahead and bought them, despite the fact my sister thought I was joking around when I picked them up...

Today I also finally taught myself to do fish-tail plaits. I've tried and failed before when reading instructions, but today I Googled it and used one of the video results instead. I picked it up in minutes! The heat in London right now is pretty insane - nice if you're chilling in the park, not so nice if you're running around doing errands or working/commuting. This little plait is a nice alternative to the usual quick regular braid I would do to my hair and means I can go without straightening it, which would be a complete waste of time with the current weather anyway.

Yeah so when my hair is down and curly it looks like I have a ton, but really there's not many strands at all ^

Summer Hair

I always feel inclined to ditch the ghd's and go au naturel when the temperatures start rising, and these are all way too cute for me to just leave my hair to do its own thing. In case it wasn't apparent, yes I will be spending every rainy day for the next few months practicing french and fishbraid plaits...
