I will be wearing Burgondy in London

Hiiiiii, it's now really early in the morning (I sound awake but trust me I'm not) and I'm all packed and set to go. I will leave the house in a few minutes for.... LONDON! I'm so exited! My last London visit feels like ages ago so I was totally stoked when Miista invited me over for a fun shoe-infused week. Besides visiting Miista I will get to see my English Blogger Friends and of course get to do all the London and Fun related things! It's going to be so good!

I figured this blog post would be a good introduction of my new Miista's (yes, obviously I'm a fan) Burgundy Mia boots, I will be wearing them in London soooooon whoohooo

OUTFIT: Procreating Mohair Jumper

Favorite Knit ever! Mohair! only...... the jumper leaves a trail of pink fluff, really nothing is safe. My black coat? Has a soft layer of pink mohair, my black jeans? covered in pink plush, really it's everywhere! Maybe it's the H&M quality or its just the way Mohair jumpers in general decide to procreate.

wearing: H&M Mohair jumper and skirt, Converse all stars, Vintage Chanel bag.

OUTFIT: Winter Whites

It's still Fall but secretly I'm already longing for this Winter with it's snow, hot chocolate, layers and layers of knitwear, ice-skating and all that other Winter fun. I guess it's because it became really cold the past week and it's getting really early dark in the evenings, sadly instead of snow there is lots and lots of rain, rain and gray skies but even that has it's charm!

Big Beautiful Hair Tutorials

(photos via pinterest)

I love big beautiful hair, whether it be in a lush 60s bouffant, a teased updo or with big curls! For a lot of us a full gorgeous locks don't come natural and for those who are blessed with thick hair it might be hard to keep the locks from weighing down and create some controlled chaos ;) So behold my favorite tutorials for big beaut Hair including the 2 tutorials I have been using for creating new voluminous waves myself! 

1) The Daily Desh ~ Hair Volume

I actually start off with a tutorial (and a lovely blog post) that isn't necessarily for me since I have naturally very fine and thin hair. This tutorial is for those with thick hair and want to create some order in the chaos! I do really love the result, it's kind of how I look after going to my hair stylist, who creates this look on my hair simply with some products and a blowdryer but I never managed to get the look right myself! (one day I will haha)

2) Kevin Murphy ~ Powder Puff

Here is where the Magic starts! I use the Kevin Murphy Powder Puff myself and I seriously love it, can't live without it! When using the powder on my roots (and after scrunching it up) there is volume! Like real volume, magic! Sometimes I do set the created volume with some hairspray and other days I just fluff it up a few times during the day! I discovered that by using the powder on more sections at the roots it created far more volume and with my fine hair I managed to be very close at a beaut big 60s hair at my very first try, wooha! I also use the powder before setting curls!

ps. Other powders are the Osis Dust it, Lanza Powder up and Big Sexy Hair Powder Play!

3) This Chicks Got Style ~ Bouncy Curls

For all those that asked me about my hair, It was Yara from thischicksgotstyle who started styling my hair in New York and was patient enough to teach me how to do it myself! I'm so happy she made this tutorial because I can honestly say (working with this myself) that its really good and dummy proof ;) In the end it so happens that I hadn't been paying enough of attention and haven't done my hair how I was supposed to be doing it haha but close enough ;) (I personally make a side section and use the powder puff instead of teasing!) Besides curls (obviously) this tutorial creates big voluminous hair for those like me with fine thin hair! Oh, and did I tell you that the curls really stay in place the whole day? Yes, they do!

4) Nasty Gal ~ Big Messy Waves

I think the easiest way to go for some volume are big "bedhead" messy waves! Personally I'm really hesitant to use spray wax but I am all about crunching my hair by making buns and then fixing them with hairspray! This tutorial might be the easiest to start off with but didn't created the magic effect I was looking for myself.

5) Modcloth Blog ~ Bouffant Hair

The Bouffant is big on my wish list and this is the tutorial I will use to try it myself, although I haven't thick hair! (I will start off with creating volume ~ and maybe some bedhead waves, with the Powder Puff and curl iron myself!) Basically for Big hair it's all about teasing your hair, maybe using sea salt spray and loads of hairspray but to be honest I always try to avoid these three at all costs myself and opt instead in on the powders, blow dryer and curl iron, oh I do use loads of hairspray actually but I use an equal amount of conditioner afterwards ;)

Of course I had more favorite outfits haha but these looked the best together and stand for what has really on my mind lately (styling wise) I have been really into black, light blue and dark inky colors with heavy detailing like studs set against silks and mohair knits. Another big change this month has been my hair of course! Oh, and next color on my list is Burgundy Red!
