Monochrome Madness

This is an outfit I actually wore a while ago but completely forgot about that I thought I would share :)

I also ombre-d my hair, and I absolutely love it, I've had it for around a month now, and I still love how much... zest (?) it adds to my hair. I love tying it up in a bun, because the blonde and the brown really contrast with each other, curling it looks really cool too! :) 

I wore a simple cat-eye eyeliner, with a pale grey shadow all across the lid, I'm wearing a red lipgloss/stick/stain by YSL and I love it, it really is my 'go-to' lipstick, it's pretty pricey but Rimmel have just come out with their Apocalypse liq laquer, and you can get it in red which is basically the same formulation. 

 I wore my black lace skirt (New Look) with a simple black tank top (H&M) and my black and white striped blazer (Forever 21). I am really loving monochrome stripes at the moment, I just can't seem to get enough! I accessorised with black studded sandals (Bershka?), Annie Haak Guardian Angel bracelets and my Swatch watch for a pop of colour!

(it looks kind of orange-y here,  but I think it's the light, it's actually a lot more blonde)

I did use bleach on my hair, but I had an amazing hairdresser that Kieren from Style By Kieren advised me to use, and my hair doesn't feel any different from before I bleached it. I deep condition it once a week using Macadamia's 'Deep Repair Masque', (I couldn't find it out here so ordered it on Amazon and got my Nan to bring it out when she came), I use Lee Strafford's 'Bleach Blonde' shampoo and conditioner once a week to knock away the brassy tones, and I apply Redken's 'All Soft Argan Oil' daily, which really is amazing, it does everything you need it to, and before I straighten my hair I use Andrew Barton's 'The Straight Answer' hot iron protection spray. :)
