Style Post

Hello beautiful beings!

I'm one of those people that don't really experiment with clothing. I tend to find a style or particular clothing combination that I like and stick to it. I thought this was a bad thing, however on reflection, why should it be? Clothes should be a way of reflecting yourself and if you want to wear that same thing everyday then great! So instead of thinking that I wear the same thing every day, I've learnt to embrace my style. I know I like wearing outfits that are a bit preppy and my favourite look at the moment is a floral skirt and thick tights/leggings with some ankle boots and a shirt. I know that will change and I'll be into wearing something else in a months time and I'm okay with that. Am I the only one who seems to stick to one style? What's your favourite look to wear right now?

Love Just Al xx

How to Make a Bow out of Your Own Hair!

Hi there! 

I hope you have had a fabulous day. Here in England the sky has been grey and it's been raining all day. I've managed to cheer myself up, despite the miserable weather, by doing a bit of shopping with my mum this morning and then painted her nails for her. This afternoon, I got quite bored so I ended up playing with my hair! (Am I the only one who does this?!) I experimented a little bit and ended up doing this bow from my own hair by accident! It was so easy to do and looks so cute that I thought I would share it with you all! (P.S Sorry about the terrible pictures! It was hard to do with one hand!)

1. Start off doing the same motions as if you were putting your hair into a high ponytail on the top of your head. Make a loop of your hair with the remainder of your hair facing your face. The bigger the loop, the bigger the bow!

2. Split the loop in half and put the remainder of the hair through the middle. I then put that bit of hair through the bobble at the back but you can grip it instead if you like! And that's it folks! Super easy right?! However re-reading my instructions, I seemed to have made it more complicated than what it is! Just keep playing around and hopefully you will get it! And if in doubt, there is always YouTube right? ;) 

I think this hairstyle would also look great on a hair-up/hair-down style and also as a miniature on the side of your head!

Happy Monday!

Love, Just Al Dreamer (Alex Shinnick)

Flying out of the Nest

Hello there! I feel like I haven't posted for a long time :( Sorry if you feel like I have abandoned you but that is not the case! I just have been super super busy at the moment. Why? Because I am officially leaving the nest and flying out into the big, scary world in just a few days! EEEKK! Yes, I am departing from the comforts of my lovely home to go to University. But, I've decided I'm not going alone. Instead I am taking you with me! As I plan to start a new chapter in my life, I have decided to start a new chapter on my blog as well. I plan to document my student life on my blog in a new 'Student Chronicle'. The first section will be all about my university room hauls, then to night-life, fashion and finally the actual studying! So what do you say? Are you ready to enter the big wide world with me? Then let's beginnnn!!!!!

A Night In Town Outfit Choices

Hi guys! How are you?
I'm going into town tomorrow night with my best girlfriends for some drinks and a bit of night clubbing. But I need your advice on which outfit I should wear!
I brought some cute wedges today so would like to wear them but which outfit do they go better with? Should I play it sassy and sexy it cute and girly? 

I need you! Just post a comment down below which outfit you prefer or maybe you might have another suggestion?

Thanks, you lifesaver!
