My Lilac Hair.

These photographs were all taken within the time I dyed my hair lilac on the 6th January. The first photo is from when I dyed it the first time with Directions in Lilac and the rest are after I dyed it again using Stargazer in Violet. I had dyed it again because the lilac colour in the Directions dye wasn't strong enough to dye my darker bits of blonde and so it was mainly the top half of my hair that was covered! I figured if I bought a darker purple dye and left it on for a short amount of time it would make these darker bits of blonde appear lilac, in the mean time the rest of my hair was quite a darker purple colour so I washed it a few times for it to eventually go lighter - more lilac like I originally wanted, yay! I like both purple and lilac hair though so I was pleased with having both. Nearly a month has gone by now and my hair has faded to very pale lilac with a lot of blonde showing through.

This was the first time dying my whole hair a cool colour and I'd definitely do it again! I really want to redye it purple again soon actually as I'm rather annoyed at myself for getting no proper outfit Lookbook photos done whilst having this hair, so I want to get that in the next time I do it. You see recently I've been so busy trying to get my Photography unit sorted and I'm yet to go on university interviews so everything is rather busy in my life at the moment!

All photos are taken from my Instagram, do give me a follow if you want! XoXo

Hello & Happy New Year! This is my first blog post of 2013 woopdy woo! I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and got all you wished for etc :-) I've been meaning to do an outfit post with my beloved army jacket (I bought when in Camden in around October I believe) for quite a while! I also got this jumper in the sale from the same store that day, isn't it sweet? The collar is attached to it and I love the detail with the little red birdy in the centre. For my next outfit post I really hope for it to be shooted outdoors as I like to have a different backdrops... but it's a pain when the weather is cold which makes me feel not in the mood and lazy to do so aha. One of my new years resolutions is to blog more, with lots of outfit posts, and to just take more photos in general as I feel I've slaked in that area last year and in 2010/2011 I took far more, I miss that!
 

 

I'm trying to hope with nothing to hold, I'm living on such sweet nothing

 Dress made by my best friend, tights & socks are hand-me-downs, creepers from New Look.

Hey guys! The other day I modelled my friends dress she made in her fashion class, isn't it cute? :) I love the pattern that was all printed by her also. Hope you like these pics she took and I edited. As you can see I'm sporting some new creepers! I adore them. These ones I got on Oxford Street the day after seeing the amazing Crystal Castles (I got to hold Alice Glass' hand and it was epic). They had a 20% off deal on all the shoes in store so I bought these for just under £18 which was great! I just looove to team any shoes up with glittery socks peeping through also, gives it that finishing touch! Btw, I've created an Instagram account, it would be cool if people would follow! @isabellabarter :-)

HALLOWEEN OUTFIT

 Headband from Topshop, butterfly sequin top & flowy skirt from a charity shop.

Happy belated Halloween guys! Here is what I wore out to a house party on the day :-) I can't believe October is already now over and soon Autumn will become Winter, which is a shame because I think this year I've appreciated Autumn more than I have any other year before. Although the weather has been freezing and you may aswell call it Winter weather. I love the atmosphere when all the trees are changing and the fashion is also changing for fall, everyone is getting their new coats out and I have been wearing my beanie more than ever! I've also been loving the build up to Halloween, watching scary films, deciding on costume ideas, having Halloween themed treats and all that jazz. On a scary note though, soon I will have to send in my application to university's and I feel I'm really not mentally ready for applying yet, it's just all come so soon and there is so much to be done *sigh*. Hope you're all keeping well, stay warm, love and peace.

Surrendered at the start of the game.

Hey all! Sorry it has been so long since my last blog post :-( I suck at this! Hahah. Anyway these photos are from the day I went up to London after going to an open day at Kingston University and I went to Portobello Market, these photos would have been better if I had them taken when the sun was out as my camera doesn't adjust well to dim light but I did try to brighten them in Photoshop. As for the open day, I really like it there and would just love it so much if I got in to do BA Photography there, it's inspired me to work really hard and be the best that I can possibly make myself be. Let's hope what I do is good enough, for if not there, then somewhere else just as good.

Hey guys! I've bleached my hair + had a haircut! I plan to do my hair again to get rid of some of the yellow-ness and make it more pearl white ^.^ But till then, this is what it looks like for now :-) I used XXL Absolute Platinum hair dye. When getting my haircut I had quite a lot taken off as I felt it needed it, also it was getting harder to cope with when it was so long but I admit that I do miss my very long hair now, buy hey, it'll grow back! The weather has been lovely recently in England and I really wanted to do more outfit posts while the weather was like that but unfortunately I ended up having my eye swelled up like a balloon due to mosquito bites and possible eye cold sores which I'm still taking medication for now. You can probably spot these in some of the photos, I felt no need to edit them out because when I look back on these it'll remind me of something that was going on in that time the photos were taken, heh! This jumper I found in the downstairs bit of the charity I work at and I love it lots! Got it for £3.

Hope you're all having a great Summer! Till next time...

I've been locked inside your heart-shaped box for weeks.

Here's just a quick post of a simple outfit I put together last night. I really am set on doing a lot more outfit posts regularly over this Summer, and even though I'm not that keen on doing inside photos as it requires more time and editing in my case, I still gave it a twirl seeing as yesterday it was raining and the weather is just really bipolar in general in England! Another thing I don't like is people watching when I'm outside doing outfit photos, which I suppose fashion bloggers really have to get used to and not care too much on what others around them think. If I have this approuch then maybe I'll get better locations in the long run :-)
