Silly blondie

Silly blondie, walking down the street, silly blondie...

Every brunette needs a silly blonde by her side? Well, honestly I don't care what haircolour my friends have, I'm always the silly blonde to each one of them. It's the truth, I can't act normal for my blogpictures!

So first things first, I know I haven't been blogging lately but I've been really busy. So chica's, I wish you all a very Happy New Year, I hope you had the best time and may all your wishes come true! 

The thing I like about the holidays is the money you get from your family and that you can spend them on saaaallleeessss!!!

Sweater: H&M

Shorts: Bershka

I absolutely love to find a piece which fits me and is on sale. And to be honest, I found some these last couple of days. I was looking for something particular, a pleated skirt, preferrably in leather. So I went down the shopping streets of Antwerp, looking for this particular piece...



I didn't find my skirt though buuutttt I did find pleated shorts! Because they are really wide, you can't really tell if they are shorts or a skirt. I found this one at Bershka aaaanddd I had the last oneee (happy girl!!). Ofcourse I checked out some other stores too and I found this basic black sweater at H&M. I really like the caption "out of your league" which is printed on it and you can never have too many black sweaters. You can see it on the picture beneath, I combined it with a white shirt to top my look off.

 

I did have a hard time combining this with shoes. I mean, I can wear several types of boots with this but the shorts are just above my knee so it will make my legs look shorter if I wear boots underneath. I could also go for sneakers but then I'll look like Santa's little helper. Sooo I chose for warm and fuzzy feet with my black medium high Ugg's. 

This all-black-everything-blonde is ready for school, talk to you soon!

Love

Project "Hair"

Today I want to talk to you about something I got addicted to, but is it a good addiction or not, you decide. 

So a couple of years ago, me and a friend were talking about extensions. I really liked the idea of having very long hair and not having to wait for it. So a couple of weeks later I got my first clips. They were really cheap but I just bought them to see how it would look on me, the colour wasn't even the same. 

I started to do some research and I found out that there was something called "a weave". It means that they make little braids in your hair and they put the extensions on them. I decided to get them. It wasn't pretty at all! I got the wrong type of haircolour and the woman who put them in, did 3 layers on one braid. This meant that my hear looked really thick and not natural at all! I kept them in for 3 weeks maybe and then I got them out with a fork... My own hair was still quite okay but I did feel that it became less thick. 

So a couple months after that I bought new clips. The colour was the same as my own hair and the quality of the hair itself was really good. But when you wear clips, it takes you a lifetime to put them in and I don't really have thick hair so you see them most of the time. 

There was a new hairsalon in town and they did weaves as well. I was quite insecure about it at first but the girl guaranteed me she wouldn't make my hair look thick. So I just got with it. She told me it would cost me about 350 euro and I was ok with that. She took a picture from my own hair so that she would know which colour to buy (that's not normal, I know). A couple days later I went to the salon and got my new hair. I was really happy with it at first! Look at these pretty curles! 

I was so happy with my hair until I got to the register. The girl who did my hair suddenly changed her mind about the price we arranged. She asked me 500 euro in total. I couldn't do anything about it so I just paid it. She guaranteed me that I could use this hair for a lifetime and that this was the reason the price increased soooo much. 3 weeks later my braids were falling out and I had to get my extensions out again. I noticed some bald spots at the place where they started. I went nuts!

I still wanted to have long hair but what were my options? I started to talk to my friends about it whom had some experience with extensions. That's how I got to know Melissa Dams. She uses the extensions of Great Hair. These are extensions which come from Italy or India. She has been placing extensions for a couple of years now so I trusted my hair to her. 
First I had to go to her place to see which colour she had to order. She told me she wanted to use 2 colours, one blonde and one a bit more brown. I let her do her thing and a couple of days after I had my appointment. I was so happy! I had them in for 4 months. The quality of the hair is excellent! And when I got them out, my hair was still the same as before! This girl really made my summer!

This picture was taken right after the first time I got my Great Hair extensions. As you can see the colour is exactly the same as my own haircolour thanks to the professional approach of Melissa.



What I love about Great Hair is that when you wash them, they have like a beachwave. I think this looks really natural and messy at the same time, I love it!





These last 2 pictures are taken a couple of days ago. These are my new extensions, ready for another 4 monts at least! If you want to know more about my experiences with these extensions, don't hesitate to contact me, I will tell you all about it! Make sure to check their website as well: www.greathairextensions.nl

I know someone who's gonna look great during the holidays...
