Encode Totem Styler - c/o Enrapture

When I was asked by the lovely people at Enrapture if I would like to try out the Encode Totem Styler, I thought it would be a good idea to show you the results and talk a little bit about my hair.

Avon Leave in Conditioner & Argan Oil

These two are the only products I ever repurchase. They both leave your hair mega soft & smelling extra lush.The conditioner is only £1.65 & the argan oil is £3. Well spent.

Tangle Teezer

My tangle teezer is my baby. I literally panic if I can’t find it. Ha. I personally think it's one of the things that has helped my hair get healthy & longer.

Sleep-In Rollers

 I use these on days when I want to wake up with glam, TOWIE esq hair (my guilty pleasure). They definitely do the job!

Encode Totem Styler

I’ve been using these all week. So much so that I think I’m going to become the Queen of curling.  The different heat settings mean you can mix and match the heat settings on the barrel. I’ve been using the highest heat at the top and lowest at the bottom. I think it’s a fab way to get curls that will last, without zapping your ends. The Enrapture products are at the higher end of the price scale but they are built to last & come with a 3 year guarantee. Great for people like me who seem to be the kiss of death in regards to electronics! I’ve had so many cheap twenty-quidders from Argos that have died. You get what you pay for ey! 

 

Hopefully that's all alright! I've had some of the nicest compliments about my hair (thank you, you're all lovely!!), so I thought this might be of interest.. if you have any questions then ask away!

DIY cut off jeans

Hat - H&M, Necklace - Hippy Stall, Top - H&M, Cut Off Jeans - Charity Shop & DIY, Bracelet - Born Nostalgic, Creepers - Underground via Ebay

 

Thought it was about time that I posted these pictures from a DIY I did a month or so ago. It’s nothing too exciting, I just cut the bottoms off a pair of charity shop jeans & frayed them up a bit. I’d seen some in H&M that were exactly the same style, and could not justify the £30 price tag. Especially when I knew they could be made really easily! I’m not sure they’re the most flattering fit, but they’re great for days when you’re not feeling the whole ‘short shorts’ thing. It’s always good when you don’t have to worry about flashing your booty to everyone & their grandmas! 

 I've had the dreaded task of carting my life back to uni today. Blog pictures taken in a student house are going to be grim! How quick has this summer gone?!

gothic bodycon dress

Hat - H&M, Choker & Neclace - DIY, Gothic Bodycon Dress - c/o Motel Rocks, Socks - Primark, Heelless Heels - c/o Miss Ikon

Sorry about the last picture being blurry. I'm still working on this using a DSLR lark. It would seem that focusing is not my thing! 

As I’ve said before, I don’t really go out at all in Sheffield. I hardly ever drink, and I’d rather save my money for when I’m back at Uni. However, when this dress arrived, I had to get glammed up. Again I could not be more in love with the Motel Rocks A/W patterns.. we all know I love something a little gothic! I wore it off the shoulders purely because I love that style, and I think you can get away with it in this dress. I’ve definitely got a thing for flashing a bit of collar bone. 

Many of you on Twitter will have seen/been thoroughly bored by my constant tweets about getting a new phone & all the apps I’ve been playing with. I’ve just got Instagram & I am naturally addicted. If you like cat/food/outfit/nail pictures then follow away! Ha. My username is: fashioninflux

asymmetrical dress

Studded Headband - c/o OASAP, Claw Earrings - c/o OASAP, Sunglasses - H&M, Velvet Shirt - Charity Shop, Dress - c/o Fluent In Fashion, Bracelet - Vintage, Creepers - Ebay 

I actually really like this outfit. I’m notorious for being lazy when it comes to clothes. I’ll have a couple of items that I know I can wear and feel like I look alright in that I wear to death. My mum has even taken to trying to sneak a few of the said items out of my life via charity bags.. Pfft! Today I made more of an effort to not go for a boring outfit. This shirt is one of my top charity shop buys. I always think black & blue can be a dodgy colour combination, but I think the velvet makes it just about alright! 

I’ll definitely be wearing this dress for a night out in Leeds. I don't really go out much back home, so I had to find a way of mixing it into my typically casual wardrobe until I'm back at Uni.  

In the next week or so I’m thinking of doing a few posts relating to my hair & what I do with it. I know I love fashion blogs that have a few things like this mixed in.. and I do like to have a bit of variety. Hopefully, a few of you will be interested?!

printed jacket & head chain

Head Chain - c/o Celliana, Jacket - c/o Motel Rocks, White Dress - Republic, Socks - Primark, Shoes - c/o OASAP

I'm pretty sure I've worn this dress/top a fair few times on my blog. I just thought it went perfect with this little jacket. Isn't the pattern cool? I think Motel Rocks always do well with their patterns.. I've got my eye on all their new gothic printed goodies too! I wore this jacket out with my disco pants & a crop top the other night and I actually went out thinking I looked pretty smart for me! Always a good thing. I will say that it seems like quite a small fitting.. if you're wanting to wear layers underneath it then I'd opt for a size up. 

My hair was looking rather flat & boring so I jazzed it up with this rose gold head chain. Some of you old time readers may remember me having a go at making one.. I've got to admit my DIY was not a patch on this ha! It's not too flimsy & is well made (unlike mine!). It’s adjustable too, so rounder headed ladies (i.e moi) are not excluded!

Right, I'm off to go bully Orange into giving me a lovely new phone. Keep your fingers crossed for me!

DIY Bitching & Junkfood dress

Hat - Market, Dress - DIY, Bracelet - Vintage 

So I took these pictures at the start of the summer & never got round to putting them up. I usually like to have a little creative project while I'm off uni, & this was one of the things I ended up making. I didn't really like it at first but now I think it's kinda cool. I'd seen a Bitching & Junkfood dress that I seriously loved, but pennies were a little tight. This is my 'inspired' version, as it ended up being quite different. I've only got the basic sewing skills that my mamma taught me so I suppose it isn't bad!

I was going to do a tutorial, but in the end I confused myself that much that I don't think I'd have made any sense! If I did it again, I'd just have bought a camo vest & black maxi & stitched them together. Obviously that would have been way too logical.. ha. You live you learn! If anyone does have any questions then I'll do my best to answer them :)

Check out Georgia looking absolutely LUSH in the Bitching & Junkfood version. She is one stylish lady.
