My Vintage Shopping Trip With Amber Hall

Wednesday I caught up with my friend and fellow blogger Amber Hall (http://ambermadeyoulook.blogspot.co.uk/). Amber is the queen of vintage shopping so we thought who better to go with than Amber. We decided Portobello was our destination.
As well as shopping we had a catch up coffee. We talked about fashion, science, our futures, Russia, france and much more.
It was such a lovely day out.




The beautiful Amber collecting her bargains! And her £5 find.







Portobello Road



Me in torment over this Dr Marten Leather Jacket (I didn't buy it in the end).




Should have bought it... gutted.

Holiday hair

Being mixed race hair is a vital part of my beauty regime, on average I spend at least an hour a day sorting out the chaos that is my hair. My hair reacts to different climates. Wet weather complete frizz, Hot weather... perfect. 


This is my hair completely dry no products... anyone with mixed race or afro hair will understand how much of a miracle this is! Granted it is huge but I'm kind of liking it.
Sad thing is I doubt it will look like this back in England.

Just in case you are wondering I usually use S-Curl by Luster. 
I wash and condition my hair with Tresemme flawless curls.

Just a quick update!
Stupidly I forgot my camera so the next few Barbados posts will have minimal pictures.
I do apologise!!

Sorry I've been absent lately, it's been a bit of a mad one with Christmas and all!
For the next for weeks or so I am going to turn fashion served cold into a bit of a lifestyle blog, blogging about my trip to Barbados. I'll be writing about all of the hotspots and events I attend as well as all of the beautiful sites and food. Oh and the fashion of course… 

Anyway I'll be back soon to tell you all about my holiday!
