Just a quick Outfit Of The Day post. This is the outfit I wore out last Friday. I wore a white floaty dress that I bought from a random shop in Camden ages ago; a black Ralph Lauren belt; a stag ring a friend bought me for my birthday; a long necklace with a skull, dagger and a gun; a black ring with a fake pearl from Miss Selfridge; a charm bracelet that an Aunty bought me for xmas one year; black Victorian styled, lace up boots I've had for years but only wear on rare occasions as the zip on one boot has jammed and I'm scared of ruining them and lastly a good old pair of leggings. I'd also done my hair in a bun for a change.

Today I thought I'd make my PED a self portrait since I haven't taken any photos of myself for a while. My hair's getting really long now and has a nice wave to it today after I scrunch dried it. I'm still debating whether to stop trying to get it to have a proper red tint to it and just dye it black again or whether to keep trying with the red. I suppose it's all going to come down to how I feel when I go to buy some hair dye.

Song Of The Day: Slipknot - Duality
Reason: There was a live version from Download I think on Zane Lowe's radio show on the way home tonight. They are the most amazing band.

Highlight Of The Day: Looking after Pixie and seeing her and the cats taking big steps towards getting on better. They were sleeping a mere foot away from each other and Asami usually doesn't even come in the room when she's here!

Inspiration Of The Day: Film festival research for a film I'm assistant producing on. Makes me want a full time film job asap!

I Recommend: Shower Time

I'm going to start upping my blog variations, so I'm starting with 'I Recommend', which I did do a few times at the start of my blog. So we're starting with shower time products.

Shower Time

So these are a few of my favourite shower products.

Soap & Glory Clean On Me Shower Cream - I love Soap & Glory products. I think the packaging is quirky and retro and makes it stand out. All the products seem to smell really nice and work well. I love this shower cream as it leaves my skin feeling soft and clean without drying it out. It lathers up really nicely as well.

Johnsons Baby Shampoo - I adore baby shampoo! Out of all the shampoos I've ever used it is by far the best for my hair. At the moment I'm using the detangling variety but I also use the calming and original ones too. The detangling one is working wonders for me; I have thick, naturally curly hair that can be a nightmare to comb, especially if I've left it to go curly as I don't brush it when it's dry otherwise it looks like a big poofy mess. It leaves my hair really soft and shiny too.

Tangle Teaser Brush - Again, as I have thick, curly, knotty hair it's really useful for me. I find it works just as well on dry hair as it does wet and it's a lot more gentle than using a wide toothed comb. I originally thought it was a bit on the pricey side when I bought it for around £10 but now I see it's totally worth the money. I've had it for a good year or two and it's still as good as new. The brush is similar to brushes used on horses and the product was actually on Dragon's Den but didn't get invested in due to a bit of a strange demonstration, but I'm really glad they found the investment somewhere!

Aussie 3 Minute Miracle Deep Treatment - This is the most amazing product! I have actually ranted and raved about it which I'm not usually a fan of doing. When I first used it I started conversations with friends just so that I could tell them about it! It's a really quick treatment and has huge benefits that you can tell as soon as you start to  rinse it out. I bought it after I had stripped and re-dyed my hair as it had gone dry and straw-like and it instantly restored it back to how it was. I couldn't stop touching it! It smells nice and goes a long way too, and is also a really good price! Definately my top product recommendation!

I also love:
Bed Head shampoos and conditioners - particularly the honey and oatmeal one as it smells lovely!
TREsemme shampoos and conditioners - especially the 24 hour volume ones.
Original Source shower gel -  they all smell nice but I adore the tea tree and mint ones.
Clean & Clear Daily Exfoliating Cleaning Wash - really removes all the dirt from your face.
Radox Shower Smoothies - Great exfoliating scrub for the body.

Today I decided to strip my hair so that I can dye it red properly. In fairness the colour stripper has taken off a fair amount of the black dye, especially on my roots which have gone back to their original (dark blonde) colour pretty much. I'd love to go back blonde for a bit but can't really see it happening. I'll post a picture when it's settled a little bit tomorrow. But for today, I will treat you with another photo of the stunning Asami.

Song Of The Day: Poe - Hey Pretty
Reason: Song that suits Asami!

Highlight Of The Day: A trp with Pixie to the Walled Garden

Today I have been wearing my Jasper Conran shirt that I've had for ages. It reminds me of the 80s as it has huge loose sleeves. It hangs quite nicely, but it is a little long in the body as I'm all legs and no torso! I wore it with a simple Zara black vest top and a Zara skirt. I would have worn my creepers with it but I couldn't find them so settled for my usual (muddy) boots. I love wearing blouses and shirts as I love the smart, preppy look. I also wore my hair out in a bun today. I've been having a bit of a play about with hair styles recently as I'm so bored of having super long hair and not making the most of it. I think it looked ok, but I'm still getting used to how I look with my hair up.

Highlight Of The Day: A nice hot chocolate with a friend.
