Annual closet rant

It's as certain as the tide, with the change of season comes the wardrobe angst. I don't feel like getting dressed latley because of how unhappy I am with how my closet looks. I still like my dresses, they are cute and all but I don't feel they fit the gloomy weather that we're having right now. I want a duller colour pallet of dusty pink and lavender, beige, brown and cream. I think that with some new cardigans and blouses I could make it work for me but winter clothes shopping is so expensive. For the upcoming autumn/winter I would like to acquire a new coat (preferably both a long and a short one), a pair of boots and a stiff brimmed bonnett on top of all the new tops but will I be able to stick to my closet plan? Especially with that God damned re-release of Melty Chocolat and no secure income. Will I have to survive the winter in pastel?

First winter coats

Angelic Prettys short coats for this winter are so hilarious, the bow is so comicaly large it looks physicaly impossible. It's like something out of a manga!

Gal inspired gigant curly pigtails

Current craving: Angelic Pretty Chocolate

It wasn't just the dresses that got a re-vamp with the new release of Melty Chocolate, the adoreble chocolate bar bag, my favourite, got the addition of a nice long shoulder strap. How practical!
Now I want it in every colour again, typical.

Tutorial: Messy doubble bun updo

Products needed for this tutorial:
  • Curling iron
  • Scrungie
  • Bobby pins

    Optional:
  • Smoothing lotion
  • Clip-in Extensions (if you have short hair like me
  • Hairspray

  • Begin with parting your hair in a slightly assymetrical style and do two pigtails, a low one behind your ear and a high one, slightly larger, above your other ear. I always brush in some smoothing lotion when I do updos since it makes my hair easier to handle.
    Pre-curl and spray your extensions (or your real hair) to your own liking, I tried using a larger curling iron for this turorial therefore it came out much flatter then the other day. For this picture I used a small iron and pinned both buns down much harder so if you want you may vary the look for different occasions.
    Clip in your extensions around the pigtails, I'm no expert at doing this flawlessly but since it will be covered by hair once we're done anyway it doesn't really matter.This is what it looks like on, now tease/backcomb the hair to give your buns some volume. How much you should tease depends on how big a bun you want but remember to always make the higer one a little bit larger.
    Twist and pin the teased hair around your pigtail, pin the lower one hard. The top one should be kept more airy, just use a couple of bobby pins and let a few long strands of hair hang down from it. If you like, you can bring out your curling iron again to touch up the hanging curls. Finish with hairspray to fix it and add some decorations if you like.

    Now you're all done!

    Inspirational

    I got the catalogue for Emily Temple cute with my package in the mail today, it covers mostly the July collection so, although lovley, not alot of unseen things. I adore this coodrination though, I got the brown macaron JSK and I'm waiting for it to get home to me but now I want that blue cardigan aswell, they look so simple and cute together.
