Remy - 100% Human Hair (extensions)

Dudes.. These are the best you can buy, for the price you pay. 

Hey guys. I am one of those girls who has had short hair for quite a while, cos i do like my short hair, but i love to wear extensions now and again for a change! 

If you have short or long hair and are thinking about buying some extensions Remy Hair is a really good hair extension to buy. I advise yous all to stay away from English stalls that sell extensions for around £40 pound in them little packets, because a lot of girls have bought these expecting them to be great and they really are not. They mix the hair with 70% human hair and then 30% synthetic, and as most of us dye our hair these are really no good! If you are Blonde like myself you will be dying your extensions from these stalls and some of it will suddenly go a peachy pink color and i am sure you have seen girls walk around with this problem.

You really need to make sure that you are getting the quality for your money, and there are loads of places other than a silly stall in the middle of a shopping centre where you can get hair extensions!

When it comes to extensions, I have had so many I know quite a lot about these things.. In no specific order..

When it comes to purchasing them, get the length that you want, they come in inches the most popular is 18-24 inches. I usually get 20" simply because i cut into them.

The two things that i can not stand when it comes to girls and extensions is when girls put them in stupidly, and you can see them, you can see the lines that they are on and even sometimes the clips if they have their hair up. This is why you need to make sure that the extensions is clipped in right beneath the root, this is so it gives your hair a natural look, and when you are wearing them up put them in like you want them to sit, so rather than putting them on top of your hair lift your hair up and clip them underneath, this is how you avoid seeing the clips. 

Secondly when girls have a disconnection between their own hair and the extension because the extension is simply far too long and thick. If you are considering wearing extensions please just snip into them, go to the hair dressers if you can't do it yourself, just when you are going for your next hair cut. Extensions are meant to look natural, they look hideous if they are not put in properly, and you can determine whether your hair looks bad or good. 

When you come to buying extensions a lot of girls wonder what colour to buy, this is when the stalls can come in handy. Go to a stall and seem like you're interested in buying some, and ask them for the number of the packet that best suits you. My color is #613, this is a bleach blonde, and when i get them they are practically bright yellow. When buying extensions they have been chemically treated - cleaned, dyed, straightened/curled, so they aren't like dirty, and Remy hair is 100% Indian Hair. It does seem unethical and really unfair but, they do get paid whether it be a little of a lot I still feel bad when ever i think about it :(

But anyway, you can die these extensions, and you can buy products to keep them in good tact, personally i don't and my extensions go ratty after about a year. All i do is wash them, and when i wash them put a treatment on them and then rinse slightly so the conditioner is left in a little. This keeps them smelling nice and they are so much more easier to style. 

Top tips to conclude

*Get them cut, so they are in a long style, but there is not a disconnection between your hair and the extension. 

*Make sure you are buying the right colour.

*Dye the extensions when you dye your hair to keep the right colour.

*Wash and brush them regulary.

*Use heat protection on them.

*Try to allow them to dry naturally.

*Try not to thicken them in hairspray (even though i do it does brush out)

Any questions contact me :)

Lots of love abbie xox 

Jeffrey Campbell Damsel Spike/Sledge Black Leopard

Hi Guys, these little beauties are another find off the Envishoes website. They are priced at £131.28, which again isn't actually that bad for a pair of shoes that will be worn to death - once again. These remind me of the sam eldemans i am in absolute love with, simply because of the spikes. Spikes are big right now, and ofcourse, they will go with literally anything that i will throw at them. They are really rocky and they will 'spike' everything and anything! As always JC does me proud by giving me exactly what i want in a boot. The toe looks very narrow and just like the Dollywoods i have blogged about, i am uncertain about what the fit will be like, but I assure you i will be finding out! In absolute loveeeee <3 x

I was in Office the other day looking at the JC's they have to offer and i found these little beauties 

Little visit.

I tried them on in a size three, which is the size i have in my Litas and every other shoe unless there isn't a three in stock - anyway. When i tried these on they seemed really hard to get on, which was quite upsetting, as i would dieeeee if my feet had grown, after getting them on they felt like they had very little support on my foot. It honestly may have been because i was out the two nights previous and had been to work all day on my feet, but i loved them looking but i simply could not wear them all of the time, as they just did not feel right for me. The fur is real fur, it is pony fur, which i simply could not get my head around. And realistically it did put me off them slightly. The heel, even though you may not be able to see from the photo is curved, this is a reason why i was put off by them also. They are an absolutely lovely pair, they really are but unfortunately JC i just didn't like the fit.

p.s I am so excited for Office at the Metrocentre to receive more of the JC's in! Hopefully they get the DollyWoods and Damsel Spikes! EEEEEEKKKKKK! 

Jeffery Campbell - Dollywoods

These Jeffery Campbells were found on JC's instagram. They have to be the most amazing shoes I have seen in a while. I was so excited I uploaded a picture up to twitter, and MMS one to my boyfriend Matthew. I trawled the internet for days to find somewhere that sold these, i was totally becoming obsessed! And finally found them at just the right place! They are sold on Envishoes.com at £156.29 and I seriously am more than happy to pay that amount for them. The detailing is what is making me need/want them more and more. Every time i see them i seriously do fall in love. They were being promoted by JC around 2 weeks ago on Instagram and they appeared suddenly on the net not long after that - due to me being a cyber freak looking for them like a mad woman. In the picture off the Envi website you can see that they do look like a coral-pink-orange, which will be amazing for this summer! I am excited, as these will go amazing with a pair of shorts, unlike my Litas which i think they could actually clash with some little shorts, but these will go absolutely fab! It's unfortunate i am going nowhere hot this year :(. My Litas by Jeffery Campbell also are not hard to walk in or uncomfortable, and they do not make my feet hot and sweaty, but this design could be significantly different. I love them enough to buy them straight up, but I am wondering what they will be like when they are on, and when I will be walking around in them. They will be being used for nights out and work, so i do need to make sure that they are not un-comfy you see! Other than that query, with them being so new i am yet to get any reviews of them what so ever, so this is quite sad cos i would really like to know whether or not these shoes are the dream i am making them out to be!

Hi Guys :) Just want to share my views on the amazing designer Jeffrey Campbell! Although i haven't really known of him for that long, he just became big back in 2010 when Lady Gaga was wearing some shoes he designed. This was sort of how he became known. His biggest, and most known design of shoe/boot is the Lita, which I myself own a pair. They cost £120 from Office in the MetroCentre, and I have worn them to absolute death! They are amazing! Their platform is around 3 inches at the front and then the heel is around seven. I am forever being asked about how high they are, and how i can walk in them. I simply can not say a bad thing about them really, except the lases always come un-done whilst I walk and it get pretty annoying, but other than that :). They are real leather, and i am totally aware that there are fakes available from almost anywhere, and they are really good fakes but I know myself that these shoes will last me quite a while. I wear them for work with a pair of skinnys, and they look fabulous even with dresses even though you would think that they would not go at all. I am yet to team them up with shorts but I absolutely adore them with any other outfit! The best thing about Jeffrey Campbell is that his designs are so different, and amazing. He makes something totally out of nothing! I have thought about polishing them with black polish, to keep them in good nick but i quite like them looking worn and slightly scuffed! :) My Litas are the best buy when it comes to shoes at full price by far!
