Photo Post!

Hey everyone!
I'm very sorry I haven't updated lately, but as school has been dragging me down my mind has not even approached the idea of posting.

(But I still have faithfully read all the blogs I follow up until now. Yes, every single post people!)

I haven't got my act together for an actually cool post so I'll do a photo post with some hairstyle ideas for those who want a wacky easy and generally messy/Victorian inspired, and it will be dedicated to my 5 lovely followers, thank you so much guys!

My normal hair...and I don't suit black lipstick, right?

This was kind of inspired by Dave Vanian...but if doing it THAT style, I'd straighten it and add a white stripe.

Yes, a loose bun and my only hat...I want to get a mini top hat instead of this trilby.

This bun was made by excessively spraying my hair with hairspray and then crunching it to the back of my head.

The general rule for this style is hairspray (LOTS) for tacky looking hair, and mousse and a lot of hairpins for 'pretty'.

This is the separated bun, it's clamped together with spray and dragged over to the sides.

Front view of the pulled apart 'mop'.
These styles are very easy and don't require teasing at all, (Just a lot of backcombing and spraying) and they hold together well enough if you use hairpins.

If you tried any of these youself I am quite sure you'd do a better job than me! I only spent about 5 minutes assembling and moving the hair about to create a different look. (They are excellent for bad hair days as they have this messy elegance :D)
Anyhow, that's the end of my little photo post, see you!

Lovely hair :)

Unfortunally, my hairs still to short to do any of these styles :(

You're lucky, black lipstick really suits you. Or at least I think so, and I have a weird sense of style, but anyhoo...

I like the messy bun look. And even if you look a tad bit better with the reddish lipstick, I haven't seen someone pull off black lipstick that well in quite a while!

The red lippie looks more natural - the black looks pretty damn sweet, too!

Definitely keep it in rotation for outfits ahead. Cx
