Shut up and let me see your jazz hands.

It's super shocking I haven't posted this yet, but due to being insanely busy pre-Christmas and then way more lazy than I could have predicted after Christmas, it didn't happen. But anyway.

Back in December, Aussie invited me along to a Christmas market they were holding in London. I took my friend Anne along and we had a great day - we were met with mulled wine (deceptively strong!) and an Aussie BBQ (even though it was inside) and several of my fellow Angels were holding stalls putting on various activities, like Christmas Card making, book swaps - oh, and free cupcakes. Aussie had also stationed fabulous stylists around, ready and waiting to work their magic on our hair.

There were interesting talks throughout the day on photography, vintage shopping and even flirting. They even brought the various Tribe mascots to life! I spent a while chatting away to the Colour Mate mascot, Emily, who was lovely. Also we have the same colour hair!

My favourite parts? Hanging out with Eleanor, making cards with Fiona, doing Lucy's drawing class then joining in on the breakout drawing class with Ellie and Tamsin which mostly featured doodling dinosaurs. Oh, and the photobooth. I want one of these in my house.


I had my hair put up in a beehive that put my own attempts to shame. They backcombed my hair to within an inch of its life to create this do, and it was so well-done that I SLEPT in it and it was still perfect the next day! When I took it out, I was stunned to realise that just four hair grips were holding it in place - fricking amazing! I went on to a party in the evening and spent quite a lot of it having my hair poked and prodded by intrigued friends.


The morning after:


Photos by me and uncover aussie - I was having too much fun to take a lot!

  1. I bought some colour mate conditioner over Christmas and promptly left it and my ultra expensive shampoo at my mum's! I imagine my equally dyed to the hilt sister is taking full advantage of the conditioner...boo hoo!

  9. 4 HAIRCLIPS?! That is like some kind of magic. My hair gets so messy when I try to faff about with beehives but I will master it this year. Also: just noticed you're doing 365 this year! I got up to August last year which was pretty good and then gave up :( So sad. Good luck with yours though!
