Reverse Ombre – SS13’s Hot New Trend

1 Feb

Hello my lovelies! I haven’t blogged in SOOOO long, and i have many reasons for that i can assure you! My next post will be a little catch up, as i have missed this blogging malarky ridiculous amounts!

Anyway, I visited the Valentino Exhibition at Somerset House in the New Year (expect a Valentino post imminently!) and on the long and tedious train journey home, with the ever charming First Great Western Trains (sarcasm, of course) my mum and I have a habit of retrieving the used newspapers left behind by the uptight business men and reading them. In this particular newspaper, an Evening Standard i believe, i found a really interesting article regarding the new dip dye look. Step aside Ombre, the reverse ombre is taking over!

I do like the ombre look, as it immediately creates a whole new hair style and can be really flattering. However, i’m more of a girl who likes to stand out – and that is what the reverse dip dye is all about…

So what is the reverse ombre?! Well, the photos say it all!

As seen on Prada’s AW12 catwalk, it was all about pale roots and dark ends – perfect if you fancy letting the hair dye grow out naturally, hehe!

Its a very striking look, especially the blonde with the jet black ends, would look fab with a mass of curls!

What do you think of the Reverse Ombre trend? Will you be taking the dip dye plunge anytime soon?! Let me know! 

Gurt lush to be blogging again – i promise to be more routine with it from now on! haha!

Tropicana madness! I adore the bright splats of colour used in the embellishment of this dress, it compliments the metallic/bronzed silk beautifully. Teemed with fun, colourful earrings and an exotic headscarf, this is a perfect holiday party outfit! The print/embroidery looks like it could be inspired by oriental influences, or the beautiful Asian Ceramics and tapestries. Truly a work of art, nicely done D&G!

Super sexy sequins – what more could you ask for? The simplistic and sleek shape lets the sparkle do the talking! Even the combination of the sequinned jacket AND skirt isn’t too overpowering, instead looking chic and super glam! Double sequin ensembles are a big YES! Perfect Christmas party get-up? I THINK SO!

The cut out leather is really striking. Despite the tough fabric, the slices give it a look of delicacy and fragility! A really exciting and interesting twist on the black leather trend! Furthermore it is very textural – i just want to reach out to stroke it!
