Sheer midi dress: Oxfam, Pokemon crop: Depop seller 'frankenskankk', Cardigan: Very, Shoes: Converse

Feel like it's been ages since I sat down to write a post! This Pokemon tie back crop top is the newest addition to my wardrobe and I love it! I absolutely love cartoons and I used to be into Pokemon and play the gameboy game with my cousins. It's not really the appropriate weather to be wearing a crop top so I layered it over this sheer midi dress that I picked up from Oxfam and haven't worn yet. I love the layered effect I think it adds a lil something. This cardigan is fab! It's so similar to the very expensive American Apparel ones and it's actually quite warm. This is going to sound weird but I feel a bit too dramatic when I'm walking and it flys out behind me like a cape so I have to walk holding it in one hand haha. I love how it's a bit gothic I'm all about that WITCH LIFE can I get a whut whutttt.

Got the usual converse on they're just my go to for comfort and simplicity. I call this hairstyle my 'Li Shang' as it's loosely based around the sexiest Disney character of all time from the best film ever Mulan. On the one hand I think it's cute, on the other it's a bit toddler like!

How are you all?

I get bored of my hair SO EASILY. Like I've had brown, black, blue, blue black, red, regular ombre, purple you name it. The ombre fever was getting to me, I'd seen it on Kylie Jenner and Khloe Kardashian and I just missed it. Therefore, I decided to buy some bleach and do it myself. I used the Jerome Russell bleach from Superdrug and it worked well on my ridiculously dark hair, lightening it up to a gingery colour which is where the irony of my story begins. I was aiming for an ash blonde that I could eventually turn lavender grey, I hated the ginger and in a late night blind panic tried to tone my hair with the smallest dot of semi permanent blue dye with TONS of conditioner. Please don't try this, although most of you would see why this is a stupid decision. This left me with patchy green hair.
Honestly I didn't hate it. It was bad but I'm really not attached to my hair so I was just rocking the patchy green and ginger hybrid - the ginger was a lot more prevalent in real life. I then used the Wella Color Fresh Silver Toner which I would actually recommend pretty highly for you blonde haired gals, it worked really well on my orangey green hair. However, the green was aggressive and did not want to get outta here. So I did what I should have done from the get go and went to a hairdressers.

They bleached my hair (adding my bleach count to four in a week) but still the green remained.
I'm not sure if you can see the traces of the pastel green but they wouldn't shift. At this point I was still striving for ash ombre. However we quickly realised it wasn't going to work so after having a chat I realised the only option was to go copper - the colour I was trying to avoid. However I'm sure a lot of you will know that red is opposite green on the colour wheel meaning they cancel each other out so I wasn't really left with many options. Like I said I'm not super attached or particularly bothered about my hair so I just said do whatever you want to!

I was so scared of having that ginger hair that comes with bleaching black hair as I don't think it looks particularly flattering and looks like it was an accident. I didn't have to worry as they gave me this gorgeous copper bright orange! It's so fiery and I feel like it fits my personality if hair can mirror personality. Overall out of my stupid decision (let me reiterate DO NOT USE BLUE DYE)I got hair I really love and will hopefully stick with for a while. Apologies for the selfie heavy post!

Products I used initially:
Jerome Russell B Blonde
Wella Color Fresh Toning Semi-Permanent 
I'd recommend both but overall I would just go to your hairdressers. Grace and I both go to the local college salon, the girls are always lovely and pretty much qualified it's just much cheaper. To correct my hair, bleach it, colour it over SIX HOURS. It was only £15 so definitely check out college salons.

I'll answer any questions you have in comments! Let me know what you think of my copper ombre and look out for Grace's hair transformation soon.

P.S. She may kill me for this but I found it so funny I have to share. While Grace was waiting with me over those tedious 6 hours, students used her as a hair model to practice bridal hair.
She looks like a beautiful My Little Pony or a precious brat from Toddlers and Tiaras. I LOVE IT.
I'm gonna go deep condition my hair now and watch Orange is the New Black,
