Hair and wake up

 Living in New York and working away from home,
my daily routine of crocs and tracksuits just doesn't cut it any more......

Now I have to dress for work

and while the atmosphere is very relaxed a girl likes to put her best foot forward.

The snow, ice, freezing rain etc is a challenge I must say

particularly as most of my winter clothes are in my mothers attic

and I am out the door at 7am.

I am trying to do the clever thing of laying out tomorrows outfit the night before

.............it's a work in progress

Here are some outfits I have been finding inspriring.

All from The Sartorialist

The fabulous Phoebe Philo
Love the tailored jacket over the chunky knit

J Crew

Love these colours

another dilemma I face is what to do with my hair

This is such a great hairdo

These 3 images from Hanelli Mustaparta

This is very cool , from the Michael Kors show

but a little impractical

mine has grown quite long and I like to wear it up 

elastics hurt my head and those claw things are not very chic!

In fact I have often wondered why the world of hair accessories was extremely 

lacking in good ideas that were easy but also 

looked good.

Today I discovered these

they twist in to your hair are incredibly simple and give you that tousled bun affect

that's the kind I like

Ingenious

and they stay in

To order them online you can go HERE

Also this weekend got a manicure and eyebrow wax

......... I AM turning in to a New Yorker

NOTE: This is MY opinion and I was NOT paid any money nor given any gift to express this.........just  saying, in honour of transparency
