Vintage Vixen!

At college we sometimes take part in different events to promote the services we offer at the college salon. Today we took part in a college event which I really looked forward to doing, a mend don't spend fair, where the fashion and textile students and different stalls sell vintage and upcycled products. Not only was there that but there was a tea party and my class were offering the vintage hair styles to match.

I think I possibly was one of the only excited people in my class, and got called a geek when I said I might go a bit earlier than my shift to go and have a look around. But this is what I sometimes do on a weekend anyway, look around vintage and craft fairs finding bargains and one off treasures so to me it was just another chance to shop and in college time which was a definite perk. 

I love vintage hair too, I don't really do much on myself to be honest I feel a bit like I am dressing up when I have tried it before, even tho I think I kinda suit the look. What do you think? That's me in the middle.

This was such an easy look to create,

1. Firstly I curled my hair with my ghd's to create a tight curl. leaving out a triangular section where my fringe (bangs) are.

2.  I took this front section and curled it backwards.

3. I gently brushed out the curls to bring them together to create a vintage glamour wave.
4. The front section was lightly back combed to give lift and to shape the quiff look.

Here are some more pictures from today.

This is the Auntysocial stall, their mission is to create a vibrant, active and diverse community in the Fylde Coast area through positive, sustainable arts and cultural activities, tea and cake. At the mend don't spend event they were selling some of the things they had created.

You might be seeing more of this room in pictures soon, for my level 3 course we have to complete a show. I have put myself forward to be one of the coordinators which means I have to help organize everything including venue, fundraising, music and marketing. We were struggling to find a room which would be suitable and that was in the price bracket we were after, but after spending the day here I think we all decided it would be perfect.

Until next time
