PURIENNE

A very picture heavy post of some summer time inspiration from Henrik Purienne the 'hedonist' photographer. His work is amazing I'm obsessed. (all pics from google search)

Hope everyone's well and enjoying their summer. I was feeling wreckless and quit my new job, because it was hideous, and crawled back to Office for like the 5th time. Excited about possibly jetting off to Australia before the end of the year ahhhh! Lots to look forward to :)

Got a very very simple DIY post coming up soon featuring some vintage levi 501s. Thanks for reading!

DIY American Apparel inspired scrunchies

Sunday afternoons were made for making scrunchies. I had so much fun making these and they are so quick and easy to make. 

I was inspired by the ones from American Apparel which are from £4.50-£7- a lot of money for something so easy to make.

Here's how I did it:

I love the shiny purple one but its that annoying fabric that sheds everywhere. Looks like I have glittery purple dandruff. The black one though works fine!

I prefer scrunchies to hairbands because:

1. They are easy and quick to make
2. They reduce breakage because they are softer and don't snag
3. You can put your hair up wet without breakage
4. You can create some very big, voluminous messy buns you wouldnt be able to achieve with bands
5. Adds an 80s/90s twist to your outfit and takes you down memory lane
6. Easier to find in your bag
7. If you turn up a skirt, dress, trousers etc. you can make one from the excess material to match your outfit- my scrunchie always used to match my dress when I was little ha
8. A lot more interesting than a plain old hairband

What do you think? Would you wear a scrunchie?
