Fashion disasters número 2.

Are you having trouble with your skin? A great tip to clear your skin is to drink hot water with lemon juice, there's something in the acid of the lemon that must help kill bacteria in the skin and we all know water is good for our skin.

Seen a super hot head band in Urban Outfitters or Topshop but they seem a little high priced for what it is? Take it upon yourself to find your nearest haberdashery store, places like John Lewis if they're a big store or fabric stores usually have a wide range of flowers, feathers and little sequins/beaded patches these things are perfect for picking up cheaply, pick yourself up a piece of elastic, these stores usually only allow you to purchase a meter of elastic but that's perfect for keeping handy for your next headband. Simply cut a piece of the elastic to roughly 2 to 3 inches smaller than your head and sew each end to each other then sew your flower or patch over the join to disguise it and there you have it an orginal accessorie that no one else will have and it probably cost a quarter of the price.

Want that soft wavy 40's style hair? The quickest option to achieving this look without having to set your hair in curlers over night, is to use a pair of straighteners and section your hair into layers, taking rather big pieces of hair using the straighteners curl your hair by placing the hair between the plates starting from the root and putting the straighteners at an angle twist them in your hand whilst gliding them through the hair, this should give you nice loose curl. Once you've completed this to the whole head of hair take a soft bristle brush and gently brush the curls out this should give you the end result. Give your hair a spritz of hair spray and your good to hit the tiles!

Good luck x
