When is the right time to cut your hair? I love changing my hairstyle and colour but a haircut just seems so permanent, and irreversible. Especially when you haven't cut your hair in years!! Yup, seriously, the last time I had my haircut professionally, Brad Pitt was still with Jennifer Aniston (dream couple still!).
I've spent the last few years just chopping and trimming my own ends - no wonder I ended up with very, very long hair!

NEW HAIRSTYLE! I Cut My Long Hair Off And Ended Up With..
It's official, I'm getting the chop! Having a haircut is always an ordeal for me – (see "Why I Hate The Hairdresser" for more explanation!) but I've had long hair for soooo long now, I'm just really tempted to get rid of it.
It's heavy, it's damaged, it's just IN MY GRILL, ALL THE FRIGGIN TIME.

YOUTUBE VIDEO: How To Avoid A Haircut Disaster!
Hi Team! So today's What I Wore To Work is probably a bit of a cop-out as it's not a full-on fashion outfit and it actually only features one piece. (It's been a busy few weeks, this is the best I can do at the moment, bwaah.)
My previous Workwear posts have always been about the outfit, the key looks, the investment pieces but I' realised that I've never covered the hair much before. And why not? I'm a beauty blog after all, so what about beauty in the workplace?
Today's smart style is all about the hair. It's easy to do, easy to prepare - it's a variation on the classic high-pony - there's texture and movement through the lengths, and of course, a giant preppy bow on top! Channelling Alicia Silverstone in Clueless!

What I Wore To Work: Smart Style Ideas For Long Hair
Okay, overly-dramatic title probs but I HAVE been cutting my own hair for basically the last 5 years.
Why? Partly the fact that I find snipping my ends quite soothing (it's an excellent procrastination activity if you're revising!), partly because I'm never 100% happy after a haircut and always end up trying to adjust it myself, but MAINLY because I'm ridiculous and neurotic and just find the whole experience so awkward!
Don't get me wrong, it's not like I'm reduced to a hyperventilating rocking-in-the-corner mess every time I step into a salon - but I was talking to my pals about funny salon stories and today I'm writing a little silly compilation of my favourite hairdresser awks.
Some of them are probably Zoe Dubs specials (ie unique to mentalists like me) but some of them I know YOU KNOW. Now let's proceed and confirm just how mental I am shall we?

Why I'm Scared Of The Hairdresser. A Bit.
Here's the story. To honour my new, slightly-less-corporate-but-still-quite-corporate job, I decided to inject a bit of colour into my hair. I couldn't go too far though - I will be working in Fashion (swoon) but I'm still a Finance bod and bright red hair (a la Rihanna in the What's My Name video) is only going to be a teeeeny bit SERIOUSLY frowned on.
But last year, when I went to China, I got some super-awesome-love-them bright red ombre layers (see my China & Hong Kong Cosmetics post) and I absolutely adored them. I got to inject a bit of personality into my black hair, whilst still keeping the party under wraps in the office.
Unfortunately, bright red hair fades fast and it wasn't long before my Rihanna Red layers were heading towards Hayley from Paramore - aka orange.
So, as a birthday treat, I decided to treat myself (aka let me Mr FV treat me)
to a salon dye-job to reinstate my coloured layers. I also wanted to try something different - Katy Perry purple rather than Rihanna red - and I went to the home of cray-cray coloured hair, Bleach in Dalston.
If you don't know Bleach London, get to know. Specialising in colour, their Instagram feed is a haven of pastels, flouro and beautiful, beautiful hair colour.
Hope you think my new hair colour is equally beautiful! Check it out.

My Quest For Purple Hair via BLEACH LONDON.
In place of the normal "What I Wore To Work", today it's another "What I Wore To The Wedding" special! My gorgeous friends Jack & Olive got married last weekend and I was honoured to attend their beautiful celebrations.
And what a wedding it was - I'm talking sweeping marble staircases, seven stunning bridesmaids, a performance by Burberry model Roo Panes and six REAL blossom trees brought into the church (I still haven't gotten over those) - I wouldn't expect any less from a Porter Magazine wedding!
So what did I wear?

What I Wore To The Wedding: Warehouse & Flowers
So on the weekend, my friends Henna & Moz (obvs not real birth names) were having a birthday party which was a greek themed toga party.
I love a bit of fancy dress - for an example, check out my Zoo Lates Deer Makeup (complete with witty title "Oh DEER, you look FAUNtastic")
I digress. But that was an awesome pun right?
Anyway. To Toga! For me, Grecian fancy dress is about three things.
Okay okay, I totally cheated on number 1 - I just happen to have a cream maxi which hasn't been worn since last summer. Cheat cheat cheat cheat cheat, thats me. Soz.
2 & 3 however, are very easily done and I'm going to show you how!

Anyway. To Toga! For me, Grecian fancy dress is about three things.
1) A decent bed sheet which covers necessary bits.
2) Elegant greece-meets-boho braids
3) Chiselled cheekbones to rival the statue of Zeus.

Ariana Grande Goes Greek: My Toga Party Ponytail!
My hair is a bit of a wet rag. It's naturally very boring and straight and I don't do anything to it, it just sits there quietly, a bit like a small, old, dog which is too tired to run around. And no one wants their hair to be described like that do they? We all want finely coiffed poodles, voluptously shaggy Lassie dogs or colourful, silky golden retrievers!
Today's product fits very snugly into this category of "Good Transformational Product" - it's the Structure Beach Texture Spray by Joico. OOOooOOh.
What is this?!
