Livin' a little

Roaming around Jumeirah’s beautiful lanes finishing off project errands last friday, Fashionistic Observer and I found something that made our eyes pop.

After some loud shrieking to stop the car we took a u-turn and walked into the store with that brilliantly pink-lit light that caught our eyes. “Vintage” was what it said. On our left side was cartooned painting and on the right was a vintage wardrobe!

Every piece I held up and examined was more stunning than the previous and next one I picked!

“I could live here” I told Maha, owner of the vintage store, Bambah.

A wall of fame, a thick YSL book, Vogue pictures, and mint condition amazing pieces was what made the shop so interesting!

We were also offered some cookies!

The 70's hair!

We are all looking how to achieve vintage looks by buying the classic Chanels and 50's beautiful makeup as well as clothes! But when I came across this pic and I loved the hair!

Get the look:

After and clean wash ...

Divide your hair by making a middle parting.

Section each part of your hair. (keep ready for blow dry)

Blow dry your hair outward to achieve the volume and curl the ends for the flick.

Note: This exact look works if you have your hair is cut into steps!
