Kelly O My Gawwwd!

I know this is a bit of a controversial style icon to have, and having discussed it with quite a few people and been told "noooo, she is NOT pretty" and that she looks like Dame Edna, I am quite simply stuck on thinking that Kelly Osborne is just beautiful. And, I LIKE her hair!

Look!

My mum thinks that although the dress is beautiful, she is looking far older than her years, but I don't agree. I love the hair colour, it beautifully shows off her tan, I would definitely try it out once I've been on holiday in May! (A good look for a pregnant woman?) - and, once again, the dress is A-MA-ZING! Look at that figure! It's everything I would ever want in a dress, the draped, capped sleeves would cover my hated chubby shoulders and the black fabric (what is it?) is so flattering. I would love to see this dress in a cream or ivory, perhaps as inspiration for what will one day be my wedding dress! One other thing I love about the cut of the dress is the detail at the top where it looks like it could almost be a halter-neck top and bolero. It adds some more interest to what could have been a very simple design.

THE HAIR:  If anyone likes this kind of hair shade, I recommend using Paintbox hair-dye to get the pastel effect.  They have a special toner which can be used with any of their other shades and will turn the colour into a much softer pastel shade:

Paintbox Whiter Shade of Pale Toner

Used with:

Paintbox Colour in Blueberry Hill

And you might just have yourself a colour which matches Miss O! It's very easy to mix, you can add more colour as you go along if you wish to get a more concentrated colour, or you can just add a tiny amount to the toner, and you will have yourself a lovely purple wash through your hair.  Use it on bleached hair for the best effect, and it should last quite a while before washing out completely.  Similarly, if you would like a pastelly pink colour in your hair, which has been very popular with some celebrities over the winter and just now, you can buy a bright pink and tone it down with the Whiter Shade of Pale toner! Have fun with it and mix up your colours!

I have had (on and off) pink hair for the last two years. I started with a very bright pink to begin with, and have been trying to tone it down over the last year or so.  The Paintbox product has allowed me to achieve (almost) the exact shade I want to be.  I will wait until I've done my roots again and will try take a photo.  Here is some of my pink inspiration:

What do you think about Kelly Osborne's style? Love of hate?  Do you have a pastel hair shade? If so, how did you achieve the look? 

Peace and jam!
