Textured Knot

Hey everyone! Long time no see! I can't wait to show you this new look, which has first appeared at the Band Of Outsiders fall 2013 show. This artfully rumpled style has been created by Duffy, a beauty expert. I've found this tutorial ( well, more like, a video) on Vogue.com on its top 10 stories from this week. I must say that this fashion season will be mostly marked by a little more classier and sleeaker hairstyles, but nevermind, because this is a great mixture of messy and classy! And even though this is a very casual style, it's the texture of the hair that makes it so exceptional!

For more info about the products used in this video (oh yeah, don't be afraid of clicking the link, It's not a virus or a pop-up, It will just open an extra tab and you will watch it there!) you can visit the Vogue page here. And as for the video, just follow this link: http://bcove.me/5i06rgeb

On Thursday, Kayvan and I were on the look out for a perfect military jacket.  
We started looking in Greenwich Market with no luck.  
We then headed over to Spitalfields market and made a mandatory visit to see Clare of Vintage Heaven (the name of her booth/stall at Spitalfields) 
and as usual her stall was filled with too many lovely items!!!!!!!  
When I turned the corner I met Roberto and Carolina from People of london
and they took a few pictures of my outfit, 
I hope to see them around soon!

If anyone has come across an inexpensive intricate
Mens band uniform or military jacket
