A messy bun has become my go to hairstyle - whether I'm in a rush or I've got second day hair, a messy bun seems to solve all my hair related problems. Making a messy bun look a little different to make things more interesting is a bit of a challenge I must admit. But I love French plaiting the underside of my hair before putting it into a bun. It adds a little detail and when you know how to do it, it really doesn't take very long but still looks quite intricate.

Last weekend I went with a uni class to Northern France. We stayed in a place called Arras and we were looking at war memorials and the quarries that were then used in the first and second world wars.

First of all, if you haven't read this you need to. It's a fairly quick read, at only 200 pages I was finished within a few days that were pretty much jam packed of uni deadlines. This was a seriously inspiring book.
