Challenge

Choose a happening or period of your life (a trip, a special party, just a month or similar) and pick 5-10 pictures of this period and publish them. Challenge then other bloggers to do the same!


I choose summer 2009, cause that was one hell of a summer!

Challenge no.1, Style no.2

A few days ago I put up a challenge for me (and anyone else who wants to try!). The aim of the challenge is to make my own version of Carrie's hair from Seasons 4 and 5 from the Sex and the City TV show. I started the challenge today by trying to make Style no.2. The hair should be curly, but not too curly, more like soft curly. I curled by hair with the GHD straightening iron and after that I blow dried it with a help of a round brush, to make it more soft and less curly. This lasted for 30 minutes. I guess if I would have put twice the effort on it, it would have looked better. Nevertheless, I got soft curls. Not really like Carrie's but somewhat of the same idea.

THE CHALLENGE NO.1

I am one of those girls who have seen every Sex and the City episode at least 10 times. I am one of those girls who remembers all the outfits from all different episodes, what happens in which season and I know almost all the lines. And why shouldn't I be one of those girls...? It's a great show. My favorite time in the whole show is in the end of Season 4 and in the beginning of Season 5, because it's the only time in the whole show where I actually like Carrie's hair.

So, now when I have this 15 cm shorter hair I will put up a challenge for myself. The challenge is to copy 4 of Carrie's hairstyles! I want to try to make the same kind of curls and see how well I am able to and if that style would fit me, hihi.

Style no.1. Parting on the side. Romantic curls. GHD material.

 Style no.2. is a more every day look from Style no.1. More straight, less curls. More old fashion curlers, less GHD.

Style no.3. Supercurly 80's megafrizz. Will be the hardest one!!

 Style no.4. The vague Vogue look. I will manage this with the GHD straightener.

I don't know when I will have time to make all styles, so I will not set up a deadline. I can make one this weekend, maybe one next week and so on... depending on how it fits my calender. Does anyone else want to participate in my challenge? Do you like Carrie's hair in any season?
