My hair is the bane of my life.

HeyGirlHeyBoy · 26/03/2022 11:10

Mine is the same Maireas Grin

Eaumyword · 26/03/2022 11:26

@Maireas I think she looks glorious in that yellow Wimbledon dress. Stunning colour, lovely shape and fabulous hair! She looked glamorous and age/venue appropriate. Top marks!

TracyBeakerSoYeah · 26/03/2022 11:32

I must be one of the few people who likes how the humidity does her hair on holiday.
I get lovely soft curls in the Caribbean/Pacific/Mediterranean/Atlantic rather than than the weird looking waves in my shoulder length hair if I let it dry naturally in the UK

Maireas · 26/03/2022 11:41

I've gone walking in the jungles of Borneo. Nothing, nada. Straight, straight hair!

I'm very jealous as mine goes full-on 'Crystal Tips'. I'm in the 'permanently clipped back on holiday' camp.

I thought this was a great pictures of C&C doing some Irish dancing.

That's a great picture! It's a shame Charles and Camilla went to Ireland at the same time as the Cambridges did Carribbean.

Caribbean, sorry

That’s a good picture! 😊
I love Kate’s hair and dress in the Wimbledon pic. That’s how I think her hair looks best too.
Mine is prone to frizz too, definitely Monica territory here!
Does anyone else imagine other posters on this thread according to which celebrity you think they would look like, and then picture them like that when reading their posts?
Just saying because Maireas - you’ve not got poker straight hair in my head. You actually vary between being Helena Bonham Carter and Nadia Sawalha 😁

Nnique · 26/03/2022 13:05

I’d love a more detailed look into what Charles and Camilla got up to, once the Caribbean tour winds up.

Maireas · 26/03/2022 13:06

I don't look anything like them, @gluenotsoup! I have dark, very straight hair, dark brown eyes and I'm very small. Not quite 5' 2" and very petite. However, I have no arse at all, my abdomen hasn't recovered from childbirth 27 years ago and my hands are like Nosferatu's.
I hope that helps! 😊👍

Hah, am wondering what I look like in your heads now!! 😆

Oh Maireas I had to look up what mescaline was! Absolutely no idea why my phone put that in, honest!

FFS, now I had to look it up too to see what it was all about!Grin

It's clearly a word that helps mad Erdem and Boden prints make sense...Wink

chesterelly1 · 26/03/2022 18:09

An article has popped up on my news feed - William & Kate at a church re-built after Hurricane Dorian & laying a wreath. Kates in a pink Rixo shirt dress, subtle animal print, I think I like it. You'll all be pleased to know she's moved away from white stilletoes (btw they were called SMS's when I was a girl - shag me shoes) but the wedge espadrilles she's gone for do not go with the dress. It's a classic last day of the holidays, nothing else is clean, these are the only shoes that still fit because I've gone up a size in the heat outfit.

100problems · 26/03/2022 18:18

Love the pink and as a fan of the heeled espadrille like the shoes too

HeyGirlHeyBoy · 26/03/2022 18:21

I have an almost identical dress, bought in M&S a month ago. What shoes people? Was going to go with wedges [runs]

HeyGirlHeyBoy · 26/03/2022 18:22

Agree, those shoes don't go.

Alwayscheerful · 26/03/2022 18:34

I'm sorry but I think the outfit is messy.

Alwayscheerful · 26/03/2022 18:35

Dishevelled is the word I was looking for.

RomainingCalm · 26/03/2022 18:42

I really like the pink dress! It reminds me of the 'meet the princess' dress that she wore at Hollyrood last year. Agree that the wedges don't really go - I'd like to think that she took one look at those stilettos this morning and threw them back into the case.

Did anyone notice that Kate looked to be wearing an ankle bracelet when they were walking on the beach earlier in the week - not sure that I particularly have an opinion on ankle bracelets but it seemed like an unusual accessory for Kate.

paradyning · 26/03/2022 18:44

Wow I can't a mostly universal approval of that Lepley dress!! I think it's dreadful! I am so out in a limb when it comes to Kate's fashion though.
Really hate that Rixo dress too

paradyning · 26/03/2022 18:44

I should qualify that 'hate'. I like the shape and think it's flattering it's just the colour and the pattern that I don't like.
