Zara Style Page!



Experimenting with new fashion hair styles!

Looking through the latest fashion shows, fashion blogs and trend mags! Me and my good friend Niamh (studied make-up and hair) experimented with the new hair styles we were seeing on the catwalks and in the magazines! 

Here's a few pictures of what we tried out...
