But everything looks perfect from far away

Marilyn is a slightly daintier piece, the cream cord and gold chain is such a luxurious combination. It also ties on (which is just perfect for people with fat heads) with a lovely velvet bow, which can be worn for a simpler, chic look. I love this piece on as it really reminds me of a more elaborate version of the turban head bands that are around at the moment. I tried to wear one, but it was so small, I could barely get it on my head, it showed no interest in being stretched either, so sadly I had to part with it.

I'm blown away by the quality of the pieces and their simple beauty, so if you haven't already do take a look at Little Fille's website. I also got to pay a little visit to their stand in the Oxford Street Topshop - which looks brilliant! Unfortunately I didn't stay long, I was in a foul mood. Fighting streams of people that close to Christmas, whilst carry a huge weekend bag is not fun. I had mentally prepared an angry blog post while I was out, but felt it was better not to share!

I know I seem to do this on a regular basis, but I want to apologise profusely for the images. I didn't get home from work in time to capture natural light- my images always seem to be a bit bollocks when taken in artificial lighting (sadly I've never been good with flash) but the situation will be rectified, perhaps tomorrow, time permitting.

I had also intended to include some head shots, however I've had the most disasterous hair massacre known to man kind this week. (Perhaps a slight exaggeration.) I truly haven't had a hair cut this awful in some time. It was tear inducing. (Actually probably about an hour of tear streaming when I got home, having tried my hardest not to burst into tears and run out of place.)

I'm not really sure if I've shown posts of my hair before - probably not, as that does seem a little weird. I've have asymmetric hair for years - talk about being behind the times. I've had many variations on a theme, but most recently I've had a heavy fringe, the left side of my hair has been long (about boob length!) the right side has been a couple of inches shorter and it was shorter than that at the back. So I suppose like a longer, more extreme version of a graduated bob. I'm not really sure why, I guess i liked having slightly different hair and it was only really obvious when I straightened it.

Anyway, it's been looking a bit of a nothingness as of late, so I thought I would shell out for a hair cut. (Something I can rarely afford.) I had been torn for a while as I really want and have been trying to grown my hair long, but I get so bored I did consider cutting it all off into a short bob. I came across this photo of Zooey Deschanel which I simply adore. (A slight aside, but I love Zooey. I'm not big on being influenced by stars, or caring how they look or what they wear, but Zooey's different. I love her and want to be her. And own her wardrobe. Sad? Yes. True also.) Now I full appreciated that my hair was no way as long as this and that my hair was of many lengths, but I quite wanted to achieve this shape, if possible.


The second image was just an example of her fringe, as I wanted mine to start a little further back then it did, to maximise thickness. I'd decide that despite the picture, I still wanted to keep my long section of hair, it was after all what made my hair look long.

Anyway, to cut a long story short, I felt bullied/ tricked into having the long part of my hair cut off. I only wanted the ends cut to retain length, but she cut off over an inch on the short side. She's basically cut me a short triangle and my fringe is above my eyebrows.

It looks so so dreadful. I know there are bigger things in the world to worry about and it probably sounds horribly vain to go into such detail about my hair. But I really am devastated. I can't do anything with it. It looks awful tided up too because there isn't much length to play with and the fringe is so damn ridiculous. Zooey Deschanel it is not.


I've also been a little over whelmed by the popularity of the Golden Snitch necklace, quite a few people seem a little sad that it's out of stock! I am, however ordering more wings as I type, they do take a little while to arrive (it can be up to a month) but the Golden Snitch will be back in stock in the new year - so never fear!

If you haven't entered already, I'm running a little Christmas Giveaway here. There's a Lorna locket and Esme earrings up for grabs, the competition closes on Monday at 6pm so do take a look.

And to conclude, a few to follow:
