The long & short of it!

Hair that is.
 I am so bad at looking after my hair. 
I have it cut and coloured, turn around and find it's a year later. 
Terrible.

 I will never be a lady who has a wash & blow dry weekly but I would 
like to try to have a wash, cut and blow every 3 or 4 months.

 I go to the college for my hair cut - the students desperately need people to practice on - 
 the princely sum of £10.00 includes a relaxing head massage :-)

 I always book in with a year 3 student (I'm not that brave) & in the 6 years I
 have been going have NEVER had a horrendous experience 
(or cried - but I'm too old to cry over a bad hair cut now!!!)

So, here I am last week!

& here I am with a lighter head!



Next week I am having some colour added.....
just for Autumn ;-)

So, are you for long or easy care short hair?

Currently Coveting

I have wanted a leather jacket for the last 3 years, 
but most are black which I cannot wear with my pale skin,
 too long in the arm (very long arms) too tight in the arm (?butch arms), 
hard leather blah, blah, blah, but also I have never been happy to part with the money.
My frugal gene kicks in!
 I can even be at the till and change my mind! Guilt!

But, just look at this navy beauty. 
If it is like the other jackets I have tried on in Oasis in black, it will be the softest leather,
 fit me well and not make me look like death warmed up ;-)


I am justifying it constantly - ha!

It will last me years
I will wear it loads
It will go with everything 
It can be dressed up
It can be dressed down 
Great transitional piece
Soften with age
Look better with age
You get the picture??


What are you currently coveting?
