Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow...

 
 It seems that no matter what you do to try and avoid getting a cold the germs always seem to get you in the end! I've been feeling so sick and gross lately that I felt I needed to do something to make myself feel fabulous again, so the victim this time was my wild untamed shaggy grown out fringe.

 
 I must admit I've been quite tempted to just let it grow out like the rest of my hair and keep it looking like a wild, shaggy, untamed beast but I do like having a fringe...

  
 For the past few years I've been responsible for cutting my own fringe, which I admit sometimes isn't the best idea, but it's cheaper and easier than visiting a salon. The last time I asked for a fringe trim the stylist ended up hacking my hair to pieces, I wouldn't have minded so much but I was in the process of growing my hair long and that was a year's worth of growth he hacked off but I digress...

 
It's great being able to see again, the constant hair in my face look has given me a twitch, and I always feel like having a fringe instantly makes you look younger.

I'm still feeling slightly icky but getting better and the new fringe makes me feel all shiny and new, so it gets two Fonzie style thumbs up from me!

What's in my Bag #1

 
As it's the start of a new month I thought it was about time to clear out my handbag, it seemed to have gained weight since the beginning of the month but that's always the way isn't it girls?

This is my most prized, loved and used bag by Vivienne Westwood who you all know by now I have a slight obsession with. This is probably the most "normal" bag I own as my others are less practical and more novelty such as my Timmy Woods Eiffel Tower bag and my Black Labrador bag in honour of my own pooch James. 

I'm very fussy about my bags and always seem to spend far more than I should on them but that being said I only own a handful of them so I can be excused right?


Anyway enough about the bags here's what was inside:

♥ Givenchy Glasses
♥ Keys
♥ Loungefly Hello Kitty purse
♥ Pack of Tissues
♥ Anti-bacterial hand gel
♥ Burt's Bees Lip balm
♥ Hello Kitty blotting paper
♥ Dior lip gloss ring
♥ Various receipts and lists
♥ Little Book of Calm
♥ Dental Floss
♥ Mac Hello Kitty Mirror
♥ A lollipop
♥ Perfume (which I think is J'adore by Dior)
♥ A pen

And not pictured was half a bottle of Evian, an empty packet of chewing gum, my phone and my camera which I was using to take the pictures.

Now it's your turn so tell me what's inside your bag?
