Hairography.

I had my hair cut last in December and it is due a trim soon, although it hasn't grown back as fast as it normally would have.  With this in mind, i've been looking around at ideas and one of my favourite Saturdays girls (yes, they are my non-guilty pleasure) has had her long golden locks chopped off and now looks more like Sienna Miller than ever.  Mollie King has always had long hair, and flinched at the thought of having a fringe cut in, but Nicky Tours got his hands on her.



As you can see, there's nothing fancy shmancy about this look, but I really like the simplicity.  I wear my hair in a middle parting most days now so I think I could rock it.  
What do you think of Kings new do?

Now, here's a Glee video for all of you Gleeks that got excited by this posts title.

On this rainy day in February, my postman gave to me...



What a typical British day, grim and unwelcoming.  On the upside my postman delivered me a jiffy bag of treats.  I've blogged about JunkJewels before and the owner Zoe was kind enough to send me two pieces from the new collection, available online in March.  



I was really excited when I saw what I had got - a bracelet and a short chained necklace.  They come securely packaged in a bag, inside another bag, inside another bag... (You get the picture).  You're also provided with a business card which I like, I'll pin mine up on my notice board and hand the jewellery from it.  Onto the jewellery....

£8.00 6inch Charm Bracelet

This was the first thing I opened.  I immediately loved it, two things I bang on about are featured - a bird and a floral trinket.  The flower was also pink, bonus! There is also a cute 'antiqued' gold heart to complete the piece.  The bracelet comes on a strong and sturdy 6 inch chain and sits nicely on its own or with other bracelets/vintage Casio watch.  


The bird looks like a Woodpecker, but I could be wrong.  The detailing on the bird is gorgeous, with the beak and feathers shown.  I love the fact the flower is not plastic but made from a starched velvety material.  


£10.00 17inch "Sheriff" Gun and Star Necklace

The next item I received was this necklace with a gun and star trinket, which I have named as a "Sheriff" necklace, as it has a very western feel to it.  It's on a shorter chain, so sits nicely on your chest instead of around your neck like a choker.  I am really glad I got sent a necklace with a gun on, if you remember, when I blogged about JunkJewels one of my favourite pieces was a necklace with just a gun on.  Like the bracelet, the necklace comes on a strong and sturdy 'antiqued' gold chain, measuring 17 inches.  

As it is a shorter chained pendant, I wore it today with a longer chained necklace as well, but it looks perfect on its own too.  Perfect necklace choice to team with a checked shire, jeans/jeggings and boots/brogues.  


The detail, like the bird, on the gun is superb.  It looks to me like a handgun (not that i'm an expert).  It has all the elements such as the barrel, trigger and cylinder.  


These are just two items out of a really gorgeous collection.  JunkJewels released a sneak preview picture of the new collection today: 


I'm looking forward to purchasing the Key bracelet and Glasses pendant which looks to be a real statement piece this season with the likes of Glee star Chris Colfer and high street style icon Fearne Cotton wearing them.
