miss Hannah, how are you finding your hot sticks?
i've had mine for a few weeks now and they're great but they are making my hair so dry cos they're so hot! i've tried all sorts of heat protection serum and spray but i think it's one of those times where i may need some hot oil/conditioning treatment.

hot sticks are still just swell though.

Haven't tried them yet - going to have a go tonight and I'm embarrassingly excited! That's good news if they are super-hot - should work really well on my stubborn hair! My hair is ALWAYS heat damaged - I used GHDs for years which just wreck hair like nothing else, so I figure heated rollers/hot sticks can't possibly be as bad as that. I picked up some Schwarzkopf heat protector spray that is also a setting spray for curls; it was well cheap and holds my curls impressively well. I can't vouch for its heat-protecting qualities just yet though, it's only been 3 days :)

Today I was feeling down after an argument with the boy, so I went to Primark to cheer myself up (on the cheap!)

I came home with this for £12. It'll make a lovely day dress in the summer

These aren't vintage, but they go well with my new dress. I might have to return them, though. The heel is so high that I don't think I can walk in them.

It wasn't until I showed them to a friend and she suggested that I take tiny steps, like a geisha, that I was able to walk in them. I'll keep them because they're so cute, but they will be for special occasions only.

LOL when you have size five feet like me, there's only so high a shoe I can wear before I run out of foot to go up! They are cute, but would be like toe shoes for me :p
