The Long and Short of it

I had long black hair for basically the first 2 years of varsity and then chopped it of on a whim in my third year! I also was blonde for a while, shew! This year I started growing my hair out as I miss that LONG black ponytail! There's something about a long ponytail that screams sophistication and sexy! But about halfway through the year I got tired of having my hair at the 'in-between' just over the shoulder look! BORING! My problem is I either want LONG LONG hair or short hair---not mid-length! I was very scared because cutting it off means I'd have to go through the whole boring process again! But my hair grows-fast. So I chopped it all of again! My room-mate Corne did a stunning job!! I went for a graduated bob-le Voctoria Beckham style! Here's to a fun summer with playful, flirty short hair!

In The Bathroom: Towels!!

I spent the night at a lovely family friend of mine who lives just up the road the other day and a simple thing added such a sparkle to my stay: stacks of lovely fluffy towels in the bathroom! Not only is her house beyond beautiful--but when I went to shower It was so sweet to have all these lovely towels--a simple touch that makes a BIG difference! Its so much better than when someone goes and scratches out some old hard towel for you to use, instead all these stunning rolled up fluffy blue towels and you feel comfortable using them as there are so many and you just KNOW that they are nice and clean!!

Make your guests feel at home and treat yourself to having lots of beautiful towels in your bathroom* They don't need to be fancy or expensive, just readily available, clean and stored neatly! If your bathroom is small you can invest in a towel rack, or a towel ladder that is equally sufficient. For bathrooms with more space, a cupboard for towels is a brilliant statement and keeps towels away from dust!

Another neat thing to do with your towels is to add LiL names on, this way the kids won't fight about who is using who's towel! Customised towels reflect your personlity, while neutral towels tend to last through the ages!It's up to you!
 Here are a few lovely ideas for storing and displaying your towels:

Look What I Found: Chic Clutches!

I love a clutch bag----I wish I had more! Every girl should have one of these lighweight, fun and flirty bags, they are very handy! The perfect thing about a clutch bag is that you can fit all your essentials in without having to carry around a big baggy bag--PLUS its super chic!

A few essentials every girl should have in her LiL clutch:
*Perfume
*Lipstick or a moisturising lip balm
*Car keys
*Money
*Gum
*Drivers Licence

Whether its cute and frilly or black and hardcore- the clutchbag is a MUST this summer!
