Ladybugs

Took my EmergentGlassworks ladybugs out for a spin this weekend. I love these, they are the cutest hair sticks ever!

No jewels

I've finally decided to pass on the Ficcare Jewels. I got an email from Maidenlike, notifying me that she had all 3 colours I wanted in stock, and I really can't justify spending all that money on hair clips. Especially not when I currently find it most comfortable to put my hair up with cheap plastic/acrylic/whatever clips from Ebay. 

I've been a bit torn about it, because the Jewels are so pretty, and who knows how long they will be available. Ficcare may suddenly disappear again. However, I honestly haven't worn any of my Ficcares for quite a while. I occasionally shove an Innovation or two in my hair, but the Maxes are currently collecting dust. I tried them in double buns earlier this week, but they were too heavy. I don't want to buy things I'm not going to use a lot. I either wear double buns with Flexi-8s, or regular buns held with claw clips.

If I were to buy 3 Jewels, it would cost me a small fortune. With shipping, and customs and handling fees, the total amount would be approximately €178. That's a lot of money for a few hair clips! I could buy 48 packets of floral claw clips for that. Each packet contains 6 clips, so that would be 288 clips. Crazy! Alternatively, I could buy 10 size L Flexi-8s (shipping included). I'll stick to the cheap stuff for now. ^-^

Fairies

These arrived a lot sooner than expected, so today's buns are very matchy matchy. AB and pink fairies! So pretty! I also decided to change things up a bit, and did braided lazy wrap buns. I should do this more often, it only took a few minutes to do two english braids. The buns are actually the same size, it's just the angle that makes the right one look bigger.
But back to the adorable flexi-8s! I took a lot of pictures, so sit back and enjoy!
