Show us your hair do's....
This is a picture of my hair this morning. I slept in foam rollers, but it went a little bit to puffy so I went over it gently with some straightners, this is the result.

Hair rats
Wow, this is such a great idea, as I've always struggled with my victory rolls. I'll have to brush my hair twice as often just so I can collect some hair quick enough. I can't wait. Wish me luck. ;)- Leila de la May

Favourite Movies From the 1940s?
I recently saw 'For Me and My Gal' which was just excellent. And another of my favourites is 'Bringing up Baby' which i'm surprised nobody's mentioned this one, as it's soo funny lol, it features Katherine Hepburn and Cary Grant (a great combination) and much more entertaining, I think, than...- Leila de la May

How does a girl keep warm?
No more than a distant dream, but i am quite literally in love with this coat from hobbs. The picture doesn't even do it justice, The first time I saw was in real life and it is absolutely stunning. It is a cashmere and angora blend fabric and is so thick, the quality is amazing. just a shame...- Leila de la May
