Feathers & Bindis

Prepping for another photoshoot. I was supposed to be looking after my flu ridden sister, but I opted instead to boss her about in my clothes. I found you can get away with more when your sister is half out of it.

Check out these super cool feather hair extensions from www.flockstocks.com. They come in a range of colours and tones, and once there in, they're permanent! You can wash, straighten, curl and dry em, just like regular hair extensions, but hello - who needs fake hair,  when you can have real feathers...

And the significance of the rose.... that's for another time
