annie- I think your short hair looks great, honestly! I also prefer it to your long hair. It really suits your face shape as you have v pretty and fairly delicate features. I think you need time to get used to it.
I can promise you that I have had far more disastrous hair cuts!
I also don't have an engagement ring because of the circumstances at the time and DH's lack of understanding about jewellery in general. Now, I would much rather spend the money (if we had it) on doing up the bathroom!
I do have a pretty wedding band though with three little diamonds.
fritzi-you are stunning! The dress looks great if you feel comfortable in it for the MOAM.
carciofi- Happy belated Birthday! It sounds as if you had a lovely time with DH :)
Quick report on recent purchases:
The monsoon Breton top is really nice although the paler stripe in the picture is not creamy but a stone sort of colour. The fabric is soft and drapes well. I am wearing it today with a gold cardigan from Zara and skinny jeans.
I ordered a second in the Lottas and can't see anything wrong with it at all- I think it is last season's style perhaps. The fit is good apart from the ankle strap being too loose- will need to get another hole punched!
The Odd Molly dress (sorry can't link as it is sold out now) is really pretty and fits well. Not sure about the colour so haven't 100% decided whether to keep or not. I was wondering if I could find something bright to wear nearer my face. There is a brightish purple and red in the dress- any ideas?!
Have found a link elsewhere although it is not a good one at all- here
Does anyone have the LK Bennett wildie dress? It is gorgeous but not really sure if I would wear it much! Does LKB tend to come up large or small?
I also rather like this LKB skirt but would prefer something a little shorter and preferably cheaper 
. Has anyone seen a red/ pink pencil skirt?
I seem to be fancying bright red/ pink/ orange/ yellow at the moment so if the skirt doesn't materialise perhaps a cardigan will do!
