Happy Sunday :o]
these are so cool! though I don't know what was going through jean-charles de castelbajac's mind when he chose to put those hair dos in his show. i think they're so hideous! not that i liked the collection much either..

This makes me want to take some penny out of my piggy bank (yes, I still have one) and make some DYI bracelets and necklaces. Very inspirational post!
My favorite one is that cute girl in the bikini. She looks amazing and that bikni is really cute.
