Seriously, they're so pretty!
How is the grip? I know you've got Houdini hair like I do.

Well, that bottom action shot of it in a rotated LWB took a few takes because the stealthy stick went all antennae on me when my back was turned...

So yeah, they can go for a wander kinda quickly (upwards, outwards...) in my hair, so I prefer to use them at 1-7o'clock in Celtic Knot buns (top action pic) or similar where they nestle in for the most part. They don't lock in like spirals or WEII sticks, but don't push out as fast as non-knobby sticks.

So, so beautiful, Crystawni. This just might be one of the prettiest sticks, ever.

Looks like a precious jewel! Gorgeous! Now I'm telling myself I don't need one....

Well that's frustrating!
I was hoping they'd be more like WEII.
(Still might have to get one and just use it in knot buns and braided buns since that's what I do with almost everything else.)

Very fancy and elegant Crystawni. Very tempted to get my first lady idun

What a gorgeous rich color on that topper and on a while stick too! That takes it to whole other level. That stick makes me want to do a nice fluffy winter coat and go find some snow to play in.

Thank you, everyone! I LOVE the idea of wearing it with a fluffy (maybe white?) winter coat, and am excited to be getting the chance to try that soon! Winter brrrrrrrs, I haz you covered!

I've tried to tell myself all the time that I don't need one of these when something special pops up in the shop, but apparently I'm speaking a foreign language and the idea doesn't compute. It seems when my eyes are diverted and my brain is blubbering, my fingers do all the buying. Touch typing is a curse, I tell ya!

Seriously, I don't think you'd be disappointed with these--they're even betterer in person.

i've been by a couple times now to admire Crystawni's Rosy Splat, so might as well post my latest sticks while i'm at it! The first two will be getting plenty of use this summer, they go perfectly with a couple tie dye skirts i plan on wearing a lot. And the third is Baltimore Oriole, a color i've been keeping an eye out for for a realllllly long time!

and because i like family photos:

confession: i might just be a little obsessed with this color.
