flower me with joy.











hey dolls, so i've seen floral crowns everywhere this summer (i even did DIY) but i recently seen on various blogs that primark had stocked a few crowns. so yesterday i caved in and headed to primark. as soon as i got there i went straight to the headband section (otherwise i'd forget what i went there for buy everything else and not remember till i'm sat at home) these are the only big "crownish" ones they had, they had a few smaller headbands similar but my hairs too long and thick for thin headbands so i settled for these 3. The white flower one was £2.50 and the other 2 were £3 which is incredibly cheap considering rock n rose sell them for 40 odd pounds. I don't own a rock n rose one because i refuse to pay that much so i'm thrilled i now own these cuties and will definitely get my fair share of wear (I'm a poet and i didn't know it ;)) out of them.  The only thing i'm gutted about is a few of the petals on the pink crown have black dirt on them which i noticed in the car on the way home, but i live 45 minutes away from the nearest primark so can't take it back but i'm sure i'll be able to fix that :) Also i was hoping primark @ ASOS would stock these online I've had a quick check and they don't but hopefully they will soon. so that's all for now. Hope you love these little beauties as much as i do.

DIY floral crown





 hey ladies so a couple of weeks ago i was on Izzies blog when i came across a diy floral crown so yesterday i was out shopping and came along a hobby croft so i popped in and seen these gorgeous flowers they were only £1.99 for a pack of 20. This diy is so easy to do so here a step by step


  1. buy some flowers from a craftshop i got these foam flowers from hobbycraft for £1.99
  2. buy a headband (i used an old headband and chopped the bow off) 
  3. wrap your wire from the flower around the headband 
  4. start from the middle so you it's more even
  5. VOILLA! done, yes it really is that easy
you can buy different sized flowers from craft shops i might make an even bigger head crown in a couple of weeks. Also you can sew or glue the flowers on if you want extra stability but i think they are fine just wrapped around like i did. So that's it! i'm now off out to rock my new headcrown!  ;)

bootsale and others..

hey ladies,
I'll start of with a couple things i picked up from BMbeauty. I received one of their bronzers in last months glossy box and loved it, so i decided to welcome some more bm beauty products with open arms. I ordered a blush in shade "velvet dawn" which is gorgeously pink, when i first used it i was frightened because the brush picks up so much product at one time so i have to tap the brush to remove a lot of the blush otherwise i would end up looking like a china doll. but overall its very easy to apply and blends amazingly. I also ordered a foundation in shade "stripped" which i believe is the lightest shade you can get (poor me,i'm very pale) Now, when i first tried this foundation i found it offered no coverage at all, i didn't feel comfortable walking around with this on my face because i felt like i had no makeup on and everyone could see my naked face. I then tried to put this over my foundation to matte and add a bit more coverage but when i did so it turned my face ORANGE AND PATCHY! :( so i won't be using the foundation again but overall i will definitely order some more products maybe some eyeshadow or eyeliner? after all 2 out of 3 isn't bad. Also they sent me a free chocolate bar with my order.. MAKEUP AND CHOCOLATE? THEY KNOW A WAY TO A GIRLS HEART. ;)

sorry for the poor quality pictures

Romwe's a bitch, and then you die.

 So me and romwe met, we got off to a good start, then his package arrived at my house.. and it was too small.. I'm talking about my dress of course, for weeks I've been awaiting my Romwe order and it came in the post yesterday and it was lovely BUT it was too small *crys* I ordered a large because its a Chinese website (i think) and Chinese sizes are always tiny. When it arrived it looked identical to what it did on the website so for that i was happy, however, There was a netted undercoat kind of style which was like a fishing net, it was so rough on the skin it felt very cheap.

netted undercoat 




so mine and romwe's relationship has come to a close because they only cater for petite sizing which i'm unhappy about as they have beautiful clothes.

ON A BRIGHTER NOTE..
I've just returned from the car boot sale and I've bought myself some American Apparel riding pants
i'll do another blog post on that soon.
but for now i'm off out to soak up the sun, I need to make the most of it living in Britain the sun is a rare sight.

we like short shorts.

I've seen a few Studded shorts knocking around but they are again expensive, So i thought i'd give it a try myself and it took me all of 5 minutes! I bought a cheap pair of Levi shorts on Ebay for £7 and a pack of 100 studs for £2 . They arrived today and i just went crazy and scattered some studs around them. Its my first time DIY studding so i didn't want to do something too tricky but they look great and i'll definitely be buying plenty more shorts. They're not finished just yet because i'm going to sand the bottom of the shorts with some hard sand paper to make them look a bit more worn and tough.


I've just bought a pair of white shorts and i think i'm going to dip dye the bottom black and throw on a few silver studs, If all goes well I will blog a picture.
