Flash Floozy: Floral Crown

 

 Last week I received a package from Flash Floozy which included this beautiful floral garland. Flash Floozy is a online fashion store selling handmade boho headpieces and jewellery. It was started by lovely founder, Marie Porter who describes her products as 'Boho Bling' as she has pieces that are more on the whimsical side but also has other pieces that are more jewelled to add sparkle.

 

This floral garland is just so beautiful. It is a light blue floral crown with slightly pointed petals. The underneath is finished off with green petals to give a more natural look to the roses. The headband itself is made from rustic vine and looks so natural and would blend in with most hair types if seen when being worn. Then the end is finished off with a cream ribbon to type at the nape of the neck to secure on your head. This adds such a dainty look to the floral crown.

 

I haven't worn this crown out properly yet but I am on holiday abroad as we speak so I will most definitely be including this beautiful head piece in with a few outfits so look out for the outfit posts that include this floral crown. This will include better photos so you can see what the crown looks like when it is on my head.

 

I think I will also be wearing this at London Fashion Weekend in September so look out for my outfit for that also!

 

Just a short post but you will be seeing more of this gorgeous floral crown on the blog in the future as I'm so impressed with the quality and handmade items are sometimes the best, especially when it comes to Flash Floozy!

Camp Essentials

So I mentioned in my last post that I'm off to a summer camp today and I can't wait! I do this Christian summer camp every year and have done for the past 8/9 years and I loved it when I was a camper and I still love it now that I'm a leader there.

So after 8/9 years of doing this camp every summer you'd think I'd know a few things about what should be taken. This doesn't just apply to a summer camp, this could apply to camping if that's something you're doing this summer. If not, I will be doing a holiday essentials post before I go on holiday at the end of August.

This isn't everything obviously but just things related to fashion and beauty items.

1. Sunscreen: Every year at camp we seem to have most days full of dry and sunny weather and at camp/when camping, you're outside most of the time and you will definitely need some form of SPF handy. You don't want to be that person that every single year gets burnt, do you? I know it seems like a lot of effort but do yourself a favour and stay burn free. You'll enjoy your week more!
2. Sensible footwear: Yes, it was in fact me that wrote that subtitle and no, my mother has not taken over my blog. Now, I'm a bit slave to fashion when it comes to footwear and I always think to myself "If they go with your outfit, wear them!" when it comes to shoes but at camp that changes a bit, not much I have to say but a bit and when it comes to walks or doing sport I do always try to put my Converse on. They're probably not even the best footwear to wear but for me they're so comfortable, good for light-hearted sport and as far as I will probably go to wearing a pair of trainers. I'm just not that kind of person.
3. Wipes: Wipes become your best friend at camp/when camping and can be used for most things. Seriously, just buy some wipes and even if you don't end up using them knowing they're there gives a small amount of peace of mind.
4. A notebook: At my camp there are daily talks and meetings that take place so I would normally write notes and if you're going to write notes why not use a cute notebook? Paperchase do a great selection of cute notebooks all year round so check them out.
5. Wellies: These are always a debatable item which each year is decided upon at last minute. Do I, Don't I...? Check the weather and if it's going to rain then mud may become involved and not taking wellies is like going to Glastonbury with flip flops; not a done thing.
6. Moisturiser: At camp I always become extremely tired due to the early starts, sport, walks and late nights so using a good moisturiser is helpful for feeling and looking like you're still alive by the end of the week.
7. Hairbands: By the end of the week you won't care what you look like anyway so just shove your hair up and get it out your face!

There are more items that I could have mentioned but they're definitely the most prominent camp items you need apart from you also need cute outfits!

Shorts: River Island

Notebook: Paper Chase

Glasses: Brand is: FCUK

Wipes: Superdrug

Shoes: Converse

Fashion Show

From reading previous posts from June you may know that on my birthday I took part in a college fashion show. It was a massive stress and backstage was full of people panicking but in the end it was one of the best evenings ever.

We spent all day setting up the catwalk, background and chairs. We had several run throughs of everyone's outfits and with this came stress and a few disasters but it was all solved and turned out so well in the actual show. After run throughs we had a few hours for hair and makeup and it was safe to say everyone looked incredible. 

Then came the show and we were all nervous as this is something us but mainly the second year students had been planning for months and it all came down to this moment. The show was amazing, the atmosphere, the lights, everything was spot on. Adrenaline kicked in and we all just had to go for it.

The photos aren't the best as we haven't had the official ones back yet but when and if I get hold of them, I will definitely post them.

Modelling a friend's top

60s shift dress we had made in our first ever project.

Here are photos of a segment called Sculpted. On the left is my friend Lissy wearing a dress I made and on the right is me modelling a friend's dress and accessories.

These two photos are of a second years festival inspired designs that we wore. (Me on the left)

It was such a fun experience and I cannot wait until it's me modelling my final collection next year!
