Pinafores and Baseball Tees. :: Style

There are three things that are staples in the wardrobe right now: Flower Crowns (buy here!), Baseball tees (this one is vintage) and high waisted skirts. I especially LOVE this pinafore dress that I found on Simply Be (I know, not my usual kind of store but it's GREAT for plus size staples and bras and stuff. Yes!) that's actually designed by a youtuber, Sprinkle Of Glitter. Anyway I love it and it's super comfy and goes with everything. It's like my new favourite pair of jeans (I don't really wear jeans anymore, is that terrible?! haha).
This outfit is a bit matchy-matchy but you guys know me, I love that! even the little red tabs on my Vans match my flower crown and my top. hehe. I'm such a nerd.

My hair is just fading away here, but it's a little bit curly which always makes me feel fancy and good. Up in an Ariana Grande ponytail (which has been perfect for summer, omg this heat!) I kind of feel like a cheerleader. Where are my pompoms? I tell you what, I've been wearing flower crowns nearly everyday, it's such a life saver for me when I feel my hair is super messy and gross, I pop one on and boom, instant pretty hair.
Pretty sure I'm wearing no makeup at all in these photos. I'm chill like that. Some days I wear a full face, some days nothing at all. All depends on how I'm feeling.
It's been so long since I've done an outfit post, blimey! Feel like I'm still getting used to blogging again, so bare with me while I find my groove again. How have you all been? Are you looking forward to autumn? I can't wait!

Introducing Flower Crowns to the shop! :: Shop Talk

Hi there, Ho there! Just wanted to pop in and let you know that I've updated the shop with flower crowns! We debuted them at SitC 2016 (click here for vlogs of the event!) and they were a hit. I'm so pleased because it's something I'd been dreaming up for a while now and with any new product, you're never quite sure how the launch is going to go. But yay!
We've got three different styles of crown, the Large 'Rose' crown (seen above), the medium sized 'Daisy' crown (below) and...
Our very popular 'Tiny' crown (at just £5.00 it's super affordable and not too scary to wear if you don't like making too much of a statement.), seen below:
We've got it down to a fine art now, and can make you any colour you like. We make the colours up ourselves out of our Art Equals Happy Recycled Yarn. There's a bunch of options on the shop right now that you can order as is, or pop over to Etsy to customise your own. (I wouldn't usually direct you to etsy cause it costs more, but they have really great customisable features!) You can also pop me a message/comment/email to discuss further options.

I've got a fun 'making of' post lined up for you soon so stay tuned for that. In the meantime enjoy these pretty pictures. Kimxo
