Pink Kimono










Flower Crown~Roses & Clementines
Kimono~Charity Shop
Dress~Rokit Vintage
Socks~Primark
Shoes~Topshop

Hello hello! I had a particularly pink day today, as you can probably tell. Not a colour I wear a lot, but one I am trying to branch into a bit more with my current outfits. I got to wear this lovely kimono, that my mum bought me for graduation. It was so light and super silky to wear on a warm city day like today. I felt like I had big patterned wings whilst walking into town to get some lunch! I also sported my most favourite of headbands today, from the lovely shop Roses & Clementines, it was great to mix lots of pinky shades and feel really girly on a weekday. 
I am currently planning another little giveaway, which will hopefully be up in the next few weeks. Just as a big thank you for all your lovely comments and also because I have a lot of bits and bobs that I can't wait to give away! 

Hope everyone's bank holiday weekend was great, mine was very relaxing and brimming with snacks and books (as always)!

DIY Flower Crown


You will need:
Stemmed Flowers - As many as you wish
A plain headband
Artificial leaves
Smaller flowers 

1. Start by aligning where you would like your larger flowers to go and wrap the stem around the headband. Add as many as you wish until it looks something like the picture below.
 2. Next you want to add the smaller flowers in and around the gaps, using the same technique. Spread them as widely as you want or compress several into the same place. I think it looks nice either way.


3. Lastly wrap the leaves around any gaps left, or if you want to cover up any of the bits you are not completely happy with. This also makes it look lovely and realistic.


And that is about it! I love how easy these are to make and also how sweet they make an outfit look. I got pretty much all of my bits to make the crown on ebay, they have a huge array of artificial flowers of all sizes and colours.

What do you guys think and what colours would you choose?

Oh also it is the last day to enter my giveaway, the winner will be decided tomorrow evening at complete random. So if you haven't already entered you can do so here.
