Flouncy in Floral

Blouse c/o: Mina UK. Skirt: Dahlia. Boots: Hudson. Bag: Zara. Hat: Topshop

Hello my lovelies. I took these snaps before I moved house and in particular for the lovely Lilmisschickas as a guest post whilst she is away on holiday. But of course I wanted to share it with you too! It’s still not 40 degrees, so my tights are firmly on and I am compensating with a beautiful lightweight blouse from Mina that feels like it’s not even there (thank god it is, that could be embarrassing). I absolutely love the colours and the fact that it can be worn in a variety of ways like I’ve done above, or perhaps over the top of a pair of leggings, letting it all hang out, so to speak – it’s actually in the sale at the moment so snap it up whilst it’s hot ladies! I’ve paired it with my newest Dahlia Fashion skirt, which I picked up in the sale for £20 (winning), their sales are incredible and I constantly find myself falling in love with every piece!

On a sad note I’m feeling totally gutted about James Gandolfini (Tony from the Sopranos) passing away, it’s one of my all time favourite shows and he was such a brilliant actor - really tragic.

This morning we had the new carpet fitted in our ‘boudoir’, so this weekend we will be assembling our beaut of a bed and painting up some furniture ready to move in to it (we’re currently sleeping in the spare room).  Exciting times guyssss :)

Overall I’m feeling rather summery and loving that our jackets are being put to one side, even if it is just for a week or two...

How is your week going so far?

Feeling a bit Floral | Crown & Glory

About a year ago, I discovered a beautiful little shop on the internet. Crown & Glory. I am a sucker for any pretty hair accessory, so when I came across this brand I was super duper happy. From turbans to crowns; each piece is individually handmade by the lovely Sophie, & a lot of the pieces are made to order, so you’re guaranteed an original item, every time. Something about that just makes it extra special doesn’t it? 

Having built up a rather large collection of her pieces over the last year, I thought I would show you my most recent purchase:

don't worry...i'm not naked ;)

I bought the Marina - Fuschia Daisy Bandeau & I am absolutely in love. It’s such a beautifully delicate piece, which makes such a bold statement. I picked this one up in the up to 50% off sale and the little beauty was only £9! Amazing right. The whole range is so reasonably priced; and fills what I believe is a huge gap in the accessories market. Yes, there are heaps of shops that cater for hair accessories, but I am yet to find one that has such intricate detail, at such a fantastic price. There is a vast variety of items available, yet each piece is so wonderfully put together, with such care & attention. Plus, the customer service is incredible; always a speedy and ridiculously friendly response. And even better, Crown & Glory can even make up your own individual piece; so if you had an idea that wasn’t quite like what is available on the website, they’ll more than likely be able to cater for your needs. 

I just love everything about this wonderful little spot on the web.

Have you ever purchased from Crown & Glory before? Or do you think you will now?
