Raindrops

 Floral Headband - Portobello Market
Sunnies - Tally Weijl 
Top - H&M 
Skirt - Primark
Shoes - Nike

Today's look is inspired by always wanting a balance between grunge and pastel/florals, so I decided to alternate between the two! Floral headband, raglan cropped top, maxi skirt with a side slit and Nike shoes to complete the outfit. While I know most people are absolutely nuts about them Nikes, I got mine for 17 pounds at a Nike outlet store and they're meant for kids so I don't really know what they are exactly.

I tonged my hair with my favorite Babyliss 1 inch hair curler away from my face. This creates a pretty nice windblown look. On top of that, once all the curls have set, I used a bristle brush to just comb out the ends to have a more natural and less hairsprayed look. I've been taking hopefully, quite good care of my hair lately with special magic oils that make it smell real good. Also, all the pinky red bits on my ends got washed out when I went swimming in the sea last week and my blonde has finally revealed itself! I am a very happy girl.

Earth



I wore my hair in a bone braid. I like to call it a bone braid because it looks like a spinal cord, but it's usually called a mermaid braid if I'm not mistaken. It's basically a mix of a regular french braid and a fishtail braid. You start by french braiding your hair, but pick up your sections in tiny bunches from the sides of your hair and add it to eat segment of the braid. When I got to the end of my head, I continue on with a regular braid to the ends of my hair. You could also Youtube it to get a better idea of what the bone/mermaid braid is supposed to look like!



Today, I am wearing H&M from top to toe. My wonderful bronze colored top was going for 19 bucks at the H&M store in Mont Kiara, and because it's the smallest size left there as well as One Utama and Paradigm, I had to settle for a US 8. The maxi skirt is absolutely ravishing because it's flare with absolutely no slits (thank god) and pockets! Pockets should just be an essential on all women bottoms just because.

I wore these two together even though they're both loose because it's easy to relax and lounge around in. I love the blend of the materials and I've never ever gotten a bronze colored garment before so it's really fun to play around with the earthy tones.

Till next time!

Doomsday

 Beanie: Topman
Crop Top: Fashion Union
Necklace: Diva
Floral Kimono: Forever 21 (I can't find the same one)
Stone-wash High Waisted Shorts: River Island
Boots: Doc Martens

I don't know about you guys, but the big contrast between floral x pastel and grunge always gets me in my guts. I love wearing Docs with floral prints, and I would like to say now that River Island is my go to for shorts like how Topshop is my go to for jeans. I know it's a little pricey but the fit and the comfort and the colors are just to die for.

Garment Monster x Fashion Union

 
Boxy Top: Fashion Union
White Skort: Fashion Union
Double Buckle Boots: Fashion Union

So I love white on white but I can never pull it off because it's hard to wear all white and not look like a frumpy old lady with a giant tummy. I really love skorts because they have pockets and they give you a place for your awkward limbs to hide. I don't really like the back of the skort however because it's very see thru, so it's nude thongs or birthday suit, you pick.

 Emerald Green Maxi: Coccha
Turquoise Pendant: Diva

I love the pairing of these two pieces together! I used to hate the emerald green color because that was the color of synthetic grass and as a child I always hated how ugly and fake it looked, but it's a color that grew on me like moss. I've linked the pieces to the website where you can purchase your own if you'd like! If there are any questions, any questions at all, there is the link section where you ask me on my ask.fm page. Else, there's always the comment section.

Floral Dreams

Top:  H&M
Necklace: Diva 
Skirt: Bershka
Heels: Primark
I pieced this outfit together almost immediately after I bought the top from the outlet next door. In case any of you want to know, it's a non stretchy, chiffon material and it's so see through, so you have to wear a proper bra with it lol. I haven't found many things to match my nude pumps with, but I think the look is delicate and wonderful for dates and faux sophistication. I think I would've rather worn my hair curly but I didn't have the time.

Also, ignore the tesco bag and the buntings at the side. I swear I want to try harder with the looks, but tbh, I can't find anyone to take the photos for me and there's no wide empty space for me to stand except in the flat kitchen.

Anyway, I love you G monstersssssss. Thanks for the endless support! It feeds to my big head and arrogance and I can never repay it back.
