The Secret Garden

As the sun appears to have disappeared from England and the temperature is starting to get cooler, the week of sunshine and nice weather seems to have ended, so I decided to look back through some of my pictures from last year when the sun was out. During my visit to Scotland we visited a number of beautiful gardens, I have hundreds of pictures of flowers from these places so it was pretty tough narrowing it down to only a selection (i may have to make another post some time with more of the pictures!)




(Hey dad! I normally wouldn't upload pictures of my family but I just loved the bokeh and lighting of this photograph too much so I couldn't resist)

Flower Power






I just wanted to make a quick post on some of my recent purchases...floral headband/flower crowns! I can't stop wearing them and they make me feel more summery, if only I would wear them to sixth form and get away with it. I've seen a lot of beautiful photographs of people wearing them on Instagram and Tumblr, so I thought i'd give it a go. The Large flower crown was the one I was wearing in my last post WALKING ON SUNSHINE and you can also see it more clearly here (my hair kept getting tangled up in the flowers, so i apologise for the random strands of hair you can see, particular in the last picture)

All of these 3 headbands photographed were purchased from Primark, I think I got a little too excited but you can never have enough floral headband! Also they're not that expensive either. When I was in Topshop I fell in love with THIS floral headband but I thought it was a tad pricey so I opted for one i'm wearing in the photos which was half the price!

Are you a headband hoarder like me? I'd love to see your pictures of you wearing your headband, comment bellow and i'll check them out :)

Walking on sunshine


Hello! Yesterday me and Carmen decided to go on a walk (well quite a long walk) with my camera and tripod to attempt to find someone where to shoot while it was finally sunny in England. After walking for about half an hour we finally came across this gorgeous bright yellow field, that appeared to stretch for miles upon miles. The past few days in England have been so sunny and warm, I'm begging you weather please don't turn cold and grey just yet because it's not even the summer holidays yet! On another note, I have to go back to sixth form on the 10th of June to start year 13, so I only have a few more days left of my mini break, sigh. Anyway here are some of the photos we took. This may be quite a long post, but I couldn't decided which pictures to post oops.





(In case you're wondering who Carmen is...this is Carmen! My best friend yup) 





I bought a flower crown yay!







What photo shoot can be complete without outtakes right....?





How have you guys been spending your break? I'd love to know! Comment bellow what you've been up to with your friends and family :)

Favorite drug store products: Soap & Glory body sprays ♡

I thought I'd do a series on some of my favorite affordable drug store products! Starting with gorgeous Soap and Glory body spays. Soap and Glory are one of my favorite drug store brands that offer heavenly scented spays and lotions to beautiful cosmetics, which in my opinion has the best packaging out there it's so cute!

The sprays photographed above are a perfect mixture of fragrant and floral (i can't get enough of them) and I'd recommend them to anyone. However my favorite would have to be the Mist You Madly bottle (the one shown in the bottom picture). As summer is fast approaching they will come in handy, rather than wearing a  heavily scented perfume, I will opt to wearing these. Also, another alternative to these would be the Natural Collection body sprays, I can't describe how good they smell. My favorites are the Wild Strawberry and the Mango and Papaya ones and they're only £2 which make them even more perfect!
