Blogger Style Inspiration #2

  Another style inspiration featuring some of the best people in the blogosphere! I didn't really have a particular 'season' in mind, despite it being the transition from winter to spring here in the UK. Really, it's whatever caught my mind. Although, there are a few layering styles in there!

A Celebration: 3rd Anniversary & New Blog Layout

If you followed me on Twitter, you would know that today marks our 3 years anniversary with the wonderful boyfriend and that he got me a pretty amazing gift (see below) - considering he is 10199.45km away (yes, I googled) Now I don't talk much about my private life on my blog because I'm not that comfortable doing so. but...I'll make an exception for today. 

(Background: We've been in a long distance relationship for 1-2 years now since he's studying in the UK whilst I'm in Vietnam...so we only get to see each other every few months)

Btw, he's a massive Arsenal fan which explains the beanie :P

(Don't mind my locker, it's like a whirlwind struck)

Anyway, this was the surprise I got in my locker this morning. 3 bouquet of roses for 3 years - geddit? I wasn't expecting anything since he's still far far away in the UKso this definitely was a good surprise - turns out he planned it with a mutual friend :')

I love you a lottle brah - see, now the whole world knows ;)

On another celebratory note (but of less importance of course), you may or may not have noticed... I changed my blog layout! 

I wanted a more professional, minimalist and clean looking blog design so I scoured Etsy for a simple and cheap template (only $25) and then proceeded the self-customization process because I wanted to add a bit more colour and vibrance to make this more me. I made myself a new, simple yet colourful header (very me, I must say) as well as a new social media icons as I wanted it to be a paler pink to match the ethereal feel. Next stop: change the category buttons because it's bugging me.

What do you guys think of the new blog layout?

#PrairieXmas

About a month ago, I was contacted by Prairie Charms to get involved in their blogger #PrairieXmas campaign. After browsing through their site and looking at the range of products on offer, I wholeheartedly agreed - besides, a percentage of the sales went to GOSH Children's Charity! I was asked to write down my favourite colours and theme to allow them to personalise my box. I chose pastel colours like pink, blue and purple, with the theme of floral and girly.

The package came neatly and safely in a cardboard box with blue crepe paper!

With a small fee of £5, there was £30 worth of items!

Effie Glitter Bow - £8 / US$ 12

I've been on the lookout for bow hair clips lately and this one couldn't have come at a better time! I love that it's sparkly because come on, who doesn't love sparkles! The colour was spot on as well. The crocodile clip wasn't that strongly glued on, but a bit of super glue would solve that problem. 

Although I would prefer a barette, the crocodile clip means that this little bow can be used for much much more.

As shown on the picture, I used it to bedazzled a normal messy bun!

Of course, you can use it as a hair clip if you want to keep those strands of hair out of your face, or use it to decorate a half up, half down hairstyle. Don't worry, you'll be seeing this little bow quite a bit in my outfit posts ;)

Rania Wraps - £10 / US$16 (for a set of 3)

These are one of my favourites because I love the retro polka dot print and these hold endless possibilities!

There's a wire inside which means you can twist and turn it to your heart's desire. Wrap it around your hair tie, turn it into a bow...entirely your choice. I used them to dress up a normal ponytail, bun and braid! A little bit of polka dotted print makes everything better (:

Vanessa Retro Headband - £10.50 / US$16

This headband also has a soft, flexible wire inside so you can mould it to your head shape and it will stay put!

Although the colour scheme may not by my favourite, I still love the vintage floral print. A headband is great to keep your hair out of your eyes. But if you put it on the crown of your head, it gives a lovely bohemian vibe.

Prairie Charms is based in the UK, but they do ship worldwide! Apart from these items, they've got loads of other things for your tresses as well as jewelry on offer, so do check it out!

Hope you enjoy these 'hair-inspiration' and if you do have such items lying around, be creative with them ;)
