Flowers 'Blossom', even in Winter

I always venture on Facebook to find new and exciting stores to be inspired by, to shop from, or to just recommend to friends. In saying this, a couple of months ago I bumped into a little FB store called 'Blossom' ran by a lovely university student. She hand makes amazing vintage look head bands, but I would rather call them hair pieces as they are so delicate and beautiful.

You know when you see a piece of clothing or accessory, and you can tell that they were made with love? Well whenever I see a piece made by her I can tell she really puts effort and love into every bit of it! I hope she doesn't get upset at me for posting her pictures (and I hope it's legally allowed, eep).

The floral head piece trend has been around for a while, yes, but I think her pieces are just so different and one of a kind. I love stores like Blossom, as they're small and inventive. It's always stores like this that make me take that second glance at them and buy things. Although I haven't bought anything from her yet (due to my lack of job, I am confident that she makes quality products by the customer feedbacks she receives. For international readers I'm not entirely sure if she posts world-wide, but it doesn't hurt to ask.
I was just going to post a bunch of pictures of pieces that she's posted on Facebook but they really don't do justice of how great they really look until you see it on someone.




















I haven't written a post like this before, although I think I'm going to from now on. It's important for these
small home based, hand made stores to receive good advertisement as these are the ones that keep our (Australian) economy running and they're honestly so much more inventive, one of a kind and different than chain stores. It's difficult for a small store to stay in business for a long time, as large chain stores usually have more advertisement. They give your outfit more character, and people will no doubt stop you to ask where you got that interesting piece you have on from. These stores also inspire me to be more creative, to keep on sewing.

If you would like to find Blossom on Facebook just click here and a window will open up with all her goodies! Make sure to like like like :), also here is her Big Cartel Store, where you can also buy pieces from. She also sells at the Young Designer Markets in Southbank Brisbane on Saturday mornings, so if you can get there make sure you check these pieces out in person.

That's all for today, ciao for now :) <3

Ps. I was not in any way asked to or endorsed to write about Blossom, I did it just because I genuinely love her designs :)

Wasting time, like I have so much of it to throw around

I haven't checked in for a while :( There is a legitimate reason this time, I swear. I'm studying like a maniac for my final exams for this semester :(, and it's exam time again *sigh*. I have absolutely no idea where the rest of this semester went to! I swear someone just came along and stole weeks 5 to 8 because I do not have much recollection of  them happening hehe.
To top it all off, my studying is being interrupted by a lovely Easter trip to Sydney with my even lovelier boyfriend (although I'm not complaining, I can't wait). The only thing I hate is the packing, because the thing is that I'm only allowed on-board luggage, and that does not leave much room for things!
Anyway, here's my OOTD :) I hope you all likey!

This will definitely be a rushed post by the way! Unless I get to save it and finish it when I get to my boyfees' house , as I think I'm going to pack my things into a different bag. My post is on LookBook where you can find the brand names (and pleeeease hype me! I would love to be hyped). Here's the link:

I always hassled my mum to take my pictures, but hassling no more! I finally found a remote for my camera, and for only $10.65 :O including postage, I was so thrilled when I saw it as I've been wanting one of them for years but I always thought it was called a clicker not a remote hence me not being able to find it on eBay.

I haven't worn these shorts for quite a while I must admit, I got it from H&M while I was in Hungary last year and it was extremely cheap. So comfy and pretty, although when I bought it, it fit a little less than it does now. Which means I have lost a little weight since then :( actually I'm almost 100% sure I have, which I didn't care for, I liked my 56kg, it looked healthier than what I look like now that's for sure!

I bought my top from eBay, for very very cheap. Big yay to me! :) I didn't realise what it actually had on the top until it arrived, but it has a wolfs' skull on it, but the eyes of the wolf are so capturing...it's so amazing I fell in love straight away.

The reason I have my sunnies on inside (crazy, right??) is because I don't have any makeup on and that does not look good on camera haha. I'm fine with not wearing makeup when I go somewhere, just not on camera in pictures I put online, oh so not pretty.

I also styled a photo shoot on Sunday, which I'm quite psyched about because the photos turned out lovely! I shall upload them in my next post, I didn't think to do it today :(. Now I'm off to pack up in the little bag that I'm allowed to pack into :) But I hope you all have a lovely Thursday xoxo
