DIY: Flower Crown

Hi guys so I'm going to briefly explain to you how to make a easy do it yourself flower crown. If I knew I was going to do this blog post I would of included pictures along the way so sorry guys :( but i'll try my best to explain to you how I did it and add pictures at the end of the finished product.
So I think flower crowns are so cute and beautiful for the fall time and also if you just want to do a fancy dress or maybe for a event that's going on. When I wore mine it reminded me of a bridesmaid haha. They are super cute and adorable to wear not forgetting easy! 
So here's what you will need: 
-thread 
-needle 
-flowers (I used some from my garden and cut some off but you could use artificial ones or anything like Daisy's will work as well) 

So first what you do is get all your flowers, like I said I cut mine from the garden. Mine were pink and all pretty much the same size but I think it would look even more adorable if you also used leaves, Daisy's, different sized flowers but that's all your choice. 
So get your needle and thread and measure it round your head to fit. 
Once you done that cut it and tie on to needle like usual. 
Then start threading it through the middle of the flowers and keep on going until your flower crown is completed. It's easy as that! I alternated the flowers as well so some were facing each other and some weren't as it gave it a better realistic effect. Make sure to tie it as well so you can pop it on your head afterwards.  
So I hope you understand as they are honestly super easy to do and fun to make. You could also use it to tie round a bun as that also looks nice. :) 
And another idea is to instead of cutting it tie a knot at the end instead and let it be one long string and do a plait in you hair whilst clipping it at the top and plaiting it in with the flowers. This look will look amazing with someone with longer hair. 
So thanks for reading! Hope you make one as sometimes Claire's and other places like Topshop are quite expensive just for a headband when you can make one instead.

Everyday and school hairstyles

So I titled it everyday and school because the hairstyles I'll be showing will be easy to wear on a everyday basis or if your just plainly finding trouble with what to do with your hair. So everyone hates bad hair days especially when it's school as your sometimes in a rush and have no time to maybe curl or straighten your hair. So here are just some hairstyles that would be quick and easy to do whenever and wherever, and look great for school.
First one is a braid. Now there's lots of different braids that can be done such as a normal 3 piece braid or a French plait but my pick is the fish tail plait. At first it might look hard to do but trust me with enough practise you will be amazing! There's lots of tutorials out there too if your struggling to get the hang of it.
I love this hairstyle as it goes with any hair type and the best thing is that you can make it look messy on purpose as it gives the style more of an edge to the look. 
Next hair style is the messy bun. I love this look as its cute and very easy to do especially when you have shoulder length hair. All you need to do is tie it in a normal ponytail and twist you hair round and keep hold with some bobby pins. You can always decorate your look as well with a bow clip or a headband too. And remember it doesn't matter if its not perfect as it gives it more of a edge. Putting a headband on can also save a hair day disaster. 
Next one is a concealed ponytail. I really like this look as it makes your pony tail look less boring. All it is a ponytail with a peice of hair wrapped round your bobble and you secure it with bobby pins. It takes literally 5 mins to do but looks more nicer! So you should really have a go at this one as it looks pretty and classy at the same time. You can also put it to the side hanging down over your shoulder rather than a high ponytail but its totally your choice. 
My last one is the fake blow dry look! This will only take a few minuets as its probably the quickest to do put of all of them. So what you do is after prepping your hair with a heat protectant, quickly  blow dry your hair so that your hair is only a little damp. Then, wrap your hair into a bun and secure it down with one or two bobby pins. While on your way to school or work, leave it in, then once you’ve arrived, take out the bun and shake your hair out. This will give you a blow-dried look with minimal effort. The higher the bun, the more volume your hair will have, the lower the bun, the less.
Or you can use salt spray which works really well too and gives the same effect.
