Show of the Day

On the 23rd of October I skipped the ordinary introduction and instead of presenting my eclectic art and scarves , I went on travelling around the Cardiff town to watch Lord of the Flies, a contemporary dance production under the direction of Matthew Bourne and Scott Ambler.

Set design and costumes depicted contemporary school uniforms, and with a mystical touch the designers are reconstructing the deserted island between red, green and yellow lights,nevertheless using mist and a heavy use of metal display. The props on the stage had a multi purpose as the dancers will climb, jump and dance their ritual.

 Every space available was used within the performance and the excellent choreography made the amateurs  young students to blend and achieve exceptional standards. The fluidity of the action projected the dance as soft and poetic,cutting out the violence of the acting which it is very well explained in the fantastic novel of William Golding. The story, the action and the movement were unified under the enchanting tribal sounds feeling the savage atmosphere with emotional intensity.

The most fantastic side of the project is the training of students from depraved areas along with professionals, inspiring young teenagers to join the industry and making a powerful difference in their lives.
The touring brought 13 cities together to celebrate contemporary dance and performance.

3 of the Hottest Accessory Trends for SS21

Just because lockdown restrictions are starting to ease doesn’t mean that you have to go out and buy a brand new outfit. Sure, you want to feel and look good at social events after a year of emotional turmoil. (We get it.) That said, sometimes all it takes is the right accessory to tap into current trends and take your style to the next level. Speaking of, here are 3 of the best accessory trends for Spring/Summer 2021 that would make the perfect addition to your existing wardrobe. Utilitarian Bags Firstly, it’s almost like the fashion industry has accounted for the fact that most of us haven’t needed a handbag in months. By introducing pretty-yet-practical options across the SS21 catwalks , they’re easing us back into the practice of carrying a bag. From Kenzo’s slouchy waist belt, to phone lanyards at Versace, to Dior’s straw grab-and-go versions, the focus is on the smaller, the better.  However, simplified, medium-size bags also did the rounds at Hermès and Prada for those who can’

'Between Bowties & Lady Butterflies'

Outfit details of the week: H&M Trend floral crop top purchased from my latest London trip two weeks ago.  Absolutely adore the print on this particular top, the combination of colours are striking yet brings together a blend of sophistication. What makes it super on trend is that it's made out of the scuba material which is super big this season, and if you haven't' noticed, the cropped length has absolutely taken over the runways! What's not to like.  Paired it with my lovely Topshop white thick cotton flared skirt for a clean crisp look. Love the contrast between the prints and clean crisp skirt.  White is the season's new black. These red hot studded kitten heels from Zara have been a good bargain from last season's sale and I've never regretted getting them.  To top it off, I've styled it with one of our very own CUP OF DAISIES scarves, and I knew instantly it had to be the Lady Red scarf. Fun fact: This particular

Treats From Me, To Me A Week Before Christmas.

With one week to go till Christmas day, I hit the shops to get the last bits and bobs to finally finish the shopping I started almost 2 months ago! I am a self accepted big spender on fashion, but I have been saving my money to spend on all my loved ones for Christmas - so a little treat for myself at the end of this shop was acceptable. The black sparkly sequined cropped top is from NEWLOOK . The original price was £19.99 however, I got it for £9 in the sale! I probably didn't really need another cropped top to add to my collection, but I couldn't stop imaging all the things I could wear with it and all the places it could make an appearance. And for the price, it needed to be taken home with me! You can dress it up with a pencil skirt, or dress down with a pair of high waited jeans. Either way, it will add a razzle dazzle to your outfit. THE BOOTS!! RIVERISLAND £25 SALE - WOW, these boots are so fun, and 90's and I just want to be a Spice Girl when I wear them
