Happy International Women’s Day !

 I aim to support women as much as possible and through my scarves I want to make a statement that we help the community in need .This is why my scarves have a social responsibility feature, of which I am proud.  This week for the International Women’s Day we are featuring the Lady Red scarf  supporting Tenovus  , Blue Pineapples for Save the Children and Purple Orchids helping ADRA UK.  This year, I pledge to support and empower women around me and in future collaborations.  Maya Angelou said: “Success is liking yourself , liking what you do, and liking how you do it .” Happy International Women’s Day !!

Guest Blogger- Photographer Michaela Howe

I'm a third year Photography in the Arts student, studying at Swansea Metropolitan University of Wales Trinity Saint David. I am working as a Photography intern for Cup of Daisies. My personal work is mainly portraiture, through Cup of Daisies I have been able to continue that interest, develop my portfolio and continue meeting new people. Working as an intern involves photographing people wearing Cup of Daisies products in the street and in a studio. In order to get models I have to approach strangers, and engage with them, discussing the company and the charities it is working for. I aim to approach 'stylish' looking people, to create a stylish portrait. Although fashion is a new area to me, I felt it came quite natural, it was easy to spot someone who fashionably stood out. In my personal work I usually enjoy working in the studio more, however working for Cup of Daisies I enjoy the street photography more. This is because I enjoy meeting new people, and dire...

RED NOSE DAY and the Hindmarch bags xx

Oscar Wilde: Be yourself everyone else is already taken! At "Cup of Daisies", we try to mix a bit of eclectic fashion with the relationship between charities and social awareness! So, especially for Comic Relief, me, I come out to strike a pose for Shelter Cymru, ADRA UK, Noah's Ark Appeal, Tenovus and Merlin UK, because standing up for a social cause improves your society, and together we do better! My selected design from the Comic Relief campaign for March 2015 was designed by Anya Hindmarch...yes, the Hindmarch bags!                                                              I am wearing the Nosebot!      ...

Guest Post: Panagiota Prokopi

We welcome our very first Guest Blog Post series of the season,  Panagiota Prokopi, who's a  fashion enthusiast and blogger from Cyprus. Read on to discover her distinct and individual sense of style. "Hi everyone, I am Panagiota, a 24-year-old girl living in Cyprus. An all-day-dreamer and a life lover, my ultimate fashion do's are picking up pieces I like to mix and match. I'm also a self-declared collector of jewellery and all sorts of accessories from headpieces to rings and many more statement necklaces. For me, style means being able to use the same piece for a ton of different outfits and not being afraid to be different. I always love Anna Dello Russo's style, she is my all-time fashion icon. The few things I can't live without are- my lipsticks, my accessories and my Nikon SLR camera."  Panagiota's top outfit picks for Spring:  And a peek into her lipstick and accessories collection: Panagiot...

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...

Twirling among fall leaves

( CUP OF DAISIES LADY RED scarf , H&M Trend crop top, Topshop flared skirt, Zara studded heels, D&G quilted bag) One more week left before the autumn term breaks for Christmas holidays. I'm currently on the MA Arts Management course at RWCMD, Cardiff. One year full-time student, though this is year marks my 5th academic year in Cardiff. Can't believe how quickly time flies- already 3 months in as a masters student, while distant memories of the undergrad graduation over the summer can sometimes still feel like yesterday.   December is always the month to reflect on the passing year, and the one ahead. Personally, I love the excitement of what the future will hold. Joan x photos courtesy of Mark Tan
