Cup of Daisies Styles

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 ...

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...

Remember how 'pink' was the IT colour that dominated most of the bleak winter chill, hence the 'pink coat' was one of the most sought after looks that came out of the season's most lust worthy item. Resembling shades of cotton candy floss dotted round catwalks and the streets, how could we all resist! Source: whowhatwear.com Source: LaurenConrad.com Well this season's new pastel on the block seems to be hues of sky blue and green. Resembling clear skies and the ocean, giving fashionistas alike the optimism to hope for an early Spring in the air. There's always a subtle allure with pastels during spring that is well contrasted from the dramatic attractions of rich colours like burgundy and royal blue for autumn/winter. The softness in pastels create a look of gentle elegance but be no fool, it has the power to make quite a statement, especially when styled with sleek black.

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...
