The Little Things Which Matter Most....

Hello everybody!

As a lot of you may be aware that Facebook yet again has a new tag craze - 5 photo nomination. In case you don't know it's where you all nominate each other to upload 5 photos that make you happy. After seeing these dotted around and being nominated myself it got me thinking that no matter how old you are there are always little things which always make you happy. These things aren't always the most important things - like winning an award but little things like :

❤ Relaxing with a nice hot drink
❤ Freshly fallen Autumn Leaves
❤ Outings to unknown places
❤ Small jokes only you and a friend understand
❤ Time spent with loved ones

These all often have the same effect on us like the big important things and by capturing these moments we are all able to look back and re-live those feelings of living in the moment!

Just remember that no matter how tough life gets .. It's the little things which matter the most! They make us happy and create the best memories!

Rockabilly Inspired Hairstyles

Hey guys!

So recently I've been loving vintage / rockabilly hairstyles, which I have become some of my "go to" looks. They look somewhat challenging but when you get the hang of it then are so easy and look amazing, cute and pretty!

I will be leaving links at the bottom to the videos and YouTube channels which inspired and helped me learn! 

❤Pompadour❤

This style has to be my most work look. It's quick, easy and looks lovely for when you want your hair/ fringe off your face ( like on those bad hair days). This stlyle can be worn with your hair down or up in a ponytail or messy bun and accessorised with a bandanna or small fower (or any clip in hair accessory like a bow or headpiece).  

❤Front Pin Curl ❤

This has to be my second vintage "go to" style. It takes a few attempts and practises to achieve a satisfactory curl, but once you're happy with it, it looks cute and gives you a whole vintage look. Like the Pompadour this style can be worn with your hair up or down with curly hair and accessorised with a flower, bandanna or headpiece. When I do this style I tent to just do a single curl at the front of my head- but you can get creative and add multiple curls to create a more artistic Pin Up Rockabilly look (similar victory rolls). 

❤Pomp Curl❤

This style is cross between the Pompadour and Front Pin Curl. Instead of rolling from the side you roll the hair back to create the pompadour and curl (will be explained in the link at the end). This style looks great pinned up and really emphasises the whole vintage look. Again Like the other two this looks great with a Flower, Bandanna or headpiece. 

❤Victory Rolls❤

This style has to be one of the most common and iconic vintage and Rockabilly hairstyles. Every time I see pictures I just simply fall in love! For me I feel that this is a more going out rather than casual style  but its lovely neither the less! (I've never really attempted it as much as the others so sorry if it's not top quality).  After many experiments this image was the outcome and the once I am most proud of!
As the rolls are positioned at the top of my head I decided to accessorise with a small flower but like the other three any hair piece, scarf or bandanna will look lovely with this style and really give you a whole Vintage, Retro and Rockabilly look! (I shall defiantly be wearing it when I go out to Rock N Roll nights or parties).

Video Tutorials Used:

Please feel free to tweet or tag me in any Instagram posts of your attempts I would love to see them! Happy experimenting!

Favourite Lipsticks

For me Lipsticks and Lip glosses have become a huge part of my look whether it's for going out, casual or for effect, I am rarely seen out and about bare lipped! I realised the other day that I have built up quite a collection but I still tend to wear the same ones over and over, so I thought I would share them with you! ( Some of the paint work has faded on some due to me taking them around in my bag).  

Lipsticks:

 ❤ Rimmel Kate moss "107" ❤

 ❤ Rimmel Kate moss "01" ❤

❤ Collection "3 sugar plumb"❤

 ❤ L'oreal caresse "06 Aphrodite Scarlett"❤

❤Revlon "447 black cherry"❤

❤Topshop "Beguiled"❤

❤Collection lip butter "3 vintage rose"❤

❤ Rimmel lip butter❤ 

Lip glosses :

❤Tanya burr "vampire kiss"❤

❤Tanya burr "smile, dream ,sparkle"❤

❤Maybeline colour sensational lip gloss "420 glorious grapefruit ❤

❤Rimmel vinyl gloss "pin up"❤

❤L'oreal glam shine " 407 magnetic nude glow"❤

❤Rimmel apocalips "400 Big Bang"❤

As you can tell some of those have been used quite a lot and they are all similar colours and shades  (As most of the glosses are worn over the lipsticks to give it that extra shine!) and as Autumn and Winter approaches now is the perfect time to bring out the Reds, Darks and berry shades!

Quick Update And A New Beginning!!!

Hello everybody!

This is just a quick post to update you all on what's going to happen over the next month, and a little abit about what's happened to this blog! As you can see I have changed the layout and URL of my blog. 

Reasons for the change in name!

I decided to change from "flower-crowns-and-pygmy-puffs" to "pin-curls-and-rockabilly-girls" because I didn't really feel like it was "Me" any more... after coming back from a break the name didn't really appeal to me so i decided to have a make over. Even though these things have changed my posts will still be around the same Fashion, Beauty and life topics as before... plus a few extras! (listed below). 

Ok so first things first! - lack of updates! 

I have realised that this year has been quite quiet on this blog and I apologise for being absent! I have made a few posts which were meant to go up,

But due to a few things that happened I was unable to upload ( explained below). 

1. This year has been quite rough for me and I've been having a really hard time with stress, depression and a little bit of anxiety!  There was a lot of thins which contributed to the cause ( which I won't mention) but all these things got on top of me which lead to a kind of breakdown where I simply shut everything out and stopped doing a lot of things. 

2. School and A-levels just took over my life! I had so much stuff to do in so little time ( contributed to above). Because of this I just couldn't find the time to write posts or even upload anything to here. 

3. As well as school my job become a huge part of my life. When I wasn't doing school stuff I was at work ( getting in those overtime hours ;) .... Not that fun at all). 

Ok so explanation over! Here's what's going to happen next ....

1. Remember I mentioned I had a few posts I didn't upload ? Well during the course of this month I shall be uploading posts from summer both throwbacks an small changes which occurred.

2. I shall be posting on a weeklyish schedule - balancing with work and school ( so most pro my Sundays). 

3. The reason for the return it because  recently I have been watching zoella's vlogs which has made me motivated and   Inspired to start things up again! And it made me realise how much I enjoyed and missed blogging! 

4. During my time away my style has changed a little.. I still love pretty collars, flower crowns and my lush products (still addicted!).  But recently I have a huge love for all things 1950s, vintage and rockabilly- clothes, hair, house wear, music etc ... I'm just in love! So these things will be making an appearance sometime soon! 

Ramble over haha! Thank you to everyone who takes time to read ... Feel free to visit any of my social sites and contact me :) 

Love you all! - see you soon!

Cats- The Musical

Hello Everybody! 

I know it has been a while and I apologise! A-levels, Work and other things have literally taken over my life! I literally haven't had time to pick up a camera and vlog in ages (even though I really really want to). So back in March 5th-8th I was in my school's Musical (Cats). It was a long process which started all the way from September where we auditioned, got casted,  learnt all the lyrics and the Choreography for the show. 

As being in the shows is a huge part of my life ( I've been in everyone since year 9) and something I really enjoy doing I thought that I would share a few Pictures with you!

This show was such a great experience to be a part of and I am so sad that it is over! But I have some amazing memories and  have met some great new friends!
I'm sorry for not uploading anything on here and YouTube in a while! But I promise as soon as my exams and coursework are over I will pick it all up again and do things more regularly. 

Jess ❤
