SHABBY CHIC ♡

༺Photo Diary : A rainy day in Italy ♥

Ciao! This particular day in Gravagna I mainly spent inside - just like i would do back home on a dreary day. Luckily in Italy, despite it thundering outside, the air remains pretty hot, so shorts are still most definitely the 'dress code'. As you can see by the door of our house in the background, it's all quite rustic looking and full of character. I guess it could be called old-school 'shabby chic'?

I bought these worn out looking medium blue denim shorts not too long before we left for Italy. These are from H&M , and in a size 8 they are the perfect fit for me. They are a little frayed at the edges, and slightly high waisted so look good with pretty much any style of top. Here is a similar pair being sold by H&M online - SHORTS.

Right about this time, i really regretted not taking a spare bottle of hair dye with me, as my roots are coming through quite dark at the top. 
Going back to basics, we had to collect twigs from our cellar to start up a fire. Without an oven, we (well..my dad) had to cook everything this way.

My charcoal grey/black Girls Rebellion top is sleeveless, and has studs on the shoulders. I ordered this online a while ago, so here are two other tops I found; both with different similarities to mine. This ones from TopShop and has a print with studs -TOP1
This one is from House of Fraser and is sleeveless with studs -TOP2.

This Flannel shirt was probably one of my best buys from Urban Outfitters Urban Renewal range.It's navy blue and dark green, and I bought it in the men's section to ensure it was baggy. Usually in the heat I would just tie it around my waist, however England is very rarely hot! Here is a very similar Urban Renewal shirt (from the women's section) - UO.SHIRT.

GROWING FLOWERS ON MY FACE?!

SPECKLED LILAC SPARKLY FLOWER FACE ? ♡ Ive been growing very bored of doing similar makeup on the day to day , so I have decided to mix it up a bit. Not really sure what this lewk is, but who doesn't love sparkles, flowers and fake freckles ?! HEHEHE  None of the products I use are particularly expensive because - a) I'm young and poor & b) Branded and expensive , doesn't necessarily mean better queens! Here are some of the product's I used: Eyes - Superdrug Fantasy Queen of Darkness hair  glitter pot.   Also a shimmery lilac eyeshadow - which is sold out but here's one  similar one. Eyelashes -  Superdrugs own brand  (cut in half so only on the ends). Faux Freckles - I used a mixture of water based face paint for the darker bits and Nyx  liquid white eyeliner. I'm definitely no makeup artist , but hopefully this inspires someone to experiment a little. Let me know what you think ! Mia  ♡

HAPPY PRIDE TO EVERY MEMBER OF THE LGBTQ+ GANG  ! Hope everyone is living a super duper proud life , and loving whoever the hell they want to. Me and Esther had such a good time this year having a boogie around trafalgar square - we joined in with a silent disco, and we got to watch Alyssa Edwards from Drag Race perform like the queen she is! We also managed to find a very lovely group of people to tag along with until the early hours, along with one of my good friends from school. I feel like it's so much easier to make friends, and come across as 'approachable' when your all glittery and covered in rainbows, haha! Here is what we wore for London Pride and what we used to make us SPARKLE.. My Outfit -  (shop the look) Rainbow bandeau (£5) from Boohoo -  CLICK HERE. Acid Debbie Shorts from Dollskill (newly reduced) -  CLICK HERE. Velvet Western Belt from Boohoo -  CLICK HERE. Handmade rainbow Earrings from NoBasicBombshell -  CLICK HERE. Holographic

PUSSIES AGAINST TRUMP

The Million Woman March (London) It was overwhelming to see how many supporters - male and female - had gathered around London. Everyone , no matter what they looked like (or colour, sexuality , age) was joining in with banners and posters ; marching , shopping and making the best out of a bad situation. People were actually stopping to talk to one another , and smiles were shared between complete strangers which was sadly strange to see. It's odd how sometimes all we need is a common threat and lack of humanity , to trigger a friendly , compassionate and HUMAN side to us all. Mia <3
