Inspirational Quotes #39

"Stay hungry, stay young, stay foolish, stay curious, and above all stay humble, because just when you think you've got all the answers is the moment when some bitter twist of fate in the universe will remind you that you very much don't."

Crown and Glory Floral Crowns + Mini Giveaway

Flower crowns are my favourite accessories ever and summer is the perfect time to break out the flower power. I bought my first floral crown last year from Crown and Glory and I absolutely adore it so I thought I would treat myself to another floral wonder.

One of the reasons I love to buy handmade is the loving ways the products are always sent to you, last year when I bought my first floral crown it came prettily packaged in sugar paper and this year not only did it arrive all wrapped up in sugar paper it also came in its own Crown & Glory dust bag which I absolutely adore.

Since buying this floral crown last year it's hardly been off my head, I was even wearing it throughout the winter months! I have quite a few different floral crowns and this one is by far the sturdiest, it has kept its shape and not lost a single flower even after a trip in a very full suitcase to Thailand and back!

I've been lusting after these "Lotta Rosie" headbands for the past year and very nearly bought it in lilac but I'm glad I waited because these blue roses are my absolute favourite. I love this headband so much that I've worn it almost everyday since it arrived, it's beautifully constructed and the foam roses make it very light and durable.

Crown and Glory also included these pretty little hairclips in their package to me so I thought I would spread the love by giving them away to one of my lovely readers, all you have to do is be a follower of this blog and leave a comment telling me what's your favourite thing about summer the giveaway is open internationally and the winner will be picked at random on June 30th and contacted via email so good luck!

Long Live Fashion: Recycle Your Clothes With H&M

H&M is one of my favourite high street stores and I love how over the past few years they've been making a real effort to become more eco-friendly by introducing new collections and just recently their recycling program to customers.

"Every year, tons of textiles end up in landfills. But as much as 95% of these textiles and clothes could be used again. That's why we are now collecting clothes in our stores. Clothes of any brand, in any quality and any condition."

And if you need extra incentive for every bag of clothes you bring to H&M they will give you a £5 voucher in exchange which can be used on your next £30 shop and don't worry if you're not U.K. based like me as this recycling program is global, so be sure to ask in your local store next time you visit.

One of my goals for this year was to be more considerate of my purchases and it's good to know that there is at least one shop on the high street trying to make a difference. I've already taken one bag full of my old clothes to them and I'm ready to take another!

Spring cleaning is the best and it's great to let go of all those old clothes and know that they're not going to waste. I can't wait to start planning out my new wardrobe, I'm definitely going to try and invest in some staple pieces and H&M has some really beautiful pieces in their Conscious Collection which will be perfect for the summer season to.

Be sure to let me know in the comments if you're planning to recycle with H&M
