DIY: flower crown

Nothing fancy,nothing complicated!Lets just say this is a sort of reminiscence of my childhood play.A simple flower crown i used to make with my neighborhood kids when we were small.Still now,everytime i see these flowers in the field,I get pretty nostalgic.

And I’m not sure if u guys know the name of this flower,nevermind neither do i.But its plenty found in the open fields & meadows around Kathmandu.I remember when I was a kid,we would take our dogs for a walk in the fields and bring back home these flowers.We would make tiaras,bangles & all sort of bearings a princess would wear.The kind of feeling that made me think of The Princess & Frog Dog haha..That was a long time back and today when my little cousin brought home these flowers,i was back to being a kid again.

So,im guessing you want to make one of this too,right?Its easy-pisy.see below:

beautiful pattern init?

1.Make a little bunch & take a flower or two
2.Place the flower just below the adjacent flowers on top
3.Wrap the stem around the bunch
4.Bring the stem back to the same place after running the stem above the same flower & continue the same.

 

TADA!

You could also try with more colourful & big flowers,just remember cut the stem long if you are making by this version ok?

Talking of which,almost everyone is rocking the flower crowns this spring & It was seen plenty in this years coachella festival in palm springs,CA.I could write a whole post dedicated to the street style in that festival! hmm..looks like i found topic for my next post haha

These two friends rocked flower crowns w/ dreamy makeup looks — & smudgy eye shadow.Now thats what im talking 'bout!

So whether your going for a music festival or a trip for a day or so,,spend some bucks on the flower crowns or get crafty!Tuck it in your hair,wear your summer dress,feel like a princess & definitely be ready for some long glares ;) Who would have thought a mere childhood fantasy would turn to be a fashion staple!

First Weeks Of Spring

Its been a while hasn’t it?The long chilly winter passed by & spring is here while my life’s still in the state of hibernation.Everyone around just seems to be happier though(maybe it’s the anticipation of summer or maybe everyone’s seasonal affective disorder is finally wearing off).But for whatsoever reason,I haven’t had the energy & motivation to blog lately.Iv been jailing myself in my room for last two months.If im going to be completely honest,iv only ventured outside my house just a few times mainly just to meet up with my bestfriends.I spend most of time jumping from one url to another,reading archives of my favourite bloggers,listening songs,watching the new episodes of ‘melisa & joe’ & other times running errands at home.
Last weekend I helped out  my old aunt with the gardening.And the highlight of the week was visting my old workplace.One of my closest friend(more like sister)who worked with me had come over to my place & after spending the half of the afternoon chatting & watching episodes of ‘sawadhan india’ we thought we make a sneak visit to our used-to-be-workplace & say hello to our fellow mates.Its funny how the same place I worked for a long time seemed like a new place with memories stitched beforehand.I had a very nostalgic feeling the whole time.A part of me missed working there while I also knew I have to move on & explore new things that are still ahead of me.We ended up hanging there the whole evening.

These are some photos i took last week while we were gardening at our terrace.Since our backyard is concretely cemented,we have to raise these babies up here.Let me tell u my old aunt is so obsessed about gardening.She looked like a little kid smiling at the new toys while she was unwrapping plastic sheets from the flower saps.

new pots!

my neighbour planted theirs just a week before.

Im getting good vibes about this spring and see im making progresses already(tiny ones).Like I came out of my cave & lounged around doing these stuffs.So here's to the spring arrival & hopefully more blogging in coming weeks.Lets take this as a excuse to start fresh & get motivated again to do the things that we kept putting off till “tomorrow”.Happy weekend ya'll.

ps. who’s excited about release of ‘fifty shades of grey’ in Nepal?haha im.
