Coachella Style!

It’s that time of year again where we Brits sit at home with a cup of tea, sheltering from the rain, as we envy those living the true festival spirit at Coachella. Here, we have a good couple of months to wait before the festivals start, so Coachella is kind of a chance to prepare and gather inspo.

So, here is a selection of my fave boho festival styles from my Pinterest board, from nail art to flower crowns!

New Shoes!

You know that feeling when you put new shoes on and suddenly everything is right?

So I’m on a family holiday this week in York, and the best thing about here is the best shops are a 3 minute drive away! You’ve got H&M, Topshop, River Island… And they’re all open until 8pm! I think I may have found heaven on Earth…

Anyway, I popped into H&M last night and I fell head over heels (get it?) for a cute pair of flats. It’s not often that I see flats and instantly need them, but these were an exception.

These are actually my first spotty item, and I love them! They were only £7.99, and there were a massive variety of flats. Maybe I’ll have to go back for some more…

Dwi ar gwyliau gyda’r teulu yn Efrog, a’r peth gora’ am y lle ydi mae yna lu o siopau 3 munud i ffwrdd! Mae ‘na H&M, Topshop, River Island… A mae nhw i gyd ar agor tan 8pm! Dwi’n meddwl dwi wedi dod ar draws nefoedd…

Beth bynnag, es i i H&M neithiwr a wnes i ddod ar draws par o esgidiau fflat ciwt yma, a dwi wrth fy modd gyda nhw!

Dim ond £7.99 oedden nhw ac roedd yna amrywiaeth mawr o esgidiau tebyg. Efallai fydd yn rhaid i mi fynd yn ol am fwy…

Rituals Cosmetics – Universo Larita!

Today’s post comes from Maria, founder of Universo Larita! Be sure to check out her bilingual Spanish/English blog!
Mae post heddiw yn dod gan Maria o Universo Larita! Ewch draw i gael golwg  ar ei blog dwyieithog Sbaeneg/Saesneg!

A few weeks ago I could get a free gift set from a famous Spanish magazine called Glamour. A couple of products from the body care brand Rituals Cosmetics. This body range is called Laughing Buddah, which it is made of citric ingredients. I am a lover of all related with citric fruits so I decided to choose this range instead of Sakura range (made of cherry and rice milk), which was also available.

The two products I could try were the two shown at the picture, the body cream Touch of Happiness and a body scrub called Fortune Scrub. I really love the names as they just make you feel positive by just repeating the names to oneself, hehe.

Touch of Hapiness is a body cream which its main ingredients are sweet orange and cedar wood. This last one is the main reason it gives the product its special scent, in my opinion. Despite this, the cream works properly and I don’t find anything special if you compare any other cheap body cream you can find in a drugstore. I don’t think I’d get it again. Since I am only interested in the scent, I’d probabbly get a perfume bottle, available on their website. Anyway, If you are interested in getting the body cream, I gotta say you can only get it if you purchase the gift set, as it is not sold separately, quite weird.

Fortune Scrub is a body scrub to use in the shower. I really really loved this product. It reminds me so much to Garnier Pure Active Fruit Energy body scrub, but this one from Rituals leaves your skin with an awesome body scent. Among its ingredients you can find organic mandarin and Yuzu (a citric fruit grown in Japan).

The truth is, I have never used any product of this brand before and now I am eager to try out more of them. They even have a home range with scented candles or air fresheners.

Is there any other Rituals Cosmetics product would you recommend? Just leave a message below and let me know, thanks! xxx

La revista española Glamour, en su número de Abril, regalaba dos productos de la fantástica marca de cuidado corporal de Rituals Cosmetics. En algunos números los dos productos que regalaban correspondía al rango Sakura (con ingredientes como cereza y leche de arroz) o Laughing Buddah, la que yo escogí, con ingredientes cítricos entre sus componentes.

Los dos productos del rango que he podido probar son la crema corporal Touch of Happiness y el exfoliante corporal Fortune Scrub. Si no pudiste hacerte con ellos, o simplemente estás pensando en comprarlos, aquí te dejo mi opinión!

Touch of Happiness es una crema corporal cuyos componentes principales son naranja dulce y madera de cedro, que creo que es lo que le da ese aroma tan penetrante. Si bien esta crema corporal te deja la piel muy suave, lo que le hace “especial” es su perfume, ya que sus propiedades hidratantes no son especialmente mejores a cualquier otra crema barata que haya probado. Por lo que creo que compraría directamente el perfume antes de la crema. Aunque observando la web, me llama la atención que la crema corporal únicamente la venden dentro del set de regalo completo, y no por separado.

Fortune Scrub una exfoliante corporal, y esta si que me encanta! Me recuerda muchísimo a la exfoliante de Garnier Pure Active Fruit Energy, sólo que esta de The Rituals Cosmetics deja la piel mucho más perfumada. Entre sus ingrediente se encuentran la mandarina y el Yuzu, un cítrico que crece en Japón parecido a la mandarina.

La verdad es que nunca había utilizado ningún producto de esta marca, y tras probarlos tengo mucha curiosidad, ya que incluso tienen productos para casa, como velas aromáticas o ambientadores naturales.

Hay algún otro producto de Ritual Cosmetics que me recomendéis? Podéis dejarlos en los comentarios! Besitos!

image

My name’s Cari Rhodd, Llio’s little sister, and this is my OOTD.

We went shopping on Monday, and I found a gorgeous top from River Island. I love River Island, it’s where I bought my first heels from!

My sunglasses are from H&M, and they’re leopard print on the sides.

My hair is in a fish plait braid, my favourite hairstyle!

Enw fi ydi Cari Rhodd, chwaer Llio, a dyma fy OOTD.

Es i i siopa dydd Llun a wnes i ddod o hyd i’r top prydferth yma o River Island. Dwi’n hoff iawn o River ISland, dyma ble wnes i brynnu fy sodlau uchel gyntaf!

Mae’r sbectols haul o H&M, a mae ganddynt batrwm llewpar ar yr ochrau.

Mae fy ngwallt mewn blethan pysgodyn 🙂

WISH LIST – Tobi

When I browse Tobi’s website, I ALWAYS want something. 

Pan dwi’n edrych trwy gwefan Tobi dwi eisiau pob dim!

1 Top Savior Cardigan

When those summer nights get cold, this cardigan is perfect to keep warm and it will 100% compliment your outfit, whatever it is!

Pan mae nosweithiau’r haf yn dechrau oeri, mae’r gardigan yma yn berffaith i gadw’n gynnes!

2 Buckle Me Down Dress

This dress is available in a range of colours, but black is my favourite! Ye, it might be bra-awkward, but it’s still gorgeous!

Er fod y ffrog yma ar gael mewn amryw o liwiau, du yw fy ffefryn i!

3 To The Point Top

Black, again… But it’s so versatile! You can dress it up and dress it down!

Du, eto… Ond mae’n aml-bwrpas iawn!

4 Cool Autumn Nights Jacket

Autumn might have come and gone, but I think this would be easily rocked on spring-time nights out too!

Do, mae’r hydref wedi bod, ond dwi’n meddwl fod y siaced yma’n gallu cael ei wisgo allan yn y gwanwyn hefyd!

5 Somedays Lovin Insightful Wool Coat

This colour is so so rich and punches your average pastel-ridden spring wardrobe in the face

Mae’r lliw yma mor gyfoethog!

6 Dreams Of Paradise Dress

This dress makes me want to be on a beach-side bar with an endless supply of cocktails…

Mae’r ffrog yma yn gwneud i mi eisiau bod ar lan y mor gyda nifer fawr o goctels…

7 More To Love Top

Barlet tops aren’t really my thing.. But overlayed with lace, it’s perfect, especially complimented with this skirt! I need this outfit!

Tydw i ddim yn hoff iawn o tops barlet.. Ond gyda lace drosto, mae’n berffaith. Yn enwedig gyda’r sgert! Dwi angen y gwisg yma!

Pasg Hapus – Happy Easter

Mae hi’n Sul y Pasg, felly mae hynny’n golygu un peth un unig… Mae hi’n amser bwyta mynyddoedd o siocled cyn crio’n ddi-stop wrth deimlo’n euog am fwyta cymaint! Woooo!

Chocolate eggs at the ready! It’s time to eat your own body weight in chocolate then sob uncontrollably as the pang of guilt hits you.. Woooo!  

OOTD

That feeling then your outfit is on point…

This is my current most favourite outfit, because it’s fusing all my favorite pieces together in one casual comfy outfit.

These boots are my best T K Maxx find EVER. At £50 they were so worth trawling through the mountains of unorganized chaos of footwear. They’re a bit scruffy by now, so any boot-cleaning tips would be much appreciated!

This top is one of my many striped pieces, and it was quite cheap from H&M. I love stripes and how they flatter any body shape!

Good jeans are very hard to come by. Most jeans are either loose fitting or you’re fighting your way into them. However, these jeans, Molly Skinny Jeans from River Island, are PERFECT. Seriously, they’re the best jeans I’ve ever come across and I doubt that I’ll find better ones ever again! They hug in all the right places without being uncomfortable. 

Hwn yw fy hoff gwisg i ar y funud, gan ei fod yn cynnwyd fy hoff dillad i i gyd.

Mae’r bwts o T K Maxx, ac yn costio £50 roedd nhw’n werth chwilio trwy’r mynyddoedd o ‘sgidia bler! Mae nhw ychydig yn fudr erbyn hyn, felly fyddai’n gwerthfawrogi unrhyw tips glanhau!

Mae’r top yma yn un o’n hoff darnau streips, a roedd yn eithaf rhad o H&M. Dwi’n hoff iawn o streips a sud mae nhw’n camol unrhyw siap corff.

Mae par da o jins yn anodd iawn i’w ffeindio. Mae nhw’n unai rhy llac neu mor dynn mae rhaid cwffio dy ffordd i mewn iddyn nhw. Ond, mae’r jins yma, sef Molly o River Island, yn BERFFAITH. Wir, rhain ydi’r jins gora’ dwi erioed wedi gweld a wnai byth ffeindio rhai gwell!

WISH LIST – Motel Rocks

One of my favourite dresses was bought from Motel Rocks, featured in my blog a couple of months ago (here!). I’ve got so so sooo many things I’ve been meaning to buy, so here’s my quick round-up.

Mae un o’n hoff ffrogiau wedi dod o Motel Rocks, a oedd mewn post ar fy mlog ychydig yn ol (yma!). Mae genai gymaint o betha’ dwi eisiau eu prynnu, felly dyma ychydig ohonynt.

1 Delta D Ring Wrap Midi Dress in Black

Simplicity is always my key to a great outfit, and this dress is simply perfect! With a little ring detail, I reckon it could be a pretty versatile dress.

Rwy’n credu mai symlrwydd sy’n gwneud gwisg gwych a di-amser, felly mae’n ffrog yma’n berffaith!

2 Kimono Jacket in Denim Blue

I haven’t been too keen on the recent kimono trend, but this is an exception! I love the 90s vibe of this outfit!

Tydw i heb fod yn rhy siwr o’r trend kimono diweddaraf, ond mae hwn yn wahanol! Dwi’n hoff iawn o vibe y 90au!

3 Deborah Off The Shoulder Dress in Breton Stripe

White/Navy stripes are my absolute FAVE! And an off the shoulder stripe garment? YES!

Dwi’n caru streipiau gwyn/navy! 

4 Antonia Skater Skirt in Museum Floral Coral

The absolute perfect skirt for spring, with punchy colours and a bold print!

Y sgert perffaith ar gyfer y gwanwyn, gyda lliwiau a print bold!

5 Motel Vintage Alexa Maxi Dress

I’ve been DYING to buy one for at least 2 years! And FINALLY I’ve bought one! (OOTD post to follow!)

Dwi wedi bod eisiau prynnu un ers o leiaf 2 blwyddyn! Ac o’r diwedd dwi wedi prynnu un!

6 Vintage Narla Dungaree Dress

How cute is this dress! And in cute polka dots too with a flattering navy tone!

Ylwch ciwt ‘di’r ffrog yma! A gyda polka dots!

7 Replay Equinox Vintage Sunglasses in Tortoiseshell

Last summer, my boyfriend bought me a similar pair and they became my summer-statement-piece and I wore them with EVERY outfit! Unfortunately, they got sat on… So these HAD to be in my wishlist!

Haf dwytha’, cefais bar tebyg yn anrheg gan fy nghariad a roeddwn i’n gwisgo nhw gyda POB gwisg! Ond, wnaeth rhywun eistedd arnyn nhw.. Felly roedd RHAID i mi gynnwys rhain yn y wishlist!

speedy mani!

The gorgeous colours of Barry M’s Speedy Quick Dry collection caught my eye straight away! And it realy does dry in ‘lightning speed’!

With ‘Eat My Dust’, I got a perfect spring shade mani without the burden of having to sit for aaaages for the paint to dry. It also has a flat brush, which I haven’t seen in Barry M before. It makes application super easy and fast!

Now, to collect the other shades.. How about ‘Lap of Honour’…

Cefais fy nenu gan y lliwiau deniadol casgliad Speedy Quick Dry Barry M yn syth!

Gyda ‘Eat My Dust’, cefais y mani perffaith heb orfod eistedd am oria yn disgwl i’r paent sychu. Mae ganddo brwsh fflat hefyd, rhywbeth nad ydw i wedi gweld  gyda Barry M o’r blaen. Mae hyn yn gwneud paentio yn lot fwy rhwydd!

Rwan, rhaid casglu’r lliwiau eraill.. Beth am ‘Lap of Honour’…
