Faux-King Sass

Faux-King Sass

April showers are in full effect and I don’t doubt that I’m not the only one slightly over it already? February teased us with some warm weather, but we’ve certainly been put back in our places real quick! I’ve chosen to see the bright side of this as I’ve now been lead back into my wardrobe so I can slay in my sassiest coats and jackets. This green jacket literally had me feeling like a FAUX-KING Queen so my “Royalty” slogan t-shirt accompanied by a crown felt necessary.

Bestival Sass '18

Bestival Sass '18

This year Bestival made it's return on August 2nd - 5th at the incredible Lulworth Castle for four days of sassy, glitter fuelled and EXTRA AF fun. Let me just begin by praising hallelujah to the fact that they decided to hold the festival a month earlier this year. As much as I enjoyed it in September unfortunately if you live in the UK you'll understand the frustration that is accompanied by September due to the uncertainty of weather conditions. Muddy boots aren't quite as much fun and most definitely are not sassy! Anyway, this year Bestival attendees were graced with endless sun and it was incredible.

If you've been keeping up with my festival glamping over the past couple of years then you'll know how much I love staying with Hotel Bell Tent. The name of their company pretty much sums up the type experience you will have. Their pamper tent is definitely my favourite part of the package which comes with huge hollywood style mirrors perfect for all sassy festival queens to get ready each morning. Guest facilities consist of a reception where the staff are based to host guests, a phone charging tent, pamper tent and a cosy communal tent for relaxing.

This year's theme was 'Circus' which obviously means dress as crazy and as colourful as you can, so I did just that. As much as I idolise Grace Jones she definitely gave me a run for my money with the plethora of gorgeous headdresses that she wore for her sassy performance. Now when I say never fail to show up and slay EXTRA AF, that is how we should all do it! Yaaas Grace Jones. Make sure to watch my 'Festival' highlight on my Instagram to catch up if you missed out on my live Bestival updates.

El Dorado Festival Sass '18

El Dorado Festival Sass '18

El Dorado Festival where do I even begin? Three years running, three times better than ever and three days of sassy festival fun. Let's just start with the fact that the weather was on point! Not a cloud in sight and the sun was shining over the beautiful site set in Herefordshire's Eastnor Castle. Of course your girl was glamping with Hotel Bell Tent who never fails to impress with their super cute luxury bell tents.

This season I made it my mission to ensure my festival outfits were to be even bigger and EXTRA AF. I was lucky enough to work with three of my favourite festival/carnival themed brands Feathers & Thread, RML Designs and Seadragon Studio. The dress up themes for this year was their traditional 'Gold treasures' and 'Disco Kings & Queens.' So obviously as the festival Queen I had to come through and serve some sassy festival goodness for you all.

Let's start with these INSANE feather headdresses! Every Queen needs a crown right? The talented Anna Turton of Feathers & Thread cooked up some serious magic with these headdresses. The Gold feather sequin headdress is carefully handmade with peacock feathers and finished of with gold sequin detail. Feathers & Thread's new collection consists of their carefully constructed luxurious feather mowhawks that are undeniably designed to SLAY & stand out from the crowd. Also designed by Feathers & Thread are the epaulette shoulder pieces which were the perfect addition to my Saturday & Sunday themed outfits. I had a vision, we discussed ideas and they were executed above and beyond my wildest expectations! Shop the Feathers & Thread store here and be amazed.

If you're after the ultimate festival bra or accessories then you definitely need to check out RML Designs. San Diego based designer Marisa Nicole created my stunning festival bra's and fluffy purple sergeant hat. All of her designs are also handmade with the most exquisite detail. The fluffy sergeant hat pictured was finished off with LED lights. Marisa has also introduced a brand new collection of funky sergeant hats to store (which I admittedly would love one of each), each of which can be styled in an array of outfits whatever the occasion.  Shop the RML Designs Etsy store here.

It's safe to say that El Dorado definitely has to be one of my favourite festivals. I've been attending since their first year and it's been fantastic having the opportunity to watch them grow. This is a music festival that has maintained it's essence of boutique uniqueness, a wonderland of fun and fantasy. This year they introduced their brand spanking new woodland stage 'The Nest.' Tucked away under the trees this new stage definitely is their hidden gem with awesome jungle vibes. Headlined by Mr Scruff the atmosphere was incredibly fun and lively.

Their sassy performance concluded with a an amazing fireworks display. Can we please just enjoy it all over again please? I'm already looking forward to next year! Check out the official pictures on their Facebook page here.

For the duration of the festival I was also a busy butterfly capturing lot's of filmed footage of my outfits and my overall El Dorado experience.

Hey darlings,

Wanna know what I've been getting up to for the past few months? Welllllll... I decided to start the process of laser hair removal. Now let's be honest, for those of you who also prefer to be smooth and hairless the process of constant shaving, waxing etc can be rather tedious. Now before I get into the details I want to make it very clear that I completely respect those of you who prefer to stay au natural, it's all down to personal preference and regardless a woman/man's body should be respected.

Inside Clinic.jpg

So, I had been contemplating the laser hair removal route for a few years now however I'd read about some horror stories/rumours that had slightly put me off. However further research lead me to come across Pulse Light Clinic who offer a range of skin treatments specialising in laser treatments such as laser hair removal.

The benefits of laser hair removal:

1. Reduction of ingrown hairs

2. Smoother skin

3. Not having to shave or wax

4. Less irritation to the skin

5. Permanent hair reduction

6. Reduces excessive hair growth (PCOS)

7. Smaller pores & easy stress free body

The way laser hair removal works is by the laser targeting the melanin in the dark hair follicle, to which the hair follicle is destroyed through a process called Photothermolysis. But as a lady with dark skin which obviously means high levels of melanin this was a concern, which then lead me to wonder "how on earth is that supposed to be safe if used on dark skin?" However after speaking with Pulse light clinic and reading into the treatment it was brought to my attention that newer laser machines have been designed to detect dark skin from the hair follicle, resulting in successful treatments for people with dark skin too. The most recommended laser for dark skin is the Gentle Max Pro.

I quickly booked my consultation a their Tottenham Court Road clinic which is free of charge including a patch test, after 48 hours I was ready to start my laser hair removal treatment. The results Have been incredible! I could literally notice a difference after my first session. The recommended amount of sessions are up to eight dependant on the persons hair every six weeks. Head over to their website here for further info about laser hair removal and their range of services they have on offer. Keep your eyes peeled for news about what area I'll be moving onto next! 

Stay sassy, xoxo
