A romantic dinner, a party Very glamorous, one evening with friends or a corporate event: all moments in life where an accessory fresh from the store would be really useful. We are women, we want to be unforgettable every time! So, observing the street style of my city, I realized that the latest trends fashionistas come to our aid: Flora has literally invaded the outfit day & night. From crowns to the prints, passing through jewels And shoes, if you don't wear a flower you are nobody. Flowers among the hair, flowers on the clothes, flowers on pins, combs And headbandsIn short, flowers, flowers, flowers, not just for brides and bridesmaids!
And, besides, I believe the charm and positivity that a natural element can bring is certainly inimitable. There's no one who doesn't burst into a beautiful smile when they see it.
It's spring, baby! It's finally here! spring and with it also the moment to "get some tone". So let's do it by inserting it into our look Something plant-based!

4. Arrange the eucalyptus branches harmoniously around the flower and wrap everything with gutta-percha.
