Mexican inspiration

So not so long ago I went to a themed party where I took inspiration from the incredible Frida Kahlo who has been a hero of mine from a young age. She is so unique and unusual and an amazing creative spirit so I really enjoyed trying to put a look together. I braided my hair over the top of my head and used a lay that had been decorating my room to act as flowers in my hair (the real flowers had already withered in the Autumn cold) . In Frida's honor I gave myself much stronger brows than usual and lively Latin red for the lips! Much as I loved it, I'm not sure about it for an everyday look (I've seen more and more flowery headbands on the highstreet but they're a bit OTT from college methinks!).
