Garden of Thorns: taking a risk to be surrounded by pretty roses even if it means getting pricked by their viciously sharp thorns. It's a beautifully piercing experience.

In this outfit, I'm wearing a short floral dress with cut-outs (Primark) and under it I have on a blue lace top (Primark) which ties in with the colors of the flowers on the dress. For Shoes I have on blue ballerina flats (Primark) which is also the color of some flowers on the dress.
Tip: If you are wearing a bold dress with screaming colors and/or patterns then go for solid metallic jewellery that is either gold, silver or gold-rose.
For jewellery, I have on a silver spiked  necklace (Boutique) and a matching silver spiked bracelet (Republic). For rings, I'm wearing on one hand: a silver wing ring (Claire's), a silver ring with a green gem (Boutique) and an owl silver ring (Claire's). On the other hand, I have a silver leaf ring (Primark) and I'm wearing a silver ear cuff   (Primark) as a ring with a leaf hanging from it as a mid-finger-ring.

Floral Royal: the queen of hearts is sweeter than you think!

In this look, I'm wearing a coral-raspberry floral lace top (Boutique) and under it is a lilac crop top (Republic). I've got on a purple lace skirt (Primark) and for shoes I have on a pair of black ballerina flats (Primark) with laser cut-outs and rhinestones that reflect the color of the lace top.

Tip: when in doubt go for a black shoe as you can never go wrong with a neutral color like black.

For jewellery, I have on a red-purple chocker with a heart pendant which I DIY'ed. I also have on a flower crown that I DIY'ed and a pair of purple crystal earrings (Debenhams).

Greek Goddess: immortality is a belief that only a few can make it real.

For this look, I wore a flowy white top with splashes of baby blue and hints of lilac (Boutique) which I dyed and the top has a beautiful lace trim. I also wore a creamy-grey lace skirt (H&M) and a pair of blue ballerina flats (Primark).
Tip: dyeing your stained clothes is a great way of reviving them and giving them a  new life.
For jewellery, I wore a silver cuff with a cross cut-out (Republic), a bunch of silver beaded bracelets (Primark) and a silver bracelet with pastel blue beads. I also wore a silver necklace with silver coins (Primark) and silver earrings (Primark).

Classically Trendy: simplicity is complicated and being trendy is always dated.

In this look, I wore a white and navy blue striped top with a heart-neckline (Primark) and a matching skirt with wider stripes and large silver buttons at the front of the skirt (Republic). I also wore a grey and navy blue striped wide rim summer hat and a pair of blue ballerina flats.
Tip: wearing a summer hat with a large rim is not just a great accessory but a beneficial way of protecting yourself from the sun harmful rays as well as making it easier for you to see.
For jewellery, I kept it simple due to the bold stripes pattern all across this look, with a striped chocker with silver safety pins as a pendant which I DIY'ed.
