Hello!

Hurray! Here it is our first real post with pictures and everything! We thought it would be a good idea to introduce ourselves properly so we’re both going to answer a few questions to help people get to know us better. As you may be able to tell from our surroundings in the pictures we live in the middle of nowhere (aka the Yorkshire Dales), however you won’t often find us rocking the Barbour jacket and checked shirt combo. We both love to dress differently and hopefully this post will show off a little bit of our personal styles, enjoy!

Welcome to Wild Flowers

Hello and welcome to Wild Flowers! We are Daisy and Lily Orrell (See what we did there, we both have flower names – genius) and this is our little blog. Both of us have been meaning to start blogging for a while and finally realised – why not team up as an all-powerful, sisterly blogging team?! So, here we are. Although we are sisters, we both have very different and distinct personal styles and we though the sort of yin-yang effect we have going on would work well on a blogging platform – complementing and contrasting with each other to provide variety and appeal to a wider readership. Really this blog is a creative outlet for the two of us, as we both have a huge interest in not only fashion, but a whole range of other areas that we will be writing about alongside traditional style and beauty posts. We will be posting regular content on a range of topics so stay tuned for some (hopefully) fun and faaaabulous posts!


-Daisy and Lily.
