The Sunday night theme for Beautiful Days 2009 is FLOWER POWER! Thank you for all your suggestions and we know many of you are already planning some great outfits and accessories for this year. After masks, hats & wigs and our glitter theme last year we wanted to make sure we choose something colourful for 2009 so even if you already have an idea then just add something retro, psychedelic or hippie to your outfit!
