Curly Care

 Calling all curly heads!!!!
I have discovered something amazing for our locks and I'm not afraid to share it!


       (Awkward, awkward, awkward...)
Short anecdote: I have recently developed really curly hair, don't ask me where it's come from because I really do not have a clue! But yeah, as much as it surprises me everyday with how wild it is, it can also be a bit frizzy and is hard to tame (I get called lion a lot) so there you go, the mysterious tale of the random Afro...

So are we all braced and ready to see my new favourite hair product? Who am I kidding you've already had a peak at it!
So it's the Umberto Giannini shampoo and conditioner and at times like this I'm glad I'm not a YouTuber because that's a mouth full!

I'm writing this now with, if I do say so myself, revitalized curls, from the big ones to the miniature ones thanks to my use of this product a couple of hours ago! It's called "curl friends" therefore is a god send friend for curly heads like me and I have definitely developed a best friend type relationship with this product. No, that is weird! Maybe if you used it you would know. I begun to think the curly hair was just a short-term experience when my hair started displaying more of an array of frizz rather than curls but HEY PRESTO I'VE FOUND A WINNER!
This is a hair friend which I insist on sharing, ps: it smells damn good too!

(My next blog will be of the clothes show buys)

Luscious Skin

Lush never fail to impress me with each beauty product that graces my forever-growing collection. This time I'm well and truly amazed by the product "Gorgeous" which is a fabulous facial moisturiser which leaves my skin feeling super soft. It's the sort of moisturiser which gives you the motivation to take off that layer of make-up at midnight when usually, you would much rather go to bed. I find it leaves my skin feeling fresh and smooth with an added scent which is not too perfumey! I really recommend this pot of wonder, depending on your craving for it, it should last a long time too!

Style Icon: Alexa Chung

I feel as though this blog is almost urgent and irrelevant to any other blog I've ever posted but I'm excited about the idea! Ever since the delivery man arrived this morning -whilst I was singing a song from Matilda the musical at the top of my voice (cringe)  - and passed me the much anticipated amazon parcel, I have this sudden urge to become Alexa Chung. 


Indeed, I had ordered the book 'IT - Alexa Chung' and 10 minutes after opening it I had to pace myself to actually spare a little bit of daily enjoyment and not read it all in one day. 



I love Alexa's style. She is that British idol who brings a French elegance along with inspiration from movies and often flaunts the 60's edge. Her wardrobe must be heaven. I wonder if she ever has clear outs because I volunteer. She showcases effortless stripes, neutral shades, oversized coats, loafers (love these) even attempts the tomboy look and looks great in all of these looks. 
I'm inspired to dig deep into the darkened layers of my wardrobe and recreate something you can't go to a shop and buy.
