It must be winter..

Some of my favorite winter must haves that I can never live without..

The all important lip balm.

For me it is an essential item to always have in your bag as the cold temperature hits the low. I love the new Nivea Cherry Lip Balm. It smells delicious and the color is amazing as it's not too bright nor pale! Love love love this lippy ❀ 





The scarf.


Okay, now first of all we're not talking about just some old shaggy scarves. We're talking about the ones that you can just wrap around your neck and still look good. They're fat but yet sophisticated. I mean why the hell do people wear scarves that only cover a quarter of their neck when it's 2 degrees outside? I know right? Haha. The tip is to keep it bright, light or dark but also make sure that it's comfy and feels nice against your skin ;)




The high-waisted skirt.

This is probably the one type of clothing that you'll see me where all-the-time! It never gets old. And the good thing about it is, you can dress it up or down depending on the occasion or season lol.
In winter you can wear  it with stockings and boots or a ballet shoes or whatever shoes you like. It's a very versatile style and it comes in different colors!




The all trendy gloves.

You gotta keep your hands warm! this does not mean reaching out for the wooly ones your grandma gave you when you were 12. haha. Now you can get studded ones, glittered ones, fingerless ones, bright ones, and  just strictly for fashion purposes, the one that covers only your fingers (I mean don't be silly okay?!). Well to be honest, I don't really wear gloves or socks because I get claustrophobic. But the point is, it looks good :)







The New GHD IV Stylers

The mother of all straightners. I just got one today and it is totally divine. If you're looking for a hair
straightner to count on, this would be it :) It is the most advanced GHD technology yet as it has an automatic turn-off time of about 30minutes when not being used and it is temperature controlled so it wouldn't get too hot on your hair. They come in 3 different sizes, to suit every type of hairstyles; straight, curled, loose waves or flicks. Cool yeh? I think so too.




HI guys :)

Heyah sorry I haven't been posting for a while..I'll be updating my blog soon when I get the chance to. Just keep an eye out! Thanks for reading my blog :)

Summer + Hair = Fabulosity

Summer's coming! And yes, all the hair dramas regarding the hot weather and the humid days would appear. But not to worry, here are some hair styles that you at home can do to maintain your summer hair cool while having fun under the sun :)

The Classic Twisted Bun.


This hair style is easy to achieve and is recommended if you want a no fuss quick fix in the morning. It is a celeb favorite because it adds glamour and sophistication to any look.


The following are the steps needed to achieve this chic style:
  1. Finger comb the front of your hair, gathering the rest into a ponytail at the back of your head.
  2. Hold the ponytail with your left hand then using your right, twist your hair to the end.
  3. Wrap and twist the loose end until you have reached the tip.
  4. Use hair pins to secure your hair.
  5. Leave little strands of hair and/or pull out some at the front of your face for a softer look.

Loose Waves.



 This is my favorite hair style as it resembles the beach babe persona. Its cool, fun and light.

The following are the steps needed to achieve this chic style:
  1. Style your hair the way you normally would then add a styling mousse or a texturizing spray to your hair prior to the styling.
  2. Section your hair into equal pieces and secure them with clips.
  3. Always begin at the base of your hair then to the crown.
  4. Using a large barreled curling iron on low heat, take one section and place the end of your curl near the handle of the iron. Do not open the clip of the iron; simply and loosely wrap the entire section around the outside of the barrel, making sure to overlap the end so it will stay.
  5. Hold the hair for about 2 minutes, then gently remove it from the curling iron.
  6. You then repeat this step for every section.
  7. Don't use a brush or a comb to separate out the curls as this can destroy the style. Use your fingers to gently separate the hair from each other. Toss your hair while spritzing hairsrpay evenly along the strands.

Sleek and Long.




This hairstyle is perfect for long thick hair as it will make your hair look nice and healthy. It is easy to do and would not take your whole morning to achieve.

  1. Before straightening your hair, apply  heat protection to prevent damage to your locks.
  2. Put your hair into even sections.
  3. Straighten sectioned hair.
  4. Repeat this step to every section.
  5. Spritz shining serum then repeat step 3.
  6. Et voila! Your hair is shiny and straight.
Hope you enjoy,
