Label Lust; Atalier to go

Ok, not a label, more of a collection of labels.

At the moment my price range is a little more ASOS then Alice and Olivia, a girl can dream, right? Not only are they waaay out of my price range, they are a wee bit too fancy for my Shoreditch/Hackney life.

These are the clothes I will wear when I am a grown up.

                                                     I LOVE this dress. No idea where I'd wear it though.....

                                                        Now this is more me. Bit Vintage.

                                                  Where would we be without statement jackets?

                                                                              Yes!


The thing about clothes like this, there are may highstreet versions about. So watch this space......

Product Lust- SUTI Purity Organic Moisturising Balm

This little beauty was dropped through my letterbox as she had heard its good for the skin going though Chemo. 

I honestly felt I couldn't review it during, it only after you start to appreciate the nice things again. 

And SuTi Purity Organic Moisturising Balm is nice. 

The packaging is simple and clean, it suits the product immensely.
The texture has little grains in it, which makes it feel a bit weird.  I really couldn't imagine putting make up on over it, so its strictly for my work from home days, or days off.

These issues aside, its a lovely product, it reminds me of a more natural (and nicer smelling!) Elizabeth Ardens 8 Hour Creme. A little goes a long way- I've had this about 6 months!

Nails- Polka dot Peach Nails

Recently I've been experimenting with nail art. Its been a pretty slow development but I'm trying.

I used Barry M Peach Melba

Gave it two coats and let it dry

Using a dotter, I dotted black dots all over the nails.

Finished with a top coat

Voila!

Expect to see more and better.

Hair Porn; The Pixie Cut

The Pixie Cut. We love it. Its super sexy and completely halts the need to let your haircare routine take over your life. 

Imagine how liberating that would be? 

It will work for you if you want your skin and eyes to be at the forefront.

Chop it off and don't look back!

I have already talked to you all about my want to write and draw on the walls and I'm still not content. I'm talking my paint brushes and chalk sticks to the stairs too. Why not add a creative streak to an often neglected and overlooked feature of your home and stencil your favourite quotes, lyrics or just a witty remark to brighten up your day. If you're anything like me the chalk paint stairs could be your ultimate daily to do list message board.

Editor's Pick

Product Lust; Organic Argan Oil

Used for centuries by the people of Morocco, Argan Oil is a luxurious and versatile oil produced from the nuts of the rare Argan Tree. Argan Oil is rich in essential vitamins, especially Vitamin E, and essential unsaturated fatty acids and registered with the Vegan Society. The best part is that this is a multitasking product that can be used on your skin, nails and hair, saving room in tour beauty bag and leaving money in your purse!

Perfect for repairing and fortifying your nails:
My hands and nails get an awful time given the number of times a day I have to wash my hands with alcohol gel in the hospital so this is a great rescue remedy to come home to.

• Gently rub a very small amount of Argan Oil into the hands and nail cuticles before going to bed.
• For nails, you can mix Argan Oil with an equal amount of lemon juice, dip your nails into the mixture, and leave for 15 to 20 minutes.
• Then rinse with warm water and towel dry.
• Repeat this Argan Oil for Nails treatment weekly

Does your skin need some attention too?

Then luckily pure Argan Oil is light and easily absorbed and is a great natural moisturiser.

Gently massage a very small amount of Argan Oil into your body after a shower or a bath, to help retain moisture. You can help yourself to prevent and reduce the appearance of stretch marks.

Don't forget to treat your hair...

Argan Oil is used for dry hair, damaged hair and frizzy hair. I have naturally curly hair that tends to be dry and with the current humidity it tends be be slighlty untamable. This product was a weekend wonder and has my barnet set ready and banish any Monday blues.

• Simply apply a small amount of pure Argan Oil to wet hair after showering or bathing and comb it through with your fingers.
• If, like me, you have dry hair, you can leave the Argan Oil in your hair for 20 to 30 minutes. If you have extra dry hair, you can leave the Argan Oil in your hair overnight.
• Wash out the Argan Oil from your hair with a gentle shampoo, followed by conditioner.
