Cloud Nine Original Iron Set.

If there’s one hair trend that I can’t get enough of, it’s the refined look of sleek, straight hair. Highlighting cascading length and silky smooth texture, straight hair has an underlying #girlboss feel, as a #girlboss has no time for unnecessary frizz. Feelin’ me fashionistas? *Insert praise emoji*

When it comes to mastering perfectly straight hair, I use my Cloud Nine Original Iron as my weapon of choice. Having mid length hair (enhanced by lengthy extensions for volume), I find the Original Iron to be very compatible to my hair type. In the past I have always been concerned about the damage caused by heat styling tools to my fine, fragile locks. I’ve watched (in horror) as my hair has incurred breakage and dehydration, and loose it’s healthy glow. But switching to the Cloud Nine technology has totally changed the way I feel about hair irons. What I love about this technology, is the temperature control settings that allow me to reduce the heat emitted. Featuring five temperature settings, I find myself using the lowest temperature when styling my natural hair, and increasing the temperature throughout the ends of my extensions for that crisp, sharp finish. What I notice about my hair post styling, is how it retains a beautiful and healthy shine, along with it’s soft, silky texture. Gone are the days of crunchy, dry hair strands created with poor quality tools.

As for the process, it’s the quickest way to achieving serious #hairenvy. While I wait for my Cloud Nine Original Iron to heat up (which takes literally seconds), I start with a light mist of heat protective spray throughout the mid-ends and give a quick tousle.  Sectioning layer by layer, I glide my iron through my hair, refraining from ironing my roots. I spend a little extra time framing the layers around my face for a more polished look, and ensure my centre part falls naturally. Finally, I tuck my shorter layers behind my ears for that super sleek do. Instant #hairgoals!

Ladies if you are looking to upgrade your styling equipment, then I recommend checking out the Cloud Nine Range and snapping up a new Cloud Nine Iron. You and your hair will thank me later! x

Happy January 1st! I’m starting the new year fresh with tropical vibes and a seriously cute pineapple print dress. Both fruity and fun, this little number is perfect for a summer soiree’s with the girls, or a cheeky beach romp with the beau. If you too would like to add some delicious pineapple print to your wardrobe, then check out this Tony Burch Long-sleeve Pineapple Dress,  Princess Polly Pineapple Party Set, or Nishe Pineapple Print Skater Dress.

I’m dressing down this fruity shift with a pair of block heels, as I’m a gal on the go with places to see. This monochrome Jo Mercer sandal is on constant rotation this summer, as I love their crisp white pebble texture and their unbelievable comfort. If you are looking to upgrade your staple footwear this year, then start with the Erin Sandal – you will not regret it!

Rompin’ Around: A Guide To Ladies Rompers

“alt=ladies rompers shopbop”

Still in the swing of the silly season, I’m keeping my party outfits on standby for the sensational events that kick off post New Years. Hitting the cyber sales hard, Shopbop has stolen my heart with their selection of cute ladies rompers, encouraging me to romp around more often.

When shopping for a romper, look for good coverage and flattering cuts – no need to go OTT with too much flesh. Select styles that aren’t flooded by too much excess fabric and instead opt for fitted or structured one pieces.I always recommend pairing your romper with a fierce heel to help elongate your pins and enhance your stature.

And finally, when it comes to accessories, keep things understated and chic! Your romper should be the highlight of your outfit and should not be overdone by heavy costume jewellery or large handbags. Team with a stylish clutch and minimal jewellery and voila, you’re ready to shine!

Here’s to nights out with the girls, dancing up a storm, socialising and never having to worry about a wardrobe mishap, because a romper has you covered! Shop my selection of ladies rompers and other cute things below:

Look 1: Zimmermann Lotte Gradating Dot Playsuit, Matiko Lainey Booties, Patricia Chang Hunny Bear Clutch.

Look 2: Marcs Double Layer Tex Playsuit, Alexander Wang Lovisa Pumps, Kate Spade Camera Cross Body Bag.

Look 3: Sheike Into The Wild Playsuit, Schutz Juliana Sandals, Oliveve Anastasia Fold Over Clutch.

It’s so easy to style a chic ensemble when you are working with a monochromatic colour palette. Lately I’ve been drawn to pieces that feature a black on white print, as they create a light and airy aesthetic. So naturally these high waisted, striped culottes have been on high rotation. Did I mention the vertical stripe creates the illusion of longer legs? #instantpins for the win! Teaming with an asymmetrical top in the same tonal colour, I’m vibing effortless with relaxed structure, lightweight and breathable fabrics and killer accessories.

Speaking of killer accessories, I have been gifted the perfect tote for summer thanks to Stefan. With a two tone design and generous size, this bag is housing all my must-haves for summer – makeup, sunscreen, bikini and beach towel (for beach trips) and my current read (The Carrie Diaries). This fab tote is part of a Stefan Xmas Special, where you can fill it up with your favourite haircare products and take 50% off the total! Celebrate a season of healthy locks and fab hair by visiting your closest Stefan or shop online by clicking here!

Now that I’m finished my christmas shopping, I’m taking some much needed down time, starting with a walk on the water front, followed by a casual dinner date with the girls. Since I’m taking in the sunset and salty air I thought it best to pop in my DAILIES TOTAL1 Water Gradient Disposable Contact Lenses for a little extra support this afternoon/evening. Allowing for longer wear, these lenses keep my eyes hydrated and itch free, giving me #morecontacttime from day to night! Curious to test out these lenses? Make sure you pop into your closest optometrist to discuss your trial, or visit morecontactime.com for more deets!
