Lucy Folk Jewellery

I only recently discovered Melbourne jewellery designer Lucy Folk. I'm so annoyed at myself as she opened a new store late last year in Melbourne and I would have loved to have visited it when I was home over Christmas!

The good news is that mywardrobe.com have just started stocking a small range of her jewellery, including her Mexican taco inspired friendship bracelets which I absolutely love.

You can see Lucy Folk's jewellery range here.

Wedding in paradise

I recently got back from six days in Thailand where we attended a glorious wedding set on Sri Panwa estate at a Baba Beach Bar overlooking the sea. It-was-amazing.

It was also HOT. The day of the wedding was around 38c and 99% humidity. Most of the guys in attendance could wring the sweat out of their shirts but lucky for the girls, we can wear something a little cooler. I struggled to find a dress to wear to the wedding as London retailers don't really do 'high-summer' very well. Sorry, but they don't...there is no need for it.

I managed to finally find a Temperley Tia dress on The Outnet reduced from £795 to £159 in their recent clearance sale. The cotton/silk blend ended up being a blessing in disguise as there is nothing worse than sweat patches down a silk dress!

Most of my friends experience the same problem finding dresses for wedding - high summer or not. What is your formula for dressing for weddings? NHG x

Outfit details: Temperley Tia dress, The Outnet,  Molten clutch, Mimco at House of Fraser and silver heels (4 yrs old) from an Australian footwear brand.

ghd air review

When I was recently contacted to try the new ghd air, I was absolutely thrilled as I've been a fan of the brand for the past decade. The original ghd hair straightener revolutionised the way we style our hair forever, and fortunately for me my sister was a hairdresser at the time, so I got used to steal borrow her straightener before I finally invested in one myself (it's still good as new).

Surprisingly, ghd have only recently launched their first professional hairdryer - the ghd air. I've been thinking about buying a new hairdryer for awhile, as anything that makes the monotonous chore of drying my hair easier is worth the investment in my opinion.

What I've noticed most about the air is that it is light, quiet, dries my hair fast, and the 3 metre power cable allows me to plug it outside my bathroom and use it in front of the mirrors. I absolutely love it.

The key features of this hairdryer include:
  •     Professional strength 2,100 Watt
  •     Advanced ionic technology
  •     Variable power & temperature controls, including cool shot
  •     Ergonomic design for right & left handed users
  •     3m power cable 

The ghd air retails for £99 and you can buy it online here.

Disclosure: I was gifted the ghd air for review purposes. The opinions are completely my own based on my experience of using the ghd air for two weeks. No payment was received.
