Haircare Faves : Korres



When I find a haircare product that I consistently fall in love with, it's worth writing about. 

Does anyone else love trying out new shampoo's and conditioners? Before finding this gem I had a few half used bottles hanging out in my shower, just begging me to use them. With their flashy packaging and empty promises of giving me the perfect hair. I've never been loyal to a haircare brand.

Until I found Korres. It was on holiday in Greece when the hotel stocked the mini's in the bathroom that I fell in love. The packaging is simple and somewhat scientific and there are no gimmicks about this brand. They are extremely ethical with no plant waste and the production of natural formulas.

My favourite is designed to help dry/damaged hair...which for a lover of curling irons is a winner. The scent is Almond and Linseed which is an odd combination that seems to work, the end result is a fresh clean scent with undertones of sweetness coming through. A scent that lasts as well! Some haircare I find smells nice in the bottle but disappears throughout the day. Another thing that lasts is the actual product, I've had the same bottles for just over a month and I still have half left... and that's not a reflection on how often I wash my hair because I wash it everyday (again another bad hair habit!).. so it really doesn't have any negatives.

I've been using this for around a month now and my hair has never looked healthier along with a mandatory cut I have continued to use curling irons nearly every day and it doesn't seem to look bad (it has previously)...so I will continue to rely on Korres, and can't wait to try their skincare, because it's worked miracles for my hair so hopefully the same goes for my skin!

Neutral Colour Palette feat. the PERFECT BOOTS


Does anyone else default to black once temperatures hit single digits? 

I know I do.. not that there is anything wrong with that. Black is one of the easiest colours to wear without any second thought. Add a splash of nude and grey and you've got yourself the perfect winter colour palette. 

This outfit oozes comfort with the mid length coat and heeled boot elevating this look to being sophisticated. These AllSaints boots are a staple to anyones wardrobe; simple, chic and versitle, they can be worn all year round. In the winter months pair them with black jeans and in the warmer months a dress and bare legs for more of a party look. 

The perfect outfit to meet for breakfast or to go shopping in.
