STYLING WITH SET
I recently did a little collaboration with a new brand that Harrods has opened its doors to called SET. SET was created by Maya Junger in 2009, so it is a relatively new brand but its success speaks volume. It has evolved into an international global brand in the contemporary premium market, making a name for itself with the fine fabrics, high-quality workmanship and strong fashion statements.
This collection in particular has various standout pieces such as their oversized coats but also their leather items. All pieces are easily combineable and exude a casual elegance which is always paired with an edgy sexiness. The brand aspires to the highest quality standards - which is why the collection is largely produced in Europe using European fabrics and yarns.
The collection is designed with a cool, modern and contemporary look in mind. The focus is on leather, knitwear and coats. Thus, only top-quality leather is used: the best, buttery-soft grade. The latest cuts and finishing techniques turn the leather pieces - which feature in every product group - into unique and truly exclusive pieces. In knitwear, the company's long experience enables the use of innovative technologies in order to be at the forefront of knitting trends. High-quality Italian yarns figure prominently, with many pieces still being crafted in traditional Italian or European knitwear factories. Fine italian fabrics also feature in the modern cuts of jackets and coats. Every piece is carefully developed in numerous atelier fittings.
You can get all of these items from the SET concession in Harrods as they are current season. Have fun mixing and matching different outfits!

Routine
Hey Guys....
Basically, I
have a routine that I like to follow at least once a week, to keep my skin
looking glowing and feeling healthy. Its really important to look after your
face because after all it is what makes you... you! The routine goes as
follows: Eyebrows, Face-steam, Face Mask and a little nail paint for the cherry
on top.
EYEBROWS:
If you know me personally, you've probably never
seen me with my eyebrows grown out; they are always done and always look
immaculate - if I say so myself! My eyebrows are the part of my body that I
feel most confident about, as I really like to take care of them. There are
three things which you have to make sure:
• Never let them grow out - Making sure that you
give the hairs a small trim, as you don't always have to remove the hairs!
• Never change the shape - Your eyebrows grow
naturally to match the shape of your face, there is a general shape that they
follow. Once you know the shape that you are comfortable with, just maintain it
by cleaning up around the edges.
• Pluck them every other day - The hairs will
grow naturally quite quickly - so pluck to maintain the fleek!
The only time you will ever catch me with my
eyebrows is during exams, because ladies, Exams are more important then
brows....(?) no, yeah they are!
STEAMING & BLACKHEADS:
I'll let you into secret, I steam my face at
least once a week to clean out my pores. Pores can get clogged with anything
from foundation to highlighter that you put on your face, and this can result
in skin irritations and can also contribute to breakouts. So, steaming is
an amazing trick - take note! When you steam your face, it makes you sweat
which opens your pores and helps to push out dirt and clear out the pores.
The Tweezerman Skin Care Tool Kit (Buy it here) the
one I use, and works especially to eliminate blackheads on your nose. It's
designed to press out blackheads, and furthermore, because you have steamed
your face this makes it way more easier to do. You can steam your face using a
bowl filled with hot water (careful!) and a towel. I bought a steamer from
Argos for £10 and this works just as well.
FACEMASK:
Aztec
Secret Indian Healing Clay (Buy
it here) - "Aztec Secret indian Healing
Clay is bentonite clay from Death Valley, California. Where it is sun dried for
up to six months in temperatures that sometimes reach 134 degrees"
I
cannot express how amazing this product is. My cousin told me about it, and
trust me, she is a total skincare freak and is always on the search for the
next best thing. When I say amazing Its A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! I've told all my
family and friends about it because thats how much I love it. It helps to
remove dirt and impurities from the pores of the skin. The clay is beneficial
for deep pore cleansing of the skin. I try and use this mask once every week or
two weeks. It is very strong and so I would not suggest to use it more than
once a week.
•
Warning: The First time you use it, it will seem as if it has made your skin
worse because all your spots will surface. But this is okay! this goes to show
that it is helping as it is pulling the impurities out of your skin so do not
stop after the first use (plus it's super satisfying when you take it off). You
will see results after the second or third use. I will be doing a separate
blogpost on this, and show you before and after pictures.
•
Directions for use: "Mix the Aztec Secret Indian Healing Clay with equal
parts of apple cider vinegar. It is best to use a glass, pottery, or a wooden
bowl to mix. Stir the mixture until it is a smooth paste like a puree - add
more clay or liquid if needed. Then, Smother 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick layer of
clay to your face and let it dry. Drying times vary, but times are generally 5
minutes for delicate skin and 15-20 minutes for normal skin. You will feel a
pulling and tightening sensation, which is good! Your face will start to feel
as if it is pulsating. Remove the clay by washing with warm water. A slight
redness may appear after removing the clay. This is normal and will disappear
in about 30 minutes." More information
Now
your face has been rejuvenated, and you’re feeling fresh and looking gorgeous:
there is one more thing to put the cherry on top of that gorgeous kisser.
NAILS!
I
usually get my nails done, but I've decided to keep them natural and so went
for a nude nail by Rimmel London - 130 French Lingerie.
Let
me know how it goes, guys! Comment and snap me your results!
Love
to you all,
Dabz
