Canberra’s annual fashion festival, now in its fifth year, has kicked off at the National Convention Centre in the heart of the city. As always, the red carpet was rolled out and the photo wall was in high demand as show goers jostled for a position, eager to document and share their outfit choices. After getting caught up in the thrill of the event itself: the champagne, the people-watching and the music, the lights dimmed and our focus turned to the runway.

A Visit to Aveda
Do you ever think about your scalp? Good on you if you do, because I certainly don’t. My hair, yes, but not my scalp.

For the uninitiated, Aveda is all about connecting beauty, the environment and wellbeing and has roots in Ayurvedic science. Founded by a hairdresser back in 1978, this brand specialises in products made using all natural, plant-based ingredients. The company has… Continue Reading
Wraps With Style
Let these winter looks inspire you to try something different on the days when you just don’t know what to do with your hair. For the longest time I have been a big fan of scarves and headscarfs. I find it’s a great way to create a pulled together look without trying too hard. I like that if my hair is working, I can tie a scarf in way to add a bit of colour and style but on the days when I wake up and my hair looks like a birds nest, I can use a scarf to… Continue Reading
The Trouble With Hair
I have recently been getting a lot of positive feedback about my hair, which, while lovely, has lead me to reflect on why this might be. I am actually quite bad with my hair. Sheree, our lovely contributor who is also my hairdresser, can attest. But first some context. You have probably noticed from the many photos getting around of me that I love clothes. I love clothes so much that I regularly spend all my spare money (and even money I don’t have) on all the pretty things that call out to me, wooing me with their siren… Continue Reading

How to Grow Out a Pixie Cut
So you’ve finally gotten up the courage to cut your hair to the most talked about length, the pixie. For someone like me, this requires months worth of thought and pinning images before I even consider going to the salon. When I am going for a big hair change, I always think about how it is going to grow out afterwards. A pixie cut is one of the most challenging styles to grow out, unless mullets are your thing. But when the time comes and you are ready to let it grow, it can take a lot of patience… Continue Reading
