Getting luscious locks isn't as difficult as it may seem. All you need is a little bit of patience and the right tools. Ever since I was introduced to Living Proof products, I've been so thankful! This company is partially owned by Jennifer Aniston who is the queen of beautiful hair.

Steps to beautiful big curls

1. Apply Living Proof Prime Style Extender to damp or dry hair - this preps the hair

2. Spray Living Proof Restore Instant Protection all over hair - this protects the hair from heat tools and UV rays for up to 24 hours

3. Divide your hair into sections and wrap your hair around the heat wand for 15-20 seconds. I use the Sultra 1 inch wand and absolutely love it! Be careful because the wand is extremely hot!

4. Spray Living Proof Flex Shaping Hairspray all over your hair

5. Let your hair sit for 10-15 minutes then gently comb through your hair with a large comb

This is my beautiful mum!

My mom and I went antiquing over the weekend and came across this wickedly awesome old building. It's not everyday that you find a gem like this one so we had to snap a few photos.

p.s. - After searching for years trying to find the perfect black bootie, I finally found a pair from Miz Mooz! Are you still looking for that perfect pair? You can buy one online here.

handsome at the office

A handsome desk is a sophisticated desk. Keep is simple with clean lines, rich wood and why not add an interesting architectural element! I am seriously loving the wood, leather and grey combination these days - you can't seem to go wrong!

vintage & painted brick

A selection of vintage images on a painted brick wall takes my breath away.

comforting grey

Grey's are a comforting and cooling colour. They are perfect for bathrooms, change rooms and places you want to relax. 
Add some grey to your home!

Take note of the floor - love!

Painted wood - classic and unique!

wood trim & shades of grey

This room has all the necessities to be handsomely elegant. Starting from the sky high windows with wood trim and the decorative crown molding, it all adds lots of richness to the space. The off white flooring, dark walls and a lighter shade for the ceiling creates great contrast and depth. The gold is carried throughout the room starting on the ceiling with the gorgeous chandelier to the legs of the coffee table and side table. 

Mix warm wood with shades of grey for a traditional and handsome look!
