CORNROWS

Although not everyones cup of tea, I've had my heart set on crossing over to cornrows for the last couple of months. The only issue I've found with having them though, is not wanting to take them out. 

This stylish 'do which over time has found itself on the heads of Fergie, David Beckham, Snoop Dogg/Lion/<insert new animal>, our favourite Kardashian sister Kim and even James Franco in the box office flick Spring Breakers; is now slowly creeping back as an on-trend look. So to all those who hung out to get their hair braided on the annual family Bali trip; kudos to you, you successfully predicted cool.

Whether you're a fan of the cornrow or not, you surely can't deny its individuality and temporary nature. You can distance yourself from the ones who don't share your groove for as little as a few days up until a month; the longer you leave them in the messier, more bedridden they'll look. Although I would very much like to rock that stage of cornrows, I don't think my boss would - therefore neat and tidy will have to suffice. As simple and straight forward as it may sound, washing just half of your head whilst trying your best to keep the cornrows in tact proved to be quite difficult... I'll be turning to a buddy with a basin for the next time. 

For those interested in daring to be different Head Studio can fix you up with your new weave for as little as $65, with some variation depending on each clients request. With 3 salon locations across Perth (King Street, Rockingham and Success) you shouldn't have too much trouble booking in for an appointment, I managed to secure mine within 3 days of booking. After 10 years experience with Head Studio I can assure 10/10 customer service, some of the quirkiest characters you'll meet this side of Australia - all with killer style, a team who is more so a tight knit family than working colleagues and award winning stylists acting as the cherry on top of the cake.

Looking forward to seeing many more this summer!

With sports luxe making its way into many of our wardrobes and a very laid back streetstyle following not so far behind, it's to no surprise that my most recent purchase was a pair of lush Nike Roshe Runs. At the discounted price of just $70 (thanks to HypeDC) I've finally found a pair of Nike kicks that can be worn suitably on a day to day basis. Unlike many other ballsy women I've seen, I've often felt very uncomfortable with the idea of trying to effortlessly rep Nike Free's with a pair of non-sporting leggings. However these spongey soled street kicks will make all the sneaker freakers jump for joy. A less bulky and more streamlined version of its distant relative, Nike Air High Tops, means the small platform (most beneficial for the vertically challenged) makes it much easier to pair with casual clothing.

A well over-due addition to my wardrobe is the leather look track pant with elasticised cuffs. Usually I'm all for a good online buy, however when it comes to pants I'm just not able to take the plunge. Many online boutiques are churning out this style like they're going out of fashion but thankfully for me, trusty General Pants Co. saved the day. Alice In The Eve's version are extremely comfortable and their non-highwaisted nature is a nice change from all my other pants. The cuffed bottom means they can be paired with platform jelly sandals, runners (as picture above) and even strappy stiletto heels for a dressier look.

Teamed nicely with these uber-comfortable Roshe's, is must have winter fashion accessory - Gutter Gods Get Lifted Beanie. Saving me from cold ears one too many times in Melbourne, this top quality knitwear certainly serves its purpose. With an array of 4 different colours, you're sure to find one to match every outfit. I opted to receive the oh so simple black/grey/white combo, as these staple colours define my wardrobe and are guaranteed to stay in fashion. This locally owned Perth brand has seen itself off to a flying start with an online presence since 2012 and an interest on a national scale.
