Introducing the dreamy new high summer collection from Zulu and Zephyr Sun Deck. Inspired by retro architecture, pool side parties and glamorous garden get togethers, Sun Deck is the ultimate range of warm weather essentials. From crisp cotton shirting, effortless playsuits, wrap-style dresses and frayed raw edge denim. Not to mention beautiful new swim shapes in poolside prints, tie dyed crochet and essential stripes. There are also swimwear designs which have become staple shapes for the brand, refreshed with lush new prints.

On my wish list; The Midnight Hour Tank, Midnight Hour Short and Poolside Playsuit. The perfect pieces to effortlessly throw over sun-kissed and beautiful swimwear after a long hot day at the beach. Add chic leather sandals and replace your beach bag with a clutch to take them from day to night. To view the entire Zulu And Zephyr Sundeck collection and shop click here.

Charcoal Skincare

Charcoal Skincare

Biore Charcoal SkincareCharcoal is the latest ingredient to take the beauty industry by storm and after trailing Biore‘s charcoal skincare range for the last 3 months I can see why. When used in skincare, charcoal does wonders to deeply cleanse and detoxify your skin. Drawing impurities and toxins from deep within your pores, it gives an amazing deep clean while also naturally and gently exfoliating. Charcoal is also gentle, but effective and works especially well to clean and care for oily, combination and blemish prone skin types. Here are the Biore products I would recommend to anyone looking to step up their skincare regime…

The Bioré Self Heating Mask. This was the first charcoal skincare product I ever tried and it didn’t take long for me to add it to my weekly skincare routine. Not only is it super simple and quick to use, the results are visible instantly. Once you apply the mask it begins to warm, drawing out all the dirt in your pores. You only have to leave it on for one minute and then rinse off.

The Biore Pore Penetrating Charcoal Bar. Activated in water, this Charcoal Bar creates a soapy lather that draws out toxins and impurities. Perfect for both your face and body. 

Bioré Deep Pore Charcoal Cleanser. This is such a great product which literally cleans the pores in as little as 30 seconds. It has been formulated with non-staining natural charcoal and skin purifying technology to break through dirt-seeking molecules. Don’t be alarmed by the dark appearance of this cleanser as it turns to a white foam when mixed with water and leaves skin feeling smooth and cleansed without irritation.

The Biore Deep Cleansing Charcoal Pore Strips. No one ever likes to admits they love pore strips but the truth us, we’ve all used them and we’ve all enjoyed it! Infused with charcoal, these pore strips work harder than ever before.

Spell And The Gypsy Collective Book

Spell And The Gypsy Collective Book

The new coffee table book, Our Story from Spell And The Gypsy Collective is a collectors piece. Perfect for the styled home, vintage book shelf or a perfect gift for anyone who loves beautiful things.

The stunning book created by Spell Founders Lizzy and Isabella along with publishers We Print Nice Things, thoughtfully documents the story of their grassroots label. It also includes their most iconic campaign shots and mood boards, as well as a few hidden ‘lift out’ treasures made up of postcard tear-outs, maps, Byron inspired illustrations and multiple gatefolds. The book is something I’m looking forward to dipping in and out of over the coming months for a much needed inspiration boost and spark of creativity.

At first I included the Spell book on my Christmas wish list, but after admiring the beautiful images on their site I couldn’t help but purchase a copy as soon as they became available! To shop this beautiful creation for yourself click here.
