AUTUMN STYLE | ANOTHER BIRTHDAY OUTFIT

My birthday is literally when Autumn is on its last knees. Since I'm a winter baby, I'm always looking forward to Winter. I’m so excited to be layering it up with my favourite sweaters, jackets, boots and a lot more! Mind you, we did have a few sunny spells and warm weather at some point, hence the brave palazzo pants, but now it’s definitely a lot colder so I’m definitely switching these staples for a warm pair of pants!

Don’t you just love it when you have a vision for something and it all comes together the way you intended for it to? I had so much fun picking the perfect outfits for my big day. Turning 30! 

Pants and top are H&M. Handbag is from Forever 21 and the shoes were purchased from Falabella.

STARTING AGAIN… AGAIN

The kettle on, I’m about to make some coffee – caramel cappuccino, my favourite – and warm up after a morning of running errands in the cold. Glad to say that my knits and polo necks have been keeping me warm, but still feeling every bit as stylish as I feel when the weather is warmer. This is a very simple outfit, something I’d normally go for on a day when I want more function over fashion, like today. I love the feel and look of white Jeans. They are so easy to style and go well with any and every colour imaginable. And you can leave the house ready for what the day has in store. It’s a colour (some would say tone) that you can “wear at any time, any age and for almost any occasion”. This outfit was one of my many looks on my birthday, 

This whole outfit is from H&M. The shoes are the exception, the are from Zara.

LET ME SHOW YOU A BIT OF MY STYLE

I’ve been doing a lot more posting of pictures on my Instagram, you know sometimes when you just want instant pictures to do the talking. One of the few cons of being the “Quiet” type, you can get to a point where you feel trapped behind your silence, you forget what it’s like to be openly expressive and care free, not just with your opinions, but your creativity too. I want all that to change. So I'm sharing my fashion sense with you guys as a way to break the silence. Here is an outfit I threw together for church yesterday

Balance is what I’m in need of. I know I’ll get there. For now, baby steps.

Avalon Organics - LAVENDER Nourishing Conditioner

I'm too happy to review this Avalon Organics brand. Avalon Organics is characterized by using certified organic ingredients (NSF). It is credited and certified by Leaping Bunny as a company that does not test on animals. Unfortunately in Chile, we do not have the full range of products.

We only get shampoos, conditioners, Shower gels and Body lotions in the following varieties: 

• Grapefruit and geranium: Smoothing
• Lemon: Clarifying (deep cleaning)
• Lavender: Nutrition
• Olive and Grape Seed: Moisturiser

I have been using the lemon bath and shower gel to scrub clean my body everyday. I love scent and it's not over powering. I'm running low on my LEMON shower gel so I have purchased another bottle of Avalon Organics in OLIVE & GRAPE SEED to try out a different option of the brand. I also use their body lemon body lotion combined with tissue oil. I will discuss the lotions and shower gels in more detail in my upcoming blogs.

I will admit that these products are a bit pricey for as a South African living in Chile but I think they are worth it because ingredients 70% are organic.They organic extracts as aloe, sunflower oil, olive oil, chamomile extract, butter, orange oil, grapefruit oil, jojoba oil and hydrolyzed wheat protein. The packaging is made ​​of recycled plastic. Also, this brand contains no sulfates (lauryl or laureth), silicones or parabens.

Now lets discuss the conditioners in detail,

One thing I loved was the consistency. It is exquisitely creamy and dense, almost like a mask treatment. I did not expect that at all. I use the LAVENDER Nourishing Conditioner. My natural so I always avoid products that strip hair. The mode of use is like any conditioner, except that the company says you must leave the conditioner 1-3 minutes to lock in nourishment. With this much oil you would think this conditioner will leave your hair heavy or greasy, but not at all.

You are welcome to check out their website here.

I look forward to testing and reviewing more Avalon products. I will let you know what my next purchase is.....
