Jewellery Obsessed: Lee Renee

While this is the first time you will read about the jeweller Lee Renee on FFG, chances are this won't be the first time you've heard her name or seen her incredible jewellery. Vogue named Lee Renee as one of the jewellers to watch in 2015 and they certainly weren't wrong. After chasing her dream to become a jewellery designer later in life, Lee Renee has seen nothing but a positive response from her quickly expanding adoring public - add me to the list. I am quite simply obsessed (as you can tell from these pictures of me wearing and sharing her shell and pearl pieces). 

From delicate rings to pom pom bracelets, pineapple necklaces to diamond studs with a simple twist, these are all pieces that most definitely stand out from the pack. Surprisingly, the prices are completely affordable. Yes, Lee Renee has priced her product in a way which allows for all levels of entry.

Collections to check out (that I absolutely adore and want every piece of): Voodoo, Miami Vacation and Delicates (where you'll find these beautiful shell and pearl pieces).

I have a feeling we are going to see this designer blow up. So get in there and secure your pieces now!

Dry Shampoo: How to use it (and why it might not be working for you)

For years now I've tried using dry shampoo and failed miserably. I have long hair and I know I shouldn't be washing it but I have done again and again, day after day, and felt the wrath of my hairdresser each time he lectured me for doing such an evil deed. "Dry shampoo," he would say. "It's been invented for people like you so your hair can stay healthy." Embarrassingly I always promised to try and try again, never wanting to admit that the stuff just didn't work for me. Or so I thought...

Last week, while on a shoot, I finally learned the trick to dry shampoo from someone I know to be one of the best in the biz (he who shall remain unnamed). I didn't have to ask - saving myself the shame- but rather stood back and listened as the model questioned why dry shampoo wasn't working for her. Hallelujah!

It turns out the trick to dry shampoo is simple, requires only two tools, and it goes a little something like this

1. Make sure you are dividing the hair up into sections and spraying on the roots, not just willy nilly spraying the mane. Yes - I willy nilly sprayed upside-down and all around.

2. Leave the dry shampoo to sit on hair for three minutes. Resist the urge to scrunch, twist, rough dry or play with your hair. Let the dry shampoo do it's work! 

3. Grab your best blow dryer and give yourself a toss and tumble. Go upside down and dry the roots to create volume, and give the rest of your hair a quick run through. The end result will be a blow dry that lives to see another day - as let's be honest... there's nothing worse than paying for a blow dry that lasts for only 24 hours. Or, on the flip side, having to wash, dry and style your hair ever flipping day!

Moral of the story - the more you put into placing the dry shampoo, the more you'll get out of it.
