In a busy world, dominated by time spent in front of screens, these intricately designed books, help you to switch off, de-stress and rebalance body and mind. So we couldnt wait for one of our favourite Fashion Illustrator’s Laura Hickman to launch her Instagram inspired colouring in book #OOTD ( Outfit of the day). Drawings of beautiful, imaginative illustrations are inspired by timeless fashion trends of Nineties, Seventies & Parisian Chic including current shoppable pieces.

The book is such a special piece and makes a unique & uplifting gift. Perfect for long haul flights, cosy nights in & just when you’re feeling in need of some inspiration… Laura is a full-time designer specialising in illustration for independent fashion designers, she was previously the Visual Specialist for Arcadia including Topshop. Laurence King, who have published books for the likes of Matthew Williamson & Anthropologie deemed the book #OOTD as “The perfect hostess gift” we knew we had to have a quick catchup with Laura whilst galavanting around her hometown of Wales. She also happens to have the keenest eye for whats on trend -so lets us know what is inspiring her for 2017 and some insider tips on getting published – no agent needed…

Read Laura’s full interview to get a glimpse into her beautiful, creative world with some inspiration for a fun & simple way to de stress and rebalance ready for the New Year ahead…

Thank you so much Laura!

Its a beautiful time to be inspired. In our modern busy world, it’s easy to dream & fall in love with as many things as possible. More than ever, inspiration to light up your happiness and  beauty can be found anywhere, a one-way adventure, the smell of fresh air, new friends, or even in the simple wonders of each dewy morning.  Happiness and good energy is healthy and our generation is braver, bolder and more knowledgeable about looking and feeling good from the inside out.

With natures force on the rise we wanted to share our top 3 brands that purify & nourish skin, body and mind naturally…

SKINCARE: DE MAMIEL 

‘Everything that touches us matters’ Annee de Mamiel

Annee’s beautiful skin elixirs are my favourite in my skin routine, always bringing a calm & nourishing energy. I love taking my make up off at night because of how relaxing and soothing the products are and the dewiness I get in the morning. The de Mamiel Collection is about more than just skincare – it is about our life’s energy. The products have been created by Annee using the ancient principles of Chinese medicine & modern scientific research into how ingredients interact with our bodies. Each product is honest and natural; carefully handmade with the purest natural and organic ingredients. They travel with me everywhere.

My Hero Piece – De Mamiel Restorative Cleansing Balm. Before bed or on a long haul I put a small bit of cleansing balm around  eyes as the last step of my skin care routine.

MAKE UP: RMS BEAUTY

‘Like skincare with mineral colour’

For me RMS is one of the most beautiful & natural make up lines on the market. Created by one of my favourite make up artists Rose-Marie Swift.  RMS is based on natural, honest and organic principles with non toxic ingredients that heal and nourish skin as you are wearing it. It is modern, multi tasking makeup at its best that lets skin breathe and glow. Infused with coconut oil, the make up hydrates and luminises the skin all day. All packaged in sustainable, sleek and easy to pack pots.

Favourite product:  RMS Living luminizer –  stunning on cheek & collarbones for a sun kissed, island glow.

HAIR CARE: Rahua ( ra-wa)

This is TV commercial hair in a wash and reminds me of Veruschka ‘s amazonian hair. Rahua is 100% natural & 100% vegan haircare.

“For centuries in the Amazon, women from the Quechua-Shuar tribes traveled deep into the Amazon rainforest to follow a beauty ritual and prepare a highly nutritious, restorative oil they call Rahua – believing it to be the secret to their thick, lustrously shiny hair.” RAHUA

Loving: RAHUA Omega 9 hair mask I put this on if I am sunbathing or overnight for seriously glossy, hydrated locks in the morning.
