Sass and Bide Heidi Middleton's Home Decor

Sass and Bide designer Heidi Middleton's humble abode.

Sass and Bide is probably my all time favourite design. I have loved them since I was a teenager (many years ago now....)

I was somewhat surprised to see what her gorgeous place in Palm Beach, NSW, Australia was like. One word.....Amazing.

It is eclectic, earthy and edgy all in one, much like the brand itself. So much of her personal style is imbued in the image of the brand.

                                                                                                                                         (images from Tales of Endearment)

I find her level of individuality so intriguing. So many people just aimlessly try to be like everyone else. It is so refreshing to see that she fearlessly follows her own style.

NATURAL BEAUTY- Sulfate-Free Shampoo

SPOTLIGHT ON:

NATURAL BEAUTY- Sulfate-Free Shampoo & Conditioner.

So I am a huge believer in keeping your beauty products as natural as you can. You know your skin is your body's largest organ AND it is highly absorbant. The idea of slathering chemicals all over it kind of freaks me out.

Clearly, we don't smother our skin with shampoo, however it does come into contact with the scalp and the rest of your body when you wash it off.

Sodium Lauryl Sulphate and Sodium Laureth Sulphate (they are also known as Sulfates or SLS) are  two chemicals in particular which I shy away from. Anything which contains either of those ingredients is an immediate 'no' from me. It cuts out a lot of options. But that is a price I am willing to pay.

My favourite shampoo and conditioners so far have been from Aveda. Oh my. Luxury and eco-concious in one packaging!!!! DEVINE! They smell great, use limited scary ingredients and have an awesome exchange policy for their packaging (you can take your used packaging to the Aveda stores for recycling).

Brilliant.

Pretty sure this is the best everyday shampoo and conditioner I have ever used! (now that is saying something)

HITLIST

Studs. Studs. Studs. Studs. Studs. 


So it seems that studs aren't going anywhere soon....

Here are some awesome ways to wear them without looking too badass. I think the neutral/gold tone stud combo is the best option, paired with faded denim. Really wanna get me some of those shorts. And the shoes.
