Let's fall in love with Blugirl

The new Blugirl advertising campaign highlights the dual soul of the 2015-2016 Autumn/Winter collection.

The contrast between the boyish attitude and the romantic spirit of the Blugirl woman emerges in the oversized coats, featuring tartan geometric pattern and typical autumn colours, matched with voluminous dresses in silk georgette or in enveloping wool knitted tops worn over delicate lace dresses.

The location perfectly complements the liveliness and the irreverence of the prints, naturally and organically playing with contrasts. Flowers, fruits and ornithological elements interact with typically masculine Scottish check patterns and rich liberty motifs with a vintage feel.

The characteristic Brit eccentricity, highlighted by the mix of different patterns and textures, is juxtaposed to the rigour and the understatement of the winter settings of a British beach, creating a pleasant visual contrast.

A clean and fresh image, full of the Blugirl woman distinctive joie de vivre, is emphasized by the mysterious atmosphere of the winter sea.

On One Condition!

Don't let winter wage war on your hair. Here some tips and some conditioners i've tried to keep your hair shiny and happy all year long.

The benefits of good conditioner are well known, it creates a protective barrier on hair and guard against damages. Using the wrong conditioner could make your hair soft and floppy or have no effect on your hair or even worst, make it greasy. But how to choose the best conditioner?

It must match your hair type, for dry hair choose for a creamy moisturizing conditioner, if your hair is fine and limp then a leave-in spray will be the best buy, it is also excellent for minimising the frizz and protecting the hair from the heated and the fact that it stays in your hair it means that it is constantly working but avoid this one if your hair is very greasy. When your hair is greasy , only apply the conditioner to the mid-lenths and ends and the best is to apply an intensive conditioner once a week to give a boost.

Once you know which hair type you have, consider what extra benefits you require from your conditioner and try to find one that incorporates these too. Ofcourse, it's very important you rince under water for at least 5 /10 minutes, to be sure there is no residue left at all.
