Lifestyled by Paula Joye

I bought my first pair of Sass & Bide jeans from the designers at their Portebello Road market stall in 1997.

Almost twenty years later I have a wardrobe full of dream coats, sequin jackets, Aztec print – watching their Spring/Summer 2013 collection at Linley House on Friday night I realised I may have to get another wardrobe – I wanted all of it.

Sharp shoulders, lean pants, white magnolia brooches, sequin trim, black and white piped, panel dresses, split pants….dreaming of them all.

Hair How-To.

Renya Xydis, Hair Director for Cloud Nine created a textured, playful and relaxed ponytail that’s both romantic and rock chick in one. Here’s how to give your pony a tousle texture.

Step 1: Begin by brushing out the hair and create a side part towards the left side of the head.

Step 2: Once the hair is free from knots, section hair off and lightly iron it from the roots using a Cloud Nine Wide Iron set at 125°C. This will add shine into the hair and also smooth out any kinks.

Step 3: Sweep hair back into a ponytail at the nape and secure using an elastic wrapped around several times.

Step 4: Allow a few loose pieces to rest out of the elastic and fall softly down the side of the face.

Step 5: Using your Cloud Nine Micro Wand wrap small sections of the ponytail around the barrel one at a time holding for two seconds and release to create a soft curl.

Step 6: Repeat this step until all sections of the ponytail have been curled then allow hair to cool.

Step 7: Gently shake out the curls and loosen with your fingers.

Step 8: To finish the look, texturise the sides of the hair gently and finish with hair spray.
