Molton Brown Indian Cress shampoo and conditioner review

Molton Brown is well loved for their fabulous line of bath & body products, candles and grooming products. As a longtime fan of Molton Brown’s Rose Granati hand lotion and hand soap, I was thrilled when Molton Brown sent me their line of Indian Cress shampoo and conditioner to test out.

I tend to have dry hair since I spend a lot of time outdoors in the sun and in the swimming pool. One of the biggest challenges I face is finding shampoo and conditioner for my weather-beaten, chlorine ridden hair. I also suffer from breakage due to my dry hair which loves to tangle up on me!

Molton Brown’s Indian Cress shampoo and conditioner smells amazing in the bottle. The combination of jasmine, honeysuckle and sandalwood creates a beautiful, woody floral fragrance experience for the shower. Love that!

I used Molton Brown’s Indian Cress shampoo and conditioner for ten days; washing and conditioning my hair every-day. After the first day I started to see an improvement in my hair! By the fourth day, my hair felt soft and looked shinier than I had seen it in years. By day ten, I felt like my hair was new. I was actually shocked at how soft, shiny and well-moisturized my hair was! This was definitely hair heaven J

I am really excited to use Molton Brown’s shampoo and conditioner every-day. When my Indian Cress bottles are used up, I plan on trying out the other fragrances in Molton Brown’s hair care line.
Molton Brown’s shampoo and conditioner are priced at $60 for the set. You can purchase Molton Brown’s hair care online here. Below are all my favorite products from Molton Brown. Hope you love them! Happy shopping, and stay fabulous

There is something intriguing about mixing edgy, rocker chic studs with feminine, vintage cameos. This is what drove me to pair Twisted Silver’s new “Empire” necklace with my favorite studded fall handbag from Rebecca Minkoff in the above photos.
The new “Empire” necklace from Twisted Silver features beautiful and colorful vintage cameos. The cameos are set in brass with a pearl-like ball at the bottom of the piece which adds a little feminine, yet sassy, flair to the overall necklace. Love that!
Twisted Silver’s new “Empire” necklace works perfectly with fall 2013’s trends. Fall is all about rocker chic details, a little bit of grunge and feminine silhouettes; everything the “Empire” necklace embodies. Perfection!
This beautiful new necklace is priced at $60 and can be found online at Twisted-Silver.com. Use coupon code INSIDERS for a 15% discount. Happy shopping, and stay fabulous 

White coats and jackets for fall 2013

White after Labor Day? For shame! Well, since the millennium, wearing white after Labor Day has become the norm. As this “breaking of a fashion rule” continues over time, wearing white during all four seasons seems normal and, dare we say it? Classic!

Every season there is a new way to wear white. For fall 2013, the ultimate way to wear white is on a jacket or coat. Any shade of white will do including stark white, off-white and winter white. The white topper is a trend which has hit store shelves by storm for the fall 2013 season; but this was not a huge trend on the runways. In fact, one would be hard pressed to find white jackets and coats on the fall/winter 2013/2014 runways in Paris, New York, Milan and London.

The white topper for fall 2013 is a street style trend which buyers picked up on and stocked store shelves in accordance. White jackets and coats are being shown in every style possible including classic pea coats and trendy motorcycle jackets. A white topper is a fresh way to keep cozy when the fog comes in over the mountains or on the bay. It is also the perfect way to stay warm when temperatures dip this winter.

White jackets and coats match pretty much any ensemble you can think of! White may even be more neutral than black! Therefore, this is a great trend to invest in for fall/winter 2013/2014. I found a few fabulous white toppers around the web and assembled them into the shopping widget below. Hope you love them! Happy shopping, and stay fabulous
