<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Having launched their first designs last week on <i><a href="http://heidiandhallbery.com/">heidiandhallbery.com</a></i>, I caught up with the couple behind the brand — Heidi Pridham and Nick Hallbery — to learn more about the products and their hopes for the future.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The duo met at University, Heidi studying printed textiles and Nick studying graphic design and advertising (however, they confess to having spent most of their time drinking snakebite in a pub called the Antelope).</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Having her own printed scarves had been on Heidi's agenda for a while and with the help of Nick's experience working for an advertising agency, it made for the perfect team.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">'I think with being a print designer, it's only natural to start looking at objects around your flat and think "wouldn't it be cool if I put a print on that cup, lampshade or toaster",' said Heidi. 'I had always loved wearing scarves — because they hide a multitude of sins — so it kind of went hand in hand.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">'For a few years while I was working in-house for a studio, I would try different techniques and play with what I wanted this brand to look like, whether it be crazy geometrics, print mixing, screen print or digital and it would always come back to flowers. I bloody love them!'</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">She said she played around a lot with painting and drawing, as well as many attempts with different fabrics, sizes and sewing techniques and was often asking Nick for his opinion, from which he became more and more involved. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">'He works for an ad agency called Mother. They're an amazing agency, hungry for new ideas and insistent on making the next coolest thing in culture. Not only that, he meets a lot of people which is great when it comes to making things happen. I suggested we do it together as he has a massive drive and confidence I knew I needed and luckily he agreed, as the brand definitely wouldn't have the gutsy, elegant image without him.'</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The first collection centres around Heidi's love of flowers and tropical prints. The four designs in the collection are bold and vibrant, something that Heidi and Hallbery wanted people to be 'blown out of their seats' by.</span><br />

This was the quickest of the designs Heidi had done. She said she knew she wanted something small scale and really liked mirrored prints, so as soon as she had painted the design, it was a matter of cleaning up the image on Photoshop and it was done.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The scarves are all printed on light crepe de chine, with hand-rolled hems, so they feel really luxurious and are all made in the UK. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
'We've made them as big as possible so you can wrap yourself up in them,' Heidi said.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The measurements are approximately 130cm by 130cm but may vary very slightly due to them being hemmed by hand, due to the fabric moving when its being printed or the roll size.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Heidi said: 'Having Heidi and Hallbery out there is so exciting! It's just the start really — there are a million places we can take it and I am sure we will.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
'It's nice working for your own brand and taking it in any direction you want. A day in the life of us is simply thinking "What's the coolest thing we can think of? Shall we do it? Oh, yeah ok!"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
'For the future we would love to start doing some collaborations and get our prints on some really interesting products. But for now we are working on growing our brand and wrapping more lovely necks in some exciting silk prints. We are currently working on our next collection which will still have that gutsy feel but will be more snug for the winter months.'</div>

Since 2004, the company has collaborated with well-known greats such as Karl Lagerfeld, Beyonce, Versace, Alexander Wang and Stella McCartney to name just a few. The pieces created through these collaborations have flown off the shelves at record speeds thanks to their designer name tags but bargain prices.<br />
And this year is set to be no different, as H&M bosses have revealed its latest collaboration will be with Balmain Paris.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiA_O2D7G8oKmZg0yiKcZO-l4tLnu8xV-DANHJ5z65RtfPIGK9WE2bXyVJQyBqz_KlfHb7DhnuunbR1HcDuo8tgxwHOgsUHLlRs3Djv_GS85rp7X4f3Y49XW4KmNvzehLXLb30GWXbnLVYc/s1600/photo+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="317" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiA_O2D7G8oKmZg0yiKcZO-l4tLnu8xV-DANHJ5z65RtfPIGK9WE2bXyVJQyBqz_KlfHb7DhnuunbR1HcDuo8tgxwHOgsUHLlRs3Djv_GS85rp7X4f3Y49XW4KmNvzehLXLb30GWXbnLVYc/s320/photo+1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Due to hit stores on November 5, the collection has been headed by Balmain designer and many models' best friend Olivier Rousteing.<br />
About the collaboration, Olivier said: 'I want to talk to my generation; this is my main aim as a designer. H&M allows me the unique possibility of bringing everyone into the world of Balmain, get a piece of the dream and create a global #HMBalmaination — a movement of togetherness, fueled on a hashtag.<br />
'The collaboration felt extremely natural to me. H&M is a brand that everybody connects to. It calls for unity and I am all for it.'<br />
<br />
Ann-Sofie Johansson, creative advisor at H&M, said: 'We are excited to have Balmain as our guest designer at H&M and create a truly involving experience for everybody. With its mix of couture spirit and street wear attitude, Balmain owns a unique style, at once opulent and direct, sensual and energetic. It is also closely linked to the show business and music worlds, which adds another element of surprise.'<br />

As well as posing for the new campaign (which was shot in Barbados - poor her), she has also had a hand in helping design the new collection.</div>

So we should expect to see a collection of glamour mixed with hip-hop elements if her own style is anything to go by.</div>

Other magazines have done shoots with plus size models before, I know, BUT this shoot has not been ridiculously airbrushed so that she doesn't look like a normal person, she hasn't had various body parts hidden with objects and she is not covered up in copious amounts of clothing.<br />
Nope, 6ft 2 and UK size 16 Robin is being embraced in all her glory in a body-baring bikini shoot.<br />
After landing a major contract as the first plus-size model for Ralph Lauren last month, Robin is pictured lazing on a sunny beach modelling an array of pretty printed bikinis for the magazine's November issue. And she looks fantastic.<br />

Gone are the itsy-bitsy, bare-all bikinis — high waisted may not be the best for tanning but they bring a touch of glamour to the pool side. Perfect for the more curvy of us who don't feel comfortable having a piece of string to hold all our bits in place, but taking the step to a full body swimsuit seems a bit too mature — these bikinis help to hide lumps and bumps while still looking stylish.<br />
I will definitely be purchasing one of these babies when I next go on holiday...<br />

If, like me, you want them to look more scuffed and distressed, get some sand paper and sand the edges of the tears to rough them up abit.

We all know I have an enormous love for Beyonce but she has made it to my badly dressed list...I like the idea of the dress from the top to the knees but she could have chosen underwear that matched her skin tone. I know she's a new mother but I think she's taking this 'Blue' theme on every outfit a bit too far...</div>

And lastly Christina Ricci. I love a good bow, it's a great way to change the look of a dress or make something plain a bit more interesting....BUT not when the bow is pretty much the size of you! Otherwise this Thakoon dress is quite nice.</div>

Its secret ingredient is Pepti-Col™ - a combination of new technology peptides which have been proven to reduce fine lines and wrinkles. Key ingredients include: Acetyl-hexapeptide-3, Palmitoyl-pentapeptide-3, Hyaluronic acid, Collagen Hydrolysate and Aloe Vera Gel. <br />'Ideal for use before a party or event, the Perfect Secret is an effective instant skin fixer, boosting both the complexion and confidence. Used every day, this product works to reduce lines and wrinkles whilst providing much needed moisture to skin. It also helps prevent the formation of further lines.'<br /><br />With claims like this I was more than willing to try it out for myself.<br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=12/04/11/2560.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/12/04/11/s_2560.jpg' border='0' width='210' height='281' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br />The product itself comes in a pump tube, and one pump of the product is more than enough for the face as it has a very watery consistency and is easily spreadable.<br />It is suggested to be used before an event or party or before your daily skin care routine. <br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=12/04/11/2561.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/12/04/11/s_2561.jpg' border='0' width='210' height='281' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br />I wasn't quite sure what to expect before applying the product, I thought something so watery probably wouldn't do a lot. <br />After my morning face wash I smoothed Perfect Secret over my entire face and it took seconds to sink in. I experienced different stages as the product sank in - when first applied my face was very wet, as it started sinking in my face was really sticky to the touch and when the serum had sunk in, my face felt quite dry. (They say the product moisturises your skin but I definitely felt like I needed to put some moisturiser on after it).<br />I could feel my skin tightening - it was a weird sensation but a good one as my skin felt nice and taught - even after I had put moisturiser and makeup over the top. I was surprised that I could actually feel something happening as we all know many companies promise big results but many fail to deliver. This was different, there was definitely something happening to my skin.<br />The sensation stayed for about half the day (which is longer than my foundation stuck around for!) <br /><br />I have been using Perfect Secret as part of my daily routine for about a week now and love the feeling it gives (it also seems to make my skin feel softer which is always a bonus).<br />I could believe that with regular use it would help keep wrinkles at bay as your skin is too tight to move. The only downside is that despite not being as expensive as Botox, it will set you back around £40.<br />Having said that, it is a generous size bottle and if you are only using one pump a day it should last for quite a while.<br />I'm not sure I could afford to keep using daily but I will definitely use it to perk my skin up before applying my make-up for a night out!!!<br />The Perfect Secret Anti-wrinkle Serum is available for £39.99 from <a target="_blank" href="www.lookandhealth.co.uk">www.lookandhealth.co.uk</a><br />Manths xx<br />manthshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05223965162395322513noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8671115210484757381.post-18097813649987272922012-03-07T10:09:00.000+00:002012-03-07T10:09:04.730+00:00Shoe envy: Kim Kardashian<div style="text-align: center;">If you follow Kim Kardashian on twitter, you would have seen that she posted some pictures of her shoe collection recently.

Her unique style divided tastes but this week, fashion great Jean-Paul Gaultier paid tribute to the star unveiling a couture collection inspired by the diva herself.<br>
Models all sported the back-combed beehive, lashings of liner and beauty spot to flaunt Gaultier's collection of nipped in waists, pencil skirts and flirty frills.<br>

Of course you haven't, BUT the USA's number one selling natural soap and leader in organic and Fair Trade skin care is claiming to be able to do all these tasks — and it's now available in Topshop!<br>
Recently hitting the shelves of the high street hotspot, Dr Bronner's 'Magic' 18 in 1 soap claims to have 18 uses from one bottle of its organic liquid soap.<br>

As you can see it is a tell me about yourself award so I am going to have to think of seven facts you may not know about me.....hmmm.....<br />
1, I live in a tiny little town in Devon (UK) called Tavistock which is filled with old people and is the hometown of Sir Francis Drake.<br />
2, I have slight OCD about food - e.g different foods on my plate CANNOT be touching each other and I eat things in a certain order (weird I know).<br />
3, On a similar note I have a bit of OCD about my bed - the duvet has to neat and over all corners at all times (my boyfriend really hates this)<br />
4, I am a reporter on the local newspaper.<br />
