Essential fashion accessories keep you warm and effortlessly chic, which is what you really want. If you are looking to shop for new stylish accessories for the winter fashion season, here are a few ideas for you –

Oversized Scaves

Scarves add a finishing touch to any outfit, and for the winter months, the more oversized, the better. I love the chunky oversized scarves this season, they are great for adding extra warmth, style and personality. If you are looking for stylish winter accessories, going for oversized scarves is a great place to start.

Hats

An outfit is never complete without the right set of accessories, and hats are great accessories to invest in for winter. Hats can add extra warmth and style to winter look. They are also usually affordable, which is makes it a budget-friendly way to grow your winter fashion accessories. I like to have a few hats in different designs and colours ready for the chilly weather, and these days, I find that I never leave the house without one.

Gloves

Another way to add some style and warmth to your look this chilly season is to invest in quality gloves. There are loads available on the high street and designer stores, so they are many to choose from if you are looking to add to your collection. I like to have my gloves stylish but functional, so I ensure they come in the right size and are fit for purpose.

Comfy Socks

Comfy socks are essentials especially during the winter season. I like my socks very soft and comfortable, and I like to have loads to choose from, since I wear socks pretty much everyday except when it gets really warm. Socks can also add personality and charm to your look. So, it’s worth shopping around for quirky designs if yiu are into socks with characters, funky prints, and the likes.

Jewellery

Accessories are never complete without some form of jewellery regardless of the season. For winter, I like to wear bolder pieces of jewellery to add some extra glam to finish up my look. Statement jewellery add an extra sparkle and glam to your look. It is worth investing in a few quality pieces of jewellery as they can usually be worn all year long.

Protective Natural Hairstyles are hair styles that protect the hair and naturally promote hair growth. These hairstyles have been in vogue for centuries and they are still very trendy. However, some protective hairstyles are more popular than others. Also, depending on your hair type, some natural hairstyles are more protective than others.

4 Top Protective Natural Hairstyles

Cornrows

Cornrows are like the OG of natural protective hairstyles and are arguable the most protective natural hairstyle. If you are after a low maintenance hair style, you may find classic Cornrows easy to maintain. There are different types of Cornrows hairstyles that keep the hair nicely tucked in, promoting hair growth, while protecting the hair from external stressors. Pinterest is a great platform to check out natural hairstyles for inspiration and ideas. So, if you are thinking of getting Cornrows done, you can have a look online for various Cornrows hairstyles that will suit your face and lifestyle. Depending on the type of Cornrows you install, you can expect the style to last for around 4-6 weeks.

Box Braids

Box Braids are really popular now, and it is not surprising as they are quite to easy to maintain and gentle on the scalp. They are also quite versatile, great for various hair textures and lengths, and easy to style. If you are looking to grow your hair, you should consider installing box braids. With proper care, you can have your Box Braids on for about 6-8 weeks, which will give your natural hair time to grow undisturbed.

Twists

When it comes to protective natural hairstyles, Twists are definietly my favourite. I love how they look, especially when they are installed in big sizes. Twists are less tension inducing than braids, they are also easier to remove, but usually longer to install. They can be installed in different lengths and sizes, and usually last an average of 6 – 8 weeks. They can be styled in a variety of ways, so it is quite easy to change the look every now and again.

Goddess Braids

Goddess Braids are also very popular at the moment, and looking at the protective hairstyle, it is easy to see why. It is super stylish and trendy, However, a bit more maintenance is needed with this hairstyle due to the curls and the length. For those who are after a more over the top look, Goddess Braids is worth checking out.

Protective hairstyles are great for retaining hair length and reducing breakage as there is less manipulation. Keeping your natural hair moisturised with the right hair oils and products will work wonders with the protective hairstyle. Also, as little manipulation as possible when it comes to styling your protective hairstyle, this will help your hair stay healthy and neat. Goddess Braids can also last around 6-8 weeks depending on the type of curls used.

Niche perfumes brands are independent, smaller brands that create quality potent fragrances that are long-lasting and unique. I have been exploring lots of niche fragrances in the last few years, and I am leaning towards these type of perfumes over the regular designer scents. Great perfumes leave a lasting impression, they smell amazing, project really well and stay on for hours.

If you are interested in exploring great niche fragrances, here are my top 5 niche perfume brands to check out –

Parfums De Marly

Parfums De Marly is definitely one of my favourite niche perfume brands. It was launched in 2009 by founder Julien Sprecher. I have tried many of their fragrances and my favourites from the brand are currently Valaya, Delina, Valaya Exclusif, Meliora and Delina Exclusif. This is a niche brand to explore if you are lo0king for quality French fragrances that smell great and last all day. This luxury fragrance brand has a scent for every man or woman.

Xerjoff

This is an italian luxury perfume brand launched in 2003 by Sergio Momo, and their fragrances are so amazing. I am a huge fan of Xerjoff Erba Pura, which is one of the brand’s popular perfumes. Xerjoff perfumes stand out from the rest, they are very distinctive, have great projection and quite long-lasting. If you are into quality strong perfumes that will linger all day, you should explore Xerjoff niche perfumes.

Creed

Creed is an Anglo-French niche fragrance brand, known for luxurious scents. I have tried Creed Aventus and Creed Eladaria and they are so good. There are many more Creed scents I am looking to discover and I can’t wait to sniff them all. When it comes to quality fragrances that  feel and smell luxurious, look no further, Creed is the brand to shop.

Maison Francis Kurkdjian

This luxurious French niche fragrance brand is another favourite of mine. I fell in love with Maison Francis Kurkdjian perfumes some years ago. It is one of those perfume brands you need to explore for yourself. My favourite scent from the brand is currently Maison Francis Kurkdjian Gentle Fluidity – Silver. It is one of the few unisex fragances I love. I usually like very feminine scents, but Maison Francis Kurkdjian Gentle Fluidity – Silver is such a delicate fragrance.

Escentric Molecules

If you into cleaner scents, Escentric Molecules is the brand to check out. I discovered this amazing brand some years ago and I am so in love. For those who have never heard of this brand, Escentric Molecules was launched in London in 2006 by Geza Schoen, and the brand is famous for the minimalist approach of using just a single aroma molecules or a molecule blended with other notes. These perfumes react uniquely to individual skin chemistry, so it smells differently on everyone, which makes it even more special. Some of my favourites from the brand are Molecules 01 and Escentric 01.
