Dove Intense Repair- Blogger Event

This week, I  was invited to an event held by Dove for the launch of their new product, Dove Intense Repair at the Raintree Salon and Spa. It was a super fun event, where I got to meet other bloggers and we played fun games and learnt about how our hair gets damaged and ways to protect it.

So what did I learn? Turns out our hair is made up of a substance called Keratin, which is basically a kind of protein. The more Keratin our hair has, the healthier and less damage prone our hair is likely to become. Also, blowdrying, straightening, perms etc. aren't the only things that damage our hair. Environmental effects (Karachi's pollution is a major problem), over-brushing, sun exposure and constantly being in air-conditioned rooms are all causes of hair damage.

Here's where Dove Intense Repair comes in. This range contains ¼ moisture milk and Keratin Actives that go deep within strands to reconstruct hair by strengthening it at its core. Thus, transforming dull and damaged hair into shiny and smooth hair.

I can't wait to try this range. Hopefully, another winner by Dove!

And here's the fun part; Dove is giving out free samples to it's fans for a limited period of time. Check out the following link, to get a chance to win one: Dove Free Sample Request

Happy Birthday Kate Moss!

Being a 90's girl, Kate Moss will always be one of my fashion icons. She's been around for over two decades now and the girl who began her career as the 'anti-model' grew into being one of the greatest influences in the Fashion and Modeling industry.

Famous for bringing in the 'waif' look, we've seen her style come a long way. Now at 40, Kate has given us everything from grunge, to vintage, to bohemian, to rocker chic. Her timeless style has made a mark in fashion and she still has a long way to go.

Happy Birthday Kate Moss! Thank you for making the skinny jean cool again and showing us how to make bed-head hair sexy. We owe you!

Golden Globes 2014: Style Awards

Style Haven Blog presents the Style Awards for the Golden Globes 2014:

1. Best Dressed (Women)

How hot do these women look? Love the bare shoulders and minimal accessories on all three.

1. Kate Beckinsale in a gunmetal Zuhair Murad Couture gown with an Edie Parker clutch and jewels by Lorraine Schwartz and Chopard

2. Jessica Chastain in a Givenchy by Riccardo Tisci gown and Bulgari jewellery. Definitely my favourite women's look of the night. Jessica and this gown are the perfect blend of beauty and mystery; fragility and darkeness! 

3. Michelle Dockery in an Oscar de la Renta gown

2. Best Dressed (Men)

Here's 4 reason why I wanted to be on that red carpet! These guys look amazing! The bow-tie clearly reigned but Aaron Paul's skinny tie looks no less classy.

1. Chris Pine in an Ermenegildo Zegna tuxedo. This is how a tux should fit!

2. Matthew McConaughey in Dolce & Gabbana. I am absolutely in love with this ensemble. Love the green velvet, it's super classy and yet so different. He looks amazing!

3. Leonardo Dicaprio in... So I'd like to apologise here, I tried finding out who Leo Dicaprio was wearing and came up with nothing (whoever does know, please do let me know). So here's Leonardo Dicaprio looking amazing in, wait-for-it, a black tux! (On a seperate note, I wish I was a super model so that Leonardo Dicaprio would pay attention to me).

4. Aaron Paul in, and I know this one, a Burberry tuxedo. Damn he cleans up good!

3. Best Use of Colour

These funny girls helped add colour to the red carpet. The colour shock suits their personalities perfectly (their tv personalities. I don't know them personally....yet) and I love that they seem to be having fun with their looks.

1. Sarah Hyland wearing a Georges Hobeika Couture gown, in the colour of the season.

2.Lena Dunham in Zac Posen. 

4. Best Use of Lace

1 Cate Blanchett reminds me of old Hollywood glamour and this Armani Prive' gown exemplifies that image. 

2. Leslie Mann looks sexy in Dolce and Gabbana

5. Best Edgy Looks

1. Emma Watson brought in a major style statement to the red carpet by wearing black cigarette pants under her Dior Couture dress. She styled the look with an Edie Parker bag, Roger Vivier shoes, and Dior earrings.

2. Off Shoulder- Check! Embellished- Check! Midi- Check! Blush tones- Check! Zoe Saldana is completely on trend in her Prabal Gurung dress, Bottega Veneta clutch and Lorraine Schwarz earrings.

3. Beautiful Allison Williams in a simple yet edgy Alexander McQueen gown.

6. Best Retro Look

Doesn't Caitlin Fitzgerald's Emilia Wickstead gown just make you happy? I love the colour and the way her look's been styled and her hair look perfect! Also, I need those Emilia Wickstead ankle straps!

So this was my style list. What do you guys think? Did your favourites make it in?

How the celebs do: Airport Style

Mad about Plaid!

Plaid has been trending for quite some time now and I am OBSESSED. It's one of those prints that are extremally versatile and can fit in to what ever style you're feeling. And man have their been options this season, there was everything from sexy plaid at Dolce and Gabbana to lady like at Celine. Though, when it comes to plaid the look I love incorporating is 90's grunge!

Think Kurt Cobain! Hair should be messy and skin should be bare or do a dark lip! Don't be afraid to play with textures and prints and most importantly; layer, layer layer!
