PICK ONE WITH A PRINT YOU LOVE TO INSTANTLY FRESHEN UP YOUR LOOK!

Scarves are right at the top of my ‘how to survive winter’ guide – I swear by them as they have certainly kept me warm and cozy on the dreariest of days. While thick, knitted ones are perfect at the height of winter, the lighter designs work beautifully moving into Spring as well. Pick one with a print you love to instantly freshen up your look!

We see gorgeous creatures in the wild, who each dominate in their animal kingdom… leopards: masters of stealth, pythons: kings of prey, and tigers: the most strikingly beautiful, deadly beings. Why wouldn’t we too want to be this fierce? Burberry Prorsum, Kenzo, DKNY, Stella McCartney, Gucci, MaxMara and Preen have animalised their runways this year and now we’ve brought you your own piece of animalia in a unique HFB scarf.
Elegantly Waisted Embrace your smooth lines and feminine shape with a statement waist belt to centre your look, as seen on the runways of Oscar De La Renta, Ralph Lauren, Balmain, Emporio Armani and Michael Kors. Our HFB belt will give punch to any outfit with its metallic middle, revamping everything from your sleek bodycon frocks to your winter trenches.

Join HFB on a style safari with this unique tiger face scarf chosen in different colours. The portrait over print style has been popularised in the past year by designers Kenzo and Manish Aurora whose lines have featured tiger portraits embellished on jumpers.
Her Fashion Box ‘Queen of the Jungle’ scarf, $24.95
So sling the scarf over a scarlet blazer, cream midi skirt and black pumps for a striking work ensemble or with a white bodycon dress for an elegant, but fierce evening look.

This belt is oh-so-chic and creates the most gorgeous, classic silhouette. Whether or not you have an hourglass figure, the elasticised belt will slim your waist, giving your bust and bottom a cuter, smoother shape. The timeless black and gold elements of the belt are great if you aren’t particularly fond of other parts of your body, as the belt creates a focal piece, drawing the eye in at the waist. Try the belt over a grey pencil skirt, paired with a pussy bow blouse and some plaited stockings for an elegant around-the-office set. Or, stun on a night out with a formfitting black dress and accessorise with your best gold earrings, pendant necklace and leather cuff.

Ancient Chinese proverbs claim that a snake in the home means good fortune, so be wise and flaunt the luxe designs of the very elegant and seductive serpent. Pair the scarf with a white shift dress and a lace cardie to lend some edge to a softer style, or drape over a plain blazer with jeans for a smart casual outfit.

We love this chic belt for its versatile brown colour plus its ornate, infinity symbolled detailing. And its elastic material means this number is a sure fit for every gorgeous size. Pair it with softer tones of white, cream and pearl and pastels of violet and blue for a feminine, country feel. Try the belt on with an ombre maxi dress or an oversized cotton blouse to instantly accentuate your waist.

Her Fashion Box ‘Queen of the Jungle’ scarf, $24.95
We just love this scarf for its fashionforward leopard print juxtaposed with quirky nautical designs. Though leopard print has kept women fiercely fashionable throughout the ages, it has clawed its way back onto runways this year, with MaxMara’s collection at Milan Fashion Week and DKNY’s recent line with Cara Delevingne as its it-girl.
We love the scarf with some high waisted jeans, a white v-neck and some navy sneakers to complement the nautical edges, or with an all black outfit of a cutting edge blazer, slicked black jeans and your best pumps to style the scarf the standout piece in a power outfit.

45ML TRAVEL SIZE
Hair oils have become the cult product for every beauty connoisseur and here at HFB, we couldn’t wait to share this god-send with you! The result of extensive research into ancient beauty rituals, combined with the very latest scientific advances, iconic salon brand L’Oréal Professionnel has developed a complete Mythic Oil range perfect for all hair types. Mythic Oil ties ancient traditions of mixing oils to create the most nutritive blends, with offering the most indulgent and multi-sensorial hair care experience. It combines two exceptional beauty oils, Avocado Oil & Grape Seed Oil, to delivery unique benefits to the hair without weighting it down. Hair is nourished, repaired and protected from external aggressors, shine is restored and hair is left feeling soft and supple.
DID YOU KNOW? Avocado Oil is well-known for its extraordinary nourishing properties. Rich in fatty acids and omega 3, 6 and 9, it is light and creamy and contains high levels of vitamins and minerals. Grape Seed Oil contains a high level of linoleic acid, one of the most powerful antioxidants in the world. Containing vitamins and essential fatty acids, it penetrates quickly, nourishes deeply yet remains extremely lightweight.
Dispense 1 to 2 pumps into your hands, rub them together and apply to dry or damp hair. You can even mix a pump into your conditioner for extra nourishment and shine.

HOW TO USE:
What I like about Mythic Oil Nourishing Oil is it caters to all hair types. No matter what hair concerns my clients have; dry, dull or lacking shine, I know Mythic Oil will rehydrate and nourish their hair. For best results when blowdrying, I love to add a little bit of Mythic Oil to my mousse for additional shine. When styling a sleek ponytail, Mythic Oil is great to smooth down fly-aways. I recommend Mythic Oil Nourishing Oil to all my salon clients!
