From the aisle to the catwalk
Every Wednesday and Saturday the Aldi middle aisle is the place to be as the staff lay out the newest special buys. From furniture to pet wares, electronics and the much-desired snow collection, there is always something exciting hitting the baskets. On Saturday 13 April, there will be something Aldi has never offered before- a branded streetwear range. For less than $20 per item, you can show your devotion to the supermarket chain with clothing designed in homage to the store colours and logo. Grey and blue hoodies, sweatpants and trackpants are a bargain at just $14.99 while the Aldi print T-shirt will set you back a mere $8.99, but it is the $19.99 sneakers that we are excited about. Be sure to visit your nearest Aldi and like all special buys, these bad boys will only be there while stocks last.
Winter Warmers
Affordable and loved for its simple staples, Uniqlo has turned the heat up and the bulk down with their new and improved HEATTECH range. The thin thermal clothing that claims to turn water vapor from the body into heat has sold over 1.5 billion items since launching 20 years ago. For this winter season, they have introduced new materials and colours, including a women’s turtleneck that has been crafted from their thinnest HEATTECH material ever. Other changes include an expansion of the skin tone colours for more inclusive base layering and a new knitting technique added for the HEATTECH Extra Warm Seamless range to reduce piling. The French-born Princesse tam tam has collaborated with Uniqlo to bring colour and fun to the winter warmer collection. Shop the new range of HEATTECH apparel in store and online now.
Autumn Hair trends
As the season changes, many of us will be booking in with our hairdressers to change up our locks to match the shifting weather. Hair experts are predicting rich colours for the cooler season with hues of red.
Not everyone wants to switch to the dark side. For those looking to stay in the blonde spectrum, a buttercream tone mutes the summer blonde and gives you a rich creamy colour perfect for autumn. Achieve this look with a full highlight, slight shadow root and toning with a natural beige.
Looking for a touch of fun, why not try the cherry cola colour? Applying burgundy overtones to a rich chocolate-brown base will help you achieve this glossy look that has been thrown back in the spotlight thanks to Dua Lipa.
Looking for something low maintenance that could be natural but still has a touch of something different, then look no further than mushroom brown. The cool brown hue can be achieved by blending subtle highlights through a neutrally toned brown base.
Put just a toe in the pool of red hair with the cowboy copper trend, the brown and copper went viral on TikTok last year and its popularity is set to continue, with a bit more emphasis on the brown undertones. To achieve this look, you want to keep your base firmly in the brown family while enhancing your locks with copper and golden toners.
With the focus on old-money aesthetics and the quiet luxury trend, the pricey look is here to stay, and the expensive brunette perfectly encapsulates it. This look relies more on hair quality than the actual dyeing process, ask your hairdresser for a rich brunette look with an all-over gloss on top. Then at home, ensure to keep your hair in top-quality condition, you might want to invest in masks, quality shampoo and heat protectants.
While some of these looks could be achieved at home, to minimise the damage done to your hair, it is always best to consult a professional.
