Tough-girl shape, two-toned hue, intricate detailing and trench-like style. Even better, its Wool blend is sure to keep you warm all winter long.

Winter hair care !
Doing your hair during winter can be a real drag! This I know! so here are few things you could do to make it a little easy!
1. One very simple tip is to wear a hat when out as it keeps your hair covered from the wind, rain and snow. But as we all know, no woman wants the "dreaded hat hair." A great way to avoid this is to wrap your hair in a silk scarf before putting on your cozy, wool beanie. This helps to protect your hair from damage caused by the hat rubbing against your hair and it also cuts down on the static.
2. During the winter months, it's a great idea to treat your hair once a week to a deep conditioning treatment. This will help to replenish the moisture, which tends to get depleted from things such as the dry heat in your apartment and the cold winter air.
3. I also find if you can keep washing your hair to a minimum, say two to three times a week, this will prevent your hair from drying out too much. And always make sure you dry your hair before leaving the house. Not only because you will get a cold, but the moisture in your hair combined with the cold air, will add further damage to your hair by making it more brittle and dry.
4. Regular trims are a great way to keep your hair in good health during the winter months as well -- every six to eight weeks, just get a light dusting of the ends to help reduce the chance of dry, splitting ends.

How to make your jeans look vintage
.jpg)
- Pair of denim jeans
- Sandpaper or cheese grater
- Razor
- Bleach
- coffee or fabric dye
- Plastic gloves
- Sponge
- Wash and dry the denim jeans before you begin to make sure they have shrunk and any excess colouring is removed. Do not do all this work to have the jeans shrink after you have gotten perfect vintage look.
- Use bleach to get a simple faded look. Fill your washing machine with water and add a cap full of bleach. Submerge jeans into the water and allow them to soak for ten minutes before finishing the cycle. It is best to start with a small amount of bleach and repeat this step if you want a more bleached look.
- Combine equal parts of bleach and water to apply directly to your jeans to get a more concentrated bleached look. Protect your hands with plastic gloves. Soak a sponge in the bleach and water mixture and squeeze out the excess. Gently rub the sponge on the pants, focus on the areas where you want to a more vintage jean look. Do not allow the bleach to sit on the jeans, but wash immediately. It’s best to apply a small amount of bleach, wash and then look at the effect. You can always repeat it if you want a more vintage look
- Soak your jeans in coffee or fabric dye if you want to give them a darker stained look. Mix coffee and water together in a large tub an allow them to sit for several hours. Wash as normal. Repeat if you want a darker look. Or, use the sponge trick to stain parts of the jeans. Allow them to sit for a few hours before washing out.
- Rub sandpaper over the hemline of the jeans to give it a well-worn look. Also, use the sandpaper over areas such as back pockets, rear area, and knees. Concentrate on any area that normally has the most wear and tear. An old cheese grater will also work on these areas.
Tips:
- Start with light colour jeans to save time.
- Use a razor or utility knife to make cuts, not scissors to make the tears look more natural.
