Antioxidants, what actually are they?
Faith In Nature
How much do you know about antioxidants? We’re guessing you’ve heard they’re good for you - and you’d be right about that - but do you know how or why?
5 natural ways to clarify your hair
Faith In Nature
Greasy hair? We’ve all been there. Just like in nature, it’s normal for our hair and scalp to move in and out of balance. Things like hormones, stress and changing weather can lead to excess oils in your scalp – cue limp, lifeless locks. Luckily, restoring swish-able shine can be a few simple steps away.
Find stillness in the solstice
Faith In Nature
When time feels all over the place, the arrival of the solstice can be the anchor we need. With roots in the Latin words for ‘sun’ and ‘stand still’, this moment - when the shortest day meets the longest night (or vice versa) - comes as a welcome pause. A chance to be still, to connect with nature, and to celebrate new beginnings.
Herbal healing with restorative rosemary
Faith In Nature
We might have been doing this for nearly 50 years, but nature inspires us as much now as it did on day one. We’ll never not be amazed by the powerful benefits to be found in humble fruits, nuts, leaves and shrubs. And when ingredients have been used for hundreds, even thousands of years, we reckon that can only be a good sign. Rosemary, we’re looking at you.
Soap. It’s not complicated.
Faith In Nature
Sometimes it’s good to keep things simple, and a bar of soap is as simple as it gets. Soap isn’t glamorous. It’s humble, reliable, and in its very nature, plastic free.
It’s OK to be sensitive
Faith In Nature
Sure, we all like things that smell nice, but we need things to feel nice too. We know that one size (or scent) doesn’t fit all, and that’s especially true for our sensitive skinned friends. That’s where our fragrance free products come in. Psoriasis? Eczema? Dermatitis? Whatever it is, it’s OK to be sensitive - you’re welcome here.
Forest bathing, what’s that all about?
Faith In Nature
In our modern, tech-frazzled existence, taking time to reconnect with nature is the ultimate act of self-care. Even a short stint spent in natural surroundings can have a major impact on our mood; dialling down our stress hormones, and turning up our energy levels.
Our eco label dictionary
Faith In Nature
We want our products to be as kind to you as they are to the planet. That means going back to nature. Keeping things like surfactants, parabens and silicones to a minimum, as well as being vegan, cruelty-free and as close to zero-waste as we possibly can. These words can get thrown around a lot these days, and while they’re everyday vocab for us, you might not know exactly what they mean. We think labels matter, so let’s break it down.

Block Party
Atterley
Let paintbox brights provide an antidote to darkening days. From emerald to magenta, canary to cobalt; mood boosting hues are big news this season. If the matchy-matchy approach appeals, consider experimenting with contrasting textures instead - think fluffy oversized jumpers, silky pleated midi skirts and patent heels. On the other hand, street style-inspired colour clashing can add an element of the unexpected to your look. For an instant outfit lift, consider eye-catching accessories your calling card. Look for bright bags, boots and scarves in playfully opposing shades.
Country Club
Atterley
Not just for weekends away, this is where country club chic gets a city sensibility. This season's contemporary tailoring, heritage checks and polished accessories capture an undeniably luxurious mood. Crucially, avoid over-gentrifying your wardrobe by keeping the details up-to-date; blazers are belted, tartans are bright, boots are block-heeled. That's not to say closet classics can't still hold their own. A wrapped camel coat will always hide a multitude of sins with endless elegance. A fine cashmere roll neck is still your wear-everywhere investment piece. And an impeccably crafted leather tote will always be worth holding on to.
Wild Thing
Atterley
While leopard print continues to cause a stir this season, sartorial tastemakers are on an altogether wilder animal print safari. Think zebra, tiger, snakeskin and crocodile. For a style-set approved spin, go mismatched and maximal by juxtaposing and wearing them all at once. For a day-to-night formula? Floaty midi dresses, faux fur coats and sensually sheer blouses fit the bill. If you're only looking to give off a hint of animal instinct, thoughtful accessorising can still create an impact. A leopard print mini bag or croc leather boots add just the right amount of interest.
Neutral Ground
Atterley
Oatmeal, biscuit, honey, caramel: one would be forgiven for mistaking this for a shopping list. Rather, this is a recipe for the deluxe colour palette we see year in year out on the fashion pack's most-stylish. Tonal neutrals are recognised in the rulebook as the easiest way to exude elegance and sophistication. Street stylers know, for example, that the simple addition of a camel coat will instantly look expensive and high end, so it's a good idea to have one in your repertoire to elevate otherwise ordinary ensembles.
In Paris, Fashion Director Julie Pelipas proved the trend-defying powers of a neutral dress code when she went full beige in relaxed trousers, a loose fitting shirt and a roomy trench. Love this look? Think pared-back but powerful and accessorise sparingly: the addition of sunglasses will look impossibly chic. Truly living up to the term 'timeless', neutral colour palettes can denote both classic luxury and contemporary minimalism, and appeal to wearers of all ages.
When putting your personal stamp on this style, you can nuance multiple shades at once to build dimension, or get playful by adding colourful accents to the equation. In terms of key pieces to consider for your capsule: the trench coat, as mentioned, is the perfect spring staple. Others include investment cashmere sweaters and romantic sheer blouses that will easily slot in beside those love-forever items you already own.
Your bespoke guide to dressing like a Parisian
Atterley
While it’s no secret that French women are Fashion’s favourite muse, the essence of their sartorial je ne sais quoi remains a mystery. Beyond berets, Breton tops and Birkin bags, the coveted Parisian style emerges as an attitude above all; a ‘just threw it on’ nonchalance that defies trends and always translates to chic.
Home to some of the world’s most illustrious design houses and couturiers; it follows that in Paris, fashion isn’t just a way of dressing, it’s a way of life. From floral dresses to sultry heels, key pieces are instantly at home in a French girl’s closet. Here we turn our attention to la style Française and take notes on the easy way to emulate outfits our Parisian icons wear on repeat.
