my asos boutique - house of slate

house of slate, was born in april. started as a selling hub for my www.nathanslate.co.uk pieces, i have a ready to wear range then an actual fashion design range, i sold quite well just via my website, but then discovered asos boutiques on market place, applied was accepted and then the ball roleld from there.
its been up and down, its hard to juggle uni work, part time work, blogging, social life and running an online store, not only making the clothes but sourcing the goods and then photo shooting the garments myself, finding models and getting it all together.

i have launched two collections, the first promo collection, items that where already up for sale on www.nathanslate.co.uk, then i added some colour, with the summer collection.


i now am about to venture into my third collection, autumn. i want to bring some sweatshirts into it, some tshirts aswell as the already existing vest tops. and some longer skirts and harems.

alot of the pieces are heavily inspired by clothes i would like to wear. 

i have an androgynous perception of fashion and beauty, not in the cross-dressing guy in a dress type of way, but in the kind of gender equality blurred lines kind of way.

wear what you want, be what you want, feel what you feel.

so i am going to launch some great new pieces, with some more ethically sourced pieces, recycling old fabrics sourced through charities and transforming other one off pieces into a great staple piece to your wardrobe.

keep your eyes peeled

parks massage candles review!

im going to write a small personal review on a little luxury that i am OBSESSED with;
parks london - massage candles;
these little beauties are made up of primarily oils from soya oil, almond oil to essential oils such as grapefruit or cinnamon!


they come in a ceramic jug, great to reuse!


i will do a write up on here on a homemade diy massage candle using the jug from this one! when i do i will link through for you :)


you burn them down and wait for the waxy like substance to melt. just like a normal candle!
(they remind me of a solid perfume they melt when you rub them and smell like a perfume)

then blow it out wait five minutes and simply pour the warm oil onto your partner/friends back and massage in, with the benefits of essential oils and the moisturising benefits of almond and other oils its a glorious time for your skin!

i have purchased myself three of these and will be purchasing more, i was lucky and found mine in tkmaxx/tjmaxx for a third of the price!
here is a link to the parks website where they are stocked, but if i was you id hunt for them in tk/tjmaxx first!
if you cant find them,they are definitely worth the full price just for a bit of luxury!

my favourite is the "deep heat - warm and soothe aching muscles"

what is your favourite luxury home product? id love to know!


thankyou
