Frenzied Fashion Weeks

Friday 5th March 2010

So, the hustle and bustle of London Fashion week is over, and I have survived another crazy week of shows. Luckily I had no early morning starts this season and I was sensible with my footwear so no Beckham bunions this season! Talking of Beckham, I loved her collection at New York Fashion...

Denim To Die For

Monday 1st March 2010

This season sees the return of the fabric that rocked the ’80s; not since Brooke Shields and Calvin Klein has denim been so hot. With Alexa Chung declaring her love of the versatile material in Vogue this month and many fashion houses creating the ‘double denim’ look (not to be tried at home!),...

Beauty Balms

Friday 22nd January 2010

So, predictably I am going to start this blog with mentioning the New Year. I could dwell on all the over consumption at Christmas and suggest detox diets, but that’s just boring, and setting unrealistic goals at the beginning of the year is not a good way to start 2010 - far more...

Can't Beat Becca

Monday 14th December 2009

This month I’ve started my new position as a freelancer at the Becca store in South Kensington. I vowed never to work in retail again after my experience at 18, where I was forced to stand in a shop window dressed in the most hideous clothes in an attempt to draw people into...

Post Wedding Blues

Tuesday 27th October 2009

At last, some time to sit down, drink tea and write my blog. The wedding is over. Nine months of anticipation and excitement, and 27 years of fantasising and now it’s history. Nothing left to dream of during boring days in the office. No peeking at Brides magazine whilst he’s not looking, and no...

A Make-up Artist's Secrets

Monday 3rd August 2009

It has been a busy few months for me. Work and a Wedding; two words that don’t gel well, have been taking up a lot of my time. Last night I finished a shoot for the FT How to Spend it Magazine at 9.30pm (pretty reasonable compared with the Nick Knight shoot for Wallpaper...

The Great Outdoors

Wednesday 6th May 2009

What a nice surprise it was last weekend to open the papers and see something that really made me smile. On the first page of the Daily Mail was a picture of a glorious lavender field with the most adorable child frolicking amongst the purple haze. It was rather a mish mash of...

Spring Cleaning...

Monday 30th March 2009

The sunshine is slowly creeping up on us and as we all keep our fingers crossed it stays like this, I’m taking my first steps into Spring with a clean-out of our flat. This yearly Spring clean is not something I’m accustomed to. Having been in our flat for nearly three years it’s...

Firey Feet

Wednesday 4th March 2009

What a week for my poor little feet! Last Saturday I went to my first wedding of the year, and like all the weddings I attend, I spent the first few hours applying make-up to the Bride and her entourage. After a few hours on my feet it was eventually time to get...

Proposed to in Paris...

Tuesday 10th February 2009

The perfect beginning to the year – A marriage proposal – and not just any proposal; this time it’s mine! Absolutely overjoyed and swamped by lovely messages from all my wonderful family and friends, I feel 2009 will be a good year! Having to start planning a wedding in this climate isn’t ideal...

New Year Madness

Tuesday 20th January 2009

I now have eventually put pen to paper after what has been a long Christmas break. A few weeks out of my daily routine and my brain seems to go to pot! Why do I always seem to start the New Year with a hangover, a bloated stomach and dehydrated skin? Feeling...

Knickers in a Twist

Monday 15th December 2008

It’s been one of those weeks: ‘When it rains it truly does pour.’ Literally. A leak in our ceiling has meant cleaning out a cupboard full of damp clothes, and bending down to save all my shoes was a such a pain in the back that my chiropractor had to come and...

Warm Up For Winter...

Monday 24th November 2008

Last week was definitely one of excitement. Like the other 12 million people in England I have been following the X factor religiously. This year, the addition of a small Girl Aloud has definitely pulled in the punters from the pubs and it seems each Saturday night, families, couples and singles alike...

Hazardous Hats and Hair

Friday 31st October 2008

Last week I went to a brilliant party organised in aid of Libre Infanica - a fantastic charity supported by many of my friends, for which the theme was hats! I am never shy of pulling out all the stops when it comes to dressing up and have a cupboard full of different...

To Market, To Market

Thursday 16th October 2008

It’s been another busy week, so busy in fact that I was forced to reschedule my appointment at Bliss Spa - very annoying but only a mild irritation compared to the hefty parking fine I received last week. Working weekends is inevitable with my job. Unfortunately, this means having to leave the party early...

My LFW...

Thursday 25th September 2008

It seems that we’re all in need of some cheering up. (Especially if like me you went to see The Duchess last week and drowned your popcorn in tears!) With the weekend’s sunshine so short lived and news that the financial markets are in such dire straits, a few pick me ups are definitely...

The Perception of Perfection…

Wednesday 10th September 2008

I’ve chosen to write my first blog a little tipsy on the plane back from Miami. A terrible flyer, once on board I make it my first priority to knock back a couple of glasses of Sauvignon Blanc. Not the best medicine for dehydrated skin but after hours in the sun this week...
