Make-up Crush
I've fallen in love with the make-up from the Christian Dior Spring 2010 catwalk show. I'm so inspired by this look... pastel eyes paired with perfect red lips. Gorgeous. I adore the retro yet modern hair too... I wish I could curl my hair this beautifully, I really...
Kate
Kate Moss from the April edition of British VogueI'm not a huge fan of Miss. Moss. I don't really get what all the fuss is about to be honest... sure she's pretty but a 'style icon', really?That said, I did fall in love with her recent Vogue spread. Provocatively...
Laura Ashley
I'm almost certain that I haven't worn anything from Laura Ashley since I was about 6 years old. I had a blue and white polka dot dress with little puffed sleeves and a sash that tied in a big bow at the back. It was wheeled out for many a family wedding.In fact, the...
Friday Night Glamour
I could have done with an umbrella this afternoon. Izzy and I got soaked on the way home from school. It was fun though. We were pretending to be Gene Kelly in 'Singing in the Rain', splashing in puddles and twirling round lampposts. I don't care if I looked like a...
Because I Can’t Resist Revlon
Although I've seen a few bloggers suggest that this years spring collections are *yawn* decidedly similar to last years spring collections, I've still found myself lusting after a few things. Perhaps this is because, unlike a lot of beauty addicts out there, I've...
Up/Down
Going Up...Hitting pan on multiple MAC products. I feel a teeny bit of a shopping spree coming on. I haven't bought any MAC in ages.Getting back in touch with an old friend. I was feeling guilty about loosing contact (because being 'friends' on facebook and seeing...
Think Pink
I was in such a rush to get ready last Tuesday evening that I failed to take any pictures of the outfit or make-up that I wore to my work 'do'. Therefore, my rambling description and a little bit of shoe porn will have to suffice. Not that long ago, I was browsing...

My weekend has mainly been spent…
Catching up with my cousin and her man. They're about to move to Australia for work so it will be ages before we see them again. They wanted to stock up on cuddles from the children before they jet off on their exciting adventure. Eating Italian food. I had a huuuuuge...
Friday Night Glamour
We have some house guests arriving this evening which means I have spent most of this morning catching up on housework and preparing the food for this evenings meal. I'd love to pretend I look as gorgeous as this pin-up in the process but that would be a blatant lie,...
40 (ish) Skin & Beauty Questions
I love reading these! They go some way in satisfying my insatiable curiosity (read: 'I'm dead nosey, me'). Here are my own answers for your perusal...How many times do you wash your face daily?Twice, although much more thoroughly in the evenings when I need to remove...
Somewhere Over The Rainbow…
Aaaaaaaaahhhhh I love Judy.And I love Lush.So a new bubble bar inspired by what is probably Miss. Garland's most well known performance was bound to grab my attention. Lush's stunning new 'Dorothy' bubble bar is a joy to behold... and bathe in. Nestled atop each...
Oh You Pretty Things
I'm absolutely exhausted tonight. It took all of my energy to simply switch on the laptop! I'm suffering from a classic case of 'too much wine, not enough sleep'.Yesterday evening I got myself glammed up, slipped into my LBD and tottered up the road in a pair of pink...
The Veronica Effect
As I was unable to watch the Oscars yesterday, I spent most of this afternoon on the Internet pouring over images from the red carpet. I'm still undecided as to which star wore the best dress, but in terms of hair and make-up Cameron Diaz and Kate Winslet certainly...
My weekend has mainly been spent…
Baking chocolate cupcakes with my little Izzy. They were scrumptious but incredibly rich. I used Green & Blacks dark chocolate and milk chocolate and the frosting was made from double cream! Yummy!Lusting after the new MAC collections online.Enjoying the bright but...
Let the Search Begin
I tend to feel that each new season brings with it a new fashion mission.In autumn I begin hunting for dreamy knitwear (you know, *ahem* affordable cashmere) and tops and tees for layering that fit perfectly and won't loose their shape after one wash.In winter I want...
Friday Night Glamour
It's hard to imagine anything more elegant than Grace Kelly. Here she is pictured with her Best Actress Oscar in 1954 (well, it is awards season after all). The hair, the gloves... it's all perfect.I kind of wish I could get away with a pair of evening gloves in my...
Things I’ve been loving this month…
Better late than never! As February drew to a close I couldn't help but start to get excited about the imminent arrival of spring. I function much better in the sunnier months and I'm just itching to pack away my winter essentials and give my dresses, cute jackets and...

‘A Bargain Brush’ or ‘Revlon Do It Again’
Aaaaaages ago I noted my interest in a new collection of make-up brushes by Revlon. I had spotted them in Superdrug and was determined to go back and have a closer look. Well, I finally did and I believe I may have discovered a gem!The 'contour shadow brush' was the...
