Up/Down
Going Up...Central heating, my winter coat and new boots. Autumn is officially here.More Christmas purchases. Working my way through the long list now means I should avoid any crazy panic-buying when the shops start to get busier.LUSH Christmas Eve bubble bar. I...
Photorealism FOTD
I actually took these photos about a week ago... I just haven't had the time to write the post up! I used the Photorealism palette from the recent MAC Make-up Art Cosmetics collection and loosely followed the tutorial I mentioned in the original shopping blog. I...
Fashion Crush: Balmain S/S 2010
I think I'm in love with this collection. I need some sparkle in my life asap. I'm wondering what sort of looks I'd get in the playground if I strolled up to the school gates in a pair of silver, skin-tight skinny jeans.Loveaudrey...
Indigo Charms FOTD
I finally got round to using the Lancome palette I purchased over a month ago. I absolutely love these shadows. Fabulous texture and pigmentation (FWIW, the blue was much more intense than these photos suggest). I used the promo image that accompanied the launch as...
Recovery
Yesterday evening I had a friend over for wine, nibbles and a good old catch up. She has recently come out of a 4 year relationship and is feeling very raw and emotional. I was trying so hard to do a good job of listening and providing hugs at the right moments that I...

I ordered this Disney Couture necklace from ASOS yesterday evening. I've wanted it for aaaaages! It's now been reduced from £24.50 to £18.50 so I couldn't talk myself out of it anymore!Loveaudrey...
Up/Down
Going Up... Buying the first few Christmas presents. We both have really big families so I have to start early in order to be able to afford everything! MAC Vex e/s. So pretty. I never get bored of this shade as it's so versatile. It looks slightly different every...
The joys of motherhood No.2: Memories
I am absolutely exhausted this evening. Too tired to post the FOTD I photographed yesterday. Baby boy woke us at 5am, screaming as if he'd never been fed in his life. I bundled him into bed with me and dozed while he fed. He woke again at around 6.30am, seemingly...
Fashion Crush: Dior Haute Couture A/W 2009/2010
Galliano doesn't disappoint. The collection, dubbed 'Fever in the Cabine', was inspired by Christian Dior's 'cabine' of models in the 1950s and photographs of the girls undressing backstage, revealing suspenders and girdles. I'm literally drooling over these...

Magical
I love these images from Vogue Korea. They remind me of Alice in Wonderland....
Taylor Momsen I salute you!
I have a confession to make. I've never watched Gossip Girl. Or the Hills. Or most of the other TV programmes that I read about on other blogs. Why? Because... shock horror... we don't have television, and we haven't for about 3 years.Nonetheless, Taylor Momsen has...
I smell it, I want it….
I had a quick sniff of the new YSL fragrance in Boots this morning. It's going straight on my wish list as I think it smells divine. I also love the promo imagery. Kate Moss looks HOT! The bottle is quite pretty too (reminds me a little of the V&R Flowerbomb...
Things I’ve been loving this month…
A few of the things that have been making me smile throughout September... The sight of my son in his beanie hat! My new favourite scent combination. Lush Vanilla Dee-lite body lotion paired with Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb. It's super sweet but as the day goes on it...

The joys of motherhood No.1 – My barnet
I thought (hoped) that I wouldn't need to blog about this little issue. It was to be a temporary setback... a phase that would pass quickly without too much trauma. Unfortunately, it hasn't and I now find myself desperate to vent a little (or a lot) about this...

Going Up...Sundays. Yesterday we had a proper roast dinner. Beef, yorkshire puddings, gravy... the works! It was delicious!ESPA Hydrating Cleansing Milk and Floral Spafresh. My skin is (touch wood) looking the best it has in ages. It's clear, calm, smooth and has no...
