Vintage Crushes
For some strange reason all of my celebrity crushes are out of date by a few decades.Gene Kelly... especially dressed as a sailor in 'On The Town'Carry Grant... especially in 'Charade' with my beloved Audrey. If you haven't seen this film hunt it down, it's...
Beautiful things…
Aren't these breathtaking? They're like some kind of optical illusion, it's hard to see where the model ends and the fabric begins. Vogue Patterns by Steven Meisel. Originally from Italia Vogue Dec 2007. Loveaudrey...
A proud day in the Loveaudrey household…
Little Miss LA started primary school this morning! Had to share these pictures of my baby looking all grown-up. Yes... I did cry. Just a tiny bit.Loveaudrey...
Lancome Treats!
This was yet another fall collection that I was stupidly excited about. I had asked the lovely lady that works on the Lancome counter in Boots when they were expecting it and I was straight down on Saturday for a peek at the goodies. I adore the combination of gold...
Things I’ve been loving this month…
The end of August already? Where is the year going? I honestly feel as if I only unpacked my summer sandals last week and yet I'm writing this while wearing a snuggly pair of tan boots. August bank jollyday and it feels decidedly autumnal outside. Oh well. Here are...
Chanel Goodies
I have been so excited about this collection! I kept wandering past the Chanel counter in my local Debenhams because I really didn't want to miss out on swatching everything as soon as it was released! In the end I purchased the Murano quad and Gondola nail polish. I...
My Birthday Make-up and Outfit
This post is a little late (my birthday was two weeks ago)! I had to wait for my sister to send me the pics she took as I stupidly forgot to take my camera out with us. She only managed to take a few in the restaurant while we were having our meal so unfortunately...

Click your heels together three times…
I have a minor obsession with The Wizard of Oz (and Judy Garland in general), a fact which, earlier this week, prompted my mum to send me a couple of magazine articles about the films 70th birthday. It's hard to believe it's really that old. It's such a timeless...

Elizabeth Taylor. Stunning...... and seriously sexy!Loveaudrey...
FOTD
Well... technically yesterday.My exam was in the afternoon so I had the whole morning to feel nervous and anxious. To relieve some of the tension I decided to spend a bit of time on my make-up. Applying eye-shadow can be very therapeutic! Despite the fact it's still...
Make-up and Beauty Monday Poll
I'm too tired to write a proper post tonight, despite having a million things I want to blog about. I sat my first university exam today and I'm exhausted. One more to go and I'll be finished. I can't wait. The stress is horrible and I'd much rather be at home playing...
Up/Down
Going Up...It's the weekend and my in-laws (or sin-laws as I lovingly call them... my boyfriend is yet to make an honest woman of me) are coming to stay. They've not seen baby boy since the day he was born. They're in for a shock as he's mahoooosive! He was 9lb at...
Inspiration
I was mooching around Specktra this evening and stumbled across a link to the most amazing website. It has literally 1000s of MAC eyeshadow combinations. They are listed alphabetically so you can search for combos using the colours that you already have in your...

Birthday Treats!

The wrong side of 25!
It's my birthday today! I've had an amazing weekend of celebrating and have been spoiled rotten by my wonderful friends and family. My mum babysat on Saturday night and a crowd of us went out for an Italian meal. I had so much fun getting dressed up. It was my first...
Tomboy or Vamp…
...asks this months edition of Vogue (on page 247 in case you're interested).Apparently 'there's a style battle on the horizon as two new figures of fashion emerge to tempt us into sartorial transfiguration'. Riiiight.But, it did get me thinking about the way I dress....

Going Up...My new Starflash eye shadow. I teamed One Off with Aquavert, Smoke and Diamonds and Vex today and it was lush. I really hope MAC put some of this formulation in the permanent range.Using face paints to make my daughter look like her new favourite heroine,...
When that little black box arrives…
... it always makes me smile! Here are my purchases from the recently released MAC collections, Love That Look and Graphic Garden. I chose two of the starflash eye-shadows, Strike A Pose (top) and One Off (bottom). These shadows are as smooth and pigmented as I had...
