FOTD
All the talk about the latest MAC collection of starflash e/s prompted me to delve into the depths of my stash and use the starflash shadows that I purchased from the original release. It's nothing that exciting but it felt perfect for sunny day in the park with the...
What Would Audrey Do?
I ask myself this question on a regular basis. I'm so inspired by all that is Audrey and I'm happy to admit that on occasion I shamelessly copy her style outright! By way of photographic evidence here is a picture of me at my sister's 21st birthday party last year...
Up/Down

Homesick
The sun actually made an appearance down here in Devon today. There is no denying that I'm lucky enough to live in a really beautiful part of Great Britain. Our home is in Exeter, a city with some amazing architecture and lots of lush, green open spaces. It's...

Things I’ve been loving this month – July
Apologies for the lack of posts over the last week. My boyfriend has been away at a festival, leaving me completely responsible for the children!! I am more tired than I thought humanly possible and cannot wait for his return tomorrow evening. I escaped to my mum's...
Drama, Drama, Drama!
Alexander McQueen Fall 2009As much as I believe that fashion should be wearable and accessible, it is collections like this one that really feed my fashion addiction. I love really theatrical collections. McQueen always seems to present something incredibly crazy and...
I’m a little bit excited about…
... the release of this film! We are huge Tim Burton fans in our house (my daughter knows every single word to 'Nightmare Before Christmas' and idolises Jack the pumpkin king!) and I love anything to do with Alice. The images that are floating about the Internet at...
Make-up and beauty Monday Poll…

Up/Down
Going up... Finally getting my hair cut and coloured. Spending Saturday with my mum, step-dad, boyfriend and the kids. The sun even came out long enough for us to have a picnic. Chocolate brownies and strawberries at aforementioned picnic. Scrumptious! Wandering...
Bag Porn
I'm a tiny bit obsessed with the latest Gucci ad campaign. I love the sexy, rock chic look, the hair, the make-up, and I'd sell my children to get those shoes (I joke). But most of all I *need* that bag. A little bit of online window shopping and I've picked out the...
Lipstick and rainy days
Today was the first day that my daughter has been up to leaving the house in over a week. The advice is to isolate those with swine flu for at least 7 days or until symptoms have disappeared. As she hasn't had a temperature for a few days and is back to her usual...
Coco Before Chanel
I'm getting quite excited about this movie. Unfortunately, the chances of me being able to make a trip to the cinema any time soon are slim to none so I'll probably end up waiting for it to come out on DVD. Apparently, the film traces Coco's rise from an impoverished...
FOTD
Hee Hee, it looks like the lampshade is growing out of my head in this photo! This is the most make-up I've worn in ages and it feels sooo good!! I feel much more like myself. I really wanted to add some winged eyeliner as well but my daughter was desperate to go in...
Up/Down
Going Up...My daughter is much better and the baby hasn't fallen ill (yet... I'm not convinced we'll manage to avoid it completely).Pampering myself a little. I had a soak in a hot bath last night, used a face mask and gave myself a pedicure.Revlon nail polishes. I'm...
Shopping
I decided to make the most of my student discount while I still have it by picking up some bits from Topshop this morning. If I'm being honest, I don't buy that much from Topshop. Sometimes the stuff in there feels a bit too 'fashiony' for me. I also hate knowing that...
FOTD… it’s been a while!
The last time I managed to post a FOTD I was still pregnant! A gorgeous photograph of Courtney Cox prompted me to dig out the eye shadow and lippy I used today. I tend to shy away from warmer colours but I'm actually quite pleased with how this turned out, and I can't...
I Heart Roland!
Mr. Roland Mouret certainly knows how to dress a woman. Doesn't Dita look stunning in this 'Galaxy' dress?The dress I'm thinking of wearing on my birthday is very similar to his 'Moon' dress (pictured below). It has the higher neckline and gorgeous capped sleeves....

In Vogue
I have been obsessed with fashion magazines for as long as I can remember. I generally buy Elle and Glamour every month as well as numerous weeklies such as Look and Grazia. The other day I was browsing the magazine racks in WHSmiths and had a peek at the August...
