Last week I put together a bit of a generic gift-guide, but now it's time to funkify the most special woman in your life with these on trend pieces that she wouldn't necessarily buy for herself. Take a peek through this slideshow to see what Read more
Whilst I realise that a garden theme isn't an original newsworthy story for Spring, the influence on the products that this timeless idea generates are something special this season. Take for example, the mustard-brown nail varnish from Nails Inc called Hampstead Gardens inspired by the heath in North London. Or, how about In the Garden of Good and Eva, a fragrance from Benefit Cosmetics? I love Read more

December is such a big month for consumers as you have Christmas to shop for, the weather is getting so cold that you crave comfy cosy clothing, boots, hats and outerwear, and your beauty regimen changes a bit to protect your skin from the chilly air outside and the hot air inside. I had so much fun picking out four must-have fashion items along with four beauty picks to peruse this month. Take a Read more
It's been a banner couple of months for mascara. First I discovered Fibre Lash from Modelco and now testing out a mascara from Benefit, one of my favourite cosmetic brands called They're Real! (£18.50). It launched last quarter and promises to plump up your lashes to look as though you are wearing falsies. The key is the rubbery style brush that has been designed with staggered domed-tip Read more
Imagine yourself in Cornwall in the 1920s at a Gatsby party. Take a peek around at the architecture and that's what you see on the printed geographic clothing at the Jean Pierre Braganza show. The palette consisted of buttery ivories, pale greys, and cold pinks inspired by a recent discovery of how artist Ben Nicholson created balance from imbalance. However, don't ask the designer himself about Read more

Okay, so Spring isn't quite here yet, but despite the chilly air outside, I do see some signs of Spring looming. Heck, we even had a warmish afternoon on Sunday here in Londontown. One thing's for sure though, Spring makeup and skincare is in full bloom! We're seeing everything from orange and lime to fun bright nail polish shades. I'm not sure about you, but I am in need of some colour — it's Read more
A peach blush is a wonderful way to warm up any skin tone. You can wear a pale shade if you have fair skin or a deeper, more coral shade if you have olive or ebony skin. It's a great alternative to pink blush because it's neutral and won't clash with a last-minute change to, say, red lipstick or purple eye shadow. I happen to think that peach blush also looks amazing paired with a teal, blue, or Read more
