Monsieur Philips, you’ve done it again! I cannot wait for this colour to come out – it’s a little Proenza, a little Rodarte and a whole lotta Klimt.
Today is the last day of fashion week and I have to say that I’m quite relieved, I think it has been the busiest week of my life! I’ve been so lucky to see so many great shows – my favourites being Romance Was Born, Dion Lee and Karla Spetic – and to interview many brilliant [...]

Happy New Year! I hope you had a smashing night and are having a relaxing New Years Day. I’ve had an epic sleep in, a burger for brunch and am now getting my blog on whilst waiting for it to get a little cooler outside before we all head to the beach. Hooray for summer! [...]

Ali Stevens looking divine in the August edition of Flair shot by Eric Guillemain. I love the shadows on her face and how they emphasise the gloss on her lids. The gloss makes the grey smokey eye much more wearable and suitable for daytime. Her brows are also pretty gorgeous too, a beautiful, strong shape [...]
Good morning! I generally like to use fairly natural products on my skin as it gets a decent workout from the makeup I wear. Recently though, I’ve found my skin to be really uneven so I’ve upped the ante. By recommendation of the lovely, fun and amazing Noni Smith, I’ve been trying out the powerful Murad [...]

Oh yes! It’s couture time! Over three days of last week Paris held the couture shows where 10 labels offered to us their finest work.

I love painting my nails. Every two to three days I have a new colour on. I love choosing a colour based on how I’m feeling, or how I want to feel. It’s the simple pleasures. I also love ice-cream. This summertime I’ve combined both of my infatuations and have only been wearing creamy pastel [...]
