Things I adore in fashion, beauty and more!

Oribe 24-Karat Gold Pomade

An absolute must for the Christmas season, this pomade is perfect for glamming up any do, just swipe a small amount over the surface over your hair  and you are ready to go!

Daphne Guinness x Mac

Daphne GuinnessI love Daphne Guinness and these ads that she has done for Mac. The colours are really beautiful, apparently inspired by pigeon blood…

Nanoblur

Nanoblur

This stuff is bloody amazing. Say no more – go to Boots and get some!

Barbra Streisand

Barbara Streisand

A continual source of inspiration to me, Barbra Streisand is one of my all-time style heroines. I’ve put together a few of my favourite images to share with you. What really amazes me is how ahead of her time she was, take a look at the image of her with her red blouse, the colour is totally on trend!

 

 

A kind of fine

My great friend Kirt Holmes is taking a different direction. After years of running a really amazing jewellery shop, Kirt has decided to go with her heart and open this absolutely beautiful little shop on Camden Passage. I popped in last week and wanted to buy everything in there. There are the most beautiful candles that I have ever smelt and an amazing selection of books and curiosities, as well as the most beautiful jewellery, designed of course by Kirt. I would recommend taking a visit to this little treasure.

Skinesis

I love tools and gadgets and I came across this really great facial massager the other day whilst on a trip to Space NK. I bought the Sarah Chapman, Skinesis Overnight Facial and use it in conjunction with that and I have to say that I think it is fantastic!

Shen Beauty

This is Brooklyn’s hidden treasure! Shen Beauty has a great range of brands and the team that works there are amazing. The hand-picked selection of products is the best I have seen, the staff are knowledgeable and know about all the products in the store. If you are ever across the pond, take time to hop on the subway and head over. If you can’t, here is the website: www.shen-beauty.com

Kate Moss at Louis Vuitton S/S12

The dress is beautiful, the shoes are marvelous and there is a striking simplicity to the hair. Love it all!

Guido Palau for Alexander McQueen, Savage Beauty

To say these works of art have inspired me is an understatement. Designed by the genius that is Guido Palau for the Savage Beauty exhibition at Manhattan Metropolitan Museum of Art, these headpieces really bring the collections in the exhibition to life. It’s rare to be so inspired and I really cannot stop staring!

Mr Hare

Two of my favourite places to shop, Liberty and Oki NI, stock Mr Hare footwear and I recently purchased a pair of the sheepskin-lined boots.

Dries Van Noten

I was looking for my Most Wanted and The It List Grand Finals outfit and wanted to get something really special, so on a recent trip to Paris I took a diversion to the absolutely beautiful Dries Van Noten shop. The staff are so stylish and helpful and the clothes are beyond amazing. I got myself a great outfit and a few little extras…
