Some rain essentials for you, this week, seeing as though the UK is experiencing a seemingly relentless downpour. Man, I need a holiday… Wading on in with an investment piece, first of all: the Kensington trench from Burberry. This needs to be the sort of investment you make for life, not just for a season – it’s…
In my last post I brought you gifts for a “cosy night in“; now behold my Christmas present ideas for party animals, social butterflies and anyone who would appreciate a touch of luxury, a spot of decadence. Let’s start with a bit of sparkly Chanel, shall we? The classic Rouge Noir nail polish (right) and a…
The beauty world seems to be overrun with samples and miniatures at the moment – beauty boxes, advent calendars and special gifts-with-purchases that just seem to be getting more and more swanky. It’s like battle of the travel sizes! Many people are put off by the mystery element of these beauty boxes and calendars (though…
*I’m so sorry: this post was supposed to go out weeks ago but I made an error with my scheduling. You may well have already seen the video, in which case I send my apologies, but if you haven’t then hurrah for you! My five favourite nude lipsticks of the moment. Obviously subject to change,…
I kind of feel as though I’m holding onto a loaded weapon here: this is the stuff that shopping dreams are made of! A 30% “friends and family” discount code to be used to buy anything* – anything – at the luxury online store Very Exclusive! So that’s Vivienne Westwood dresses, Karl Lagerfeld bags, classic Joseph…
These Burberry sunglasses are the absolute business. If someone could have read my mind and secretly designed me my perfect summertime eyewear then these oversized Gaberdine glasses would have been the result. I love the oversized frames – they feel really retro, but the pale colour of the frames and lenses stops these from being the kind…
Just as an FYI: this video with Caroline Hirons started off being twenty-nine minutes long. Trying to get it down to anything below twenty took an effort of epic proportions, and finishing off with something that was seventeen? Well. I deserve some kind of Youtube editing medal. You’ll be pleased to know that I left in…
Caroline Hirons came over to film with me yesterday and I appropriated a lipstick from her stash. (We were filming new launches, she had gone lipstick crazy.) Behold the Burberry Kisses lipstick in Devon Sunset; a luminous peachy shade that looks almost neon in certain lights, definitely bright enough to satisfy those of you who are searching…
Last week I did a Burberry makeup tutorial, recreating the AW15 show look and revealing a couple of handy smokey eye tricks that their makeup artist, Wendy Rowe, had demonstrated. It actually gave me a good opportunity to really have a proper play around with some of Burberry’s base makeup products, as well as the colour- or…
I’ve been working for Burberry* for the past couple of days, following the behind-the-scenes “journey” of the makeup look for the AW15 show. You’ll notice, if you scan back through previous Fashion Week posts, that it’s the Burberry show that always grabs my attention; I think partly because the brand is so successful at creating…
1) I’m off to Burberry HQ today to do something very exciting. I’m working with them over the course of today and tomorrow to cover their AW15 beauty look – the makeup is always a huge part of the “buzz” that surrounds their London Fashion Week show. There will be a couple of little previews and…
Well I must say that this fragrance has grown on me, if only a little. I couldn’t stand it at first. It’s not my type of perfume at all, but it has caught my attention somehow – perhaps because it’s such a breath of fresh air at a time when many fragrance releases are on…
There are so many beautiful makeup morsels out there at the moment, so I’ve done a bit of a “Fantasy Christmas” roundup. Obviously if this was actually the contents of my handbag I’d be a bit stuck – no keys, no money, no phone – but at least I’d look presentable! The clutch bag is the gorgeous and…
1) I don’t know how this fact has escaped me, being the relentless online shopper that I am: Net-a-Porter have a beauty section! Brands include the amazing Charlotte Tilbury, By Terry, and the most recent addition, Burberry. I have to admit to being rather worried about this new discovery; Net-a-Porter and I already have a…
Yes, I know: “partying” used as a verb. As bad as “holidaying”, in my books – where do you holiday? – but still. I wore it emblazoned across my chest on a Milly NY t-shirt: “Sorry for Partying”. I wish I had time to “party” – the most I’ve managed recently was a couple of red wines…
Earlier this week it was Burberry Beauty, today it’s Burberry Style. I’m sorry, I just couldn’t resist. It’s partly the fault of DisneyRollerGirl who posted about her favourite SS14 looks and reminded me of the fact that they were all available to pre-order right this minute. I mustn’t even go there – the double cashmere trench…
