One of my favourite books by this author, this is Hoffman at her finest. Blackbird House is a series of short stories about one house, from the day it's built to the present, telling the stories of the lives that live there. Often tragic, but always beautiful, each story is different, but with certain themes …

Book haul: my latest fashion and style book purchases.
I love books, and this week I added a few fashion and beauty books to my shelves, that I thought I might share with you. I tend to pick up second hand books on places like Ebay or Amazon.com but I also have loads of really good charity shops around me, so I'm pretty lucky really. …

Marilyn Monroe by Barbara Leaming
In this book, Barbara Leaming has looked deep into the archives to discover the life of a woman who captured the hearts and imaginations of millions before her tragic death. Oddly, the book is untraditional in that it starts with her meeting Arthur Miller for the first time. Perhaps with so many books about the …
Summer look: White Paint Splatter Dress and Bright Lips.
I have a bit of a thing about white dresses in Summer. They feel so cool and fresh, and perfect for barbeques, garden parties, whatever. Although I invariably spill something on them almost immediately, I still buy them every year. I fell in love with this dress which you can find along with a myriad …

The Wonderful Wise Owl Tea Review
There's nothing quite like the afternoon quiet time, when you can reward yourself for the mornings work with a delicious cup of herbal tea, or curling up with a book and a pot of fragrant brew while the rain beats on your window pane. I'm a huge tea fan, and like to try new varieties, …
Out Today: Huck the new comic book from Mark Millar and Rafa Albuquerque
Huck is a different kind of comic book. It's not about a traditional superhero, though Huck does have a gift that sets him apart. Abandoned as a child, he picked up the habit at the orphanage of doing one good deed a day. And with his ability to find anything, and some other neat powers …

Vintage Looks: 1920’s style make up
As some of you probably already know, I love all things vintage, and as someone who makes and writes films, I think I have a tendency towards dressing up and the dramatic. I've always loved the 20's look, but being someone with curves, I find that the era is not so friendly to my body …
Coffee, Screenings and DVD Library at the Close Up Film Centre, London.
I'm kind of surprised that I'd never heard of this place before! I came across it one Saturday night in East London, after leaving a rather disappointing event early, and wandering along at a bit of a loose end on the way to get some sushi. The place has a calm, slightly academic atmosphere and …

Daddy-Long-Legs by Jean Webster
Written way back in 1912 for children or young adults, by Jean Webster, a woman who believed in women's rights and other socially progressive issues, this book has been made into films and stage plays. And for some reason, I had never read it. Which is crazy, because as a kid I was a reader, …
