The Lipstick Edit: My Latest Lip Product Haul
Every now and then you just have to update part of your makeup "wardrobe". Mine was full of some really old bits that I never used, and random bits that I never wore because they didn't suit me. By throwing them out, I could justify doing a little lipstick shopping! I mean, I had loads …

An Autumn Walk In London, and A Seasonal Tart Recipe.
Not normally a recipe post type of person, but this one I thought you might get a kick out of since it's made from foraged ingredients and a pastry base that anyone can make. Perfect if you need to impress someone but have no cooking skills. London is beautiful at this time of year, with the …

The Perfume Edit: Let’s Talk Scents!
I don't normally do perfume reviews, especially since I already have a favourite that I wear all the time: Chanel No 5! But there's something so magical about perfume: the beautiful bottles, the exotic notes, and the luxury of havig something expensive that you can wear everyday, pressed or dabbed onto your pulse points or …

A Makeup Look Made Entirely From Samples? Why not.
Ok, so to be fair, they're pretty awesome, high end samples, but still. This is something I sometimes do if I'm travelling because I like to pack lightly. Travel sizes are great too, but if you pop some samples in your bag they're even tinier and you're likely to use the whole thing in the course …

The Latest Korean Beauty Trend: Colour Change Jelly Lipstick With A Flower
I like to keep an eye on the beauty trends coming out of Korea, because so much of what starts there eds up flooding our dressing tables and beauty counters a few months later, and also because the products are often so cute. Although the big trend right now on all the blogs and Instagram …

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 …
