I have been spending a dangerous amount of time staring at various accessories on the Gucci website. Scarves, headbands, belts, costume jewellery, shoes. I wouldn't normally tease myself in this way, but Gucci seem to have silently crept in and infiltrated every...
Sunscreen reviews: it's been a while. Mainly because (until recently) I hadn't been anywhere hot for almost four years. And to properly test out sun protection, to really get to grips with the texture and the effectiveness and the pros and the cons of a particular...
As you will know, if you've been following A Model Recommends for any length of time, I'm a very proud founder of the Colab dry shampoo brand. It seems like only yesterday that we launched it, with a star-studded party in East London (I had found out that I was...
Here's a very effective and affordable face treat for you, if you're after something light, hydrating and sensibly formulated. Suitable for sensitive, itchy or very dry skin (as well as skin with no particular complaints), CeraVe's Moisturising Lotion comes in a...
Don't panic, but this might be the last monthly update on The Uphill in its current form. I'm considering merging my two websites together, so that beauty and style content from A Model Recommends sits alongside life updates and family stuff and posts about being a...
It's a good Top 5 Favourite Things video, this month. I had time to really ponder my favourites, save the best of them into my brain and then build them up to almost mythical levels of amazingness. To be fair, Grace Timothy's book, Mum Face, is already actually at...
Could this be the answer to (possibly) the most frequently occurring hair dilemma known to man? How many times have you heard people (including me) say things like, 'I really want a fringe but I don't know whether it will suit me!' 'I want something interesting doing...
My latest video has quite the dramatic title: Things Have Got To Change. It started off as a video about diet and exercise and the fact that I have a terrible diet and don't do any exercise, but then I went off on a tangent and it became a video about all of the...
As you'll know if you've been following my interiors posts (both on here and on Instagram) I'm really trying to take my time with decorating and furnishing the new house. Mostly because there's a lot to decorate and furnish and it's a bit overwhelming, but also...
I love this jacket from LK Bennett. It's very chic, very Parisian, very...Chanely. Could Chanely be a word? Maybe it would make more sense with a hyphen in it, like Chanel-y. I mean to say, of course, that the jacket has more than a touch of Chanel about it - the boxy...
There's an ongoing argument about eye creams in the beauty world; some believe them to be utterly pointless and instead of making the separate investment simply use their existing facial serum and moisturiser right up to and around the eye area. Others (me included)...
All of this house-styling stuff, this current obsession with Instagram-perfect interiors, it's driving me to distraction! I'm just so torn. On the one hand, I want to put some effort into doing up my house - I want to make it lovely and I want to do it justice. It's...
