My Valentine’s Luxury Lust List…

My Valentine’s Luxury Lust List…

Mr AMR would rather repeatedly stick a screwdriver into his eye sockets than do anything for Valentine's, but I, for one, think that it's the perfect excuse to receive a little treat. Something beautifully scented, something flirty and pink, or pale and expensive and...

Mini Rodini x Adidas Originals: A Year of Total Cool

I know that the word "cool" is a bit outdated, but I don't know how else to describe the collaboration between kids' brand Mini Rodini and Adidas. When a top-hatted panda mini-tracksuit arrived on the doorstep, my first thought was: my sister would LOVE this in a...

A New Arrival…

For those who don't follow me on Twitter or Instagram, an important update: New Baby has arrived! A boy! He was delivered on Friday 3rd February weighing in at 9lbs 7oz and he is just absolutely perfect in every single way. (Not the seventy eight thousand kilos I was...

Diptyque Philosykos: A Life-Long Love Affair

Diptyque Philosykos: A Life-Long Love Affair

I made a cheeky little Space NK purchase just before Christmas; the Philosykos eau de toilette from Diptyque. This makes it  - by far - my most-repurchased luxury beauty item. I can't think of any other product I race through so quickly and so religiously keep "in...

Pregnancy Skincare: Safe Swaps for Powerful Products

Pregnancy Skincare: Safe Swaps for Powerful Products

If you read my post on pregnancy skincare last week, you'll have seen that I asked cosmetic dermatologist Dr Sam Bunting for her opinion on a couple of quite controversial ingredients - retinol and salicylic acid. Many professionals (including Dr Sam) are of the...

The Pregnancy Diaries: 39 Weeks

(About this photo: sometimes Mother takes photos of me on her mobile phone, and then she looks at them at says "ooh now that's a lovely one", and then she sends it and I expect it to be some sort of Testino masterpiece but it turns out like...well, this. Usually they...

What’s In My Hospital Bag? (Planned C-Section)

Lots of people requested I make a video on the contents of my hospital bag, so here it is - to be very honest, it's not much different to the bag I took with me when I was having Angelica, which was supposed to be a natural birth. The clothes are looser, the knickers...

Chanel Coco Codes Collection

Chanel Coco Codes Collection

Woo, there's some serious alliteration going on there! "Chanel Coco Codes Collection" - sounds all cloaked in Parisian mystery, if you ask me. But listen, I can't go on too much because I'm - quite literally -  about to have the new baby and it feels a bit...

Darphin and the All-Day Eye Refresh | AD

Darphin and the All-Day Eye Refresh | AD

The last few weeks of pregnancy have not been kind to me, not in terms of peace and restfulness, anyway. Firstly, my nesting instinct kicked in, but instead of me polishing and sorting out drawers I've been on a crazy work frenzy, sending emails at midnight and...

VBACs and C-Sections: My Ultimate Truth

I've come to a conclusion about the whole VBAC thing. You'll be pleased to know. Bloody good job, really, as the baby could be here at any minute, surprising me before my elective section! This post is going to be a bit over-honest, I'm taking myself well out of my...

GAP x Disney Dumbo

In between doing crazy, frenzied bursts of work (obviously my version of nesting, as I've mentioned!), I have been spending quite a bit of time browsing clothes online for Angelica. And in-store, if I've been out and about, but in truth I've not been getting around...
