1) Well. I thought that this would be my first week back, but really, I’ve done hardly anything at all other than watch lots of The Good Wife with Mr AMR. I’ve actually had a very nice week indeed, thank you very much, and have been far more relaxed than I was over Christmas. Maybe relaxing takes…
1) Have you been keeping up with my sales posts? I’ve scoured the internet for the best deals in fashion (here), books (here) and now beauty (here)! Thank you, though, to an eagle-eyed reader who spotted an Alpha-H deal at LookFantastic. It’s two 100ml bottles of Liquid Gold for £39.99, but she also had a…
Well. Christmas is pretty much over, isn’t it? I feel as pooped as Bugs does in the photo above! This is the last of the more “chatty”, diary-style posts that I’ve been relying on over the holidays – normal service resumes tomorrow… On with the Tittle Tattle. 1) Your thoughts needed please: do you mind that…
I’m very much winding down now for Christmas, so posts will be of a random, casual nature. I hope you don’t mind, it’s just that I’d quite like to have a little downtime before the January madness starts! This week’s tittle tattle is devoted solely to my new and amazing niece, Edith. I’m really quite…
1) I’m home. Boo hoo. I’d quite like to rewind time by about 72 hours and be back on a sunlounger, drinking a Virgin Strawberry Daiquiri (addictive, I must have consumed about twenty over the course of six days) and reading Complete Short Stories by Elizabeth Taylor. By the way, I got so much work done in Dubai –…
1) ASOS have 20% off everything. This is the kind of news that makes me feel joyous and slightly sick, all at the same time. I am bound to go completely and utterly over le top. The code is WKEND20 should you wish to join me in a vomit-inducing fash-fest that is bound to end in tears: asos.com (ends…
1) My Chloe bra set from Boux Avenue is lovely! The bra is very well cut and supportive, I’m pleased as punch. Especially as it was in the sale – I’m not sure this neon orange is available anymore. But they have a very festive red version and I can highly recommend this particular Chloe style – I…
1) I am 33 in four days’ time. No, five. Hold on – how many days until Thursday? (Blatantly I just want everyone to know that it’s my birthday coming up.) Before I turn 33 I wanted to write something profound about age; “life in your thirties” perhaps, or “the last decade: my journey”, but…
1) On Friday I finally made it to the Cire Trudon store on Chiltern Street in London. I have been meaning to pay it a proper visit for ages and it was definitely worth the wait. I challenge anyone to step inside and not want to buy up every candle going! It’s a quirky little treasure trove of amazing…
1) Viviscal (makers of brilliant hair supplements) are conducting a worldwide hair census, finding out the true meaning of a good hair day. (For me, a good hair day is pretty much any day that I’ve made enough effort to actually release my hair from the usual ballerina bun, but I can imagine that it…
1) Ah, the joys of Halloween. I made absolutely no effort whatsoever for the DailyMixTV party – but then felt a bit bad about it when saw the complexities of some of the other outfits. I’m a bit of a miserly fancy-dresser and I always regret it when I get to the party and see…
1) I just typed Sunday Tired Tattle by mistake! Do you think my brain is trying to tell me something? I’m feeling a little out of sorts – possibly because of my shockingly poor diet recently (see yesterday’s post) but mainly, I think, because this year has just been so bloody hectic! My brain whizzes around at…
1) What a week! No sooner had I moved into my new house (yes I’m loving it, yes I have been spending an inordinate amount of time watching little birds dart in and out of the trees and the bird houses and staring at the river) than I had to whizz off again and spend half the week…
1) I’m writing this one way in advance – nearly a whole week! – for fear that I will get to my new country residence and be stuck without internet. It’s funny – I am almost obsessional about making sure that one post goes out a day here on A Model Recommends. If there’s a gap then weird…
1) I’m mid house-move, so my most sincere apologies on advance if any posts are missing over the next week or so. I dread to think what the internet will be like where I’m going – I may find myself running at full pace back to London and kicking out my tenants. “I’ve changed my…
1) At the risk of repeating myself, I have to just say one more time that these palettes and glow powders (above) from Burberry Beauty are so gorgeous. An absolute pleasure to use. They have been making me very, very happy for the past month! You can watch the video that they’re featured in here….
1) Starting off with a picture of Mr Bear because I forgot to post one up last week. Naughty me! Here he is in a basket. Ah, the simple things. 2) From cats to the ACCIDENTAL SELFIE! Does this ever happen to you? You turn your iPhone camera on and it’s pointing at you and…
1) Dissertation is finished – woohoo, happy face, champagne etc! Unfortunately I discovered some silly errors after I’d handed it in but I’m trying not to let that bother me. For now, my friends, I am free! Although….please see point 2. 2) It’s out of the frying pan and into the fire – no soon…
