He's back! Yes, your favourite four-legged furry friend, Mr Bear the cat, has returned to Maison AMR. He's currently lying in his travel cage, for some unknown reason (probably to get some peace and quiet) but has generally settled back in very well. I was worried...
Strike Two: my second illness of the season. First I had Mastitis, then yesterday I picked up a funny little tummy bug. It seems to have gone now, but it was terribly intense while it lasted! (I reckon it was the sausages I ate on Friday night, personally, but Mr AMR...
I know that this lipstick has been Instagrammed to death recently, but it is a bit of a gem. The YSL Kiss & Love lipstick in Le Orange is the most brilliantly bright shade for winter and the bullet is embossed with lip motifs. So you might not even want to use it,...
This week has been mostly dominated by my naughty left breast, which decided to go and get Mastitis. I particularly enjoyed the flu-like symptoms, which were a bit like the world's worst hangover combined with having a lobotomy sans anaesthetic. Anyway, I'm thankfully...
I had the pleasure of going to a private viewing at Madame Tussaud's last week - Zoe and Alfie of Youtube fame had been immortalised in wax and it was the first unveiling. Unfortunately, I was so busy pulling weird faces at statues that I forgot to take a proper...
Oh my God, this must be the world's longest house-moving-in session! Mainly because Mr AMR doesn't want to touch or "ruin" anything so we have to bring boxes in gradually, unpacking and sorting as we go. So far we've managed to do about half a kitchen and "arrange"...
I'm writing this post a few days in advance because - DRUMROLL! - this weekend I should be moving back into my house! I say should - who knows what might happen between now (Thursday) and the weekend. But the carpets have been laid, the water and electricity are back...
I am so ridiculously tired this week. I won't bore you with all of the details. But suffice to say that when I had an important event to attend on Thursday, I couldn't even entertain the idea of standing in heels all day. For a start, I hadn't worn high shoes in many,...
This week I have mainly been treating myself to things in an attempt to scrub up my appearance and look vaguely normal. For months I have been slobbing about in the same pair of trainers (or my one pair of available flip flops, if it's hot) and I have been wearing the...
It has taken me thirty-four years to come to the realisation that I am, fundamentally, a really messy person. I spend a colossal amount of time trying to sort things, but my space is never tidy. It doesn't matter how many rooms I have to work with, I simply spread out...
1) My friend Lauren has one of the most stylish houses I've ever been to. She seems to have a great eye for creating interiors that are both fashionable and homely at the same time - half Country Living and half White Cube art gallery. Very clever. Anyway, I visited...
1) This is how I roll, at the moment: working from a tiny laptop, because I'm living at my parents' and don't have my big computer; baby permanently feeding, so I have to type with one finger on whichever hand is free; cat in a box in front of me, watching my every...
