I’m having a lazy day on A Model Recommends today, because yesterday I inadvertently posted three things instead of the one that I was planning to. So yesterday, you lucky lot got yesterday’s, today’s and tomorrow’s. Today’s post is now a mish-mash of chit-chat and general news. Yesterday I had a brilliant day shooting an…
I had been saving this little beauty for when the weather turned very, very cold – and then the weather did turn very, very cold but I didn’t have enough time to do a write-up. Christmas Gift Guides took over my life. Now that life is vaguely back to normal (except that I’m writing this…
Take a good look at the picture above. What you see before you is a set of instructions. A set of instructions, Dear Readers, telling me how to get to a room on the second floor of a building. Now excuse me if I sound a little ungrateful here, but WHO AN EARTH NEEDS INSTRUCTIONS…
Another video (the second of three) recorded at the Hudson Hotel in NYC. I think this might be the video that manages to discourage any potential Hudson-stayer, because (as you will no doubt hear) it was the noisiest hotel that I have ever stayed in. And I’ve stayed in a lot. Oh well, ho-hum. I…
I filmed the video for this post way back in early November and then promptly forgot about it. That does happen sometimes, especially if I’ve been doing a lot of filming at once, but I can’t actually quite believe that I forgot to publish this one, because it took me ages to make. The video…
I have a bit of a thing for Tom Ford. Not for the man himself, as in “I like to break in to his house and watch him sleep”, but for what he does. For his very definite sense of style and design that runs not only through his fashion designs, but into his advertising…
Back to catching up with my trip to New York; this is what I took with me for my flight. Ah yes, the flight – BA0185, London Heathrow to Newark, New Jersey. That one was traumatic; it was too windy to land at Newark, so we did an emergency landing at Boston. Is Boston near…
Kicking off the New Year with a product that’s natural, effective and affordable. Can you tell how pleased I am with myself? This is the first product that I’ve tried from Living Nature and I’m really very impressed by it. The formula is absolutely packed full of moisturising ingredients such as Shea butter, Manuka Honey,…
Thoughts on resolutions anyone? I can’t actually move my body at present, due to a little ‘overexcitement’ last-night-stroke-this-morning. So perhaps my first one will be ‘know when to stop drinking.’ My second is to swear less – not in general, just in inappropriate situations, such as meetings and dinners. Sometimes I wonder whether I might…
I feel bad, because you’ll probably not have a beauty review tomorrow – no doubt I will bang something or other out on the keyboard, but it’s doubtful whether it will be coherent or interesting. So here; I’ve done a post in advance. It’s tomorrow’s but it’s today. Happy New Year! I have been using…
Well. Here we are, on the very last day of 2010. Are we all doing lovely, exciting things tonight? I am off to a dinner party and I’m taking the cheese course. I popped to La Fromagerie in Marylebone yesterday to pick some up and came away with my own bodyweight in Gouda, as well…
In early November I had to clear out my bathroom so that work on it could commence (I’m having a super-duper ultra-designer ridiculously-luxurious bathroom fitted for which I have had to sell a kidney and one of my knee-joints) and whilst I was doing my clearing-out, I made some haircare videos. I then promptly forgot…
I popped into C.O. Bigelow whilst in New York – not for anything in particular, I was just trying to escape the bitter cold. I think that the staff knew that, because they followed me about until finally I felt compelled to leave. But not before I managed to take a good few covert pictures!…
Grand Soho Nails is in South Village, New York City, on Sullivan Street between Prince and Spring. Now I know that it’s a bit of a stretch to be discussing a nail bar in Soho, New York when I spend most of my time in London, but this isn’t just about Grand Soho Nails, it’s…
Excuse the cryptic title, please – all will become clear in good time. How are you all? Did you have a wonderful Christmas? Eat too much? Drink too much? I do hope so! I’m taking this opportunity, this ‘lull’ before the new year, to write about all of the things that have been happening recently…
I have been testing out the new skincare range from Naked, and I think that it’s great! I love the fact that Naked is affordable, easily available (Boots!) and is so much more luxurious than you would ever expect. The smell of the Orange Blossom Body Wash (one of my favourite products this year!) is…
Happy Boxing Day! Did you all have a lovely Christmas Day? Stuffed full of food and drink? I hope so! A nice and jolly beauty post for you today! That’s why there are so many exclamation marks! How ridiculously fun and cheerful is Deborah Lippmann’s polish, “Happy Birthday”? It’s a clear varnish packed full of…
Merry Christmas Everyone! I sincerely hope that you’re having a fantastic day – it’s quite possible that nobody will be around to watch this little message, but I hope that a few of you will catch it when you have some down-time. It’s a little token of my appreciation of you all, although a rather…
