I'm so terribly sorry; I have been too busy cooing over my niece, Baby Edith, to even consider doing any work. She's a total distraction. Just started crawling, and Granny has been teaching her how to clap! Normal service will be resumed tomorrow, after I have...
Well this is a red-and-a-half, isn't it? OPI's Coca Cola Red from the new Coca Cola collection. What an earth Coca Cola have to do with nail polish, I have no idea, but they seem to be all over the place these days with their "Share a Coke" campaign... This week I...
Here's an interesting one; a toothpaste that promises to - quite literally - rebuild your teeth. The Regenerate toothpaste and tooth serum can - according to the blurb - regenerate tooth enamel by around 80% in just three days. An impressive claim and one that will...
I found these brilliant photos on my desktop - they were taken by Francois Durand when I was at the Cannes Festival in May. I was in the Dior suite getting ready to walk the red carpet - and if there was ever anything that was going to make you feel nervous about...
This week's nail art challenge with @NailArtistMartha was to create a look using Nails Inc's Queensgate Gardens Floral Polish. It's not a polish that I would ever pick up - it looks headache-inducingly complicated with its matte glitter and its flower pieces - but I...
The lovely @NailArtistMartha has worked her manicure wizardry again; this week I set her the task of doing something pretty with Models Own's Sticky Fingers polish in Pastel Petals Green. Not the easiest one to pull off - it's kind of an odd shade and the stickers are...
If you're looking for that all-absorbing read to see you through your summer holiday then look no further: The Truth About The Harry Quebert Affair is it. It's totally unputdownable. The twists and turns in the plot might have you banging the book against your...
A while ago I wrote about Triumph's Women in Making competition*; the chance for independent businesswomen to win a £10,000 bursary as well as mentorship from the Women in Making mentors, who this year included fashion designer Roksanda Ilincic and shoe designer...
Does anybody else find themselves weeping uncontrollably when they read or watch sad things on a plane? Something odd happens to me as soon as a plane takes off; I begin to think terrible, morbid thoughts, for a start, but then I manage to banish those from my mind...
I didn't think that I'd like the Silk Blossom scent, at first; but then I had to tell my self not to be uncharitable, because for every one of these limited edition candles Jo Malone sells, they are donating the full value* to their various charity garden projects...
OK look, I think we may have come to the end of the road with Celebrities who have hair like my Dog. We're on the tenth instalment and finding victims is getting increasingly difficult. So I thought we'd finish on a bit of a bang and move on to Celebrities with Facial...
Yep. The ninth celebrity with hair like my dog. Who'd have thought there were so many of them? It's obviously a very "in demand" kind of style. I've given you a diverse selection of shaggy-maned celebs - Owen Wilson, Richard Branson, Courtney Love - but now, as we...
