We need to talk about BBC's drama Gold Digger, but also about a hot red lipstick. Weird mix, admittedly, but I got distracted halfway through recording my makeup video and ended up talking about Tom Hardy, morning breath and implausible storylines. Sorry about that....
I interrupt the gift guide frenzy to bring you some videos that have somehow slipped the net, here on A Model Recommends. Firstly, this house update and then - perhaps tomorrow if I get a move on - a rambling makeup try-on with a fancy new red lipstick and a chat...
Now that we've got cracking with the gift guides, I can fully take stock of just how bloody late I am with them again. The sensible person would compile them in early November and have them ready and waiting for the last weeks of the month. Not I. Here I sit,...
As far as gifts go, this one is pretty unbeatable. I don't think I've ever seen a bigger gift with purchase. It's worth about sixty billion pounds. OK, it's worth over £600. But, hello, SIX HUNDRED POUNDS! Who is mad enough to give away that much stuff in a single...
The "Ten Under £10" edition of the Weekly Window Shop was so very popular that I decided to make it a regular, standalone feature. Because who doesn't want a round-up of brilliant and affordable stuff? Ten Under £10 will concentrate mostly on beauty, but if there's a...
Not so much sickness at all, this week - it's amazing how something can take over your life so completely and then just creep away quietly so that you forget it was ever there. I'm still very tired, so I definitely feel the baby "presence" but I'm definitely far less...
I have a rather fabulous worldwide giveaway for you today. I mentioned the gorgeous new OM Skincare in a recent Space NK post - it's a results-driven brand, using complex formulas and luxurious ingredients, but it very much embraces a "mindful" approach to skincare...
This is the first "baby and body update" I've done since my pregnancy announcement, and I'm trying to remember all of the things I wanted to say but couldn't. Like, on Angelica's One Year Update: Oh my God you won't BELIEVE this but I'm pregnant again! Or on the 14...
Do you remember last year's "best parka" video? I'm partial to a bit of a parka, me - I like the casual nature of them and the fact that if you wear them with a dress they make you look a bit dishevelled and cool, like Kate Moss on the cover of iD magazine. One of the...
I'm feeling a bit better this week in that I'm not so nauseous, but I've still had two naps today so perhaps I shouldn't count my chickens, etc! My stomach is HUGE but I'm convinced that it's just a big layer of fat with some bloating underneath it. The main thing is...
I completely forgot to post up the Day In My Life videos I made; one of them follows an entire day "with baby" and the other one, to offer some contrast, is a work day. And by work, I mean working from my home office, tied to the computer and not even glancing up for...
A few weeks ago I had the absolute pleasure of visiting Paris with gorgeous French skincare brand Darphin. I've been to Paris more times than I could ever begin to count, and I think it's easy to become blasé about cities you're familiar with, no matter how beautiful...
I had an early scan. I'm feeling more confident about things now - I felt I just had to be quite brave and get it over with, it felt like a massive waste of time and energy just sitting around worrying all the time and not knowing what was going on. Watch the 9 Week...
It's not often that I look at my reflection and catch myself out, thinking, who in God's name is THAT? Actually, that's an utter lie: I catch myself out on an almost daily basis, glancing in the mirror and wondering why my own face has been exchanged for that of an...
I interrupt normal service to tell you that the leopard print bardot dress I wore in my pregnancy announcement video has been reduced to £19.50 at ASOS. They style it as a sort of off-the-shoulder number on the website; I need to wear a bra otherwise my boobs...
