Autumn Favourites (Luxury and High Street)

And so here it is, the Autumn Favourites video as promised. I’ll now be doing my favourites videos seasonally, or with a theme – for example, “Haircare Favourites” or “Favourite Budget Bodycare”. The seasonal favourites videos will be a light-hearted overview of the things I think make a brilliant buy if you’re looking to update…

Chanel’s Summer Brights and A Bit of Colour-Blocking

Inspired by Chanel’s bright and cheery Neapolis makeup collection, I have been scouring the internet for things that will inject a bit of colour and life into my wardrobe, which currently consists of light grey things, dark grey things and denim. I’ll be doing a full feature on Chanel’s Spring Summer 2018 Makeup Collection – the Chanel…

For this reason, floral items must be carefully selected; prints should be striking, fabrics…

My Valentine’s Luxury Lust List…

Mr AMR would rather repeatedly stick a screwdriver into his eye sockets than do anything for Valentine’s, but I, for one, think that it’s the perfect excuse to receive a little treat. Something beautifully scented, something flirty and pink, or pale and expensive and understated. Here are my own picks for Valentine’s Day presents –…

Baby Worries, Globetrotting and a New No5

I’m doing a bit of globetrotting this week. Actually, it’s more like France-trotting, or even, if we’re getting really specific, south-of-France-trotting. I’m in Grasse until Wednesday night and then at the Cannes Film Festival on Friday and Saturday. The Grasse trip is with Chanel, who are launching a brand new No5 fragrance – huge news….

Weekly Window Shop: The Best Nude Court Shoes

Welcome to this week’s shopping obsession: nude court shoes. I need some to finish off my “key spring outfit”, which is my faux-leather Karen Millen skirt with wrap blouse/Hush cashmere/soft marl t-shirt. Nude – or beige – shoes also look incredibly chic with everything from stonewashed jeans to cocktail dresses – they are as much a wardrobe staple…

Red Shoes Two Ways

Red Shoes Two Ways

For some reason I have become fixated on finding a pair of red shoes to wear to my brother’s wedding next month. It seems an odd thing to become fixated on, I grant you, but when you spend long hours awake in the middle of the night with no adult conversation and just Google for…

A Handbag for the Organised: The L.K.Bennett Pearl

A Handbag for the Organised: The L.K.Bennett Pearl

You know you are truly in love with a bag when you open up your photo stream and there are over thirty separate pictures of it! I did laugh when I scrolled through my recent photographs to find L.K.Bennett’s Pearl tote “posed” in various locations; Pearl Tote with Watering Can, Pearl Tote on Wooden Floor, Pearl Tote on the Woodpile……
