1) Mr AMR and I decided to give Homeland a go, as we’d exhausted pretty much all other TV shows on Netflix apart from the really rubbish ones. We were quickly hooked into the fast-paced story line and devoured two series in just under two weeks. Trivial fact: Jess, Nicholas Brody’s wife in the series, suddenly became…
1) Winners of the Max Factor lipsticks (limited edition! Only three five made! By me!) are: Tessa (Tbblogger), Catriona May and Grace (grace084). And because Max Factor sent me a grand total of FIVE Cherry on the Top lipsticks, I am happy to announce that there are two bonus winners, Emma Bradford (emma_loub) and “debzcm911”! You should all…
1) My YSL Fusion Foundation (above) looks as though it’s had loads of tiny foundation babies! Fusion is the latest launch from YSL; it’s a very lightweight base that promises 24hr hold and YSL have 7-day samples of this at all of their counters nationwide. I assume that’s “while stocks last” so make sure you pop in and get…
1) Interesting. A fragrance beautifying cream. l’Occitane designed this cream to be used in conjunction with their Collection de Grasse fragrance range (my favourite one is the heady, summery Néroli & Orchidée, see Friday’s post) to intensify the notes and and help them last for longer. Probably not a beauty priority, if we’re honest, but I like the idea! It does…
1) Another bank holiday! April and May are just brilliant for totally unexpected little days off, aren’t they? To be absolutely frank, I’m just happy to be in my own house for more than two days in a row, even if the weather is miserable. What a hectic few weeks – I’m actually looking forward to…
I am away on a secret international tour of mystery. In my absence, the cat and dog are taking care of business. You can ask them any questions or tap them up for grooming advice over on Instagram. Sorry about the Celebrities with Expressions like my Cat feature – it was due to start yesterday, but I…
1) Happy Easter! I hope that you’re all having a wonderful long weekend? If you are in London and looking for something to occupy an hour or two, then do pop down to the Jean Paul Gaultier exhibition at the Barbican. I went last week and it was great – very colourful and bizarre, as is only…
1) Bargain buy of the week? A(nother) pair of Cecilia pumps from Office. They were in the sale and it would have been rude not to – my first two pairs of Cecilia ballerinas are so comfy and I wear them all the time, they have been excellent value for money. The new ones are slightly different to my…
1) I don’t know how this fact has escaped me, being the relentless online shopper that I am: Net-a-Porter have a beauty section! Brands include the amazing Charlotte Tilbury, By Terry, and the most recent addition, Burberry. I have to admit to being rather worried about this new discovery; Net-a-Porter and I already have a…
1) Thank you for your marvellous suggestions on yesterday’s “Celebrities who have hair like my Dog” post. Meg Ryan is already in the planned line-up and there are also a couple of quite brilliant surprise suggestions from Mr AMR; hopefully I’ll be able to squeeze about ten or maybe even fifteen posts out of this…
Fashion website Motilo* have a competition running, if you fancy winning yourself a £100 shopping spree. Every week they are presenting a different style challenge, asking people to solve the age-old dilemma of “what to wear” and this week’s dilemma is: how the bloody heck are you supposed to wear pastels? Without looking like a)…
If you follow me on Twitter you’ll have seen me announce the arrival of Mr Bear. He’s my new kitten. A British Shorthair. I adopted him from a wonderful lady in Devon and he is now thirteen weeks old. He’s absolutely mental – he spends half the time trying to climb impossible surfaces and the…
