Review:The Braid Bar

Just before I headed off to New York, I was in Selfridges, in London, where I stumbled across the #selfridgesxworkit events which were a lot of fun. I had a makeover at the Tom Ford counter which was amazing, I really wanted to blow my holiday money there and then and buy everything (I didn't by the way), but because I'd had a makeover I was rewarded with a free lunch from Eat! Yay! Just as exciting, was the discovery of The Braid Bar. This is why I love Selfridges, so many fun things under one roof, they even have a cinema!

Preview: House of Fraser 2015 Autumn/Winter Homeware Collection

You may have seen that I recently attended the House of Fraser Press Day event which showcased the forthcoming 2015 Autumn/Winter collections. I wrote a feature post on the fashion collection here and today I'll be showing you a preview of all the beautiful Homewear items which will be available in stores from late August.

Review: Ciaté Olivia Palermo Nail Polish Collection - Nantucket

I don't mind admitting that I have a bit of a style crush on Olivia Palermo. I love how she always looks so effortlessly chic & her balayage formed the inspiration for my recent more natural looking balayage update. So when I heard the news earlier in the year, that Olivia Palermo was going to be Ciaté guest Creative Director for 2015, I knew something pretty stylish would be coming our way & the teaser glimpses on Instagram didn't disappoint. 

Brighton in the Sunshine

Last week I spent a lot of my time looking at the summer sunshine through the window from my desk at work and with a big sigh, looking forward to the chance to be outside enjoying the sunshine at the weekend. So when the idea of heading to Brighton was mentioned I was online booking the train tickets in a flash.

Today I'm Wearing

This is one of my favourite new Summer looks, I love everything about it and it's just so comfy. This outfit is a little Wimbledon inspired and if I was lucky enough to have tickets to Centre Court, this would be my outfit of choice (last time I had Centre Court tickets, I'd camped out overnight and I definitely didn't look as together as this).

Review: YSL Les Sahariennes Blur Bronzer - 06 Sienna

I'd heard a lot about the much hyped YSL Blur Perfector so when I found myself in John Lewis, who were running a 10% off Beauty promotion, I headed over to the YSL counter to have a look. While I was in two minds about the Blur Perfector itself, I discovered YSL's gorgeous Les Sahariennes Bronzers which combines the blur perfector with bronzer and was perfect for what I actually needed. 

Charlotte Tilbury - Norman Parkinson Collection

Charlotte Tilbury's eagerly anticipated Norman Parkinson Collection launched on her website last Friday and I have to admit, from 7am that day I was constantly refreshing the screen to make sure I didn't miss it, as I knew there'd be a rush on demand. Luckily my somewhat obsessive methods paid off and I bagged myself the Matte Revolution 1975 red lipstick and the Colour of Youth healthy, happy lip and cheek glow.
