28th November 2011
(Please excuse my nails…They get a tad neglected from time to time)   Right so, I AM NOT A BEAUTY BLOGGER, but I could not help showing you my nails today. My e-chum Sarah from BurnTheBlonde did a recent post on Matte nail polish and I fell instantly in love. I remember being stood outside of Selfridges on Duke St one afternoon and this man pulling up in his Uber suave Matte black Aston martin Vantage and thinking he must be a pretty slick dude to have got that paint job…Now I cannot afford an Aston let alone change the paint work on one, but I could just about stretch to £4.95 for this Rimmel Matte Topcoat and by stretch I mean I was that twat counting out my 5p’s at the till but I made up some lame excuse to the sales assistant that I’d merely forgotten my bank card, I mean who carries cash these days anyway unless you’re Mario Balotelli. I painted the top coat over my Chanel Black Satin nail polish and one coat was enough to take it from shiney and gorgeous to smooth and seductive. This is definitely my choice of nail fashion for this season.

Ad Embarking on a journey of timeless treasures, my passion for antiquing began in the warmth of late summer 2019. When I discovered my father’s old boarding school tuck trunk nestled in the attic of their home. Since then, my weekends have unfolded like chapters in a novel, meandering through antiques emporiums and brocantes across the country.

Each trip unveils a tapestry of tales from bygone eras - from weathered pickling jars and vases to opulent French chandeliers and steamer trunks, and with each trip, I was captivated by the hidden secrets and untold histories woven into each artefact.

Introducing ‘Scented Mementos’ - an enchanting limited edition collection by @jomalonelondon Each fragrance, a symphony of memories, encapsulates the essence of cherished moments. Immerse yourself in the zesty allure of Emerald Thyme, or indulge in the spicy nostalgia of Ginger Beer, where notes of ginger, roasted oak, and cinnamon intertwine to evoke memories of British antiques markets.
where every scent is a love letter to the past, a fragrant homage to the beauty of antiquity. #ScentsOfBritain #JoMaloneLondon Paid partnership

Everything feels a little more optimistic as March begins don’t you think?
It’s the start of spring in my book Evergreen shortly followed by the spring equinox so there’s ample time to prepare, nest and refresh. 
The light returns, hello March 🌱
There’s no such thing as bad weather, only bad weather attire 💧
A little indulgence from my comfort of my own home thanks to INCREDIBLE @kmp_skin and @freshbeauty Ad 
for the launch of the new Lotus Youth Preserve Resurfacing dream serum which is a gentle AHA serum with prickly pear flower extract said to boost radiance and it was so lovely to be treated to a first trial to get a very first impression of the serum thanks to KMP and her magic hands. I’ve literally never had a facial like it!
