Barbour for women



I bought this jacket from asos in January and haven't stopped wearing it since. The barbour seems to be everywhere for men, yet asos are one of the only retailers selling a women's version. I love the navy blue quilting, against the brown cord trim. I've just checked the website and they've now brought out a chocolate brown shade.

Mulberry Alexa



I wasn't that enamoured with the Mulberry Alexa when it was first released- I was sticking with my classic black croc Bayswater- but having seen it being toted by virtually every fashion editor going- I am converted. I want one. Badly.

A Positive View- Cultural outing

Loved 'A Positive View ' exhibiton at Somerset House. Inspiring photography from the greats- Mario Testino, Nick Knight- along with amateur shots from around the world. Loved the Fashion images- like this one of Kate Moss- Excuse the flash.

'These streets make me feel brand new...' N.Y.C.



These are a few delights from my recent trip to N.Y.C. Shot of nails post ridiculously cheap manicure on Fashion Avenue (me- blue varnish), my perfect Magnolia Bakery lavender choc cupcake before it was devoured by moi... All in all, A GREAT TRIP. Although I am still mourning the loss of my camera, lost whilst in situ- I may have been soaking up the nightlife in Brooklyn at the time- so these shots are a friends.

Liberty + MAC



MAC have teamed up with Liberty of London to produce a limited
edition make-up range- Give me Liberty- the glossy white packaging featuring the eponymous liberty
prints. Due to launch on April 1. The range features MAC lip glass, lipstick, eyeshadow, powder blush, beauty powder and nail lacquer. Two Liberty print make-up bags and a scarf will also be released.
This may seem like an unlikely pairing- the classic label and the modern, studio make-up brand- yet the contrast works to produce a stunning looking collection.
I am a self-confessed product junkie and all-time lover of all things Liberty- so I can't wait to sample the range.

Pastel nail colours


This essie nail colour in 'looking for love' is the perfect lilac hue. However, annoyingly it does take at least three coats to achieve this perfect colour. Long-lasting and dries quickly though.
Also, just purchased some gorgeous pastel coloured varnishes from a new collection by N0 17 at Boots, surprisingly. Mint choc chip- a pale blue is bang on trend as is Sherbet lemon.
