New Look Black Monochrome Tile Print Kimono £19.99 Innocence Blue Zig Zag Kimono £17.99 … Continue reading LFW Looks: Turning Japanese
During London Fashion Week I had my make-up done by Maybelline. Maybelline has taken over from MAC as the official make-up sponsor, and being a big MAC fan I must say I was wary .

I’m not a Maybelline … Continue reading Beauty: Maybelline Mishaps

Last week I attended the media preview of the Barbicans new exhibition showcasing the designs of Jean Paul Gaultier. This theatrically-staged exhibition is unlike any other I have been to, bringing personality to each and every garment on display by using revolutionary projections alongside mannequins, bringing them to life. Talking faces, including one of Gaultier himself, are projected onto models so they wink, talk, and … Continue reading FASHION: From Sidewalk To Catwak
