High and low is important in all aspects of a happy life.  Food - McDonalds and Foie Gras.  Fashion - High Street and High End.  Culture - The latest comic book conversation and reading the classics, and it is just as true in beauty products.
Some products I think are worth splurging on, using sparingly and treating as the luxury they are. For me, the most expensive products I buy are my scent from Caron and my face wash from Eve Lom. Both I have been using for many years and I continue to love and savour them without a thought of a straying unfaithful eye - which is after all the mark of a product which is giving you everything you need.  I also love luxury nail varnishes, Chanel for classic colours and Seche Vite for topcoat.  However I also enjoy trend nails (more so than trend clothes), these are often here for a season and gone, so it seems wasteful to spend too much money on them. Instead I turn to Barry M, great for on trend colours and glitters.  Recently I picked up these two glitters, they look so pretty over a nude or pale pink like this Chanel Ballerina.  Why not treat yourself this week?!  Whats your beauty bargain?

Day 5 NYFW AW2013


CollaborationsFashion WeekNYFW
The last day in New York didn’t go very well for me. If you are an ardent follower of street style, you will have seen that I wore flats every day of London Fashion Week. This was because on the last day of NYFW I managed to sprain my ankle. These pictures were before it happened, so things were still sunny and lovely. However later when I had to try to carry luggage and walk through the endless Heathrow corridors with a sprained ankle things weren’t as great. So when I load up the looks from LFW thats why flats were so mayor!  Besides the ankle incident, I had a great day at the Michael Kors Show and sitting front row next to the lovely Eleonora and Chiara atPhilosophy.

Day 4 NYFW AW2013


Fashion WeekNYFW

After all the cold and snow in NYC it was fabulous when the weather took a turn for the better and it was sunny and bright. I’m afraid I had to give my amazing new Celine bag some special air time today. I have been looking for this exact piece in London for months and months with no luck.  Then it occurred to me in New York to give Celine a call there and see if I was in luck. I was! I fell desperately in love with this bag in my imagination, so when it was there in real life I was besides myself. I just love it. I hope you feel the same.
