We go wild for bluebells…



It may look like something from a fairytale but these the first images of the new Bluebell collection from Jo Malone. Sweet, wearable and with touches of fresh citrus this collection is quite simply…divine. If you liked Pear and Freesia you will love these.

It launches in September – keep a look out.

French tips the easy, easy way!






False nails and acrylic tips are really not my thing, I’m more into short nails and bright colours but this clever invention from Elegant Touch has really made my day! It’s probably the easiest way to apply pretty, French Manicure-style white tips.

Here’s what you do
1 – apply glue to the white strip on the plastic nail
2 – place white strip over the tip of your natural nail and hold while it sets
3 – gently pull the plastic cover off revealing your new white tip
4 – file down if you need to
5 – and ta-da! Apply the 2 top coats included and you’re done! You can add a thin layer of pink too if you want to soften the look.

I think they are ideal for weddings and race days as they are so quick…. simply remove with acetone nail polish.

£14.95, for 3 sets of nails, 20 June Superdrug.

Hummina, hummina!


During lunch with Coty (In Nobu - amaze!) they revealed the new David Beckham advert for this latest fragrance, Homme. Out on the 28 July it’s a spicy scent with notes of leather, pepper, pine and citrus - but let's face I’m really just looking forward to seeing more of this pretty picture splashed about!

Hot or what?!
