Thank you nailgirls!

Yum - this fabulous biscuit is from the lovely nailgirl founders Jo and Lynn! My nails will be painted in the nailgirls shade Blue – a rich metallic navy – all over Christmas.

You can never have too many fragrances - right?

Some say my perfume collection is getting out of hand. Well what do you expect for over 15 years worth of collecting?! Now I just need to find space for the remaining box full which I am still yet to unpack...

John Galliano Laduree macaroons

Yum! To help celebrate his new John Galliano Parlez-moi d’Amour fragrance I was very lucky to receive these designer macaroons. Forget the diet - these macaroons were unsurprisingly yummy.

Diptyque's 30th Anniversary launch

Diptyque are launching a new fragrance to celebrate their 50th anniversary called 34 Boulevard St Germain - after the address of the original Diptyque boutique in Paris. It will launch in March 2011 and its quite simply, stunning. Check out this amazing display at the launch. The candles and room sprays are set to be a huge hit too.

Jo Malone tea-time

Jo Malone's latest limited edition collection is out next spring and takes inspiration from tea. For the celebration of the launch we were treated to a scrummy afternoon tea in Mayfair...
Jo Malone fans will love the new scents which you can mix with a new lemon or milk accord!

Christmas tree bottles

This is the wonderful Neal's Yard Christmas tree, set up for their pre-Christmas press event. It was so pretty...

Love-ly new scent

Just in time for Valentines Day is Vera Wang's latest fragrance - Anniversary. It's beautiful with its delicate floral notes and pretty lilac bottle. Not usually a fan of floral fragrances, I was instantly a fan of this. The mood board at the launch was divine covered in flowers, pearls, pink material samples and wedding photos. Romance certainly isn't dead...

Lancôme’s new spring 2011 collection

This morning I was lucky enough to meet Lancôme’s global artistic director Aaron De May. Born in New Zealand and having moved to New York to work, Aaron is one of the most passionate most experienced make-up artists I’ve ever met. Lancôme’s new spring collection contains glittery highly pigmented pressed powder shadows, a rich dirty lilac coloured Hypnose mascara, soft shades of rose lipstick and Aarons new favourite, the Dewy Glow Base which is a delicate mist (containing essentials oils and which smells like a spa) that you spray onto cleansed skin to prime and over make-up to set. Genius.

Cake and beauty combine...

Mama Mio and Primrose Bakery have joined forces to support Breast Cancer Awareness Month which runs for the whole of October. Mama Mio will donate £1 from every one of these cup cakes sold to the Look Good...Feel Better charity. There has never been a better reason or time to buy cake - lots of cake.

The return of my sweet tooth!

Check out the Monday pick-me-up from The Sanctuary spa...yum yum (oh how I LOVE Hummingbird Bakery cupcakes). I thought my sweet tooth had well and truly disappeared this last week but these little babies put it back on track. What a relief!

Simple pleasures

A classic fragrance that has taken on a new floral twist, Estée Lauder’s Pleasures Bloom will be available on the 30th August 2010. The flowers brought the fragrance to life and gave me something to photograph. And let’s face it, those of you that know me, know that I can never pass up a flower photo opportunity.

Nail art is officially still cool!

Alexa Chung sports WAH Nails are the Mulberry Pool Party in LA and I have fun with the Nubar nail art pens...this is work by the way!

Pretty...

Perfume bottles shot on my light box at home. The perfect way to spend a dull, rainy Sunday afternoon.
