ARE YOU A MOM?

Not yet but I'm hoping this side of the London Olympics...That's 2012 for those of you that don't know ;)

WHAT’S YOUR BAG?

I like a big enough bag to stuff full of everything I could possibly need on the go including my entire makeup bag, laptop, blackberry, diary, notepad, brolly for the unpredictable London weather and a spare pair of flats! Having said that it's not all about practicality, I love quirky and classic designs that last like Vivienne Westwood's Ebury or anything Lara Bohinc or Anya Hindmarch.

In the electrical stakes, my TRIA has overtaken my GHD hair straighteners for pride of place on my dressing table! Think about how much you spend on waxing each year and if you are anything like me, within 18 months you will have made your money back on the this gadget. … read more »
