I am like a caricature of myself. Like a mask. For me, the carnival of Venice lasts all year”. Karl Lagarfeld Chanel’s Mademoiselle Privé exhibition at London’s Saatchi Gallery was a visual feast. Yes, I mean the exhibition but I also mean the spectacle and crowds that were literally thronging the entrance. With free entry […]
Be the best you can be
I love magazines and how much time, effort and planning goes into every edition of a publication. Staff writers, editors, designers, stylists and sub-editors all pull together to produce publications that push boundaries and create something that will captivate and engage readers. This is why I jumped at the chance to speak to Rosie Mullender, Content Director at […]
Exuviance Gentle Cleansing Creme
I love make-up but the downside is the amount of cleansers and make-up removers that you spend money on that just don’t do the job properly. You can be left with irritated skin or with a product that isn’t effective enough to remove strong mascara or eye-liner. Hello evening panda eyes! While the autumn is […]
Be slap happy!
How many years have you been putting make-up on your face? Ten, fifteen, twenty…? How many bad habits have you picked up without even realising? You don’t even want to think about it right? I’m really interested in skincare and beauty and I’m guilty of impulse purchases and also guilty of cutting corners in my make-up routine when […]
Top trunks
Next time you think about adding some home wares or furniture to your flat, my top tip is instead of making a mad-dash to Ikea (although I will never hear a bad word said about this affordable home ware wonderland), look closer to home. London is literally bursting at the seams with affordable, good quality […]
Put pencil to paper
If you have a few hours free over a weekend, I highly recommend a life drawing class! We had booked it as a birthday surprise for one my oldest friends and we had such fun. It was so nice to have time to sit and spend time creating something from nothing! The life models were […]
Hi, I’m Emily and I’m addicted to leopard print
Well, they say that admitting you have a problem is the first step right? Anyone who knows me, will know that I have a bit of a thing for leopard print. Hands up, guilty as charged, I love it! I know it can have connotations with Bet Lynch from Coronation street if worn the wrong […]
The power of the human spirit: Katie Piper
I heard Katie Piper speak at Stylist Live today. It was a 60 minute talk that has left an indelible mark on me. I took away so much from hearing about Katie’s incredible story of survival and hope and I look forward to sitting down and writing a longer post over the next few days. For […]
Go explore!
One of my favourite things about living in London is Sunday afternoon wanderings. When the sun shines, it’s even better and that’s exactly what happened today! Finsbury Park, Highbury and Green Lanes have so many hidden gems when it comes to coffee shops, restaurants and antiques and homewares stores. You’re literally spoilt for choice. The […]
Top tips for Shorditch and Brick Lane
I love getting out of the tube at Liverpool Street Station and having to weave my way through throngs of people to get to the escalators. It can be quite a gauntlet to run but trust me, once you get above ground it’s so worth it! One of the best ways to see this area […]
