Hayley Caine lives in Crystal Palace and is one of my new favourite people. Such a beautiful person and a has lovely aura to go with it. Check out what Lucy and Graeme did when they got their mits on her... I think you'll agree she's a cutie...

Peace up, A town down.

These nails are courtesy of nailgirls with their vibrant Pink #20 from their summer collection and then finished with a tip of zebra print from nail transfer brand nailease.

Try it yourself! nailgirls colours are available from their Islington spa or online and are £10.50. Nailease are only a fiver from your local Boots and have zero drying time. Absolutely perfect for this look!

Go go go!

...all you need is a little mascara and the Smashbox Limitless Lip Stain & Colour Seal Balm in Guava. Perfect summer look. If you go for waterproof mascara, it will be pretty pool proof too! I love Smashbox. They don't shout about it, but all their products are vegan too, so all you animal enthusiasts out there - get on it!

Smashbox is exclusive to Debenhams, and the lip stains will be released in June.

I'm going to be in an advert! I can officially confirm! But what for I could not possibly tell! All I can do is let you know that I had a lovely morning in a beautiful house in Highbury, with Lucy Wearing doing my make up (OBVIOUSLY) and the 32 guys (Will & Dylan) from Pulse Films telling me what to do. It's was brilliant.

Now all you have to do is spot the advert, and comment back when you've seen it. Yeah? Yeah.

I'm telling you all I can't get enough of Jurlique. My three summer/festival must haves are the brand new Moisturising Hand Sanitiser, which is completely natural but will still kill 98% of bacteria in thirty seconds. Anti-bac gel is a festival must have. I think I would always rather bathe in the stuff than brave the showers! 

Seconds up, you have to have the Lavender Hydrating Mist on your person at all times. If this heat is going to continue (as it always does here in ol Blighty) the cooling Lavender will rehydrate and refresh you in an instant, as well as being an excellent way to revive tired and dry make up after a long day. Trust me, if you are starting to look a little separated, this will bring your make up back to life.

Last but by no means least, you MUST try the Rose Silk Finishing Powder. It holds make up on all day and has a gorgeous rose sent. I simply adore this product, it makes me feel a little like my grandmother dusting rosie, chalk smells all over my face. It comes in Citrus and Lavender too, but Rose is my favourite.

Before festival season hits, run, run I tell you as fast as you can to Space NK and get your Jurlique fix. In fact at Space NK at the moment if you sign up to their points card you will get a lovely little make up travel bag free... Just pop in your new Jurlique goodies, a waterproof mascara and your summer make up bag is sorted.

Ciao for now.

 

Hello all, I'm all a bit sick today, and decided to cure my boredom with a spot of blogging. Perhaps the burst of writing could will my throat to get better! I thought I would blog about a couple of exciting ventures/things/products going on in and around my life...

The Studio in the Palace is a lovely new space in South London set up by two of my favourite people, Lucy & Graeme. Lucy I'm sure you will all know from all my previous blogging as my tutor, teacher, boss, sister (although by different fathers), artist, soul mate etc and Graeme is her irish boy who is an excellent musician, photographer and and amazing graphic designer (he produces all the imagery behind their creative ventures).

In fact, Graeme! You owe me a watercolour! You said I could have one!

Anyway, aside from all their work and music making in The Lovebirds and The Life, The Love and The Grateful (look em up) they now have a lovely studio boasting a very competitive rate and a discount for students! Not only that but it's beautiful and so lovingly hand made. They have all the equipment you need so get down there and get shooting!

In other news, my boyfriend Ed Macfarlane is in a band called Friendly Fires. Their new album is coming out on the 16th May and you can hear a preview of the track 'Live Those Days Tonight' here on youtube : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ArfRdgi8BlE

I'm so pleased for Ed that the difficult writing work is over and Pala can finally be heard by his fans. It feels like it has been a long, hard, slog but I'm sure it's worth it! I hopefully get to hear the album on Thursday, but the little bits I have sampled before have been fantastic and are a clear progression from the first record. 

Here is a picture of him kissing one of the Sphynx statues in LMNT restaurant in Daston...

Love love love. Will blog the results. Ttfn.

I'm going out darling. In 1927. Hand me the absinthe.

On Sunday the 19th June (MAN ALIVE LESS THAN 3 MONTHS) I will be somewhat cycling to Brighton in aid of the British Heart Foundation. Heart Disease is the UK's biggest killer, so you best bloody sponser me, or be at the finish with an ice cold alcoholic beverage. Thanks!
