Entries from August 2010

Last week on a not so sunny day in Brooklyn I had the pleasure of lunching with Lime Crime cosmetics president and CEO Doe Deere and Vice President, Mark Dumbelton at an adorable little Polish restaurant called Lomzyniaka ( a tasty destination spot for those visiting the Greenpoint/Williamsburg area of Brooklyn). Over the most delicious blueberry blintz’s I’ve ever consumed and giant home made perogies, I learned all about the avant-garde and totally fabulous Lime Crime cosmetics line. Doe and Mark originally collaborated as part of a band. Doe who was also a fashion student at NY’s prestigious F. I. T. was finding that her normal makeup wasn’t powerful enough for the stage lighting and the pay off of the product couldn’t stand up to her colourful style. And so Lime Crime cosmetics was born!
Everything from the unicorn purple glitter packaging to the full on wow colours screams fun. It’s a makeup line that doesn’t take itself too seriously. It’s quickly becoming a huge celebrity favourite. Singer MIA wore lipstick My Beautiful Rocker in one of her videos recently & Cat Deeley is a huge fan of the lipstick-Retro Futurist, a stunning bright red.
If any of you out there haven’t had the chance to check out the wild and wonderful Lime Crime cosmetics-I suggest you make a visit over to your nearest Space NK. And make sure you check-in in early November when their revolutionary eye shadow primer launches!

I didn’t realize what a big fan of jasmine I was until I went to visit Vietnam and the scent was everywhere. There was jasmine tea, bowls of jasmine flowers in the lift and on tables and actual Jasmine trees! I just couldn’t get enough of it. I was recently sent some ‘Jasmine Absolute’ Ultra Rich Organic Hand Cream by Cocoonu and I quite liked it. I’m a bit fussy about creams as I touch so many fabrics I don’t want anything greasy on my hands fortunately this cream absorbs quickly into my skin and I can’t stop smelling it!

I mainly wear dresses so tights are such a huge part of my wardrobe, and a good pair of tights can make your outfit. I’ve been a big fan of Gal Stern Tights so I’m quite happy that you can now find them at Wolf & Badger, 46 Ledbury road, Notting Hill.

I went to visit menswear designer Stefán Orschel-Read at his studio to see his new collection, and we were also casting models for his SS 2011 show. His new collection is so beautiful: he uses Sea Island cotton, dupion silk, bamboo, iridescent tonic and cashmere British tailoring wools. I can’t really say more than that, but I’m so excited about styling his show!
I really appreciate that London has a menswear day during Fashion Week. London has such an amazing history of men’s tailoring and men’s fashion that if you have a chance to see any of the shows you really should!

I went to visit the new A/W 10 collection of Uggs at their Covent Garden store. I actually didn’t expect the new collection to be so on trend. When I think of Uggs I really think of the classic Uggs but they had biker style boots, riding inspired boots and lots of great wedges!
I love these Ugg Clog Boots. They are so cosy and have sheepskin in the footbed, making the boot very comfortable, and the wooden outsole has a molded rubber bottom for traction.
