Lipo-zapping, rip-off Uggs and Parisian chic

Well, I'm back from Bali and after a sojourn in Paris I've got all sorts of style snippets to impart... Let's start with Paris, I went out to see a friend for a few days and I must say I genuinely think they are more stylish over there. Sorry English people, but there were quite a lot...

Get some winter colour on your cheeks

It’s so hectic in the run up to Christmas! I've been running from one meeting to the next. I've just seen the latest bits of all my jewellery and am making up the models so I can get a collection together. My love of jewellery goes back to my childhood; my mum always had big, chunky...

Cold feet? Maybe it's the Uggs

Winter's certainly hit us hard. I’m wearing so many layers I look like the Michlelin man! To be honest I hate the cold, all I want to do is stay in my bed, so when I do venture out I look like I’ve piled on 30 kilos I'm so wrapped up! In keeping with current trends and weather...

What is Gordon Ramsay doing?

This week I have been up to my eyes in NLP homework; this whole going back to school thing is a slight challenge, especially juggling it with buying a new house and working.  Despite a busy week, I have still managed to pop out to the odd event, including the Red Night by Marrakesh for the...

X Factor styling

As it's half term I've been falling way behind with my work and I'm finding it very hard to get anything done. So I downed tools and the kids and I ventured up to Oxford Street to have a rummage round the high street shops. We went to Topshop, Zara, New Look and River Island's flagship store to...

Whistles while you work

Wow, what a fantastic week! It was my birthday, but this year I had decided not to have a party and not do anything. However, unbeknown to me, when I came back from work, my children had cooked me a four course meal. It started with homemade tomato soup, followed by steamed chicken with grilled...

Put a statement ring on it

As I am now entering the ethical fashion world (I'm very excited about my collection for next year!), I recently did a shoot for Recognise magazine and wore this unique statement ring. I immediately fell in love with it - and priced at £60, it's affordable. For an outfit to look good you have...

Sparks, spas and shoes!

Welcome to my first ever iVillage blog! Wow, it's been a very busy week. I had a flying visit to Tarifa to shoot the latest Long Tall Sally catalogue. The ancient seaside fort is famous for kite surfing, but thankfully there wasn't  too much wind as I had to do a shot riding a beautiful...
