Packing for a tropical holiday
I love packing for a trip, and my recent sojourn to Bali, Indonesia was no exception. I think I love packing so much because it allows me to feel excited and to dream in a childishly happy way, and the tangible act of preparing and packing takes me that little bit closer to the actual […]
An argument for vivacious pink lips
September 12, 2010
From The Sartorialist. This photo was taken in Florence but it reminded me of New York City and its proliferation of bright pink lips during summer – and fluoescently-hued toenails. I saw every colour toenail under the sun in NYC, most of which were competing with the sun in terms of brightness. Thinking of electrifying […]

September 7, 2010
Beauties, hello again! I am still über excited about my recent trip – to San Francisco, central California coast, Long Island (Montauk) and of course New York, New York.

Holiday Inspiration: Angela Lindvall in Cuba for Vogue UK
July 18, 2010
Three things particularly struck me regarding this editorial for the June 2010 issue of Vogue UK – the gorgeous styling, artful composition and the amazing makeup. These images do not do those icy-pole stained lips any justice; in the flesh (ie the printed magazine) they are a matte but juicy, watermelony, raspberryish, pink jellybeanish. The […]
Holiday Beauty: What’s in my makeup bag
July 17, 2010
So in preparation for my Americana debut (New York I love you already) I have shortlisted my beauty case contents and my in-flight beauty bag. Today I am thinking about makeup. In the makeup to skincare scale I am more of a skincare aficionado. I had severe acne as a teen and I think my […]
Holiday Beauty: what’s in my beauty case
