This is the definitive cool girl off-duty uniform for the weekend: ankle boots, parka and trilby. For me, weekend dressing is all based around my skinny jeans and ankle boots: practical, cool and easy. The rest sort of falls into place around this, whether a loose-fitting blouse, or an over-sized jumper, my main mission at the weekend is comfort.

Audrey Hepburn is the perfect example of simple and chic dressing without too much fuss. It’s the ideal formula for those days when you’re running late, or are having one of those moments when you stand in front of your over-packed wardrobe and think I-have-nothing-to-wear! We all have a variation of this look in our wardrobes – it’s just a case of reminding ourselves on those mornings before we start to panic:

If you’re looking for some inspiration for your hair for the festive party season, you’ve come to the right place. This post is dedicated to up dos of different descriptions.

The smoky eye is perhaps one of the most enduring and iconic make-up looks. It has endured throughout the decades and is still one of the most popular make-up looks to grace the catwalks at Fashion Weeks year after year.

The classic smoky eye look is heavy and created with black and grey shadows and liner. But it needn’t be the only smoky eye look you ever try.

For day-time, and particularly the office, the classic look is perhaps a little too much, so why not go for a more youthful approach and choose browns to create a similar effect. I do this for work most days:

I’m not going to profess to be any sort of an expert on skin care but I thought I’d share with you my own night-time facial skin care routine. I’m pretty lazy when it comes to most things and if there is an easy or quick way to do something, I’ll generally take that option. My approach to skin care is pretty much the same.
