This is how I spent Paddy’s day… Doesn’t it look fun!? These are a few shots taken by my multi-talented pal Mr Maurice Flynn at a shoot we worked on for Designer Emma Manley. The fabulous Johnny Savage took the photos for Manley’s look book, which will be revealed soon, but I just had to show you Maurice’s backstage shots. He just has an amazing aesthetic in everything he does, there is literally nothing he can’t do!

I got back from a brilliant trip to Paris with a few of my favorite people yesterday. Maurice Flynn did hair, Danielle Fitzgerald styled the clothes, Lili Forberg took the pics and Sharon Love and Grace Connell were our muses/models… We did 2 gorgeous shoots in 48 hours and ate lots of crepes to boot!! Here are some holiday snaps taken by the incomparable Ms Lilian Forberg (as her passport calls her…) Shot to follow soon!!
Yesterday we ate pizza…

The shoot was all full length shots so you didn’t get to see the brows in all their glory… YUM! How I love brows….

Masacara Bonanza!
It’s the holy grail of makeup, the perfect mascara. Every few months a new revolutionary formula is revealed, promoted by Penelope Cruz or that alien that Christian Dior use. Millionize, maximise, impactify, with advertising techniques that hark back to the 1950s, why are we still falling for it? Unfortunately, it’s because we all love a [...]

All Hail The Eyebrow Queen
I am obsessed with eyebrows. I love good ones and I hate bad ones. I also hate to love un-obtainable ones (like my numero uno eyebrow envy Kim Kardashian) and love to hate (but actually just love) ridiculously dramatic ones. If eyes are the windows to the soul then eyebrows must be the curtains, but [...]

The Beauty Myth
In an industry based on illusion and the manipulation of our womanly insecurities, how do we separate fact from fiction? How many times have you been seduced by one of those ridiculous mascara ads? With constant developments in technology and the maturity of the marketing industry, “revolutionary” products are being pushed on us at every [...]
