Clothes from ASOS Black collection for Christmas; Last photo: Holding Paul & Joe Nail Polish (001) & Gold nail wrap by Nail Rock I was so smitten with my gold nails by Nail Rock that the manicurist (Mike!) applied for me at the ASOS Christmas Bar the other day, I was doing spirit fingers on the bus all the way coming home. If only I’d known I’d have to peel them off one by one like fresh bandaids after the mistake of displaying fingers to le boyfriend. He whined ‘They remind me of Russian grannies gold teeth, take them ooooooooff’ so I stuck all ten of the pieces on the refridgerator. GRANNY GOLD TEETH GRANTS NO ENTRY TO FRIDGE. Thank you Jen for inviting me down, brilliant idea with the pick & mix for beauty samples! Edit: Animal magnets arranged by le boyfriend, sadly he has all power over fridge…

H! by Henry Holland for Debenhams AW10 Preview Half-arsed fashion blogger: Hi, I went to H! for Debenhams collection preview two weeks ago and met Henry Holland, it was like so nice! Look at my new shoes! Like, you can’t see them but they’re lovely!  Food blogger: The canapés perfectly entertained my taste buds and the orange juice was most definitely high-end – ‘with pulp’. Very impressed it did not leave dregs at the bottom of the glass. Celebrity blogger: Henry Holland oMG he was sipping Lemsip while infecting everyone in the room with his ‘fashion flu’, talk about an exclusive goodie-bag! Tech blogger: There was a PC in the corner.

Leaving the building, I had a strong urge to give Debenhams a bit of [...]

Photos taken at ASOS AW10 Press Day; 2,3,4 – ASOS White; 5 – ASOS Africa; 6 – ASOS Green Room; I always let press day photos simmer in the pot for a good few days because I like my PR pasta rich in flavour – meaning I will necessarily keep those kind souls who invited me waiting for the coverage just so I might be in the back of their heads for at least a few days. It’s not really a PR strategy, rather a glorified justification for laziness, but it sure sounds like a convincing bulletpoint in PR for Dummies, doesn’t it? So you’re assuming this ASOS pressday was about a week ago, and it was evil me who’s put lovely Susie on hold and gone for a shower and a new life. Well internet, this actually happened in April – that’s right, 4 months ago. The fact of [...]

Bra set courtesy of B by Ted Baker for Debenhams Can the boys go out and play with lawn sprinkler while the women talk about body lumps? Thanks! Ladies, I’ve had a life-changing experience today. No, I didn’t go to Seven Sisters again with rotten eggs; I was invited to view the B by Ted Baker lingerie range in Debenhams and to have a bra fitting. My history of ‘bra fitting’ had been allowing shop assistants eyeball my chest and be given a bra that mysteriously didn’t fit so well. Naturally I thought it was the bra, because eyeballing is such a scientifically-proven effective way of measurement, no? Turns out that all my bras were two sizes bigger and one cup smaller than my actual size. So basically my entire adult life (avec boobs) I’ve had some cotton/polyester contraption around the chest that was sort of relevant to its function. But now [...]
