Not that Olivier Rousteing needs a high street collab to become even more relevant. Not at all, but he prodigy at the reins of Balmain is about to give the high street sexy hot – and enlisted a couple of friends to help him along the way (again, not that he needs that either!).
My plans to create a series of features on more fashionable looks started a long time ago. However, finally getting off the ground took some planning.
The aim of Dani’s Little Book of Fashion is to dissect looks into wearable chunks, that will work for the person carrying it, whatever their personal style.
Seven Dials is a very cute place in London just off Covent Garden with some amazing shops.
On the 9th May, they held a fabulous shopping event and I was really happy to be invited by the lovelies from Sister Is PR to their VIP tent, before the trends talk began, to have a (maybe some) King Bloom cocktail, a Cawston Press amazing rhubarb soft drink and Propercorn popcorn (fuelling my Vanilla & Coconut flavour addiction).
Yes, you read it right. Nude. Nails are nude. Plain and simple nude.
Initial plan was to make the nude a base for some art then I was so taken aback by how pretty this polish is I can’t even remember what art I was going to do…
Life is pretty much impossible without a face moisturiser. For me that is. And I love a multitasking product; I like to keep my makeup intact, so many layers are a no-no.
Caudalie answered all my prayers in the shape of the fantastic Polyphenol C15 Anti-wrinkle Protect SPF20 face moisturiser.

I say about time! H&M is finally stepping up their beauty game. Sara Wallander, concept designer at H&M Beauty says it will be “fashion for the face”. I salute you and look forward to that!
I always looked at H&M beauty items as a bit of a limp proposition – just to tick the box, more than anything.
So everyone talks about how painful heels are. Well, some might be a little bit – and there is a trade off as heels are just, well, awesome.
Now, no one talks about flat shoes pain. They are meant to be comfortable. Right. But I will let you in to my little secret: I found comfort on the amazing Scholl Party Feet Invisible Gel Sore Spots.
I am obsessed with eye palettes. There is something about having lots of options in one place that just makes me feel good and risking sounding a bit weird – safe.
Makeup Revolution is renowned for having an amazing (and vast) selection of eye palettes to cater to all tastes – without breaking the budget – and the Iconic Pro 2 is no different.
Timeless Beauty is indeed a very appropriate name for Dame’s Joan Collins‘s beauty line, for obvious reasons. At 81, whatever her secret is, I want a piece of it.
Of course, you all know I cannot say no to a red lipstick, so this was a clever move to get me on their side.
Olivia Palermo for Ciaté – image from Elle UK
Nail brand Ciaté’s creative director for 2015 is Olivia Palermo. That means there are some new ail polish shades coming…
Starting with the packaging, it is still Ciaté’s curves rectangle, but it has a luxury feel – a touch of gold and some pretty box.
