Regular readers of my blog will know that I don’t get hugely excited about nail polish on the whole, perhaps because I rarely wear it myself. It’s hard to keep one’s nails immaculat...
By Hollie Kiernan I know very few women or girls who are not perpetually accompanied by a well-used tin of Vaseline, or a collection of battered lipsticks. Whether or not their lips are particularly ...
Fashion films are an increasingly popular way for designers to showcase their new collections. Paradise Lost is a recent film I collaborated on with a brilliant young designer called Olwen Bourke who...
A friend of mine does the cooking on a yoga retreat in Ibiza, and was recently extolling the virtues of Coconut Oil for a healthy diet, and more interestingly, for weight loss. Now I’m no scien...

Corfu is the Northernmost of the Ionian islands and a much-maligned travel destination. With some areas blighted by over-development and a reputation for package holidays and cheap drinks for some ye...
It’s always nerve-wracking trying a new hairstylist. Women often get more attached to their hairstylists than their pets or boyfriends. I know one divorcee who suffered a minor meltdown when he...
