Bubblewrap Your Contours 05/20/2019 I have never been much of an eye cream user. I get terribly excited about all kinds of newness, and then end up not sticking to the routine of actually applying the thing every day. My tired eye contours are probably paying the price for this neglect, yet in my thus far life I think I've only ever fully finished one tube of eye cream, and they do pack small, so there we are. This possibly says more about how fickle I am about products than about my commitment to my wrinkles, but anyway.

Not Sweet, Alabama 05/17/2019 This week, I had the best and the worst of the land of the free and home of the brave. New York City, the centre of the universe, offered personal refuge in a liberal, literate La La Land where life is fast and exhausting, but possibility lurks around every corner and living can also be a shiny, spectacular and over the top dream. With lots of long hair. Then Wednesday came and burst the bubble that I had firmly established in the SoHo and West Village coffee houses. Alabama made abortions

Campy Notes on Fashion 05/15/2019 I went to see the MET Camp: Notes on Fashion exhibition the other day. Camp famously was the theme of last week's MET Gala, and the exhibition opened as soon as the confetti had been hoovered from the entrance hall. Those who are planning a trip to the Big Apple, the exhibition runs through 8 September. I'm peppering this post with pictures, as otherwise there's no way to describe what was on display. The exhibition was well curated, as can be expected of the MET -people - it is not huge, but

Influencing in the City 05/13/2019 Pictures of Master Archie's toes have made it to this side of the Atlantic, thanks for asking. It's a relief to see proof that he has all ten of them. Other than that it was a quiet Sunday as the weather was horrible, but I found refuge in a bookstore around the corner and observed people (in a socially acceptable, discreet manner - I'm not a stalker) in the hotel lobby bar the rest of the afternoon. I knew I had to leave Manhattan to see another woman with short hair, so I took the L-train to

Notes From the Big City 05/11/2019 Observations from New York City: 1. I am the only woman on Manhattan with short hair. It's like religion here, for women to have long hair. The only woman who did have short hair was the Saks Fifth Avenue salesperson. She complemented on my hair, and while I know she's paid to do exactly that, I immediately bought three Gucci-lipsticks. I envy all the unreal manes that come my way, and then try to remember the reasons why I cut mine: in short, mine was never going to be an unreal mane. In a

Jet-Lagged Face 05/10/2019 Every time before a long haul flight I have my epic plans ready to mask and hydrate while on board. I possess an impressive collection of travel-size mists and single-use masks, and for the last trip I actually went as far as decanted various ointments to use during the flight as well. However, the minute I sit down and buckle up, the condition of my skin is the last thing on my mind, because I am just so elated that mobile phones must be switched off. So far the closest to an in the air-skin
