The phrase “carry-on suitcase” makes me laugh because I always think of the Carry On film series – what a boring film Carry On the Suitcase would make! “Ooooh er missus! Would you like a hand with your zips? Can I help you stuff your bag?” Sorry. Over-active imagination. For those unaware of the British [...]

Why, why, why do we all feel the need to book flights at the most ridiculous times in the morning? Quite often I find myself getting up at 5am, 4am (even 3am!) to catch a flight. It’s inhumane, I tell you! Most of these times it’s because I’m flying to do a shoot and they [...]

I can’t quite believe that Mr & Mrs Smith have made their entry-level membership FREE! I posted about BlackSmith membership ages ago – it’s one of the best loyalty schemes going. Even if you don’t ever end up booking a hotel room through them, Mr & Mrs Smith will give you all kinds of discounts [...]

[I'm a bit late with my travel reviews - I wanted to post them up in August - but this place is fully booked for the year anyhow, so no harm done! This is a great one to bookmark for next year if you're planning a luxury trip! Book Here: MR & MRS SMITH] Aenaon [...]
Continue Reading →A bit of a random video, this, with a mixed bag of products. Some things that I only ever buy from the airport (it has become something of a ritual over the years!), some things that are exclusively available at Duty Free (or “Travel Retail” as it is known now) and some things that are [...]

Say hello to the most noise-intolerant person on the planet: ME. I actually have a proper, verging-on-ridiculous problem with noise that other people make. Obviously I’m OK with my own noise – if I’m watching TV or stomping about, then that’s fine, but everyone else must observe my Noise Rules. Ha! These include: no loud [...]

Excuse me if I get a little overexcited here, but this (above) is where I’m off to in the not-so-distant future. (I might even be there right now – it depends when I hit the ‘publish’ button!) Sun Rocks, Santorini, Greece. Only for three days, but still – amazing. I can’t bloody wait! It’s not [...]

Continue Reading →Back to New York, because there are still a few more things that I want to tell you about my trip and keep forgetting to! We’re beauty shopping again, and we’re going from C.O. Bigelow’s to Ricky’s – from the traditional apothecary to the modern beauty supply store, and also from slightly wary staff, to [...]

I’ve just stayed in a great hotel in Germany, the ‘Hotel Friends’. I have to admit that when the taxi pulled up outside I was a little dubious; the hotel looked as though it was over a row of shops, and there was no lobby on ground level. Entering the hotel felt like going into [...]

Just a little bargain I picked up at LHR Terminal 5 – the Lengthen and Define set from Clinique. I was actually only after a new Quickliner because I had forgotten my black eyeliner, but I can’t resist any kind of discount when it’s laid out in front of me (which is why I have [...]

I popped into C.O. Bigelow whilst in New York – not for anything in particular, I was just trying to escape the bitter cold. I think that the staff knew that, because they followed me about until finally I felt compelled to leave. But not before I managed to take a good few covert pictures! [...]

I just broke the second rule of Flight Club: “No Sneaky Napping”. And I had been doing so well! The first night here in New York City, I made sure that I stayed awake until 10pm (3am GMT!) so that I immediately got into the new time zone. But today, I finished work early and [...]

As this publishes onto the world-wide-web, I am in an aeroplane somewhere over the Atlantic, on my speedy way to New York City. I am in NYC shooting a hair campaign for KMS and it is all rather last-minute because I only actually cast for the job last Thursday! Things often happen in this manner [...]

To celebrate the launch of the seventh Mr & Mrs Smith Hotel Collection book which covers South-East Asia, I have FIVE to give away! The Smith books are beautiful, full of amazing photographs and well-written reviews. They make for compulsive reading for people like me who sit and daydream about holidays (I like to call this [...]

A couple of weeks ago I took myself on a little trip to Paris. I have been to Paris more times than I can remember, but this time was very different because I was visiting for pleasure and not for business. Usually I am in Paris for one of two reasons; a direct booking (a [...]
