Autumn beauty treats to warm up your look.


Looking good is not only about sporting the latest trend. Even the simplest of outfits can be stunning if you get the grooming right. Here are a few essential products I have discovered and love this autumn. These fabulous beauty finds will lend your look some serious polish. 


Salon chic at home....

No look is complete without a perfect Mani and Pedi to match, so the increase in gel nails has been a life saver for the style conscious girl. However, all those trips to the salon can take their toll on your bank balance. Swap every second manicure for a home treatment and coat your nails in Revlon's new Colourstay formula - inspired by the gel formula it has more staying power than regular polish.  I will be wearing Fall Mood this season, the warm beige shade provides the perfect contrast to rich Autumn hues. 

Fake a fresh blush....

As the sun fades, so do our tans meaning that pale has never been so interesting. Give you complexion a youthful lift with a shot of blusher. I love Bobbi Brown Rough Pots in Pale Pink. The bright fuchsia colour looks natural and fresh on your skin, while the soft creme formula feels great and lasts all day. 



Seasonal scents that are good enough to eat....

If summer smells of coconut oil and sun cream, then surely Autumn is fragranced with open log fires and blackberry pie. Jo Malone's new Blackberry and Bay fragrance sums this sense of Autumn up perfectly. This scent will make you glad the nights are drawing in, and ready for cosy Autumn gatherings. I love it!!!


Time to stock up on toffee apples, and look out your sweaters, Autumn fun is nearly here!!

Alice Temperley adds glamour to a shopping classic


As a long time fan of Kings' Road shopping, I have always seen Peter Jones as the mecca of all things sensible- good home wear, a no nonsense beauty hall and the go-to spot for wedding gifts. 

But now there is an altogether more stylish reason to head to Peter Jones. Alice Temperley's Somerset collection, designed exclusively for John Lewis. 

This is the perfect capsule collection for autumn, boasting everything from luxe maxi dresses to perky animal print pumps. Think old school glamour mixed with town and country chic. Perfect for weekend away packing!!!

My faves from the collection are these gorgeous over the knee boots.... perfect for work or play, they are a great investment for winter. 



And looking ahead to the party season....super early I know.... I just love this pleated monochrome dress



The beauty of this collection is that it is totally wearable and has something to suit most shapes, and lifestyles. 

Throw out everything you own and buy the whole range, or pick a statement piece and work round it... but what ever you do try it!

Our new mantra girls.....John Lewis is not just for tights and haberdashery!!!
