DIANA VREELAND PERFUME

Ever since seeing the fantastic film The Eye Has toTravel (please watch it, it’s divine!) I’ve had a major fashion-crush on Diana Vreeland’. The late fashion editor of Harper’s Bazaar (she held this position for an unprecedented 26 years) and Editor-in-Chief of US Vogue is one of the most influential fashion editors of all time…. And now you can smell like her!

Vreeland’s grandson, Alexander Vreeland, has created five luxury Diana Vreeland Parfums; cleverly named after quotes from Mrs. Vreeland herself: ‘Extravagance Russe’, ‘Absolutely Vital’, ‘Perfectly Marvellous’, ‘Simply Divine’ and ‘Outrageously Vibrant’. 

Each fragrance has been blended to represent Mrs. Vreeland’s eccentric personality and style. Alexander drew on his late grandmother’s set of memoirs and archives to create a truly personal collection of fragrances. The bottles are definitely something to write home about; with jewel-coloured glass and tassel details – I, for one, certainly want one of these on my dressing table.

Diana Vreeland Parfums are available exclusively at Selfridges and come in two sizes, 100ml (£180) and 50 ml (£135)

Radiance Cleanse at Avenue St james

Avid readers will know I'm a major fan of juicing, I can't say that I live my life totally virtuously all the time (or ever) but I try to take care of my body and juices are the best way to inject those extra vitamins into your diet. The only thing is, unless you get them delivered or happen to live near a Whole Foods they're not easy to come by (the proper, vegetable-based cold pressed juices, I mean.).

Restaurant Avenue St. James has come to the rescue with it's new breakfast menu where alongside breakfast classics like Eggs Benedict and French Toast you'll find a range of custom-blended juices including an exclusive 'Rise & Shine' juice created especially for Avenue.

There are two green juices, which contain alkalising veggies and are a great juice to start your day with, a delicious red juice with beetroot and fennel and the yellow 'Rise & Shine' which contains Tumeric root, Orange and Pineapple and tastes a bit like sunshine (seriously). 

What I like about this juicy breakfast menu is that it's not scary. Sometimes juice cleanses are a little bit overwhelming and just impractical; this way you can have a tasty breakfast with an added vitamin boost. What's not to love?

Radiance Cleanse Juices are available at Avenue St. James

Review: Clinique Even Better Concealer in Hazelnut

I hate wearing foundation, so I never do (unless someone slathers it on me at a photoshoot). I don't have the best skin but it's okay, so I don't want to hide it. Being mixed race, I tend to get really bad pigment spots and scars if I've had a blemish. they can be really dark but they're tiny so it's hard to find conceal or to cover them.

This is super, super thick and creamy and I dab it on with my finger. It's the perfect colour match for my skin so I don't need to blend it really. It also doesn't go cake or flakey and lasts a full working day - even when you're on and off the sweaty tube. I'd highly recommend it, if like me you have a few tiny but annoying pigment spots or blemishes you want to hide. 

Price: £19

Packaging: Nice but perhaps not hygenic? 

Coverage: Excellent

Overall review: 9/10 I love this! The colour blends seamlessly and it's pigmented enough to cover scars.
