A five minute chat with Giorgio Armani Face Designer Cesar Santos
In November, I was lucky enough to be treated to a very special makeover by Giorgio Armani cosmetics. The genius behind my makeover was Cesar Santos, Armani’s international face designer. After Cesar had transformed my skin beyond belief, I asked him a few questions about what it is like to be one of the world’s foremost make-up artists. Fashion-Mommy: Cesar, how long have you been in the make-up industry? Cesar Santos: I have been International face designer at Armani for 11 years. I am currently London-based but have worked all over the World, including Milan and London fashion weeks. FM: You must have worked with some exciting and interesting people,…

MTV EMA’S – The best looks.
Sunday saw the MTV European Music Awards. Lady divas were out in force with Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Jessie J and Katy B all in attendance. But, as seems to be usual from the MTV fright shows, seriously good fashion looks were a bit thin on the ground. Lady Gaga looked like she’d lost her heart to a starship trouper in futuristic Paco Rabanne,Katy Perry came as a bad Frenchie from Grease lookalike complete with kitsch 50s outfit and pink hair, whilst Jennifer Metcalfe wore Olivia Newton John’s bad girl trousers from the same film. Still, there were a few looks worth checking out again, and here they are. Jessie…

Zara Taylor London – My picks.
I was recently invited to choose some pieces from the fabulous jewellery collection of Zara Taylor London. For those not familiar with the brand, Zara Taylor jewellery is full of beautiful, vintage inspired pieces that incorporate vintage beads and stones into new designs.

Celebrity fans include Taylor Swift, Jessie J, and the girls from Made In Chelsea. When Kerry Katona entered the Big Brother House, she was wearing a Zara Taylor design. Here are the pieces I chose from the latest collection.…

Get the Jessie J look at Harvey Nichols, Birmingham
Did anyone really pay that much attention to this years Britain’s Got Talent? Let’s face it, apart from the Ronan Parke and a batty female Liberace called Jean, it wasn’t the most interesting of programmes…that is until Jessie J appeared. When Jessie J stepped onto the stage, all eyes just shot to her lips, rather than a normal, glossy lipstick, Jessie’s lips were made up in a perfect Union Jack. This left women everywhere shouting ‘Where can I get that look?’ Well, help is now at hand. I can reveal that Jessie was wearing Violent Lips. Violent Lips are a range of temporary tattoos that come in a whole range…

The Brits – a host of Westwood and no eggs in sight!
The biggest night in British music took place in London last night. The Brit awards did not attract as many superstars as The Grammy awards, nor as many fashionistas to watch(with the honourable exception of Rihanna). There was no Kylie, no Lily Allen, no Florence Welch, but there were still many outfits to savour, and a few to commiserate with. Here is a quick rundown of those who won the style awards, and those who were the also-rans! Style Winners. Rihanna wore two stunning couture gowns on the night. She arrived in a Christian Dior Haute Couture dress that was the combination of a purple bodice and turquoise tulle skirt.…
