Charlotte Tilbury x Norman Parkinson Collection at Selfridges
Take the work of one of the most revered photographers of the 20th Century. Add in the make-up collection of Charlotte Tilbury, the world’s number one make-up artists in the 21st Century.

Friday fashion focus – Yellow
When it comes to colour, there is one shade that I always move towards. Yellow is the colour of sunshine, custard, buttercups and dandelions, of pretty tea roses and Big Bird, and it is one of my favourite things.

Kate Spade Stationary at Selfridges
As someone who has a weakness when it comes to stationary, I was super excited when I found out that Selfridges had started stocking the wonderfully glamorous stationary range from Kate Spade. Featuring a whole range of notebooks, desk implements, push pins and journals, this range is just the ultimate in glamorous stationary for budding writers, avid diarists and just those who can’t walk past a branch of Paperchase! I took a look around the Birmingham branch and was instantly drawn to the wonderful ‘Idions’ pencils, the binder clips and the glasses pencil case (all featured below). I thought these would be super stylish for the occasions when I venture…

Her beauty masterclasses are not to be missed, with her latest being a lesson in the products and techniques from Urban Decay that will allow your make -up to last all day. As a busy mother, who doesn’t have that long to apply my make-up in the first place, let alone have time to re-apply, this was certainly a lesson I was in need of. So I took a trip to Selfridges in Birmingham last Friday to take a closer look. Urban Decay is well…
