With temperatures soaring towards 30 degrees this weekend, it’s hard to believe that Autumn is here - but now it’s October, and we can’t delude ourselves any longer. The weather will be doing more Autumnal type things from this week onwards, bringing us back down to the ground like the golden brown falling leaves (how poetic).

If you’re going out for the night in London, Friday is one of the best times to do it. Most people are in a celebratory mood for the end of the working week, so the vibe is almost electric: excitement in the air!

The royal darlings have been together since...

Just in case you haven’t yet heard, a member of the royal family is getting married this week. Did you like our little joke there? Hm? Of course you’ve already heard! The wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton is absolutely inescapable; it’s all over the radio, the television, newspapers and magazines. They even made a dodgy film version of how they met, which didn’t quite make the cinema! It’s the biggest royal wedding since...

Can you feel the anticipation in the air? This week there’s a palpable excitement amongst designers, models, magazine editors, make-up artists and hair stylists, photographers and all lovers of fashion, as London Fashion Week (LFW) draws closer. Gearing up for catwalks and store openings to exhibitions and after show parties, this is the time of year when the beautiful people congregate and lead the way for what we’ll all be wearing next season. Although not many...
