My Beauty Product of the week...

My beauty product of the week has to be my Tom Ford Black Orchid perfume for women!
I first came across this gorgeous perfume during Fashion Nights out back in September 2010. I immeditely fell in love with it and purchased it a couple of weeks later. It cost around £86 for the bottle but was well worth it. I took time to think about the purchase to ensure it was not just an impulse buy, getting lost in the moment during the Fashion Nights Out buzz etc :)

The smell is so sensual and very unique!

This bottle lasts ages as you only need to spray a tiny bit. A girlfriend of mine actually has the Men's version as she says she prefers that one so a very versatile range :)

You can purchase it online via Debenhams at here

The hunt for the Chanel bag...

Today I took the afternoon off to actually spend some quality time with my cousin (or should I say twin as most people put it lol). We decided to do brunch and I promised to help her source a lovely Chanel bag as she has wanted a new one for a while.

On my way to meet her I came across this gorgeous lady with a beautiful Camel trench coat (below pic). This trench coat was certainly not your everyday trench coat and this picture does not even highlight it’s rich Camel colour. I loved her overall casual chic look so thought I would share it with you :)


Unfortunately it is not available in the UK as she purchased it in France :(

Back to my cousin’s hunt for a Chanel Bag...Did she end up buying the Chanel bag? NO she ended up dragging me to Westfield (Very dangerous) and bought a load of perfume, clothes and jewellery! So much for the Chanel bag hey! Now I am shattered and have 100 emails to respond to!!!! OMG!!!

Bye for now

Today I had a business meeting with the amazing International award winning marketing and media expert and author Kubi Springer at the OH TV headquarters in London.

A trip to Designer Zed Eye’s New London Showroom

Today was an absolute crazy day full of meetings and rushing to get to one venue or another but it’s days like these that end up being so much fun! It’s great to just get out of the office and meet with clients or potential clients so that was exactly what I did today.

Last season I produced emerging designer Zed Eye’s London Fashion Week Catwalk show so when I received the call from her to say she had finished moving into her new showroom and was being filmed for a TV interview I made it a must to go and support her and see her new showroom today.
Just to tell you a bit about the Zed Eye brand for those of you who have not yet come across this amazing brand, Nigerian Born uber talented designer Ngozi Pere-Okorotie, is the creative head behind Zed Eye. The London College of Fashion graduate, who takes inspiration from fashion goddess Vivienne Westwood, hails from the Igbo tribe in Nigeria, currently residing in Earls Court, London. It appears the inevitable for such a fashionably talented woman to end up in the fashion capital; Ngozi originally studied to become an accountant.

Her passion for designing beautiful garments stems from sweet childhood memories of her mother's fashion academy, which means Ngozi was constantly surrounded by clothes, and encapsulated into the world of fashion long before she embarked on her successful career as a fashion designer. One life-changing moment that stands out to her is learning how to use a measuring tape at the tender age of six.

Famed for her stand out piece; the three quarter sleeve floral print summer jacket, which has already rouged the wardrobes of top celebrities including Kelis, Shingai (The Noisettes), celebrity hairdresser Tara Smith and renowned British designer Henry Holland, Ngozi sang high praise for her spring/summer 2010 collection.

I finally headed down to Greenwich in London to see Zed Eye’s new showroom and collection pieces and all I can say is Wow!!! The showroom is beautiful and the collection really speaks for itself!

Below pic: The designer behind the Zed Eye Label Ngozi

Loved her shoes!!!!!!!!!!!!

I fell in love with her jackets and definitely need one of those in my life :)

Modeled by Zed Eye's fantastic MUA Stacy

I was so excited I got a bit snappy happy (see below pics)

After Zed Eye’s showroom meeting I dashed off to another meeting and finally to BED!! Yes I do actually sleep,lol, people ask me that all the time.

Tomorrow is another busy day so nite,nite

My beauty product of the week has to be this gorgeous or should I say electrifying Sleek eye shadow palette I came across whilst in Superdrug. I got so excited until I was told it was in fact sold out :( This Palette is just gorgeous and a must have for this summer. The retail price was £6 something for all these colours! An absolute bargain!!!!
