And we have Miss ERIN WASSON to thank for this inspiration, who manages to flawlessly merge ‘done’ and ‘undone’ on a daily basis. I like what she’s done with her hair here though, as she celebrates the release of a Maybelline New York calendar, of which she is obviously a spokesmodel for, because it’s sexy, it’s simple, and it’s even a little bit split endsy, but it’s also summer and we care a little less about being perfect during summer, don’t we.... more

This week’s twuestion comes from @flangalicious, who says she has has a, “severe lack of time” and is “slightly lazy.” She wants to know: “What’s the minimal daily beauty regime I should be doing and why?” And I thought, what a great time of the year to give simple beauty routines a spin. After all, we are in a month and a season that is flavoured with frenzy and few have the time and inclination at the start of our day to perform cosmetic theatrics.... more

This Twuestion (Twitter Question) comes from Zoe (yah, the choice was easy) who asked “How to make nail polish look fab for more than 1 day?” which is a question I like, because, well I know the answer. I might save Claudia’s about lash extensions for next week, because I definitely know the answer to that one, too.... more

As Yaz noted in her insightful post on vitamin D yesterday, this week is National Skin Cancer Action Week, and as you know by now, I’m never one to shy away from a bit of a tirade about keeping your skin as healthy and looking as young for as long as possible, which is another way of saying WEAR SUN PROTECTION.... more

I met up with an ol’ hair stylist friend of mine last week, Dario Cotroneo (who owns Cut salon in Darlinghurst and is a massively in demand session stylist and who has just created this great new-gen flat hair roller system called Mycurl, which I will blog on real soon) and he taught me all kinds of interesting things about my face and the way I part my hair.... more

And I kind of think is pretty cute and ‘40s and chic and would look dulicious with a punchy red lip and some winged liner and a crisp white shirt with an elegant little collar. Kind of Pearl Harbour style. And holy hairspray so EASY to do! I created it while writing an email and talking on the phone and painting my nails vampire colours! Really! (Not really. Lie.) Anyway. See what you reckon.... more

Is it the same as when you are not hungover? Yes? Great! And by great I mean WRONG. Provided you are over the age of about 21, you just can not use the same skin care and makeup the morning after drinking 14 million red wines. It will not work. You need special assistance. Special products. Allow me to list some of them for you. ... more

You’ve heard of Marisa Miller, right? Oh, you’re not a 16-year old boy? My mistake. Well, she is a model, one of those pretty ‘Hot Girl’ ones like Heidi Klum and Molly Sims. And, she is a Victoria’s Secret angel. Which means she gets paid to walk around in a g-banger in front of millions of people globally. Even though she claims she has cellulite! And has to cover it up with beauty products! I know!... more

Gosho. ‘Sbeen a big couple of days huh? What with the eve before the day and now the day after both of those… I’m feeling about as fresh as week-old prawns. I even look prawny! What with layer upon layer of (now kind of orange) fake tan fading away in patches and two small antennae poking through my hair.... more
