Fierce. That's how I'd describe Anna Calvi's look at the European Border Breaker Awards the other night. Watching her perform I was struck by how different she is on stage to off. Not only does her softly spoken voice completely transform, full of power and intensity, but her on-stage look is also a complete contrast to her off-duty look.

Dazed Digital interviewed Iris A about the range:

Not far behind red lips, coiffured hair and vintage handbags comes old-school beauty. A skincare routine as simple and straightforward (and hopefully as effective) as that of the mythical, beautifully-complexioned grandmother of yore. Old-school beauty is clearly making a revival - why else would Boots have brought out a range of products called Traditional Skin Care?

I went to an event at The Roundhouse recently and found myself chatting to a guy who had spent many a crazy night there in the 60s and 70s watching psychedelic luminaries like The Doors and Pink Floyd not to mention Bowie, Hendrix and Fleetwood Mac.

Should I ever become a home owner in London, then I would certainly commission the very talented Claire Coles to design and produce some luxury, bespoke wallpaper to adorn one of my bedroom walls.

So here's an admission. I'm extremely lazy when it comes to drying my hair. It's normally a quick blast with the hair dryer (if I'm lucky) or nothing at all.

As much as the hipster overload in Shoreditch on a Friday or Saturday night makes me want to cry, I actually do love working there during the day. It's a much more relaxed affair and there are so many great independent shops. I moved into my new office space this week and discovered this little treat just across the road.

How often can we fall in love with new body moisturisers? As often as we want, obviously.
The latest adore for the bod is Creme de la Corps by Kiehls, the best natural moisturiser out there. Rich but easily absorbed, this leaves skin ultra soft and truly well hydrated. Creme de Corps' humectant (or moisture retaining ingredient) is squalane, naturally derived from olives.

Aussie brands are definitely having a fashion moment right now. The latest one to catch my eye is Cameo, which launches at Asos in November. They are spot on for a bit of colour blocking. Love this skirt and top ensemble.
And here's a sneak peak at some of the products set to drop in February. The yellow on white shirt dress gets my vote. I'm already wishing the winter away.

Is it just me or does it often seem difficult to find time for a long, lazy bath? For some reason, taking an hour out of a busy day to wallow in a decadant bath of bubbles just seems like too much of a luxury when there are so many other things in the world to do. Showers save time, they're better for the environment and (for me at least) they are the only way to wake up in the morning.
