Jack & Hill in the Sunday Times Style Beauty Awards 2007

Jack & Hill in the Sunday Times Style Beauty Awards 2007

Don't get too excited: Beauty edior Bethan Cole just refers to Hillary's comment about Bobbi Brown's Maoist ethos, without crediting her, in this year's edition.

And now for the diatribe:

The awards themselves are determined by readers' votes. I find it somewhat depressing that with all of the innovation going on and the explosion of so many fabulous brands over the last several years, boring old Clinique ended up the brand Sunday Times readers voted for most. While ...

The “secrets” to French beauty

The “secrets” to French beauty

I usually like London's Sunday Times' beauty writing, but this piece on how French women manage to look so good is astonishingly stupid. It's full of tired, scientifically bankrupt tips that amount to nothing at all worth reading. Nice picture, though.

Speaking of pictures, here's one of my favorite photos of Claire, my fiancé's French mother (shown feeding Antoine as a newborn in 1965). Now she knows from chic.

Haircut time?

Haircut time?

Thinking of cutting my hair this short 
  Originally uploaded by dynamist.

Thing is, that last cut was a really ...

Salt + pepper shakers + Kenzo Amour 
  Originally uploaded by dynamist.

Those two orange things are vintage salt and pepper shakers, for which I paid a pretty penny at Mark Fisk's Mainly Art, the best store in the whole WORLD. The tall, curvaceous creature next to them is not a pricey sculpture, but a bottle of Kenzo Amour, which was gifted to me by Kenzo's PR people. ...

Bliss Plum Plum Firming Body Balm

Bliss Plum Plum Firming Body Balm

I don't care how soft-yet-firm this moisturizer can make my skin. All of its positive properties are negated by the fact that it smells of bad potpourri. It's just not a scent I enjoy at all. The annoying thing is that it's not off-putting enough to make me throw away a $32 jar of moisturizer (though I did get mine for only $7 at TJ Maxx). So this will be my nighttime body cream, I guess, since I'm ...

Katie's 30th birthday 
  Originally uploaded by dynamist.

Sorry I've been quiet - I've just been a wee bit busy living life in London and the US now. (American PR companies, email me at DYNAMIST -at- GMAIL -dot- COM for my new Stateside shipping address!) I've been doing this for a month, and after a trip to London and New York - and a great weekend with my friends ...
