Mexico Cookbook
I'm in love with this cookbook for many reasons. Here's a few of them : 1) it's the worlds most beautiful cookbook and fits perfectly with my Mexican country cottage interior vibe. 2) it reminds me of many a Grazia beauty summer shoot trip to Mexico including our 2014 trip with the gorgeous Lindsay Ellingson. 3) it's packed with delicious (and easy) recipes that I can actually afford to make. I'll be gifting this to all my friends this Christmas.

Double Plaits
I'm swapping my signature single plait for a forward thinking SS15 pigtail look. Half inspired by the trends and half by my gorgeous goddaughter Isabella Lilac (who wears pigtails better than anyone), the trick to making them work on grown ups is working a bit of rough texture into the roots and ends, not to mention wearing them low and loose.
Detox With A Difference
This week I said goodbye to my beloved green juices and went to the dark side. Botanic Lab's Isotonic 1 juice is shaping upto be one of the biggest cleanse trends for the coming year so I delved in to find out more. This scary-looking number is specially formulated to match the concentration of glucose, salt, water and minerals found in your blood. It's cane juice, lemon, yuzu, salt and activated charcoal blended together - it tastes sweet and goes down a treat.
