Katie Mullally

This week I accompanied my mum down to the Country Living Fair in London where she was showcasing her lovely waistcoats.  I haven't been down in London since November and was starting to have withdrawal symptoms, so it was nice to be back for a week.  The Country Living Fair is quite a big event and there are lots and lots of stalls selling many different things.

This is where I discovered Katie Mullally, a British based jewellery designer.  To say my sister, mum and myself were obsessing over her designs is an understatement.  They are beautifully crafted and completely unique with a mix and match formula allowing you to layer with other pieces.  I love the idea of buying one of her longer chain necklaces and adding little charms to make it more special and individual to you.  We came away with three pieces and I absolutely love mine!  It's not very often you find something that's original and so different from everything else on the high street so I strongly recommend you take a look at Katie's website, you won't be disappointed.

All Katie's pieces are Hallmarked sterling silver which is an indication of the purity of the metal.  She also has a range of gold plated silver.

Tom Ford Shade and Illuminate

Tom Ford Shade and Illuminate

I have recently been working for Tom Ford and have fallen in love with some of his fragrances and makeup.  
To give you a little bit of background, Tom Ford is an American fashion designer and film director who gained international fame for his turnaround of Gucci.  He then went on to create his own Tom Ford label consisting of Fashion, Fragrance, Beauty and Eyewear.


Tom Ford himself is a man of Mystery, he is Charismatic, Daring, Stylish and Bold and for the past twenty years has been one of the most influential designers in the world. 

The Tom Ford makeup look is all about a Radiant Complexion, Flawless Skin, Bold Eyes and Lips and Perfect Symmetry.  One product that i have fallen in love with is Shade and Illuminate.  Designed to sculpt and highlight the skin this is makeup luxury.  Available in two shades, intensity one and two it is perfect for anyone who loves to contour.  With a background in architecture Tom Ford appreciates structure and symmetry and so this product is reflective of this. 

The consistency of both the contour and highlight is creamy allowing the products to blend easily on the skin.  The darker colour creates subtle shading while the illuminator creates a luxurious pearlised highlight.  It also comes in beautiful packaging is reflective of the luxury Tom Ford's brand emulates.
