2009 Comes to an End!

December 18, 2009

After a crazy December with lots of parties, dinners and xmas events, I am ready for a well deserved break. I am going to Greece with my family to spend the holidays in Athens.

I’d love to thank you all for following my blog throughout the year. I hope you all enjoy the festive season, looking glamorous as always, and have a great start of the year. See you in January!

Elton John's Character and Cocktail Party!

December 14 2009

Elton John threw a charity dinner party auction last night attended by some of the hottest celebrity names! Guests sipped on Grey Goose cocktails and were then treated to an amazing auction including an bar designed by Lily Allen which sold for £100,000! Also up for grabs was a bespoke Rolan Mouret dress.

A truly fantastic night and all for a good cause!

The British Fashion Awards

December 10, 2009

Last night was the 2009 British Fashion Awards, held at the Royal Courts of Justice, in the Strand. It was a complete fashion extravaganza with the creme de la creme of the fashion world gathering together for an incredibly fun evening of awards!

Kate Moss, Pixie Geldof and Viviane Westwood were just a few of the attendees and everyone dressed to impress!

Daisy Lowe and Victoria Beckham both looked amazing, but for me the best dressed award goes to Natalia Vodianova. She exuded winter cool in a powder blue maxi dress with flashes of silver.

First Sample of the  new Glamoxy Snake Serum

December 8, 2009

This morning I was SO excited to receive the first completed sample of Glamoxy Snake Serum- the latest product I have created for Rodial.

I applied a little bit this morning and already people have been commenting on how fresh and smooth my skin looked, one colleague even asked had I popped out on my lunch break for a quick fix of Botox!

I am completely addicted to it already, and I cant wait for you guys to try it too!

Keep posted to find out launch dates!

My X-mas Tea Party!

December 2, 2009

Last night I hosted a tea party at my house for my friend Bella Freud.

It was a lovely afternoon, and lots of people from the arts and media world, including Rufus Wainwright and Yasmin Mills dropped in to feast on pink cupcakes and pink champagne!

Bella showcased her amazing new autumn/winter 09 knitwear collection of jumpers, which went down a treat amongst the guests- with 10% of proceeds going to benefit the Hoping Foundation; a charity close to both mine and Bella’s heart.

Naomi hearts Rodial!

I received a lovely letter in the post this morning from Naomi Campbell saying that she loved Rodial products!

I love hearing positive feedback from all our customers, and the letter from Naomi was a lovely touch.

So if you ever wondered how she get's her glorious, illuminous skin, now you know- Rodial!
