Paris - The Finale

I met my now husband in London in the year 2003 and on our second date he took me on a surprise trip to Paris. He said that this was when he knew I was kinda special. Following this, a whirlwind romance ensued before I had to hop on a plane to New York for a year. We flew back and forth to see one another until it was finally time to come home and be together. Seven years later, we're now married and both NYC and Paris will always have a special place in my heart

Let's see another couple who had a transatlantic love affair (albeit a much shorter one before they realised they were meant to be together.)

Carrie and Mr Big, take it away.

À bientôt, (well, until Monday to be precise, when I will bore you senseless with my Parisian escapades.)

City Girl Seeks Sexy Legs

I LOVE this product - initally for the packaging - which is flipping cool, and then for the product that lies in wait beneath. Hollywood's "secret weapon" for picture perfect legs, City Girl Firming Leg Shimmer was developed by Hollywood make-up artist Kyra Panchenko while she was working on Sex And The City (can it get any more glamorous?!)

I actually think she had pale Scottish couch potatoes like me in mind when she produced this miracle product. "Leg firming, cellulite-busting, skin-perfecting shimmer" which helps to make pale legs glow like that of Carrie Bradshaw's - they need to start selling it at the Scottish border.

Dolce, Dolce, Dolce

Yes, as Carrie Bradshaw once said, "I know all the Italian I need to know: Dolce, Dolce, Dolce."

And boy, was she right. Check out this delicious new rainbow bright eyeshadow compact from Dolce & Gabbana's highly anticipated new make-up line, inventively named, The Make-Up. The collection (with Scarlett J as their cover girl, remember?) is a collaboration with the legendary make-up artist Pat McGrath and features 11 products that you'll be fighting your fellow beauty lovers for. Apparently the natural shaded collection, with flashes of brightly coloured brilliance, is inspired by the Italian landscape and the glamour and sophistication of 1950s.

If it's good enough for the Italians...
