The art of building your own handbag with Wilbur & Gussie

We live in a world where customisation is key. It isn't enough anymore to have a great "it" bag - it's now all about having a bag exclusive to you. Fashion brands the world over are trying to find a way to bring this personalised service to their clientele in every which way from monogramming to masterminding the bag yourself from scratch. Now, I feel it's my personal responsibility to keep up with all these delightful trends and that's how I found myself in the hot seat with Wilbur & Gussie last week in London.  Wilbur & Gussie have just launched a whole new bag experience, appropriately named "Build a Bag." Clients can come into the newly opened shop on New Quebec Street to undertake the rather easy and very rewarding task of putting their own personal stamp on a clutch bag....

Are you ready for the Fried Chicken Waffle Burger?

Since I got into the whole game of reviewing food, I've put some interesting things in my mouth over time. But none so surprising, not to mention calorific, as the Fried Chicken Waffle Burger.  Now, it must be said that Bird Restaurants were discovered the way most are these days - through social media. I found myself flipping through London eating tags and came across this monstrosity of mouthwatering goodness. It called to me like a bright shiny penny. My first attempt at grabbing such a burger ended in disaster. I made my way to Islington to sit down and add another five pounds to my ever growing arse and I was turned away from moment one. It seems Bird has a bit of a different time schedule when it comes to game days in the area - check this before making the journey. They not only...

Go Big or Go Home!

REDKEN HIGH RISE VOLUME SHAMPOO & CONDITIONER* Now that my hair is somewhat on the mend (although I'm actually getting my hair done next week, so HELLO BLEACH I'VE MISSED U BOO) I was in the market for a new shampoo and conditioner. While moisture is all well and good it's way too heavy for the current state of my hair. Pureology Hydrate will forever be the key to keeping my hair in good condition, I just think we should see other people. I've been using two different product ranges from Redken recently to keep my locks in check - One being Redken Beach Envy which is v. lovely but I think I've firmly decided on loving Redken High Rise Volume a little bit more. It's kinda hard to describe it, it sort of lifts the roots and gives natural volume without making the hair feel like a bird's...

FFG Beauty: Perricone MD Facial at Metropolitan by COMO

A few weeks ago I noticed a tweet mentioning a facial in London. Now it must be said that facials for me are a dime a dozen on social media. Everyone is always talking about new ones here and there and the great things they can do. So, what on earth makes one facial stand out from another? For those of you that have been reading Fashion Foie Gras for at least a year, (or maybe you've been reading all seven years) you'll know that there's one skincare guru that has me hooked. I've been using one of his products for the past six years and it's the one product I swear by and will do for the rest of my time on this earth. Of course I'm speaking of Dr. Perricone and his Cold Plasma serum. And here's where I show my ignorance. I had no idea the great skincare guru had designed facials. And yes,...

FFG Eats: Bottomless Brunch at Hix Mayfair

"What do you mean by 'bottomless,' exactly?" asked my friend down from Scotland. How do I accurately describe this weekend tradition without sounding like a lush? The correct description of a Bottomless Brunch in my twenties would have been, "it's a challenge to see how much you can drink in a two hour seating." I like to think in my thirties I've matured into a person who believes this is less of a challenge and more of an opportunity to enjoy more than your average number of cocktails as you catch up with friends and family over a glorious meal. In Los Angeles and New York, I've sat for more bottomless brunches than I could possibly recall. And yes, I'm proud to say I can actually recall them all. I'm not sure I can say the same for all of my friends. But, in London the Bottomless Brunch...

Reader Questions Answered: Blogging as a career? Time Management? Freebies?

So we thought we'd turn things a bit around for the latest segment of "Are we relevant yet?" and take a question or two from you guys. I mean it isn't so fun preaching all the time. Sometimes it's better to know that you're actually answering a question you might genuinely have, right? Queue the agony aunts of blogging. Mademoiselle Robot and I both took on the following questions and answered them in completely different ways.  1. How do your organize your time? The simple answer is an iPhone. Ok, that's more the technical answer. But it's really the only way in which I organize my time. I organize meetings, put them in the calendar and that's as organized as I get. Some people plan intensively - I just throw meetings in until I don't have any meeting times left. Sleep is for the...

Five mid block heels to buy on the high street now

For tall ladies everywhere, this is the year that the footwear Gods have shined down on us. This is the summer of the midi-heel and it's all about a great block cut. They're sturdy, they still have the capability of making your bum and legs look amazing and they won't leave you with feet that wish they could detach from your body after a day of being out and about. In short, midi block heels are just about the best thing trend going this season. Rather then pointing you in the direction of Chloe, Tod's or Celine (who all offer great options to cover this trend), I thought I'd save you a pretty penny or two and point you in the direction of the deals and steals on the great British high street.  So, from online shopping with ASOS to the newbies at New Look, here are five styles that...
