Don't be frightened. I promise the pictures above and below are not pictures of some exotic torture. In fact, it's quite the opposite. Those bright pink rays you're seeing are all helping to heal my face and take away the daily London grime that likes to accumulate over the day. This is my new lunchtime love...
This is the Sarah Chapman LED Light Therapy and the treatment can easily fit into your lunch hour, with 30 mins to spare. It's a fast treatment that involves a lovely cleanse with a facialist, followed by twenty minutes in front of a non invasive red LED panel.

Style Update: A Lavish Alice Off-The-Shoulder Moment
And the off-the-shoulder top obsession continues. Anyone else feeling as if this is all I have in my closet this summer? Hey, if you love something, don't let it go. Hmmmm, pretty sure the saying is "if you love something, let it go," but I'm making it up as I go along here, folks. My latest sartorial obsession comes courtesy of Lavish Alice, a brand that's new to my closet, but one I'm fastly falling for.

Video: 20 tips for packing the perfect carry-on!
For the past five years, I have more or less spent my life living out of a hundred different suitcases. In the beginning, I made big mistakes - never planning, throwing everything into the case but the kitchen sink and never seeming to have exactly what I needed when I needed it most. Oh, the drama. Nowadays, I have the process of packing down to a fine art. I've visited exotic destinations with some of the most well travelled individuals on the earth and I've always taken note of little tips their willing to hand out along the way. And I've been thinking, for some time, that it might be a good idea to share these little tips and tricks. So when CollectPlus asked me if I'd put together a tutorial of sorts for their followers, I was all too happy to oblige, especially as CollectPlus has become...

Fifi Lapin poster shop
Hello!
Lots of people have been in touch to ask when my shop will be reopened. Well I'm having a few issues with logistics but I hate to disappoint so I have decided to keep things simple for the moment. The shop is opened again but I will only be shipping on Tuesdays for the foreseeable future and have just a small line of posters to begin with. Hop on over and have a nosy!

Louis Vuitton - The Art of the Journey
A few weeks ago I told you guys about an amazing exhibition that was taking place in Louis Vuitton's London flagship store on New Bond Street - The Art of the Journey, a look at the history of Louis Vuitton trunks. While I like to think that we all have endless hours in the day, to visit far off destinations and look at amazing exhibitions, I realize that's just not the case. So, I thought I'd bring you a look at the exhibition itself, for those of you that couldn't make it to London for the grand event. And, just in case you are reading about all of this for the first time, and you are in London... today's the last day to see the exhibition, so get yourself down to the store and ask for an official tour (ends June 9th, 2016). Pictures can, of course, tell a great story, but there's nothing...

The Airport made me do it: Bobbi Brown Smokey in Seconds
I have forgotten my makeup bag on a press trip only once. It's important to mention this because once was all it took. I found myself in the airport, reaching for my toiletries to take out for security screening and it dawned on me that there was no bag because it was still sitting on my bathroom sink. All by itself it sat, resting and shaking it's imaginary finger in my general direction and saying, in a rather disappointed voice, "we knew this would happen eventually."And there it was... happening. But, I firmly believe that when one door closes in this crazy universe, it allows another to open. And this is where my new insane obsession with shopping airports has officially taken a new turn - towards beauty.
So there I am wondering where to start. Where do I turn? My gut told me to go...

Handpicking the Rose Centifolia in Grasse, France
Every May, the small town of Grasse, France comes alive in celebration of flowers. It is in this region of the world where the famous Rose Centfolia is grown, harvested and, ultimately, sold to some of the finest fragrance houses in the world. For only two weeks a year, the fields are filled with beautiful pink buds that hold a scent so sweet, it's difficult not to feel transformed to an other-wordly place. And guess what... I got invited to be a part of it all, from early morning harvesting to watching the roses meet their destiny in the factory.
For my visit to Grasse, I was a guest of Le Labo. This is a fragrance company that has held my heart (and the key to my own "smell") for the past six years. But, they have captivated the fashion world since opening doors in 2006. Ok, they've...
