I do need to remind you that my Zara Home giveaway closes this Friday, January 13 2012.  I know, the closing date is a week earlier than originally planned but I have a couple of other things in the pipeline with some of my favourite collaborators and we’re all keen to action some more giveaways.

Not just a pretty face.  These trousers have the best pockets too.  Deep and plentiful.

I’m wearing my Gloria Vanderbilt Amanda jeans in golden beige (actually that’s a shade of foundation but trust me, this is the exact shade) and can attest to their slimming properties.  Christmas New Year was desperately unkind to me and now it’s time to get back to real life and the fact that fun food has calories too.  Even if you do eat them in summer and on four day long weekends.

Blogging is all about new frontiers and I’ve just drafted a guest post as a beauty blogger.  It was great fun and almost like writing a research paper.  There were lots of close up photos, comparison shots and solid objective analysis with a few beauty journalism terms referenced for good measure.  I will let you know what I reviewed and where to find my post when it gets published.

That’s it from me.  Talk soon.
