How to: Switch up your Beauty Look for Summer
Wed, 28 November 2012 3:17PM
I’m a big fan of Last Minute Decisions. Hell, I’ve even been known to regularly give the Last Second Deciders a go, too. I’m not scared. But, dear Primpettes, I am not prepared to take you with me down the slippery slope of my sedentary approach to decision making. To ensure you don’t leave the important stuff… more

How to: Style a Messy Milkmaid Braid
Fri, 19 October 2012 2:06PM
The milkmaid braid – or plaited headband – has been on red carpets for a while now. This is how it usually, and traditionally, looks (thanks, Ms Cat Deeley, for the lovely demonstration): As pretty as the style is, it’s also a bit seen-it-before.

Thu, 5 July 2012 12:15PM
I really didn’t think that Elie Saab could top the sleek waves from his Spring/Summer ‘11 show, but considering my love of a good braid, this ultra-sleek yet feminine double-French version has pipped them at the post. It strikes the perfect balance for not looking too Princess-like or milkmaid, but I think that’s what I love… more

Like It Or Leave It: Kristen Stewart’s Braided ‘Do At Snow White & The Huntsman Premiere
Thu, 21 June 2012 4:38PM
Admittedly, I’ve never been a die-hard Twilight fan, but character and film choices aside, I salute Kristen Stewart for staying true to her individual style.

How to: Do a ’60s-style Ponytail
Wed, 21 March 2012 10:38AM
Like many of you, I love Mad Men. But I adore the mad women beside them even more. In particular, I am crazy for the trends they have reintroduced. Think perfect red lips, seductively lined eyes, oval nails and alabaster complexions. Now with the hit series set to return for its fifth season in the… more

It’s a Gloss Off: Side Braid vs. Side Braid. Beyonce vs. Kristen Stewart.
Tue, 27 September 2011 10:45AM
OK, you got me. These Gloss Off games are usually reserved for some good old product banter, but today I’m mixing things up – I’m playing celebrity against celebrity; hairstyle against hairstyle. (Beyonce and Kristen Stewart begged me to bend the rules. And I couldn’t say no to their cute wee faces, could I? Nope.) SOME… more
