Duck boots: hot or not?

News just in (ish) from the US...

A cosy, utilitarian (and somewhat awkward) boot that's been kicking around for ages has now become the footwear of choice for young hipsters.

...Sound familiar?..

No, I'm not talking about the old ugg boot. This is the duck boot.

Happy New Year!!

I hope you've had a brilliant festive season, with lots of love and hugs. I'm almost at the end of my holidays and I'm marvelling at how relaxed and creative I feel again. My New Year's Resolutions are often very vague and wishywashy, but this year I've resolved be to hold on to that feeling...somehow!

I have heard many people say that 2011 was the year of hard work and unfinished projects, and I have to agree. It was therefore with some glee that I saw the year out, standing on a beach with wine glass and sparklers in hand. Hopefully 2012 can be a year for enjoying the fruits of those labours, enjoying fun times and catching up with lots more friends.

In the spirit of 2012 predictions, I'm thinking/hoping that last year's penchant for the good ol' "colour blocking" will translate into a bit less 'blocky' and a bit more 'washy' this year. I'm talking pastels people. They have floated in and out for a while, but hopefully it will catch on properly in 2012. I have my eye on some new skinny jeans in mint or melon. Sorbet anyone??

Mrs Doubtfire's Christmas gift-guide

This is one of my favourite posts for Clinique so far...Which could have lot to do with the fact that the products are absolutely beautiful, it was a relaxing afternoon and the sun was shining while I was filming it. Something about being all propped up on cushions having earnest discussions also makes me giggle a bit. It's like "Mrs Doubtfire does makeup", but without the monkey, the wig and the prostheses.

Have you done something new with your...head?

No, I wasn't caught in the middle of a fire evacuation at the hairdresser. Nor did my hairdresser collapse mid-way through chopping my locks. I'm just experimenting with lop-sided-lock-iness...(and I love it!)

"SURPRISE!! I cut all of my hair off!!"
