Thumbnail image for Guest Blog: Vidal Sassoon and his influence by Rebecca May 10, 2012 Guest blogs

Last night I posted about Vidal Sassoon, and this morning I woke up to a comment from a reader in America, with whom I hadn’t  corresponded before. It was her story of visiting the Vidal Sassoon salon in London in the early 70s, and of meeting Vidal himself. It was so wonderful that I immediately […]

LLG Books: Three Books That Are Creating A Buzz by Karen Wheeler

April 28, 2012 Books & writers

Guest Blog: Making a Mice-filled Birthday Cake by Nicola Pravato of Next to Nicx

April 3, 2012 Guest blogs

Y’all may remember the most ravishing baby shower that I attended in Switzerland a few weeks ago for my dear friend Meriel. It was designed & made every step of the way, from letterpress invitations to pastel Fornasetti-inspired cake, by the obscenely talented Nicola Pravato of Next to Nicx. A week later she further excelled […]

Recently, I have read a great deal on the subject of happiness – everything from self-help manuals to scientific tomes on the chemistry of the brain. I write books – memoirs about my life in France – that (I’m told) make people feel happy and that are often described as ‘better than anti-depressants’. But when […]

March 8, 2012 Guest blogs

I was at Broadcasting House for BBC Woman’s Hour on the morning of Roksanda’s show and, although I made it by the skin of my teeth to the show, I couldn’t get backstage beforehand, so I sent Dominique to report back on both the hair by the Charles Worthington team & the skin finishing by […]

Daisy & I met at a London Fashion Week party for Glenda Bailey,  when I drooled over her beautiful jewellery (you really can’t take me anywhere…). She has so many stories about the inspiration behind her pieces, that I immediately asked her if she would like to guest blog for LLG — I always think […]
