AUGUST

This is not a usual August in London.  This is the August of the 2012 Olympics and almost everybody has been affected somehow.  Most of us are proud, thrilled and captivated but perhaps some just feel inconvenienced.  Even when I walked down Sloane Street and looked at the designer shop windows, there was a luxurious reminder - Gucci and Roberto Cavalli had both dressed their windows in a sporting theme.  I'm wearing my black silky runner shorts. It will be an August to remember. 

It's hard to imagine that in a few weeks it will be September.  I tend to start a new season with some makeup and I'm looking forward to seeing the new Autumn colours and products as they arrive in the shops.  In the meantime, Marion Cotillard, the French actress and Dior muse, is on the front cover of August French Vogue with a great look for the new season.  Her blue eyes are intensified with a shimmering bronze eyeshadow and black eyeliner, her lips are pale pink and her prettily short and rounded nails are elegantly painted dark red.  That's a look I might emulate!
