Lady Melbourne this Months Bloom Beauty Icon

I was thrilled inside when Bloom got in contact with me and wanted to have a chat about beauty- I love makeup and all things bold and beautiful. Their newsletter is out today for subscribers but you can also check out their blog with the interview and selected photos from my blog.

My number one beauty tip?

I split it in two(if that’s possible!)- drink plenty of water and get plenty of sleep.

Speaking of sleep I’m back in Australia and blogging this from bed- I landed in Sydney feeling quite ill and was diagnosed with the flu. The doctor ordered me straight back to Melbourne and bed for a week and although I am devastated that I’ve had to give up fashion week, I feel as though I’ve been hit by a bus.

For those of you who have asked no, its not swine flu(!), they made sure all the relevant tests were performed as I’d just landed in from overseas. Despite getting a flu shot and being immunised against swine flu I was told that there are hundreds of strains about that they simply cannot immunise against.
So there you go, I’m a beauty icon but I don’t look much like one at the moment!
