Dunhill is arguably one of the most well respected and traditional British labels. Devised in 1893, it began as a motor accessory brand to appeal to the quintessential British gentleman. Before long Dunhill became known for selling all sorts of paraphenalia such as fishing rods, pipes, sporting equipment, stationary and classic motoring gloves.

This season's perfect skin is all about a matte complexion that still glows. Banish any thoughts of a shiny face and follow the lead on the catwalks for
super flawless skin that's the ideal canvas for some of
this autumn's more dramatic trends. To make it a little easier Lancome have just launched
Colour Ideal Powder, (£24) which is a silky pressed powder with jaw-droppingly natural results.

Don't get me wrong, I loved the
original version of the Hepper Pod Beds, but I'm loving this incarnation even more. Let me explain why:
- A liner is now removable (washable for "accidents"!) and reversible in snuggy sherpa and smooth microfiber.
- The improved metal frame features two legs to make it more stable and a larger entry hole both perfect for those fluffier or chunkier cats and small dogs.
- There's prettier color combinations, too!

At a time of soaring energy bills, sky high mortgage re-payments and general economising, it’s time to invest in products that give genuine value for money. The revolutionary new Eco Dry from
BaByliss (£19) is not only kind to the environment, it’s also good for your pocket too!
The
Eco Dry uses half the energy of a standard 2000W hairdryer, whilst drying your hair just as fast — saving electricity and therefore saving you money on your electricity bill.

Recently I was lucky enough to meet with skincare guru and expert dermatologist Dr Zein Obagi to talk about how to prevent skin ageing. Dr Obagi is often referred to as a maverick and a visionary; with a vast array of experience working with plastic surgeons, doctors and dermatologists he is undoubtedly one of the leading experts in skin health. Dr Obagi is also a charismatic lecturer and teacher, as well as having successfully corrected a wide range of skin conditions for his clients, which range from facial melasma and acne scars to deep wrinkles and unsightly age spots.

Personally I can never resist a little bit of shimmer and sparkle, especially in the run up to Christmas. No wonder then that I'm head over heels about Sarah Jessica Parker's
Winter Sparkle collection. If you've
got your LBD sorted and picked out some
suitably glittery footwear then this beautiful set will add the finishing touch to your look.

Six of the world's most up and coming fashion designers are to put their fame to good use this month. The new darlings of the fashion world are all set to launch a collaborative scent project which aims to raise awareness and funds for the charity
Designers Against Aids. The project is called Six Scents and the first series will feature the fragrances of Gareth Pugh, Jeremy Scott, Alexandre Herchcovitch, Bernhard Wilhelm, Cosmic Wonder Light Source and Preen.

I just couldn't resist telling you about this sweetly chic collection. Now while I'm not really a Disney fan, I've completely fallen for
Paul & Joe's pretty set. The illustrations of Bambi, Lady and the Tramp and Aristocats have an old-fashioned air that's sure to create more than a touch of nostalgia for the days when all you wanted in life was to be a Disney Princess.

This season
oversize bows have replaced floral blooms as the hair acccessory of choice for the cool set. From the catwalks at Sportmax where the models wore floppy, satin creations to
structured preppy bows at Marc by Marc Jacobs or satin ribbons at
Luella; the coolest locks are sporting this trend for autumn. Now
YSL have got in on the act with their new
Christmas beauty collection.

As
Christmas is fast approaching, I hope you've all been checking out mine and Fab UK's
2008 Holiday Gift Guides. I just had to give a special mention though to
Philosophy's collection of delectable goodies for the festive season. The American beauty brand has gone all out this year to bring us some covetable stocking fillers as well as stunning gift sets that will wow your friends and family.
