The Glamourously Gorgeous Golden Globes

Happy New Year to all my fabulous Coco followers!

Wasn't it a great start to the year with the Golden Globes last week?

I'm still feeling a little jetlagged, but I wouldn't have missed it for the world! I hope you all spotted me strutting my paws on the red carpet?

Each year the awards seem to get more coverage for the Worst & Best Dressed, than it does for the winners nominated.....and I say, quite rightly so!

This year did not disappoint either with an array of our fave celebs sporting some of 2012 up and coming trends whilst others...well...what can i say!

Top of my list this year was Emma Stone in a plum and fuschia Lanvin dress, which I thought complimented her gorgeous locks perfectly.

But unfortunately Kelly Osbourne, was bottom of my list in a hideous futuristic Zac Posen dress..yuck,yuck, yuck!

Keep an eye out for me in the 'Best Dressed' dog list at the Golden Globes.....Chanel, of course!

Hair trends1940’s full on glamour, add red lipstick to complete the look

Christmas is a coming...

I am super excited about Christmas already and I have even started writing my list for doggy Santa! An absolute must have for my poochy lips is this fabulous limited edition Swarovski studded Elizabeth Arden Cream Lip Protectant (£19).

All things glittery, silver and shimmery seem to be the trend for this winter’s Christmas season.

Little Mix from X Factor were bang on trend this week with their glittery disco make-up.

Do you think this would suit me?

I’ve definitely got an inner disco doggy diva! Hmm…off to find myself some sequin inspiration…

South Clerk Street gets a makeover…

I love a makeover; Clueless, Romy and Michelle’s High School Reunion, Grease, Mean Girls-they're all my favourite films…and now it’s time for the ultimate makeover of all time. Our Medusa South Clerk Street salon is closed at the moment and oh my goodness you’re going to be impressed.

It has been ripped to shreds, torn apart and we’re starting again. I can’t reveal too much but our lovely director Claire is up to her eyelashes in Swarovski crystals, what are they being glued to? Well, you’ll just have to wait won’t you?

So if you’re looking for a VIP pamper day or some extra special Christmas gifts , pop into South Clerk Street and have a look around. It’ll re-open next week and boy there’s going to be a queue!

To be continued…

Medusa pick up Image of the Year 2011 at the Your Hair Awards

I know I've been a bit awol as of late but I have some fabulous news to share with you all, my daddy Colin won the Your Hair Image of the Year. Although he couldn't have done it without the help of the amazing NHF Inspire team, so a big paws up to everyone in the team as well. I'm so proud of him and all the team that were involved.

He's been very busy lately working with the NHF Inspire Team and some members of RUSH Hair so I hardly get to see him but all his hard work has paid of. Hopefully he'll spoil me this weekend to make up for being away so often, I'm certainly a pampered pooch!

I hope everyone has something exciting planned for this weekend? I'll be lying in the garden in the sun with mummy and daddy as long as the sun stays put – ah bliss!

PS Did you see the vids on Medusa Facebook from backstage at LFW! That Ryan is certainly a busy boy!

Behind the scenes....

Hi Medusa fans!

How are you all? Have you been enjoying the Fringe? I’ve seen my fair share of shows and enjoyed a tipple or two, it’s such a hectic few weeks I think I’ll need a detox afterwards!

But it’s not all play and no work…I was recently working hard backstage at a photoshoot with the Medusa Artistic Team. We were styling the hair for Quiz Clothing new ad campaign and A/W lookbook. I like to think I art directed the shoot – I made sure everyone was organised and gave them my top tips and trend advice. Check out the photos to see behind the scenes.

The style of the shoot was very glam (I always think a lady should be looking glamorous and always made up!) Lots of volume and tumbling waves, I chatted with the handsome Ryan from Medusa who gave me some insider secrets on achieving volume and body. He told me to tong hair then brush upside down and spray with some strong hold hairspray – this adds lift and body to the roots. But sssh – I didn’t reveal this model secret!

Have a fabulous weekend! I’ll be glued to Celebrity Big Brother in between cocktails.
