Still in New York and training hard for the New York Marathon in November. It’s such a joy to run through Central Park, it has to be one of the most beautiful Parks.

Managed to see the fabulous Rihanna sing live in Madison Square Gardens whom I went with my friends, actress and producer Rebecca Paltrow and fashion designer Stacy M Igel. I’m just loving her fire engine red hair and have always admired her unique, edgy and sexy style. I have to say that Kesha who supported Rihanna really did a wonderful job. Well done ladies…

Back to The Hamptons for a short while. It really surprises me just how ‘English’ this place is. I guess that’s why it’s known as ‘New England’ then!

On a plane to LA to shoot the new SONY commercial with my good friend, Director Thomas Carty. It was filmed in Downtown LA which was awesome as I managed to soak up some cool graffiti including Banksy. It was great to be filming split days again (i.e 3pm-3am), last time I did that was on Taratino’s movie Deathproof.

No sooner filming was over in LA it was straight back on a plane to London to do some filming for Fiver and doing Hollywood Actress Diane Lane’s hair for an event she was Presenting.

My August Top Style Tip: Has to be the pony tail. For all those ladies with beautiful long hair this is an effortless summer into Autumn must have look. Either pull all your hair to one side and tie a low soft ponytail (not too tight) or scrape all your hair back and tie a tight high ponytail on the crown. Whichever one you go for will work a treat and see you through the rest of the year.

My Product of The Month:   My Feed the Root Conditioner. It’s a stimulating treat for your scalp, especially after all the sun your head’s been exposed to over summer. You’ll get a lovely tingling sensation whilst your scalp gets a well earned moisturizing.
