avourite Clothes Shop: I love shopping on the high street. I go to Warehouse for chunky knits, and Topshop or H&M for everything else. But when it comes to January sales Selfridges is the absolute best for bargains.

Most Delicious Restaurant: I get real cravings for Dim Sum, and because there is no way I can make it myself I like to go to Ping Pong. All of their restaurants are equally good, and the menu is delicious.

Best Bar: Cocoon has the most amazing cocktails, and a relaxed, unpretentious atmosphere in a great location. My favourite cocktail is the Passion Flower with vanilla and lychee - yum

My Special Place in the City: Richmond Park is my special place whatever the season. I love walking there as I think its just the most beautiful place in London. That is why my husband and I got married there - which makes it all the more special to me.

Dream Holiday Location: I really enjoy ski-ing, and would really like to visit the The Rockies in Colarado. I've heard that the snow is amazing. I also like relaxing in the sun, and as long as there is a beach, spa and good food I am not fussy!

Favourite Film: Time To Kill is an inspirational film with an important message. I also like the Notebook - although it always makes me cry!

Best Book: 5 People You Meet In Heaven made me realise that every action in life has a consequence to either yourself or someone else. I really enjoyed reading it.

Finest Hotel: The Grand Killington in Vermont is the best hotel which I have ever been to. You can ski in and out of the back of the hotel, and it has massive fire places and sofas to relax in after a hard day on the slopes. Perfect!

The gadget you can't live without: I can't live without my iPad. It was the most impulsive purchase I have ever made, but with no regrets. I think that everyone should have one.

Top hair tip: Consider having a T-section between full and half heads of highlights, especiall if you have a special occasion or event. It covers the necessities and is a lot cheaper!
