Twice a year the entire fashion and beauty industry descends on Somerset House in London for 'the shows'. London is arguably the most inspirational of the all the fashion weeks and the much anticipated AW12 season kicks off tomorrow. We will be there, backstage, as usual and will be bringing you all the hair and make-up looks direct as they are created. Keep tuned into Beauty Notes Daily from tomorrow through Tuesday.

Meanwhile I'm heading home for a good nights sleep (something I miss during fashion week). The only decision I have to make tonight is what colour to paint my nails for Day 1. What one do you think I should go for?
