Gorgeous model and actress Liv Tyler already has a pretty impressive CV, but now she is set to make her singing debut in an advert for Givenchy, which the brand calls “an electrifying meeting between the world of rock and the universe of perfume.” 

Liv Tyler has been the face of Givenchy’s Very Irrésistible fragrance since it first launched in 2003, but now she is kicking her spokesmodel duties up a notch by teaming up with Sony Music Entertainment and music producer David Andrew Sitek for the project. Details for the collaboration are a little vague at the moment, but we do know that the track will be a cover of a very popular song – so the hairbrushes will be out in force for some lip-synching and air-grabbing on our part.

Liv and her Aerosmith frontman father (and more recently American Idol judge) Steven Tyler appear to have done some career switching, as he recently posed for the Andrew Muse clothing line – diversity and a multitude of talent obviously runs in the family.

We can’t wait to hear the song!

Gone are the days of handing over one simple framed photo as a gift.

Nowadays you aren’t limited to just one, and with Sony’s electronic photo frame, you can upload dozens of your Mum’s favourite photographs to create a slideshow of happy memories for her.

Thanks to its high resolution, this extra large frame has a super high quality screen to make your photographs look their best. Plus, you can add a soundtrack and videos, too.

With ‘Trublack’ techonology, it ensures high contrast with very little screen reflections and is controlled via remote for fool-proof easiness.

So if your Mum’s a bit of a techno-phobe then do the fiddly bit for her and upload all your old family holiday snaps onto this sleek and stylish frame. Then simply plug in and watch her melt at the memories.

It’s hard to believe that Westfield, London is already nearly a year old. It just goes to show that we’ve obviously not been shopping enough! London’s favourite shopping mall however, is set to change all that by celebrating their very first birthday in true style. The shopping centre will be creating a range of ‘fashion firsts’ on October 30th, inviting 280 retailers to introduce a ‘first’ to their store and exclusively to Westfield.

So, what should we keep our eye out for in the shops come the end of next week? Top of our list is the dazzling laptop from Sony’s Vaio P Series available at Micro Anvika. Encrusted with over 3,700  Swarovski crystals, this laptop is one-of-a-kind and will be on sale for the week at £2,999. Just think how much more fun working would be! This attention grabbing number comes with Windows Vista Home Premium and a built-in digital camera. But who really cares what it does when it looks that pretty?

We’ve also fallen for this Aspinal of London Biker Bag (£675) which is in-store now. The handmade piece of rock chick glam is created from snakeskin leather with a patent trim and has all the rivets, zips and chains that make this the biker bag of choice. This is turning out to be one expensive wishlist…

Shopping can be a tiring game, so it’s nice to take a break every once in a while – particularly when the pit stop is Searcy’s champagne bar and they’re giving away free gifts! Celebrating a year of bubbly at Westfield, Searcy’s are offering a ‘Moet bubble’ - a gold ball containing a special gift – to everyone that buys a glass. Expect trinkets galore, free glasses (or bottles) of champers, and even the odd complimentary meal!

Visit Westfield, London on October 30th for the full range of ‘fashion firsts’. We’ve heard Mimco, Australia’s leading accessories brand - have created their first ever shoe for the occasion; Radley are holding a ‘free bags for a year competition’ and Follie Follie have unveiled a European exclusive in their London boutique!

 Many happy returns to Westfield – it looks like it’s going to be a good celebration.
