Dr Andrew conditioning lip balm with turmeric
With the practically-artic conditions we are facing at the moment rendering our poor lips dry, rough, chapped and in desperate need of some T.L.C there seemed no better time to road test Dr Andrew’s conditioning lip balm by ‘Origins’. This particular product claimed to ‘rapidly restore softness and smoothness to […]
Read MoreThe shade of spring? Electric blue. It’s electrifying!
Armand Basi One, Gucci, Michael Kors, DKNY. All have one thing in common: their prolific use of the shade to be seen in this sprin – electric blue. Fitting in fabulously with fashion’s current obsession with all things 80’s (without being as garish as the neon shades saturating the revival), the colour adds a classic intensity […]
Read MoreBeauty road test: Tigi Catwalk Fast-Fixx Leave In-Conditioner Spray
At some point, every single one of us needs a magic wand hair product to fix a hair emergency. For me it starts when I pull my head from the pillow, finally turn off the alarm that has been on snooze for 40 minutes, rub the sleep from my eyes […]
Read MoreBig Wardrobe.com – the new way to shop!
With Fashion Week upon us, it is time to get wrapped up in the big dresses, the big names, and the big money. London Fashion Week will be kicking off in the next few days, and expectations are mounting, but for the founders of Big Wardrobe, focus will be lent not to […]
Read MoreVictoria Beckham unveils her latest collection for AW09
Shoot me now. I’m actually considering buying a dress or two from Victoria Beckham’s AW09 collection. Thumbs up to the Posh one. I personally think in these economic times her collection might actually thrive, and I’m saying this despite the fact that Victoria’s collection goes against everything Anna Wintour
Read MoreNew York Fashion Week: Herve Leger by Max Azria AW09
Not one, not two, not three…..but four models fell at Herve Leger yesterday! Damn that slippery runway. But, not even stick thin models attempting to regain their balance or even the star studded front row (Lucy Liu, Sophia Bush, Michelle Tractenberg and Joy Bryant) could have distracted from the collection.
Read MoreBarbie reigns supreme
I love fashion, and I love the catwalks. But I felt suspicious and concerned when the announcement was made that Barbie would be having her own catwalk show. I could not understand what on earth a 50 year old plastic doll could have to offer other than as an advertisement […]

Read MoreFeel the LOVE
The moment we’ve all been waiting for: the first issues of LOVE have been released. It’s a very exciting affair. In a mad frenzy the magazines were grabbed, and a fashionista blood bath ensued. A slightly calmer scene (by this I mean before crowds were allowed into the store, after […]
Read MoreDon’t worry New York Topshop is on its’ way
Topshop; the fabulous, wonderful, loved by all store has been promising a US move for a long time. A New York launch was all set for October last year, then it was put back until November and then put off until further notice. Well that notice has come and the […]
Read MoreTemperley London Golden Apple Bag
We’ve seen our fair share of bizarrely shaped bags adorning the arms of celebrities of late. SJP started the ball rolling with her Timmy Woods Eiffel Tower bag in the Sex and the City movie. Then, last month Lily Allen stepped out with a rather ingenious Russian doll bag by […]

Read MoreNew York Fashion Week: Lela Rose AW09
With not a trouser in sight, Lela Rose was an orgasmic explosion of colour and romance. The collection began with tweed skirts paired with ribbed cashmere sleeved tops and finished with sleeveless cropped jackets cinched at the waist. Now, I’m not a fan of tweed at the best of times […]
Read MoreJennifer Love Hewitt to launch clothing line?
How to tell when a celeb is about to launch a clothing line? They’re usually spotted front row at fashion week busy taking notes. Jennifer Love Hewitt was doing just that at the Edition by Georges Chakra show yesterday. Accompanied by stylist Phillip Bloch, Jennifer looked like she was having […]

Read MoreLindsay Lohan at Charlotte Ronson AW09
Being that I’m suffering from serious jet-lag, I was so tired I forgot to post the pics of Lindsay Lohan up in the DJ booth with Sam Ronson at the Charlotte Ronson show. The lighting was really bad so the pics are quite blurry…. (another pic after the jump)
Read MoreNew York Fashion Week: BCBGMAXAZRIA AW09
2009 marks the 20th anniversary of BCBGMAXAZRIA and I was really looking forward to the show. Sadly, I was disappointed. For me, knowing what your client wants is the most important ingredient in a collection. Right now, the BCBG woman most likely has a desire to feel sexy and powerful […]
Read MoreNew York Fashion Week: Charlotte Ronson AW09
Of course, it was a family affair at Charlotte Ronson. Mum, brother and sister turned up to show their support with Lindsay Lohan in tow who posed for the paps in the DJ booth with Sam. On a side note someone needs to feed Lohan a burger or two.
Read MoreNew York Fashion Week: Yigal Azrouel AW09
I loved this show, not only because my idol Andre Leon Talley was seated front row but because I could have worn every single piece from the collection. With our shopping habits evolving from frivolously spending to wisely investing, Yigal Azrouel carefully crafted a smallish collection packed with gems. Stovepipe […]

Read MoreBeauty road test: Darphin instantly radiant hydrating and brightening eye care
This product comes with some rather ambitious claims, such as: ‘instantly revives radiance around the eyes and disguises signs of fatigue’. This sounded like music to my ears after the pro-longed partying which accompanied Christmas and New Year had taken its toll! I’d heard good things about Darphin, so was […]

Read MoreThe return of the supermodel: Jerry Hall for Chanel
We told you that due to the very mean and evil credit crunch that designers would be turning to more commercial, established models rather than taking risks with ‘new faces’ or paying the fees of those catwalk strutters. But the shining light at the end of the tunnel is that […]
Read MoreLet them wear Louboutin’s
The original fashionista Marie Antoinette set a few trends in her day, and it looks like she’ll be setting a few more, thanks to shoe maestro Christian Louboutin. Yes the flamboyant wife of the equally flamboyant Louis XVI is going to bring some light relief to all this economic gloom. […]

Read MoreLondon Fashion Week is on the move

Does anyone know what a micro-optic luminizer is? How about a brightening complex? No? Oh well, this moisturizer has them both. The gist is that they’re supposed to brighten the skin, boost its clarity, even your skin tone and give it a translucent appearance. That’s all you really wanted to […]

No, don’t worry it’s nothing blasphemous, just very very sexy. For the March issue of W Magazine, Madonna (who refuses to age) stars in a seriously saucy shoot with model Jesus Luz. The very gorgeous 22-year-old model Jesus is rumoured to be Madonna’s tomboy. And we can report that they […]
Read MoreLittle Pixie Geldof lands the cover of Vogue Italia
This is a surprising turn for the fashion bible. Vogue Italia is generally considered to be the most elegant of all the major Vogue titles, boasting great stylists and forward thinking shoots. It therefore comes as a bit of a shock to see Pixie Geldof draped on the front cover. […]
Read MoreTisserand Organic Tea-Tree and Mandarin Lip Butter
I’ve decided I’m going to lobby Trading Standards. I want them to make it compulsory for cosmetic companies to put nutritional information on lip balms. I consume enough of the stuff, I really should know how many calories are in it. Infact, maybe that’s where my new year diet is […]
Read MoreUpdate your winter wardrobe in one easy step
All this talk of investment buying during the credit crunch just seems to be an excuse for the ladies that lunch to buy more couture. But for those of us on smaller budgets looking for a way to make our winter wardrobe stretch just that bit further, the fashion world has […]
Read MoreTrend Alert: Leotard Ladies!
Wordsmith Lady Gaga recently retorted “it‘s never too cold for a leotard. It seems the music world may well be in agreement with this statement. Previously an item worn only by schoolchildren at dance classes, the leotard has been experiencing a revival of late.
Read MoreCome Winter, Come Summer, Rock A Perforated Number!
For a minute, last summer, I was firmly convinced that an upheaval in Thom Browne’s sockless trend was on the cards. The Sartorialist and Face Hunter had spotted a few dandies about Europe who were oddly sporting ankle socks with their lace-ups as opposed to venturing out sockless and, upon […]

Dolce and Gabbana are fashion geniuses, they are perhaps even style gods, but priests? Looks like there’s nothing the design duo can’t do.
