Flare Path star of the show


In all honesty, I was probably lured (or at least made aware) into seeing Flare Path, for the thought of seeing Sienna Miller in action. She comes across as a likeable, beautiful, successful girl next door who gets a hell of a bad time on the press and I wanted to see her acting, stripped bar, as opposed to on the big screen.

She looked fantastic and played her part well- I didn't think her character had much scope to stretch her acting abilities but whenever there was a slot to excel, I didn't think she orse the occasion as she could have done.

Sheridan Smith, however took the stage by storm, lavished in the limelight and made her character come to life. She was brilliant. I have no intentions of wanting to see Legally Blond at the theatre (even less so to see Duncan from Blue perform) but judging from her performance in Flare Path, it would be well worth a visit.

Style crush...Olivia Palermo


Olivia Palermo is not only beautiful, uber stylish and just happens to have hunk of a hot fellow on her arm but is also very sweet and unassuming. Contradictory to popular believe from her stint on 'The City'. Swoon!

The LOOK Show-newsy style







The LOOK Show took place at Victoria House, Bloomsbury Square yesterday, in conjunction with London Fashion week. Showcasing the best high street fashion combined with a star-studded front row, it's no wonder the tickets sold out in just a few hours.


Celebrities and high street fashionista's took the guest-list by storm, making it the third successful fashion show produced by LOOK magazine.


Fashionista of the moment Olivia Palmero was the highlight amongst the famous faces. Wearing a mustard mini dress, black blazer and on trend leopard print shoe boots, she looked every inch the part.


Amongst other celebs to attend were X-Factor winner Shayne Ward, TV Presenter Emma Willis and ex-Sugababes member Keisha Buchanan. 25-year old pop singer Marina Diamandis made a statement in a knitted jumper with sewn on mice, potent pink lips and grey streaks in her hair.


Jay-Z'S latest protégé, Alexis Jordan was a hit sensation, performing on the catwalk inbetween shows, then up and coming girl band Wonderland charmed crowds afterwards with their live performance.


Celebrating accessible, affordable trends, The LOOK show is the only fashion show open to consumers during London Fashion Week. Eleven of the hottest high street brands showcased their Spring/Summer collections. Brands walking the catwalk were Dorothy Perkins, French Connection, H&M, Marks & Spencer, Mango, Monsoon Fusion/Accessorize, New Look, Next, Uniqlo, River Island and Warehouse.


Bright block colours owned the runway and there was a clear comeback of the hippy 70's. World class model Petra Nemcova stole the show in a cream pleated French Connection maxi dress and winning smile.


In partnership with ITV, LOOK magazine has recently become the first publication to hold a curvy model competition where three of their voluptuous finalists took the catwalk by storm. Editor Ali Hall revealed the winner of the competition at the end of the show. Who won? That would be telling! That is, until next week...

Good old British manners (aka I'm a massive wimp!)

A chilled Saturday morning at the luxurious Cowshed at Shoreditch House. My friend (pictured here) opted for a relaxing french manicure- feet up, tv screen placed in front of her, spa type music wafting through the room- you know the way it works!

I chose the head and shoulder massage. Placed in a delicious smelling, soothing private room, the sensuous massage began to send me to the world of sleep..until- HANG ON, hang on- are you pulling my hair!? Ouch- yanked around in a circular movement which I can only assume was to relax me, had my eyes virtually streaming under the lavender eye mask. What do you do!? Do you let out a polite 'ouch' (and seem like a wimp), say 'oi!! that ruddy hurts!!' (and seem like a bitch), or do you just make it perfectly obvious by tensing everything you have, that this just isn't working for you? Which, ever the polite Brit, I chose to do,in the hope of it working. And soon!

'Is that a little hard for you Madam' the masseuse finally said.

'Oh perhaps just a little' I, the ever polite wimp replied.

Modern art


Andrej Pejic for Jean Paul Gaultier ? Brilliant.

Highly disturbing, intrigued or disgusted, love or hate. Fashion creating a controversial opinion- isn't that what art is meant to do.

Chav-ulous McQueens


Went to new groovy 'McQueens' in Shoreditch last night for fabulous cocktails- unfortunately ended up being rather more chav-ulous cocktails as they rather took over towards the end of the night. Dancing on desinger tables in short skirts that would make your Grandmother blush? No thankyou!

Still, at last the cocktails were yummy.
