The Weekend Report

After Easter I wouldn't be surprised if you're sick of chocolate, but KOKO by Cadbury have come up with an interesting new way to market chocolate. They've teamed up with Karin Herzog, creating a one-hour oxygen facial using KOKO chocolate.


Whoever said chocolate is bad for the skin clearly never had a chocolate facial... Find out more at Karin Herzog's website HERE.

I'm sure you're all aware by now that The Outnet will be celebrating it's first birthday next week by holding an invite only £1 sale. If you haven't registered yet head to The Outnet before April 11th. Those with Outnet accounts still need to register.


And finally, the big story of the week: SATC 2. The extended trailer has been released, and while it does look rather entertaining I still think it was best left at season six. Also why is there so little of New York? Sex and the City is nothing without the actual city.


The promo for the movie is clearly in full swing now, even though it's not released for another month. SJP is the cover star of US Vogue's May issue (see a preview HERE) and I'm sure there will be many more magazine covers to follow.
Are you excited about the movie? What do you think of the trailer?

It's Olivia vs Whitney Again

Last night both Olivia Palermo and Whitney Port attended the 7th Annual Spring Dinner Dance. I haven't heard of this event before, but it seems like quite a formal affair. Normally I like Olivia's style a lot more than Whitney's, but I'm not feeling the Ports 1961 dress on her. It looks like it's wearing her, not the other way around.



This isn't to say I adore Whitney's look though. I think it looks great above the wait, but the skirt lets it down. And, is it just me or does Whitney look like a younger Kelly Rutherford, who plays Lily in Gossip Girl? I can't watch her on GG without thinking she looks like Whitney.
Who do you think had the best Dinner Dance dress last night? Olivia? Whitney? Or did they both look pants?

He's The Man

It was my birthday two days ago, and today is Marc Jacobs' birthday. I take great pride in our shared star sign - according to Wikipedia "Aries is known as the pioneer of the Zodiac, and therefore, Ariens like to be first."

To celebrate Marc's birthday here is a great clip from the Marc Jacobs & Louis Vuitton documentary (buy it if you haven't seen it, it's sooo good) where he explains his healthy diet.



Enjoy Marc Jacobs day!

Mini Trend: Wings on Your Feet

The spring/summer 2010 collections feel like a lifetime ago. But the weather is only just allowing us to step into the S/S looks. One of my favourite mini trends for the season is wings on shoes.
Think back to last September, and you may remember the cute flats in Marc Jacobs' collection, which came with wings sewn onto the straps. Very cute.


While I haven't seen this look translate to the highstreet (yet) Vivienne Westwood is also into to wings. Creating a pair of winged-wedge-sandals, available from my-wardrobe.com.


I think the Marc Jacobs pair is more my style, but the Vivienne wedges are great to look at. I'd love to see someone walking down the street in a pair.
It's a look that's quite easy to do yourself too. Just grab some scraps of fabric, cut out some wings and sew them onto a pair of ballet flats or strappy sandals. And off you fly.
Will be putting wings on your feet this summer?

Carey's So Cool She Has Two Covers

When I saw Carey Mulligan's Wonderland cover last week it was love at first sight. But Wonderland isn't the only April issue she's covering, she's also gracing the cover of Interview magazine. I haven't bought Interview in quite a while, but I'll definitely be buying this issue.


Both editorials and covers are in black and white, but Wonderland's styling has a touch of sixties chic to it, whilst Interview is a little more punky. Carey is doing pretty well for magazine covers right now, as she recently graced Vanity Fair's Hollywood issue with Kristen Stewart and Abbie Cornish, and now she has two covers in the same month. I'd love to see her in UK ELLE sometime soon. Fingers crossed it happens...


Which of Carey's covers do you like the best? And what magazine do you see her popping up on next?

Happy Birthday

Today is my birthday. It's also Jackie Chan and Russel Crowe's birthday - but we don't celebrate together, sadly. I'll be taking a little break from blogging today, but here's a funny picture of me aged six, working the headband look way before Blair Waldorf. And my little brother, working the never-fashionable bowl-cut.

Give the Girl a Mulberry Bag

A few weeks ago I wrote about Olivia Palermo's love for her Mulberry Alexa bag. She has the large oak version, but was spotted last night with the nude lambskin Alexa clutch. Two Alexa bags? The girl has it all... Which is the better arm candy though; the Alexa clutch or her boyfriend, Johannes Huebl?


I said before that a Mulberry bag named after Olivia would be interesting. Opinion was split on whether she actually deserves a namesake bag yet. But I prefer Olivia's style to Alexa's anyway, so I'm all for it. And I think she's after an 'Olivia' bag, as she's been carrying Mulberry a lot lately. I guess we'll just see what happens.
And whilst I'm on the subject of clutch bags I'm currently really tempted to buy one. I don't travel light, even in the evening, so a clutch is majorly impractical for me. But there are some lovely styles around at the moment.


I really love the purple Dune clutch (from ASOS) which doesn't look too small. The Miu Miu (Net-A-Porter) and Preen (Matches) styles are also gorge. But a little out of budget.

Are you a fan of clutch bags, or do you tend to carry your life around with you like me?
