I’ve decided I’m officially obsessed with Twitter. Forget Facebook, that’s like sooooo 2008. I’m now getting down with the kids and twittering my every thought and frantically checking throughout the day in case anyone exciting has updated their status or added a twitpic.
I’m still relatively new to the Twitterati but, in case you’re interested, I’m following 55 people (about 50 of those are celebrities) and who’s following me? Well there are only 38 people (one of which is a celebrity – errrr well, Gok Wan if you can call him a celebrity) the rest are friends or work colleagues.
I follow John Mayor in the vain hope he’ll speak about his love life but he continues to bore me with his random musings. C’mon Mr love them and leave them Mayor I want some dirt on Aniston.
I follow comedians as such as Jimmy Carr and Alan Carr – you can count on both of them to bring a smile to my face.
What I hate is when you can tell a celebrity’s posts are purely for PR. Lauren Conrad uses her twitter account for this and it makes me want to scream Yes Lauren I know your book is out in the shops NOW, but no I won’t be buying it.
I was completely hooked when celebrity blogger Perez Hilton and Will.I.am from the Black Eyed Peas had a public spat and made it even more public on Twitter, and I loved how other fellow celebrities rallied their support for one side. For the record I was very much Team Will.I.am.
I love Alexa Chung, she’s in New York at the moment filming her new MTV show. It’s on with Alexa. She’s funny and quirky. And she posts pictures of her new Chanel shoes…
Nicole Richie makes me laugh; she posts great little YouTube videos. Yesterday she posted about how she can’t wait for The September Issue, the video documentary about Vogue Editor Anna Wintour. Now, I for one cannot wait to watch that.
If you haven’t already jointed the twitter elite then what are you waiting for, it’s nonsense really but it’s a little bit of fun. You get a glimpse into someone else’s world without being intrusive.
If you want to be reminded about my next blog, or care about what I’ve had for my lunch, or what I’ve just purchased, or who’s annoying me in the office then follow me on twitter.

It’s great to be feeling rested and recharged after a fabulous week in Greece… and I have to say if you’re looking for a little Mediterranean paradise for a shoot-the island of Evia had some gorgeous quiet little beaches with water so clear it was like swimming in a pool!
But rest time is over and it was back to the grind. On the Eurostar to Paris I went with a few of my top assistants to work on Qasimi’s first show presentation for Men’s Fashion week. The theme was focus on God and Enlightenment. It was a great installation, with video footage from their fashion shoot in Ibiza in the background.
Qasimi’s team said they had over 150 models show up for their 10 hour casting session in Paris. The models they choose in the end were a fab international mix of men from Germany, Portugal, NY, Belgium, Brazil & London. I was sponsored by the fabulous Makeup Forever. A leading brand in France but a little more exclusive to find in the UK but you can purchase Makeup Forever at Guru Makeup Emporium. I would recommend checking them out; they have some wonderful products.
I fell in love with their HD foundations. It was like applying a second skin face fabric. I also used their full coverage foundations in the darker tones to warm up the boys cheeks like a cream bronzer. A touch of black mascara was added to their lashes and lips had a touch of clear gloss. The models looked polished and handsome. Mirrors were a big embellishment on a lot of the clothes. On two of the models we attached the mirrors to their chests with eyelash glue which gave a spectacular reflective effect.
Check our review of the Qasimi show at Fashion 156 and Fashion Insider.
Next up for me and Qasimi, I’ll be designing the makeup looks for this up coming September London Fashion week show… watch this space!!

Fashion.Music.Style is working on it’s 4th issue now. We go quarterly and the magazine has gone national through Borders for this issue! This issue is almost 50% bigger and the A5 size works very well as it’s perfect for housing the free 16 track cd. It’s rapidly becoming one of those magazines you want to buy, especially when you live outside the UK, so you can really see what is really happening on the music scene here.
Little Boots, Victoria Hesketh was great to work with. She’s got a strong style and she’s super cute with tiny size 3 feet! The hat she’s wearing is super cool Justin Smith Esquire and the dress is by Couture Clubbing.
Little Boots looks cute as a brunette but she looks great as a blond and now it’s hard to imagine her any other way. Styling makes a difference!

Sequines is everywhere this summer and this one is only £65 and the leggings are £18. I love this trend as it never really seems to go away.
Love the domino print - it’s only £45!
London is known for it’s great high street and Evans has always offered plus size fashion on trend - but overall there aren’t many affordable on trend plus size ranges. Over the past few season retailers are getting wise to the plus size market: New Look has Inspire, Forever 21 has plus-size line, Faith 21 and Target has Pure Energy.
Beth Ditto for Evans launches on July 9th!
