I’ve never been a nail biter but sometimes I feel I have the hands of an old lady - they get so dry from handling fabrics and dragging luggage around all day.

I am obssessd with looking after my hands, and I’ve been using Solar Oil for my cuticles and nails for years. For hand creams, I tend to use several products depending on my mood, from Glam Blam and Bliss to Creme de la Mer. I never put hand cream on when I’m working (which is when I need it most) as I’m afraid I’ll get it on the fabrics.

Teresa Smith from Nails at Work painted these nails! I love deep shades of red but I can’t resist dark blues and purples!

I love having manicures: it’s quite a treat for me. Nails at Work offers mobile manicures so if a group of girls are off to a party you could all get a mini manicure while you’re still at work. Of course it would be even nicer if it was the boss’ treat!

I think the most recent fashion design that’s so over before it’s even begun is Manolo Blahnik’s slingback shoes – for men! In all truth I think they’re great and would love to use them in a shoot. I just can’t see them catching on for the masses - but do we really care about the masses? These shoes are for the true fashionisto. I’m sure I’m going to see them on some handsome men in London this summer.
There are several other shoes in the collection that I think are fabulous and great for most men. A word of advice though, please get a pedicure. (BLOWW does a pedicure especially for men). It’s so disgusting to be in the tube and see so many awful looking feet and overgrown toe nails. No matter how stylish you look if you’ve neglected a basic grooming routine you can never look good!
The collection is available in London in February 2008.
Manolo Blahnik
49-51 Old Church Street
Chelsea, London, SW3 5BS

I contribute regularly to Celebrity Style - Lily Allen:
I love that fame hasn’t changed Lily’s personal style: she’s just expanded her wardrobe and slimmed down from a size 12 to an 8. This Chanel dress is perfect for her shape and shows off her curves. The sequence detail on the rib cage creates a slimming effect, the bow and halter neck are quite sexy. The red nails, red lips and Chanel clutch add a touch of glamour, reminding us of starlets of past decades. The star jewellery is fun and keeps the look youthful. This look is all about a girl with personal style and Lily’s got it in spades!

“You have to hand it to Boy George. Although the karma chameleon has a
court case looming (for drug possession and filing a false police
report), he still managed to fly to London to stage the debut of
B-Rude. The label, which has shown twice in New York already.” www.fuk.co.uk

I love seeing Billy Idol influenced/inspired dressing

This lady is a hat designer take a look at her long nails!

The Audience

For some reason all the models look like ghosts on my mobile
