Cara Delevingne rules at LFW – and highlights fact the super is no more

Posted on February 19, 2013 by D in Fashion News, Fashionfreude | Leave a comment

There was barely a catwalk that went untrodden by Cara Delevingne this London Fashion Week. Her rise from snub-nosed ingenue to model of the moment has been whirlwind. Last season she was big news. This season she was THE news. Show reports went in on her opening, or closing. Newspapers and websites were replete with stories about her off-stage antics. As one Cara’d-out friend put it, ‘Cara goofs around! Cara eats burgers! Cara has friends! Cara breathes!’. But for me, … →

Happy Christmas one and all. Now take me somewhere hot before I dissolve

Posted on December 28, 2012 by D in Fashionfreude, Festivefreude, Homefreude | Leave a comment

Just before Christmas I said I’d post about my homemade holly wreath. There was a whole painful saga behind it: from discovering you had to pay £20 for a wilting wreath at homebase and B&Q through multiple holly-gathering missions and torturous sessions with gardening twine and secateurs as I wrestled the holly into some sort of circular form. Anyway, it’s a little too late for it to be of any use, but I have to post it given the blood … →

Festive Kirsty moment: Making a mini Christmas tree scene

Posted on December 21, 2012 by D in Fashionfreude, Festivefreude, Homefreude | Leave a comment

Earlier this week, in a completely as yet unheard of move, I got all festive on a few baby Christmas trees from Tesco and did THIS: I’d seen the idea on a design blog and loved it – and making decorations at Christmas always makes me feel so much more festive than buying it (don’t get me wrong, I love to buy shit too of course). My theory is that precious time + effort = maximum enjoyment of result (and … →

Things no one tells you about your fancy caviar manicure before you get it done

Posted on December 11, 2012 by D in Beautyfreude, Fashionfreude | Leave a comment

1) 33% of the balls will have fallen off before you get to wherever it was you wanted to show off your new nails. 2) A large majority of the rest will fall off every time you undo a button, open a can of drink, get something out of your bag, rearrange your hair, wash your hands. Need I go on? 3) Just enough will remain, stuck stubbornly fast, that you will have them clinging to your nails for a … →

Ice skating? Let the festive season begin!

Posted on November 28, 2012 by D in Fashionfreude, Festivefreude | Leave a comment

The ice skating season is here – and we have tested out literally every rink in London. Somerset House is undoubtedly the most romantic. Beautiful, historical building and good quality skates – none of your plastic welly boots here, making it easier to bust out your best moves. Excellent mince pies – mulled wine a touch too sweet. Unrivalled new addition of christmas shopping boutiques: quirky little stores selling British products, from sexy fedoras to pigeon lights and designer jewellery. … →

Dollface: Elizabeth Taylor’s a Barbie girl

Posted on November 24, 2012 by D in Fashion News, Fashionfreude | Leave a comment

Is it so wrong to be in your mid-twenties (ahem, ok, thirties) and coveting a Barbie doll for Christmas? Surely not when it’s an Elizabeth Taylor Barbie which, apart from its oddly long giraffe neck, is darn fabulous. Mattel have released two Liz dolls – White Lace and Violet Eyes – to commemorate the Hollywood legend’s life, and they come with spare jewels (of course), a script, and shoes (what no miniature bottle of vodka?). White Liz is $125 and … →

Making of a supermodel: Kate Moss’s first ever photoshoot pics sell at auction for £5,700

Posted on November 24, 2012 by D in Artfreude, Fashionfreude | Leave a comment

She was 14, and was yet to take part in that Corinne Day photoshoot on the beach that would mark the beginning of her stratospheric rise to fame. But even before that fateful day with Day (which Kate, who was asked to pose topless, recently confessed she cried her way through), she sat for some test shots in 1988 with snapper David Ross. Of herself at that time, Kate has said in the New York Post: ‘I wasn’t the prettiest girl … →

Toast triptych: almond butter, peanut butter and Marmite (natch)

Posted on November 18, 2012 by D in Fashionfreude, Foodfreude | Leave a comment

It’s a November Sunday morning, it’s a bit chilly outside, the wintry sun is shining in through the window… and I’m home alone with a loaf of oat pave from the Richmond Hill Bakery and an espresso machine (best not mention Magic FM and Enrique Iglesias). Bliss. So what to eat? A tribute to my one of my absolute favourite foods: toast. One with almond butter, one with peanut butter, the last with Marmite (what breakfast is complete without it?). And crucially, … →
