Oh to be Jessica Alba! The yummiest Mummy tinsel town has ever seen, Alba manages to floor us every time with her effortless off-duty looks. Case in point this all-white ensemble spotted on the honey-limbed star whilst out and about in New York last week.

Hello dear friends!
I apologise for my absence of late. I’ve been in Ibiza, you see. On a hen party.
Did you hear me? I went to Ibiza! Where, like, trendy people go? They like get villas n shit? And they go to sunset bars and look good after a day at the beach? Yuh?
That was me …
It’s sad times, folks. The shed and I are parting ways…..
Heading out for dinner this weekend? Well, let me recommend Jamie Oliver’s new gaff, Union Jacks in Chiswick, which just opened last month. There’s one in Covent Garden; in fact, as you’ll be aware, Jamie Oliver restaurants, like Leon or Pret, have been popping up left, right and centre for the last few years. Resistance …
Thank the Hollywood stars that we can indulge in some sunny fashion eye-candy, even when our own dear Isles produce nothing but showers! California’s Coachella festival never fails to provide a parade of uber stylish celebs soaking up the California rays whilst listening to some of the biggest acts in music. It was no easy feat selecting …
A few weeks ago I was changing the sheets on my bed.
Without warning, something underneath my right shoulder blade exploded agonisingly down my back and up into my neck. “Arghhh,” I whispered, immediately paralysed.
The Man, who was next door, either didn’t hear or took no notice. He is used to my dramatic noises.
“Arghhhh,” I repeated, …

(…or if you’re in love, show me!) Three words. My Fair Lady. Or rather Ms Hepburn in My Fair Lady, sick to death of being treated like a trussed up parrot with a parasol and made to repeat ‘the rain in spain’ endlessly she abandons erudite Dr Higgins (albeit rather briefly) for Freddy. A guy …
As far as mornings go, this one’s been a good one for me. Viewing the summer collections of killer nail brand nailsinc, the question is what aren’t they doing? Olympic metallics, magnetic nail art, funked up glitters, a revolutionary new sheer collection, plus (and this is where nail polish addicts might lose it altogether) an …
Well, it happened. Publication day came and went. My book (pictured – once only, I promise) is out there, in the world. Feck!
I didn’t knob up my radio interviews too horribly, although I did have an awkward moment when one of the presenters made some gag involving my name. The gag was clearly designed to …
I’M READY! Ok, I’m leaving for my Californian adventure (culminating with a weekend at Coachella) in the morning and I’m still not packed, but look! My feet are ready! I spent the day running around like a headless chicken (a big trip wouldn’t be a big trip without losing your head the day before) so …
The countdown to my Coachella trip is on…! I leave this Wednesday, so naturally I spent the weekend frantically shopping for dark sunglasses (do you know the celeb count at this festival? If you can’t beat em, join em) sandals (that will detract from my pasty white legs) and sunscreen (erm, ditto). I also stopped …
Sorry for long silence. (shall put that on my epitaph)
When I was twelve I wrote the lyrics for a song which began with the line above. Let’s just say it together, atmospherically:
Hush…. There’s a deathly hush all around….
Oh, it was a classic. A few lines later it went “There’s gonna be a riot if it stays this quiet…” I mean, I was destined to …
