A few more Christmasy things to do in London
Since I am going away for holidays tomorrow, I thought I might suggest a few more festive things to do in London for those of you who will stay here and celebrate Christmas.
Why don’t you start with an ice skating session at the Somerset House? Being presented by Tiffany’s this year, the Somerset ice rink wins by default. You could continue with a cup of real hot chocolate at...

Karlie is super skinny. But she's a supermodel....
Karlie Kloss and her already famous apparition in Vogue Italia have caused a lot of buzz around those controversial pictures. Many crazy girl posted the photos on pro-anorexia blogs and probably starved themselves even more at the sight of Karlie’s legs. I’ve been one of those girls as well.

Carey Mulligan and Leonardo DiCaprio will star in Baz Luhrmann’s Great Gatsby and so I cannot think of a better way to inject some veritable glamour in your New Year’s party outfit than with a 20s inspired dress. Forget about the long pearl necklace, gloves and the flapper dress. Designers have reinvented 20s for...

Does skinny mean happy?
If you’re thinking of, or already dieting to squeeze into that perfect bodycon dress for New Year’s, think again. I’ve been the queen of diets. Tried them all, starved myself and went to hell and back just to fit in the smallest size possible. I have a huge pile of books ranging from macrobiotic diets to the Karl Lagerfeld way and those so called “healthy eating habits that...

The new lady by net-a-porter
I am completely in love with the Net-a-porter online magazine. And this week they seem to have read my mind and put together the most exquisite editorial of lady-like outfits, called ‘the new lady’. All their suggestions are perfect for the upcoming office and formal Christmas parties you might attend. They even work for a family gathering where grandparents, aunts and uncles are going...
