Style & The City

The 4 best friends who turned New York into the hottest and sexiest city in the world are back in town. We missed them and they are back with a movie that is all about style, fashion and of course - a lot of LOVE.




Carrie Bradshaw is a style muse. A fashionable icon born out of writer Candace Bushnell's imagination (& some say she's even her alter-ego image) you so easily forget she's fiction. Her outrageously imaginative outfits (the brilliant work of style genius Patricia Fields), her hair, her 'Carrie' personality… all that together forms the lovable character we can all relate to and of course we all want her entire wardrobe!






Carrie Bradshaw (so perfectly captured by the wonderful Sarah Jessica Parker) is only one character out of four who together form the favorite TV foursome of 'Sex & the City'. The HBO comedy, based on the columns of Candace Bushnell shows us these lovely single women who are anything but desperate… they're sexy, smart, well-dressed, well-paid and they are all 'shopping' for men through New-York City unsuccessfully searching for the right guy. And so, for six wonderful seasons the vixen PR executive Samantha (Kim Cattrall), cynical corporate lawyer Miranda (Cynthia Nixon), the NY sex-columnist Carrie (SJP) & elegant art gallery curator Charlotte (Kristin Davis) became our best friends, involving us in every aspect of their life.





Although the show ended (sadly…) the charming foursome are now back in our lives in the new 'Sex & the City movie' reminding us just how much we've missed those fab ladies! For the world premiere of their movie, the girls showed up looking amazing; Sarah Jessica Parker was wearing a beautiful Alexander McQueen's green strapless chiffon gown with a quirky-unique Philip Treacy hat. Kim Cattrall looked radiant in a bright red asymmetrical dress by Vivienne Westwood. Red was also Kristin Davis's choice that looked delightful in a vintage Guy Laroche couture dress. The most daring look of all belongs to Cynthia Nixon; the most conservative dressed of the quartet onscreen, she chose a glowing dark blue gown with a revealing neckline slashed to the waist by Calvin Klein.




Just another incentive to be excited to see the new wardrobes & Carrie's new surprising outfits, it is reported she has 81 different new outfits for us to crave! The arty Fields honors some of the biggest names of the fashion world like Roberto Cavalli, Chanel, Prada, Dolce & Gabbana, Blumarine, Dior etc. using their miraculous designs in the shape of crazy hats, geometric prints, amazing coats, dresses, skirts and more to dress up our stylish heroines, and introducing a new talent (soon to be in every celebrities closet); designer Timmy Woods who designed the cute tote bags Carrie's sporting around shaped like the Eiffel tower & a custom made horse's head.



It is a real wonder we knew how to get dressed before …


Carrie, Samantha, Miranda & Charlotte, 'Sex & the City' heroines are back & they are sexier, more stylish & feistier than ever. Exactly how we love them…

Paris Hilton - a lazy party slut!

Foo Fighters lead singer Dave Grohl has slammed Paris Hilton as a "lazy party slut" and "f**king lame," in an interview with the Sun newspaper.




"She's more offensive to me than anything. She's a total, raging, disgusting, rich, lazy party slut. I pray that my daughter will not turn out like her."



Grohl's comments came following her appearance at the Emmy's, where she was allegedly seen stumbling from the venue, aided by her bodyguards.

Chloe Sevigny In Style

Since her screen debut in 1995’s gritty indie flick “Kids”, something about Sevigny has made the public sit up and pay attention. By the time she was recognised for her Oscar nominated performance in 1999’s “Boys Don’t Cry”, she was a fully fledged star, and the fashion industry could not get enough of her. But the one time wannabe-designer’s inimitable style had been picked up long before she was embraced by the who’s who of Hollywood. Before her acting career took off, Sevigny was featured in a 7 page feature in New Yorker magazine on Hip Manhattan Street culture, which led to a covetable modelling career including a Miu Miu campaign, and her being featured in a string of music videos including one for the Lemonheads. Her sense of style, it seems, has always come as second nature, and was by no means manufactured by a Hollywood career.



In fact, the actress is known to pay no mind to trends, stylists, or the fashion world in general. Her style is completely her own. As Balenciaga designer Nicolas Ghesquiere put it: “Whether she wears designer clothes or vintage clothes, they always look like Chloe Sevigny clothes”.


Indeed, it is this blend of thrift shop bargains and designer brand pieces that seem to epitomise Sevigny’s distinctive look – the industry dubbed “vintage-chic”; a look that has whipped the fashion conscious into a frenzy of late, as they struggle to mimic the actresses innate style. But Sevigny is far from fond of her iconic status: “For some reason the public has embraced me as a fashion icon, and I feel like it has diminished me as an actress, or I don’t get as much recognition as an actress”, complained the star, “and that upsets me”.

But it is just this apparent indifference and effortlessness to her style of dress that has the fashion industry in awe, and that makes it so difficult to achieve for fashion followers. Sevigny, it appears, will always be at least two, or three, or even four steps ahead of the fashion pack: “Every time I see a photo of myself from the past month I think, ‘what was I thinking?’” confessed the actress in a recent interview. Her crazes are fleeting and her look changes as quickly as most of us change our underwear, making her maddeningly, yet endearingly inimitable.


Sevigny is a red carpet favourite, appearing at all the events to be seen at in beautiful designer dresses, but always with her own signature twist. At the recent Cartier Santos Night party, she coupled a flowy, white Balenciaga knee length dress with brown ankle boots. Her yellow Louis Vuitton (incidentally one of her favourite designers) dress she wore for the M A C Viva Glam benefit, for whom she is a spokeswoman, featured a bikini-esque revealing top, which dropped into a figure hugging pencil skirt style from the waist. But Sevigny insists that the glossy, designer look we see on the red carpet is not at all her own. Instead, the actress insists her wardrobe is stocked almost entirely from thrift and vintage stores, with the occasional conventional separate thrown in for good measure.


Unlike most Hollywood starlets, you won’t find Sevigny meandering down Rodeo Drive on her shopping sprees. You are more likely to spot the independent actress in quirky stores such as C Madeline’s Showroom; a vintage store in Miami that stocks almost 100 years worth of the finest vintage clothing from all the greats, such as Gucci, Bill Blass, Halston and even designers dating back to Victorian times!


Throughout her impressive young career, Sevigny has also lent her expertise to the hugely successful clothing label “Imitation of Christ” (which counts Scarlett Johansson as one of it’s biggest fans), which has received widespread acclaim from the industry, and has appropriately been referred to as “the fashion industry’s answer to independent film”. Another feather in the cap of the woman who has repeatedly been placed in the much coveted ‘best dressed’ lists of all the big industry bibles, Vogue and Bazaar to name but two; and we’re talking top three here, at least. Pretty impressive from the girl who admits she always wore short shorts to divert attention away from her face.


It’s this fascinating mix of modesty and incredibly self-assured strength and confidence in what she does, and more importantly, what she wears, that makes Chloe Sevigny one of today’s most impressive fashion icons. Although her look is one that may never translate directly to the high street (I don’t see myself wearing a wedding dress over a leopard print leotard any time soon), let it at least inspire us to inject that little bit of different into our Autumn ’05 wardrobes!

Lucy Liu In Style

There's a school of thought that would say that TV series Ally McBeal did for office wear what John Galliano once did for a fast-dating Dior - infused it with some spunk, some flair, and some seriously sexy models to kick a once-conceived 'boring' clothing sector into the cutting edge fashion world. And nobody wore corporate-chic better than Lucy Liu's ferociously foxy Ling Wu; who sported her trouser suits, sharp shirts and spiked stilettos with some serious edge, and a whole heap of attitude.


Lucy Liu had arrived, and when the series lent her an almost instantaneous style queen status, the actress didn't disappoint. With her quirky, freckled Asian looks, amazing hair and perfectly petite figure, it's hardly surprising that Liu can make almost anything look good. She is rarely if ever seen looking anything but sleek and glamorous, developing a trademark look of grooming and sophisticated elegance. She appears to have that rare, invaluable ability to combine old-school movie star glamour with cutting edge trends, and all the top designers can't get enough clothes on that back.



One of her more scene stealing numbers was the red and black one shoulder Versace gown she wore to the 72nd academy awards, which launched the actress on almost every best-dressed-at-the-Oscars list to be seen on. The beautiful fish tailed gown was beaded in a graphic swirl design, and was set off to perfection by red snakeskin sandals, and of course Liu's own sleek, jet-black locks.



But this style jackpot was by no means a one-off for the actress who first gained public attention (from the male public anyway) playing a dangerously sexy dominatrix in the movie "Payback". It's difficult to pinpoint the best-dressed moments of a woman who never seems to be anything but. Take for example her 2005 Milan Fashion Week outfit - simple yet stunning black, knee-length Versace; accessorised modestly with amazing Bulgari earrings and teetering peeptoe black heels. Just one more example of her simplicity-with-style fashion formula that never seems to let her down.

And of course, Liu takes her stylishness across the board, appearing in some of the 'coolest' movies being made. Who could forget her in Quentin Tarantino's "Kill Bill", and she certainly hit the blockbuster mark in "Charlie's Angels" with friends Cameron Diaz and Drew Barrymore. When she made a cameo as herself in the style series of our time "Sex and the City", remember how she wore the then must-have "J'adore Dior" tank top - the storyline based around her reluctance to give up her Hermes birkin…..

Jennifer Aniston In Style

Aniston, who ranks as “the world’s most popular celebrity” according to Forbes, began her journey through the style halls of fame as the face accompanying an immensely famous haircut. “The Rachel” became one of the most copied styles of the time, and was pivotal in raising Aniston’s profile on the style scene.


But as the cut grew out and the star grew bigger, attention shifted from the actress’ amazing ‘do towards her emerging trademark dress style; throwing up phrases like “funky chic”, “classic elegance” and “tailored sophistication”.



From here, she has gone on to become one of the most stylish and inspirational women in Hollywood, with an easy, almost self-depreciating manner that compliments if not accentuates the star’s impeccable tastes. Like many celebrity’s who find themselves becoming benchmarks of the fashion world, Aniston admits that her new trendsetter status has come as something of a surprise, “I just find it ironic and hilarious that if there’s any truth to that, that to be any kind of a role model for style or clothes…is hilarious”, quips the star, “I have no sense of style”.



But the rest of the world begs to differ. When the actress landed the ultimate accessory in 1998, marrying Brad Pitt, designers lined up to design the wedding dress. Jen ultimately decided on Milan based American designer Lawrence Steele, who hit perfection with a floor length white silk tulle halter dress encrusted with tiny pearls. Complemented with Manolo Blahnik ivory suede skinny strap sandals, and of course, a hotter than hot groom, the whole event reflected perfectly Jennifer’s classy, understated taste. The couple continued to do the impossible throughout their 7 year marriage – pull off his ‘n’ hers outfits, without looking crass.

Even when the marriage tragically ended earlier this year, Aniston maintained and continues to maintain her poise and style panache, further deepening the public’s respect and admiration for the chic 35 year old.


When Aniston broke away from her signature style slightly at last years Emmy’s, wearing a blue vintage Halston dress, there were mixed reports from the fashion world. But it appeared to be a one off event, and the actress appeared at the 2005 event (pre-breakup) with Pitt, coupling her natural California-girl glow with a semi-empire, beaded chiffon Chanel number that saw a return to her trademark form.


Jennifer Aniston knows what suits her, and she wears it well. From city shorts with teetering espadrilles, to tailored Galliano suits with oversized accessories; from jersey dresses with knee high boots, to streamlined, neutral coloured gowns with super-straight locks, Jennifer exudes a classic, conservative and yet individualistic style that is so superstar and yet so achievable for the average copycat like me.


“Someone will tell me when it’s not ok to wear midriff, right?” worried the actress in a recent interview with Vogue.

That’s not a skirt, that’s belt-Celebrity Slappers

JORDANThe ‘big momma’ of the glamour girls-in more ways than one. Uses men’s eternal fascination with football-shaped objects to gain attention and has had no fewer than three breast augmentations to propel her to fame. Flashes her assets whenever the occasion calls for it and is, consequently, never very far from the gossip columns. A brain seems to lurk behind that silicone faƧade, however, and she’s managed to stay fresh in the public mind by giving birth to baby Harvey, writing her autobiography and appearing on ‘I’m a Celebrity…’ as well as snaring Peter Andre.



Pity JODIE MARSH couldn’t take a few tips from her. Originally touted as a rival to Jordan, this pretender to the throne appears to lack anything except real mammaries-a fact she was kind enough to point out to everyone by scrawling the word ‘Real’ across them. This girl would strip at the cutting of a ribbon (no Jodie, we said SNIP) and, after making headlines with her ‘two-belts-for-a-top’ outfit, repeated the stunt at the FHM Sexiest Woman awards using three belts. We defy you to guess where the third was. Happily, real stars are now wise to her game and The Rock snubbed her at his latest movie opening, saying ‘Who is this person?’ Maybe she will eventually give up, go home and put some knickers on.


Another professional party girl, PARIS HILTON, was known for nothing besides her surname-until the now-infamous video of her engaging in man’s favourite pastime was splashed across the internet by her ex. Suddenly, she became a household name and by hiring decent PR in the aftermath proved that all publicity can be good publicity-Paris has since modelled, cameoed in ‘Zoolander’ and appeared in her own series, ‘The Simple Life’. She’s now set to star in horror movie ‘House of Wax’ and with a book and single (entitled, ironically, ‘Screwed’) to be released soon, there’s no stopping the heiress. Her predecessor PAMELA ANDERSON would approve, having spawned the ‘home cinema’ trend with Tommy Lee.



(Incidentally, Paris’s ‘debut’ is still available, and at approx. $50, it’s cheaper than a night in one of her hotels)


Of course, these ladies aren’t alone-what about Holly Valance (nudity in the Kiss Kiss video seemed a good way to move from Neighbours into pop, but still, does anyone remember her last single?). Then there’s Liz (‘call me Elizabeth ’) Hurley, whose safety-pin frock stole the spotlight all those years ago and provided her with a job, although she can’t really act? Even Kylie has her gold hotpants to thank for continued success in music, so we shouldn’t be so hard on poor Sam. She’s only doing what works…

The gentler way to deal with Oily Skin!


Dermatologists report that whilst teenage acne has long been a well-known phenomenon, blemishes have become an increasingly frequent motive for consultation amongst women in the 20-40 age groups. This "physiological" acne is triggered in adulthood with no apparent link to an extension of the adolescent phase. This problem is thought to be due to hectic lifestyles, stress, pollution, the use of poor quality cosmetics, lack of sleep, or menstrual cycles.



Importantly, women of all skin types can experience blemishes over the age of 20 and since a large proportion of these sufferers will have dry and/or sensitive skin they need to be careful with their selection of an appropriate treatment. Some traditional anti-acne remedies can be too strong or harsh for many skin types.


Unlike classical keratolytic ingredients which exfoliate skin cells in clusters, La Roche-Posay LHA™ allows skin cells to come off one by one. This specific mode of action provides a gentle, precise and targeted micro-exfoliation for improved tolerance and efficacy.

Ashlee Simpson says 'no' to Pregnancy!

Singer Ashlee Simpson is not pregant - so says current beau Pete Wentz who emailed MTV News to fill them in on the real news. The couple recently got engaged, sparking reports that there was a bigger reason to the upcoming nuptuals than just pure love.


"There is a witch hunt for people to be pregnant whenever they get engaged in Hollywood. This is all news to me. I can't wait for the story about how I'm really in a gay relationship and this is all just a cover… I mean really, this is crazy… I mean we're engaged, that's true, and happy about it," Wentz ranted.

Is Amy Winehouse back on the white stuff?

With her hubby in the slammer but her album sales soaring, Amy Winehouse seems to be in emotional limbo, and was once again seen (according to the News of the World) snorting cocaine as she partied hard last week.





An onlooker told the News of the World: "It's sad to see one of Britain's hottest talents kneeling on the floor of a bog and snorting drugs. She dabbed up the last few bits of powder, making sure she got every last bit, from the lid."


Winehouse was out partying with Pixie Geldof - i'm sure daddy Bob will be delighted to hear about the company she's keeping!

Love or Light from Swarovski Bridal

The second Swarovski Bridal collection draws its inspiration from timeless symbolism, with the intricate dress work, hair accessories, sophisticated jewellery and decorative objects incorporated in the Love & Light collection, enveloping the wedding day in an aura of radiance, devotion and sheer luxury.



The star of the new collection is undoubtedly a silk satin crepe wedding dress. Produced entirely by hand, it is adorned with crystal mesh strips in colours ranging from white opal to light blue, that continue right to the end of the train. The exceptionally fashionable piece is made complete with removable crystal mesh roses, hand produced by master finery manufacturer LemariƩ. Long, romantic lambskin gloves, also featuring crystal mesh embroidery, achieve the full effect. A true haute couture creation, the stunning piece takes over 80 hours to produce.


One of the Crystal Living collection's best selling items, the picture frame, is now adorned with a cascade of transparent crystals set in a silver-plated frame. It is accompanied by a jewellery box protected by a large block crystal, which also features crystal cascading on each of its sides, and whether used to contain secrets or jewellery pieces, the case represents an elegant treasure box. Champagne flutes and spherical tea lights have also been reinterpreted this season, with their feet and edges now incorporating miniscule cut crystals.


As a collection, it offers everything a beautiful bride could wish for on her special day.
