Stars in her eyes...

Posted by Jo Kelly on January 30, 2008 9:25 AM

Was £40 now £19
Asos.com Star Print Chiffon Shirt £28

My mum is obviously reading this blog.

A parcel from asos.com arrived for my uber-trendy mummy yesterday. In it was this shirt and necklace both with the fashionable star motif I mentioned in my blog on Monday.

She looked fab in the sparkly ensemble proving mums don't have to limit themselves to dowdy M&S blouses and black ski-pants.

Project Catwalk 3

Posted by Jo Kelly on January 29, 2008 9:11 AM

I'm ashamed to say I'm hooked. It all started when I was lying on my bed waiting for my false tan to dry the Sunday before last.

Unable to do anything else, I switched on some trashy TV and bang....the wonder that is Project Catwalk entered my life. Ben De Lisi and Kelly Osbourne host - it's bitchy but with some beautiful designs. I even managed to get the boyfriend to watch it this week.

It's on Wednesday 9pm on Sky One and again on Sundays.

Tune in and cheer on scouser Katy, who won the challenge on Sunday when she designed and made a men's mac for Mackintosh. Jo x

The pallet comes in three colours - beach, sun or bronze party - and includes a dual-ended eyeshadow brush and foam tip applicator.

Raindrops keep falling on my head...

Posted by Kathryn Carr on January 22, 2008 9:09 AM

I am absolutely sick of this weather.

It pours down night, noon and morning, and I can't find any footwear to handle it. Stilettos have me tripping and slipping all over the place, suede boots get saturated if you so much as look at a puddle, and ballet pumps - oh don't even get me started, you may as well go out in your socks..

I give up. I can't find anything to put on my feet when I reluctantly remove my giant Tigger slippers before leaving the house in the morning.

Well, there is one thing..

Having braved the muddy mayhem that was last year's Glastonbury Festival, I now consider myself to be a bit of a welly connoisseur. When you're marooned in a 4ft square tent for five days in torrential rain with nothing but a soggy campfire and your own body weight in pot noodles to help you survive, short of building an ark (my suggestion was over-ruled, Kasabian were on in 10 minutes, there wasn't time) there's nothing else for it but to get your wellies on and get out there.

You only have to look at Dame Shirley Bassey to realise that waist-high mud isn't going to come between her and her devilish diva style. No, Shirl's not fazed by a few drops of rain, or the fact she needed a canoe to get her and her 54 assistants from her VIP trailor to the nearest falafel stand. All she's bothered about is making sure her fabulous footwear has her initials emblazoned across it in diamond encrusted letters.

I settled for this £15 pair from TJ Hughes.

Although that's not Glasto, that's just me arriving at work yesterday morning..

But top of my list is this Tickled Pink pair, available from Asda for £10, with all proceeds going to Breast Cancer Care. Brilliant boots, brilliant cause.

Who says rain can't be fun..?

GOING, GOING, GONE...

Posted by Jo Kelly on January 7, 2008 2:43 PM

I'm not one to battle the sales really.

Don't get me wrong, I love a bargain as much as the next Primark-clad lady and I'm not ashamed of delving into the depths of a discount bin but the physical effort of "the sales" isn't worth it for me.

It's probaby because I worked at Next for a while and saw things during sales, which still haunt my dreams....
