Whitney Houston – 1963-2012
And so, once again, that which the God’s give, they take away. This could never be more true than in the death of Whitney Houston, a goddess of a woman with the true voice of an angel who has died at the age of 48. I loved Whitney from those early days of ‘Saving all my love for you’, a song I still belt out when home alone. She was frankly the most beautiful girl I had ever seen. An ex model, she was a cleaner and classier alternative to Madonna, and had a voice that was powerful, melodic and could bring you to tears. Who hasn’t danced at a…

Vanity Fair and the Ice Cream Colours
I’m a huge fan of Vanity Fair magazine, and in particular the March issue that is always dedicated to all things Hollywood. There cover is always a gatefold, and there have been some truly iconic ones over the years, for instance, who could forget the one featuring a naked Kiera Knightley and Scarlett Johansson with Tom Ford? This years cover is full of the brightest and most beautiful of the current crop of young actresses taking Hollywood by storm. Rooney Mara, Jennifer Lawrence,Felicity Jones and Elizabeth Olsen are amongst those featured. But it is the beautiful dresses in ice cream shades that have caught my eye. The softest of pink,…

Style icon of the month – January – Angelina Jolie
Angelina Jolie is my face idol. This woman is so beautiful she could make Helen of Troy resemble Grotbags. Those eyes, those lips and that skin – she is just perfection. And every year, when the awards season starts, she shows she is also a picture of perfection in the style stakes too. Angelina’s style is classic. With the exception of her love for leather, she sticks to classic. simple styles that she accessories in minimal fashion. She knows her beauty requires little adornment, but with the possible exception of Kate Moss, no one rocks red lippie better than Angelina. January was a vintage month for Angelina watchers. Her crowning…

The Harry Moseley Charity Ball – Save the date.
There are some people who really make a difference to this world. Harry Moseley was one of them. Diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumour at the age of seven, he could’ve been instantly forgiven for having a selfish outlook, or for giving up on a life that had barely started and was now being given an expiration date. But that was not Harry. Instead this little boy showed he had the bravery of an army of men and a care and compassion for other children in his position that was both humbling and heartbreaking. Harry set up the ‘Help Harry, Help Others‘ campaign, making brightly coloured bead bracelets to be…
