Doggy Style II

I can't remember what Marcel's Nars-ism was this time, but this picture is too cute to miss.

While we're talking dogs I just need to share this Judith Leiber creation (she did Carrie's cupcake bag - remember?) that I happened upon while looking at Net-a-Porter's 'new for you'.

I am stunned into silence. LOOK at the FACE! 

Web Editor Kate (my psychic twin - more on that later) is actually and shamefully taken with it, I can't stop looking at it, but I'm not sure why exactly. Shock? Awe? It's £4,295! Shock. Definitely shock. Or awe?

Friday Afternoon Cocktails, Yes Please

"Your life is so much more glamorous than ours" Commissioning Ed Jo sighs as I walk past her desk with my Margarita just now. 

Well, yes, today I can't really argue with that can I? Thanks to the Eyelure girls coming in with the bar manager from Cocoon on Regents St to mix me a Margarita in my new Lolita Flirtini glass! Yum.

All this in aid of their HBO collaboration to develop a set of SATC lashes, one for each character. I'm a little dismayed to admit my favourites are not Carrie's, but in fact Miranda's. Oh well, one or two cocktails later and I'll be able to deal with my unfortunate affiliation. I liked her Nubar nail collection best too, damn it...

MAC 'Watch This Space' Lipstick Update

Ruth at MAC was right - the new lip colour came in, I got more excited than if Thierry Henry was sat on my sofa (well ok, not me, my boyfriend, but he would be SO excited, and that's what I was).

To The Beach Lip Pencil in Temperature Rising, £10 has so far made more cameos than Terry Richardson's private parts.

Including to date:
*National Movie Awards Red Carpet (it matched my fluro Louboutins)
*Santorini Wrap Party (lasted through three courses, numerous glasses of local [i.e killer] wine and several rounds of Charades - how rock and roll)
*LOOK Festival Shoot (seen in action here).

Ruth, I'm worried about the Limited Edition status - it will be my equivalent of Robbie leaving Take That. I'm going to start stockpiling to avoid the sobbing...

Shoe Love

I never thought it could happen, but I'm starting to see what all the fuss is about with little Emma Hermione Watson having drooled over her Karl Lagerfeld choice last night. Am not a Harry Potter fan you see.

But the SHOES! Loved them till it hurt.

In second place Diane Kruger with her Lanvin lovelies. Although she might put me in the top two herself having complimented my fluro Louboutins twice. That might have been the most exciting moment of the entire evening actually.

I Love Lipstick at the National Movie Awards

Yeah, just going to Claridges to get my hair and makeup done (I missed out on hair superstyler Alain Pichon *swooon* - he had to go and 'do' Diane Kruger, but he winked at me later, so I got my fix), then yeah, just going for cocktails at Soho Hotel with Diane and her boyfriend, Pace-er I mean Joshua Jackson, you know. 

Then just walking the red carpet, got papped a couple of times, like you do, bumped into Mr Big three COUNT THEM times.

Just sat right at the front and watched Orlando Bloom, Gwyneth Paltrow, Tom Cruise, Kylie, etc. etc. come up and present awards a spit away from me. Then just got whisked to after party at Claridges and got glared at by Gwyneths bodyguards.

I'm sorry if this is ever so slightly gloating but wow, what an evening.

THANK YOU EMMA SCOTT AND L'OREAL!!! You do good awards and then some...

 thankyou Emma!

New Lash Trend

Meanwhile... on Katie's Trends shoot this week.

Less '60's Twiggy, more a ClockWork Orange. Not so sure this is going to catch on...

Wednesday Afternoon in the Beauty Cupboard...

So I walked in today to find a perfect lipstick for my turn on the red carpet later (National Movie Awards with L'Oreal - more on that later), to find Assistant Ed Claire, prone on a table having a new lash extension treatment applied.

Lash Flicks™ is a quicker, cheaper version of the original extension idea (that I've always steered clear of because I can't imagine lying still with my eyes closed for two + hours). This one is done in half the time, and costs only £30.

I keep peering in to watch the progress skeptically - where's the catch? - but no, I can officially report: They look amazing.

Now I'm suffering lash inferiority and I can't get to the lipstick box before I have to leave. Beauty sulk imminent.
