June 2008 Archives

THOUGHT I'd found the solution to the two unsightly burn scars on my lower arm - caused on two separate occasions last month during a baking frenzy after promising to provide sambuca and fairy cakes at a girly gathering.

Have considered filling the bath with Bio Oil because, whatever the claims in those mildly nauseating adverts that bring up scar tissue and stretchmarks while you're eating your tea, rubbing a few drops on every day is making no difference whatsoever.

SPOTTED driving around Los Angeles.

David Beckham taking two of his Mini-Me sons (or as one of my colleagues put it "Did Posh just have one child and clone the rest?") out for a spin in a car that probably had more in common with the Batmobile than a Rolls Royce.

We'll buy anything if a celeb's on the front of it. At least that's the theory.

Every TV chef has their face on a food line or cookery equipment - Nigella and her
kitchenware, Gordon Ramsey chocolates (who incidentally, about six years ago when I interviewed him practically bit my head off when I asked if considered himself a "celebrity" chef), and even though we never really saw him cook, Lloyd Grossman does pretty well with his sauces.

IF, like me, the alarm clock's shrill ring or incessant beep is enough to send you back under the covers, help may be at hand.
The iPod alarm clock is on hand to save the day and ease us into the day ahead.

OVERHEARD in Sainsbury's on Old Hall Street...

Twenty-something woman (flicking through Grazia): "I've had to have a re-think about the way I see the world."

I DO believe that we have already extolled the great love the Girls Behaving Stylishly have for dry shampoo on this blog before.
But it seems the rest of the fashionable universe is now cottoning onto the benefits of this rather retro of hair products.

I HAVE done something terrible.
No, worse than that, I have done something that can only be described as positively heinous.
Something which will make right-thinking fashionable types blank me in the street.

NEVER has a handbag been created that is deep enough to fit in all those vital items that we girls are compelled to carry around with us each day beyond the obligatory keys, purse and mobile phone.

Then we spotted this SuperWagBagBanana on display in Williamson Square.

THERE'S no sitting on the fence for the Girls Behaving Stylishly. Here are the things we're loving and hating this week...

Hot

BILLIE PIPER returning to Doctor Who. She is back tonight for three episodes.

THIS is Ann-Zoe Ofredapo and, according to Gok "let's get your clothes off" Wan she is the most stylish woman in Liverpool.

After scouring the city centre streets last month for people to feature on his new Channel 4 show, Travelling Catwalk, the Gokfather declared: "Her style is unlike anything I've seen before. Her eclectic mix of urban meets Emo provokes a luscious combo of true street style. Words that spring to mind to describe her style are genius, fashion savvy, courageous and daring."
