Kylie commotion

Sometimes you just can't argue with genetics. Kylie may have had a nip and a tuck on her visage, but you'd be hard pressed to believe she's had interference with her rear. It's just not fair! She's got a good few years on me and I can spin as much as I want but I can't keep it peachy like Kylie. As much as I have been won round by Dannii M and her passive aggressive X Factor shenanigans and style overhaul, even she struggles to compete with special K and has given up the ghost by getting up the duff.

Setting the benchmark for bums everywhere, I'll be using every trick in the book to try and keep up with Kylie. £22 and www.simplyyours.co.uk should help.

SATC ain't what it used to be

So, revelation, the fashion world is a flutter as Sex and the City returns on the big screen. Being a traitor to my friends isn't in my nature, but Carrie and Co. are different people. Charactured to the max and a walking advert for brands they 'Executively Consult' for or whatever, they aren't the gals they used to be. It may have sealed the deal when I did one of those SATC quizzes. The outcome of which cited me as Charlotte. Charlotte? WTF??! I've always considered myself a hybrid of them all, but if I decide to embrace la quiz and fully Charlotte-ise myself, this will be my first port of call from Gant. Uber cute!

It's all haute-y and shiny these days, with clothes too aspirational and the girls have lost their way from those characters I idolised and considered fictional friends. From SATC 2, the only part which I truly got all aflutter was the opening flashback scene. Carrie's channelling of Madonna and 80's prom dresses made my heart go pitty-pat.

So what with the out-of-my-price-range outfits, piss-poor plot and punchlines, the only character I'm giving the time of day to is the fifth lady of the show, Stanford. With his self-effacing charm, adorable outfits, and gay galpal confidante credentials, it had everyone seeking a 'Stanford' back in the day.

If you're lucky enough to have one, cherish. In an homage to the show that was fabulous in its day, but like all Hollywood broads has been pulled and stretched too far, take a cocktail or two and hit the highstreet for treats....

As it's summer, swimwear for Stanford is a must. There's lots to chose from, but a kitch classic is the Speedo. You may want to draw inspiration from a scene in the film featuring a series of hot men...

Palm Print-cess

So...the Bank holiday weekend hasn't been the complete wash out those poopooers and nay-sayers had predicted....which adds fuel to my fire that we are going to enjoy a scorcher of a summer this year in lil' ol' England. Two fingers to the continent and a raspberry to everyone south of the hemisphere, cos Blighty is where it's at! I can almost taste the carcinogens from boozy BBQs and visualise the glorious skyline as the summer sun sets as I type dear readers.

Chic Chiffonier was all inspired a few weeks ago from the sniff of sunshine, and promptly bought a masterpiece of a maxi dress, so my heart was all of a flutter about how best to navigate my 'all in the name of sunshine' inspiration. Whilst waiting at the most heinous of places next to hell, the train station, I mooched around the web pour un petit cadeau. Zut alors!

Don't you just die for the lovebomb of a feeling when you find something divine? Like a thunderbolt, I knew it was for me.



Lolita from Ringspun

I can see it now, espadrilles, sunnies and this palm print princess, sweet dreams are made of this. Never mind about the chicken skewers and corn on the cob, this season's BBQ's are all about Florida-style fabulous fashion. The 'Lolita' pictured, is from streetwear brand Ringspun, via ASOS. With hero pieces like this for £35, I'm going back for seconds!
