good morning! if you haven't heard about leona lewis (join her on myspace) you're probably living under a rock! she's the super talented young lady who won UK's x factor back in 2006 (the british version of american idol) and has been mentored by simon cowell (and was signed by music mogul clive davis) who introduced her last week on oprah winfrey's daytime talk show to american audiences - and now her hugely popular song ...

I've always loved dichroic glass pendants, and when I saw Topshop's Giles-esque skirt, it really reminded me of the patterns you find in the fused glass charms. There was really only one thing for it. Outfit time! The necklace and skirt match perfectly, so I've tried to keep the rest of the outfit simple and a bit retro. Substitute purple tights for the grey if you want to make it a bit bolder!
vTap launches today, and whilst Kat over at Tech Digest has had rather an unappealing introduction, I found a lot more to be excited about. I spoke to the people behind the service last week, and they're adamant that in The Future, we're going to eyeing up all our news, views and TV programmes whilst we're out and about.
So Gucci is milking the Hysteria collection for all it’s worth. While designers continue to crank out a bevy of handbags each season, certain houses understand how one style of a particular collection can just stick unlike anything else, and when this happens, the It bag is born. Increasing their chances of having a hit, designers are creating 5+ styles of a certain collection to ensure that at least one “hooks” a starlet, and thus the public. The result is ...
One of the more recent Marc by Marc Jacobs shows was a sublime showcase of bold, transitional pieces with a decidedly retro feel. The designer’s Owl Leather handbag follows suit, boasting a structured shape so reminiscent of elegant ladies who lunch. The red adds a neutral pop of color. Since it’s a color for all seasons, plan on wearing this often. It’s just as suitable for the office as it is an errand run. Best of all, it’s a ...
Rihanna first wore this hot pink Betsey Johnson Spring 2008 taffeta and tulle dress on Friday when she performed at a benefit in Vision Nightclub, Chicago. She wore her dress with a visible black.
Lil Mama wore the same strapless dress on Saturday to the Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards. Her dress was embellished, as was her visible bra. She completed her look with a leather jacket and embellished sneakers.
For the extra effort Lil Mama made in ...
More Ghost Furniture pieces and what inspired me to create them. These are not on the site yet as we are waiting for a long sunny day to photograph them - keep everything crossed for me.

A piece of shattered silk I nearly bought via Tara of Paris Parfait. It inspired me to create a chair using shattered silk from a Victorian skirt. Thanks Tara...
You just know when you look at these fabulous terracotta items that they are going to be French. You see this sort of stuff in old charcuterie all over France and find that they were made eons ago. I am thrilled I found these as I want them some of them for my new kitchen.
All hand made and fired at 1000 degrees in a ceramic oven then hand painted. From Guenilee Courcoux

Things have come a long way since I was a knitwear designer in the 80s. It seems you can knit anything nowadays. I just wish I could knit an extension for my cottage then I wouldn't have to have another meeting with a builder.

Do you prefer strawberries or raspberries? If you can't decide then let me introduce you to strasberries, the fruit that falls somewhere between strawberries and raspberries. The fruit was "born" in the early 1900s, but disappeared from markets until Dutch farmers rediscovered them several years ago. Originally a type of wild strawberry, the strasberries have become a big hit in Europe due to their "unique, aromatic flavour." If you're interested in trying them, you'll have to head across the ...
Now it takes a fair bit to get me excited about art, but this is one site you won't want to miss as it combines some of the funkiest drawings I've seen in a while with tongue in cheek messages and even free to download wallpapers.. I love the graphic art, and would even consider ordering one of his works on canvas It's nice to see artists out there creat
Wind-up radios have, for a while now, been the default eco-friendly option for music on the go and around the house. However, companies like PURE have been working on creating an environmentally sound alternative that means no compromise on crystal clear listening pleasure.
If you've decided to jump into the high definition ocean of Blu-ray, where the very plankton is produced in eye-exploding levels of detail, and the fish themselves have little mind explosions every seven seconds as they rediscover the clarity of the picture, you could buy Dell.
Now that there’s no speculation over whether she’s pregnant or not, all that’s left to do until the arrival of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s baby (or babies) is speculate about their marriage status.
On Saturday, March 29, Star magazine sent journalists an e-mail blast that announced that Brangelina nuptials took place at the French Quarter Wedding Chapel in New Orleans. Before long, every celebrity weekly was on the story, scrambling to see whether they’d missed what would be the biggest ...
