7 Hottest News Stories of the Week ...

On the 20th March 2010, an Icelandic volcano started to erupt. Not too exciting, right? Well, the aftermath certainly was! A plume of ash reached the United Kingdom on the 14th April, and on the 15th, completely halted air travel in the UK. More than 20 European countries closed their airspace for 5 days, causing travel chaos, and leaving travellers stranded all over the World. Well, after the logistical nightmare of getting my sister and her friends home from a late deal holiday to France, I’m glad to report that European airspace is now open, and Eyjafjallajokull seems to be behaving itself. Phew.

Peacocks announced this week that from the 13th May, they will be stocking a collection of tshirts, cardigans, accessories, party wear and day dresses designed by Ms. Lowe!

Daughter Daisy Lowe is already a huge fan of the collection, and looks stunning in the vintage-inspired tea dresses... I can’t wait to get my hands on them!

Put your wedding hat away, girls, Tara Reid won’t be getting married just yet. Tara announced her engagement to boyfriend Micheal in January, after he proposed in an LA restaurant, but in a statement released from her people this week, she called it off. “Tara Reid has confirmed she will not be moving forward with her May 22nd nuptials” said the spokesperson, and refused to be drawn on why she had changed her mind. Well, until we hear further news, I’m wishing Tara and Micheal all the best.

Well, her spokespeople have yet to confirm the news, but pictures have shown Isla with a very rounded stomach this week! Isla and husband Sacha got married earlier this year, and reports strongly suggest that their baby Olive might have a sibling very soon. How exciting! I love Isla’s casual style in this photo... she looks so chic, but so chilled out!

I love Holly... she’s so open and honest, and she even gave us a tip for wearing in new shoes this week! In an interview about her new family, and cute baby boy Harry, Holly revealed that whenever she buys new heels, she wears them during sex before wearing them outside. Well, Holly looks great in her elegant ball gowns, and I’ve never seen her fall over... I might give this a try!
