Who's the tallest of them all?


My biggest celebrity spot in life has to be a rare sighting of the one and only Kate Moss. But you know when you see a celebrity in real life and you think "wow, kind of lacking several inches in the height department..." compared to pictures? 

Well since seeing a picture of L'Wren Scott, AKA Mick Jagger's bit of stuff, it got me thinking how tall are some of these fashion designers? And the way my brain works this equals major exciting blog post material - similarly to when I pondered over the stylishness of said designers.

Bonus points for Price is Right HIGHER/LOWER chanting.

Kicking off with Marc Jacobs who enters the height chart at a respectable 5ft 8"...


No that's not an infant...It's SJP with 6 foot 4” L'wren Scott towering over her.


Stella McCartney stands at a slightly average 5 foot 4” with RiRi.


I have to say I was surprised by this one, it's the ever controversial Karl Lagerfeld at 5 foot 10”.


We always knew they were pint-sized it's The Row's Ashley Olsen 5.2" & Mary Kate Olsen at 5.1”


And taking it back to the old school it's Coco Chanel who stood ever so elegantly at 5 foot 5".

You know when Clueless is still TOTALLY relevant 18 years on?

Did you know it's nearly 20 years since Clueless was released (1995)? Seeing as the 90s are SO ON TREND RIGHT NOW - oh hello crop tops! Oh hi there backpacks! - it got me thinking...this film is just, like, totally timeless! 

A legendary piece of cinema which may have been created a lifetime ago (18 years is a definite lifetime) but in my eyes the wisdomous words of Cher, Dionne and sometimes Travis are still so relevant to today's population. Case in point.


Cher: He does dress better than I do, what would I bring to the relationship?




Cher: Would you call me selfish?
Dionne: No, not to your face.




Cher: Anything you can do to draw attention to your mouth is good.




Cher: I want to do something for humanity.
Josh: How about sterilisation?



Travis: I joined this program and there's steps. There's... uh...
Cher: Twelve?
Travis: Yeah, how'd you know?
Cher: Wild guess.



 Amber: She could be a farmer in those clothes.


 Cher: Do you prefer fashion victim or ensembly challenged?


 Cher: I feel like such a heffer. I had two bowls of Special K, 3 pieces of turkey bacon, a handful of popcorn, 5 peanut butter M&M’s and like 3 pieces of liquorice.

Chaos at Nina Ricci...

Imagine you are Liverpuddlian model, Hollie May Saker, walking for Nina Ricci at Paris Fashion Week and two naked chicks storm the runway. Hello? Who/what even are you?

The model who is tipped to be the next Kate Moss was grabbed by one of the lunatics on the catwalk and in return the 18 year old punched them in the face. How is that for fashion week chaos??

Read @Holliemaysaker's tweets on the events...and watch a video HERE!



New Hair Does She Care?

Are we ignoring the elephant in the drawing room that is Millie Mackintosh's new fringe? D.I.Y job?

Arte Mondiale...

Arte Mondiale is a brand I noticed in the Zoo. No no, seriously at Zoo Project (Ibiza) all the cool kids were wearing them and I'm so glad I took this picture to remind me. It's a t-shirt brand that launched this year with a really cool concept. They commission artists and designers from around the world to create artwork especially for the tees.


Another cool thing about this brand is that all the t-shirts are limited edition. One they're sold out...they're gone forever! And each tee features a little something to honour the designers trademark.











To celebrate their launch they are offering all customers 20% off any T-shirt using discount code 'GQAMOCT' upon checkout. P&P is free for all orders in the UK and will be delivered in there signature packaging.

QUICK FIX FACIALS...

I love a face mask. Who's with me? For the past few weeks I've been testing the new Quick Fix Facial range and I'm blown away by the results. I'm recommending to all my friends (mum's all over them already) a must-have on your next Boots shop! See below for an individual review of each mask.

Overall
Beautifully fragrant.
Amazing results (can't believe they're only £4.99).
10 out of 10 on the recommend to a friend factor.
Average 15 mins drying time (for that satisfying hard face feel.)
An average of 10 uses per tube (based on the amount I've used in the picture below)


Anti-Blemish Mud Mask for Oily and Spot Prone Skin
I'm quite lucky in the spot department in that I don't tend to get them (good genes, thanks mum!). Having said that this mask is one of my favourites and have used it bi-weekly and seen a real difference in my shiny bits.



Exfoliating Scrub Mask for Blackheads and Blocked Pores
Or...miracle mask in a tube. After one use I could instantly tell the difference and after 4 uses I was practically blackhead free.


Mega Moisture Gel Mask for Dry and Thirsty Skin
Does what it says on the tin! Rebuying ASAP, I managed to squeeze 11 facials out of this beautiful pink tube!


Calming Clay Mask for Red and Sensitive Skin
Now I do have very sensitive skin and if you do too I wouldn't advise you cake this on like I did. It did leave my face feeling a little bit hot after but several compliments were made about my “healthy glow”


Brightening Peel Mask for Dull and Uneven Skin Tone
One of those kids at school who dipped PVA glue on their fingers so they could peel it off? Then this mask is for you...plus the radiance of my skin afterwards was unreal! The mask dries clear, it's literally like a five minute face lift! I would recommend you start peeling from the side of your nostrils.
