> Tube time

I’ve had a vision. I vision of the future. A future with TUBE SKIRTS. Yes. That’s right. Tube skirts. NO Not boob tubes you FOOOOOL. They are SO nineties and should NEVER be worn by anyone larger than a B cup for fear of those flabby-armpit-bits that fold so elephantly over the side.

I’m talking tight-like-tiger-skirts. High-waist or hipster, who cares! Preferably a bit longer than a mini. I’m thinking mid thigh. Stretchy. Panelled. Whatever.

Team it with ankle boots, a loose T and a scarf. Mod. I like.

I found a few beauties online at Topshop. Otherwise I found a couple of shorter versions at Supre. Stripes would be cool though.

Get involved.

> Man-gift of the week

This weather. Ech. Need I say more.

If your man doesn’t have a pool and you don’t really feel like driving, finding a park, then diving into the pee filled oily slick that the 200 6 yr olds and 100 tanning teenagers have left behind. Then the only solution is an inflatable pool.

No-one can tell you off for having a ciggy and drinking a tinny in your own backyard! Target and K-Mart sell these beauties at a reasonable price of $40.

And if he’s lucky enough to have a pool then I can suggest investing in an inflatable toy to keep him busy while you’re tanning. The crocodile is always a fave.

> LOOK OUT FOR: Charlotte Olympia

Gang. I’ve fallen in love. I don’t care if I break my back wearing these babies. They’re TO DIE FOR.

London IT girl Charlotte Dellal, the half-Brazilian half-English daughter of Guy and Andrea Dellal (glamorous-jet-setting-couple-from-back-in-the-day-where-the-economy-wasn’t-up-shit-creek), has launched her first shoe collection.

Made in Italy and ranging in price from 200-450 pounds these weapons are available in London at Harvey Nichols, Browns, Dover Street Market & Net-A-Porter.

Check out her full collection on her website. And if you’re super curious . . . head to Borders and buy the first edition of Camouflage magazine (a new fave) for a super hot interview and photoshoot.

Here’s to dealing with my Christmas weight by looking really tall and skinny in heals and jeans. Cheers to that.

> Star time.

So. It’s your first day back at work. Otherwise you wouldn’t be reading this wishing you were lying on a beach somewhere like the lucky biatches who have still got an extra week off.

Ahhhhh. Sunshine.

Anyhoo. Hopefully your monthly-star-essay by Susan Miller will distract you momentarily.

> MAN-GIFT OF THE WEEK

These babies are the crocs of wrist wear. Weighing in at 47grams they make the perfect accessory for all the men who prefer to go nude.

Available in 6 different colours these rubber ‘Zub Zot Watches’ have a rather unique way of telling the time. Dots for hours. Bars for minutes. And a digital counter for the seconds. Neat.

Cruise down to Nique on Chapel to try them on or order them online here.
