Telling you about how awesome Truffle Shuffle is has been top of our to-do list since… well, forever really. However, just to prove how awesome they are, they’ve given us some goodies to give you so now we have no excuses – http://www.truffleshuffle.com is truly awesome. It’s official.
I’m actually a little disappointed with this year’s red carpet fashion at the Baftas. Usually, the quirky Brit mentality means we get more adventurous choices from the stars yet this year, that derring-do dash of daring seems to have deserted the largely black and neutral red carpet. Whether it was the cold, the rain or the lower-than-usual star wattage of the guests (screw you A-Listers, we had bona fide royalty in the form of Prince William), fashion choices seemed more conservative than usual. Here’s a rundown of the only gowns that grabbed our interest for long enough to write about them.
Yes, this is late as the Golden Globes were about two weeks ago. But it’s never too late to look at lots of pretty dresses and/or stars making fools out of themselves with their style choices. Here’s our rundown of the best, worst and everything in-between on the night.
*The entries have been counted, verified and laughed over (freakish numbers of people seem to think they will win by not answering the question – if we wanted to just give away stuff with absolutely no effort required, why we would we bother putting a question?!) and I’m pleased to announce the winners of our Elsiebelle competition. Just before I do, your style icons made for interesting reading – woman of the moment Cheryl Cole strutted off with about 20% of the vote (4x as much as her nearest competitors Fearne Cotton and Kate Moss), wooden spoon entry was a last-minute vote for Jedward (it was the shiny red leather suits, I assume) and there was a severe wtf moment in the form of William Shakespeare. But onto the winners and congrats to...*
Gwen Stefani – Jade C, Cheshire
Missy Higgins – Catherine M, Hertfordshire
A mix of Kimberley Walsh & Cheryl Cole – Gemma T, Falkirk
Olivia Palermo – Claire N, Cheshire
Rachel Bilson – Clare W, Sheffield
Blake Lively – Emily W, Glasgow
Zooey Deschanel – Libby M, USA
Lady Gaga ‘Wish I had the balls (metaphorical) to pull it off’ – Ashleigh M, Norwich (we’re pleased those balls are metaphorical btw!)
We found ourselves wandering in Topshop’s jewellery section the other day – and you know what? We were pretty disappointed. Far too much of it looked cheaper than its actual cost (of course, now we’ve said this, we’ve just gone to look on their website and seen about five things we love but never mind…) and these days, every Tom, Dick and Debbie is seen sporting a Topshop pendant. Frankly, we needed some inspiration – and along it came in the form of an email from the lovely folk at http://www.elsiebelle.com. Elsiebelle’s range of jewellery is nothing short of delightful; cute, quirky, vintage, lovely and that little bit out of the ordinary, they’re certainly ticking all our boxes (much to the distress of our bank accounts). And they’ve gone up even more in our estimation given that they’ve agreed to give some of their finest necklaces away to you, for free.
You teentoday.co.uk lot know all about my slight obsession with the X Factor at the moment, Saturday night socialising is now a distant memory for me… So when some lovely PR people asked me if I wanted a quick chat with Jackie Tyson, the genius make-up artist behind all the contestants’ looks, I was about as excited as Jedward on Red Bull. Hit “see more” for my chat with the very lovely Jackie (she was in the middle of painting the faces of Bon Jovi when we spoke, very showbiz)…
Editor’s note: I’m shit, this article has been knocking about in the teentoday.co.uk inbox for too long. The headband was proudly nestled in Cheryl’s glorious mane a few weeks back. Must do better. Sorry.
After the dress monstrosities from Mrs Cole recently there is a little glimmer of style amidst the madness and it comes in the form of a sparkly head band as seen on last Saturday’s show. Cheryl teamed her Atelier Versace Grecian dress with a £350 Jenny Packham headband that looked gorgeous nestled amongst her L’Oreal curls. Dannii’s even getting in on the action with a little glittery number spotted nestling in her crimped locks. Trust us, this is gonna be a big look in the run up to Christmas, just team with loose curls or a simple up do and a Little Black Dress for Channi chic.
