Robin Williams has warmed our hearts, broadened our faces and drew tears to our eyes. Who knew such a humorous and vivacious character would leave us so soon. From his crazy, imaginative creation of Mork to the heart felt emotions of Sean Maguire in Good Will Hunting and the exuberant and camp character of The Birdcage, He lit up the screen in every move and gesture. I could write all night about Robin’s talents or who he was to the public and my own opinion or the slight sadness that his face always expressed but theres nothing I will say that one does not already know. This man was solid in his achievements and his movies will go on to entertain us for generations to come. He truly was one of the greats. He will be sadly missed.
WOW! I totally want one of these – The Midnight Planétarium timepiece tracks the position of the six planets visible from Earth. Each of them are independently controlled for precise tracking at any given time and their true orbital speeds are represented. Aside from keeping you updated on planetary positioning, it also functions as a regular watch with the shooting star indicating the time in hours and minutes.
As with any celebrities sudden and unexpected exit from this world and life time it comes as more of a surprise and shock that it was Peaches Geldoff’s time to depart. Usually a huge signalling factor of any celebrities death is ruthless press attention documenting their every move and splashing their troubled existence all over the front pages of the press. But Peaches Geldoff seems to have had a less extreme twist of faith. Peaches at just ages 25, had appeared to have given up her party life style to settle into family life with her two young boys one of which sadly will only turn one year old in the coming months. It comes very unexpected as there was no tell tale signs, no spiralling out of control.
As stated by her father “We are beyond pain,” said her father, confirming her death. “She was the wildest, funniest, cleverest, wittiest and the most bonkers of all of us.” This from a man that seems to be the master of dealing with tremendous pain while the spotlight is on him.
The sudden death of another beautiful and young woman Paula Yates, Peaches mother was a previous blow to the family. Peaches was only 11 when her mother died and she has said that having her own kids has helped her to deal with her mothers death. Not forgetting the death of Michael Hutchence whom fathered Peaches step sister with her mother Paula Yates and whom Bob Geldoff has adopted as his own. All beautiful yet tormented people. The strength of Bob Geldoff in dealing with such tragedies while continuing to take care of his remaining family is certainly admirable and my thoughts are with him.
Peaches seemed to be a kind and vivacious character, a loving mother, a caring daughter and talented writer and TV personality/presenter. I hope there will be no more deaths of such great people for a long time to come.
Above is Peaches at a Sass & Bibe fashion show just being herself and enjoying life. R.I.P.
So I reckon all the celeb stylists got together and said “Let punk the bitches!” I have alway had a weakness for punk and all its style now, to wake in the morning and find all the best and sexiest celebs in the world after my own heart. Im just jealous it wasn’t me sashaying down the red carpet first punked up to the nines.
Check out some of these stunning creations. I have picked my favourite gowns (the ones I wish I was wearing) and put them here for you my fashionAnts, to feast your desires upon.
Fantastic…! Why not!!? Love it! The Louis Vuitton boots look incredible and the Giles Deacon dress is spectacular although I think the Philip Treacy headpiece is a little young for her! Gem!
Plain redonklous. Sorry Madge. Take a leaf out of Milley’s book.
I love D&G but not this one…Next.
Sienna looks a little lost in this, kinda like she thought she was killing it with the jacket then realised that everyone had out did her. Love the jacket not gone on that Burberry dress. Looks slightly to big and plain on her.
Poison Ivy by name Poison Ivy by nature. Uma Thurman looks radiant in Diane Von Furstenburg
Poor P. Alway the Puppet. Michael Cinco
Simple, sexy and elegant without trying to hard. Nice. Cara in Thakoon
Proper party dress. Gisele in Diane von Furstenburg
Bodylishious in Mary Katrantzou
Looks like a Tim Burton rag doll. Lilly Coles a bit of a wash out in Vivienne Westwood
Nina looks great in this Altuzarra and Monique Lhullier. It reminds me a little of 80s Madonna, when she was cool. Wish she would stop trying.
Very David Bowie I reckon. Looks like high fashion 80s more than punk but looks good anyhow. Anthony Vaccarello
Anne Hathaway looks fantastic in this shear Valentino gown. Cropped spiky blonde suits her. It was a total and much a warranted removal from the sweet feminine side we are so bored of seeing. She rocks this and her boobs look great!
Again the cropped, spiked blonde looks great. Milley is one of the youngest on the red carpet. She could have gotten away with what Madonna wore and Madona SHOULD have worn this Marc Jacobs! Perfect mis swap!
Lopez knows how to pop a pose for the papz! She looks ravishing in one of my fav designers Michael Kors.
I love how chic this look is. Its mature and classy with a business woman approach that could be work day time. Ivanka Trump looks every inch the business lady in this Juan Carlos Obando dress.
Good old D. Toning it down for once. She looks sophisticated.
This looks funky and elegant. I like the match Wes Gordon
This is a dress you can wear all year round. Its interesting and gives a mystique to Karlie Kloss. Louis Vuttion
This looks like it would be suited in Ibiza. Maybe Jessica brought the wrong luggage. Diane von Furstenburg
Miranda Kir in Michael Kors. She has the body to pull it off beautifully.
This is a sultry colour you dont see to often on the red carpet. Minka Kelly wares it well in Carolina Herrera
Stunning! Sleek, understatedly sexy. Glamorous Gucci.Great choice for her.
Fnky day to elegant night.
On fire in Givenchy. Love the classic gold detail.
Check out this half eaten (I couldn’t resist) red velvet cupcake from London Soho’s Hummingbird Bakery. They make the most delicious cupcakes I have tried in a while and their coffee is great too! If you are in London town browsing around or splashing the cash, I suggest you pop in here for a pit stop and some much deserved R&R. It really is a fancy feast and the staff there are so nice. Do it. You know you want to 😉
A really cheap and highly beneficial beauty buy is Almond OIl! Almond oil can be used for a multitude of things such as being a great all over body moisturiser, massage it onto the scalp it can help hair to grown and become thicker, it helps with dark circles under the eye, it is 100% natural, is so cheap at only £1.59… Seriously… I tried it and found it helped to brighten my skin. Its also great over salads as a dressing 😉 I recommend you try it out and see for yourself. Its a great item to have at hand. Apply on face and/or body to give the skin some natural moisture that it needs. Its a total winner!
I feel 2013 will be a great year full of success, fun, fashion, glam, travels, positivity and productivity!! Most of all I wish for success in all mine and yours in future endeavours!!
Who's your pop?
