Tune in to Organic Stereo

Ok so we’re not actually talking radio, we are on about a Brighton based line of progressive clothing and cool eco fashion accessories. Organic Stereo uses ecological fabrics, planet-friendly print and dying processes and their items are made in a factory in Portugal where workers receive above minimum wages, making their trade fair but not square.

We love these cute cherry earrings £23.50 http://www.organicstereo.com/ but unfortunately they have just sold out. Organic Stereo, if you’re listening, please make some more!

Piers Morgan, Susan Boyles Son?

Is it us or does Piers Morgan look likes Susan Boyle’s love child..???

Love child may be a loose term as I’m not entirely sure that she’s old enough.

What with the boiling point bonanza going on at the mo, it seems that our favourite under dog may be threatening to quit the show! The cynical side of me thinks this may all be a publicity stunt to get Boyle’s… and Cowell’s profile launched into a further frenzy seeing that the final of Britain’s Got Talent is fast approaching…and I’m sure you’re as excited as we are! And yes Simon Cowell does have all his fingers and toes in every reality pie at the moment… and we don’t blame him.

Speaking of which did everyone see the delicious little George Sampson stint on last nights show? What a dreamboat! We’re loving the new X- Manufactured routine, with all the cool TV’s and backing dancers, and a well chosen cap in the on trend summery yellow shade. We were genuinely pleased to see that little G as we like to call him has not vanished into insignificance just yet like most of Cowells other promising protégées… Paul Potts springs to mind.

Which brings me back to the Susan Boyle spectacle… do we really care? As much like Potts we’re sure she’ll also be left in the gutter. Now we’re not saying like Lily Allen that Boyle is over rated, her voice is incredible. But do you think anyone with a face like that is going to last in such a superficial appearance crazed world that is the music, we mean Simon Cowell industry?

Fashionable, Stylish, Cool… Balloons?

Yes, we think so. Let me explain: parties are the best time to get dressed up in your glad rags and have a good old knees-up; balloons are a great addition, they add to the party vibe and help to make the occasion into a proper celebration. An essential some might say.

At the risk of delving into the subject of balloons a little too deep, there are a couple of options: the type you buy from Tesco’s that come in primary colours, are really hard to blow up and typically explode in your face, then there are the kind you get from Clinton’s – tacky, full of helium and cost an arm and a leg. Which are you going to choose? From now on, neither.

Check out the answer to all out balloon conundrums: Chandelier balloons £6.99 for five at Evthokia Ltd, available from My Deco www.mydeco.com

What You Sayin?

Absolutely loving the 'Grumpy guide to... fashion' on comedy central: a humorous analysis of fashionistas, fashionaires and the other end of the spectrum. What's to love? What's to hate? What not to wear.

To summarise: avoid denim with denim, skinny jeans should only be worn by skinny women, all male fashion models seem to be gay, it's ok to be smug when someone wants to know where you got your jacket and it only cost a fiver from Primark, and above all fashion is fun (for most of us)!

3 Of The Best Designer Tents

You’ll be looking hot, decked out in the latest festival get-up, but can you say the same for your tent?

With the weather getting warmer and the festival season fast approaching, now is the perfect time to invest in your very own portable home of the non-OAP kind. Nothing to get excited about you say? We disagree.

Each year another designer branches into the tent market, introducing vibrant patterns, quirky designs and trademark prints to what was traditionally a bland and boring palette of navy, khaki green and grey. Finally tents are pretty and practical!

Let’s face it though, the best thing about an unusual, bright or downright wacky tent is that they are much easier to find after the sun and Smirnoff have gone down. Amen to that.

Here are a few of our favourites:

Floral Box Tepee

Tepee’s are so in right now, but you no longer have to be a rock star to sleep in

one. This Cath Kidston tepee tent comfortably sleeps six and is a complete bargain at just £100.

Little Rock Tent, £79.99

A 3 berth tent with a rockin’ all-over print by the British designer, Celia Birtwell, for Millets.

Fish print tent

£99, Ted Baker at Blacks

Avoid a Dad's Day Disaster..! (Don't forget it for a start...June 21st)

Eyre BioBotanics - Mankind.com
Fashion conscious Fathers are few and far between, so for the safer option this Father's Day our advice is opt for smellies or pants. New smellies come from a trendy Ozzy brand - Eyre BioBotanics. With a sophisticated, modern take on the pampered naughties male, this brand has something a little more luxurious on offer. With Mud Masks and Body scrubs you may want to pinch Dad's prezzie... so look at it as more of an investment piece. Or if you're feeling really generous you could get him the whole kit... and let your old Dad keep it!

And if Dad's already got the Jeep, or if you can't afford to get him one, there's always the Jeep pants on offer... (well you can always keep the box to dribble over).

Forget the action, hit the lights!

I stumbled across this super sexy light and just had to share it. Connotations of the silver screen, Hollywood and ultimate glamour, this uber-cool floor lamp has it all. See it and weep.

French country chic feels like summer

There's just something about floaty white linen, distressed shabby-chic floorboards and a hint of floral that evokes so much summer nostalgia. I recently visited a house that had this mixture of French country style down to a T and despite loving my minimalistic, stainless steel-clad flat, for a long moment I really wished I lived in a house just like that; either somewhere out in the sticks or on a secluded beach with just a dog and maybe a few chickens for company.

One company that embodies this style is Lavender & Sage. Offering a gorgeous selection of homewares and furniture for every room in the house, the company focuses on quality and timeless pieces, rather than cheap and cheerful fashion items.

Whilst not all of the products on the website are to my taste (some are a little too traditional for my liking), there are others that I just can’t get enough of and have been adding to my dream country-cottage wish list.

2true Cheeky Posy Spree

2true Cheeky Posy Spree

New Cheek ‘n’ Lip Tint from 2true £1.95 – Superdrug.

Cutting back on your beauty buys can be a bore in these dull credit (I’m sick of the sound…. But you all know what I mean) times. A little jewel that we've recently discovered to brighten up your day, and your cheeks is the new 2true Blush Pink. A cheek and lip stain to give you that china doll effect.

Morgan Psychedelice EDT £15 35ml – The Fragrance Shop.

We are all loving a bit of psychedelic mayhem at the moment. Electric aluminous is out of control. From bright pink pouts to florescent Lycra (well maybe we shouldn’t be)… Damn you Topshop. But that’s the trouble with being a victim of fashion. Following in the footsteps of this retro trend comes the new fragrance from the Morgan collection; Psychedelice. With a cutesy green, star embossed bottle it has an appeal to younger fragrance fans. Although the scent itself is quite mature, with citrus and fruity hints topped with the best scent there is… Jasmine! It’s not bad little purchase at 15 quid either.

The Power of Plump.

The Power of Plump.

The Skin Doctors Perfect Pout Lip Plumper (£19.95 Boots and Skindoctors.co.uk)

The aftershock flavour did bring back some tormenting teenage memories, and the tingly sensation is not the most pleasant… but pain is beauty ladies, and it does provide results! A plumped out pout was definitely apparent and if you don’t fancy yourself as a collagen filled lovely then use this lip stinger to get an instant result. With continual use this lip enlarger claims to give better and better results, so if you are of the lucky luscious lip lot, then don’t do a Jordan on us please as spoil that pretty pout!
