Robert Pattinson for Dior Homme
A new uncensored clip from Robert Pattinson’s long awaited Dior Homme
campaign has been released. Directed by Romain Gavras, photographed by Nan Goldin and featuring model Camille Rowe, the black and white clip shows a brooding, chiseled Robert clad handsomely in Dior… I’ve never beeeen more #TeamEdward.
Cheryl Cole's Rosy Cheeks
You know you’ve made it when the nation is up in arms over your rosy cheeks...
Cheryl Cole has responded to the backlash of criticism she received after unveiling her rearly dramatic tattoo (which took 55 hours to create and cost a whopping £14,000!) by explaining, “I have personal meaning behind it but English roses are my favourite flowers.” Peonies are mine, but preferably in a vase…
DISCO London
The opening of Disco (owned by nightclub entrepreneurs Duncan Stirling, above right with wife Zoe Stirling, and Charlie Gilkes, above left with finance Anneke Von Trotha Taylor) has certainly been one of my (Donna) Summer highlights.
Expect glamorous Pan Am-esque stewardesses, choreographed dance routines and DJs spinning classic vinyl disco tracks from inside an oversized glittery disco ball... And if that isn’t kitschy cool enough, cocktails will be served in miniature Michael Jackson heads by waitresses and waiters in Kylie-stylie gold hot pants!
Since the doors closed on Manhattan's Studio 54, there has never been a more opportune excuse to invest in a white flared suit... You can Blame it on the Boogie.

Disco is open Thursday - Saturday, 11PM-3AM, 13 Kingly Court, Soho.

The 'Leading Ladies' of Marks and Spencer
This is not just any Autumn/Winter’13 campaign... This is an M&S Autumn/Winter’13 campaign. Goodbye lovely Twiggy and sweet Myleene, step forward Marks and Sparks’s latest line up of successful, creative and independent ladies (*insert preferred Beyonce song whilst reading); Helen Mirren, Grace Coddington, Ellie Goulding, Karen Elson, Darcey Bussell, Katie Piper, Helen Allen, Nicola Adams, Laura Myula, Monica Ali and a very miserable, almost pained, looking Tracey Emin (well, she is more used to mostly wearing Vivienne Westwood after all!) Shot by photographer Annie Leibovitz in various dramatic locations, including on a boat at Tower Bridge (above), this ‘womanist’ (ew!) campaign must have cost a fortune to put together. I can’t help but wonder if something a bit simpler (and maybe a bit smilier?!) may have been more cost effective.
HAWT: Olivia Palermo in 7 For All Mankind
Hawt = A late 1940's and early 1950's acronym for "Having A Wonderful Time."
Now the word is used on the internet as slang for something reeeeally hot.
Even when hitting the streets of NYC, smoothie in hand, Olivia Palermo’s off duty, casual double denim outfit still managed to look as beautifully polished and glossy as the lady herself. Wearing a vintage look, loose fitting 7 For All Mankind denim shirt, skinny jeans, neon camouflage flats by Pretty Loafers and so ‘of-the-moment’ festival friendly reflective-lens sunglasses, Olivia (and her permanently perfect red nails) looked HAWT!
Charlotte Olympia's Incy Collection
Charlotte Olympia, my FAVOURITE shoe designer of all time, has shrunk her favourite six pretty and playful flats, (including the Kitty Flats, left, loved by Alexa Chung) to fit the luckiest of little girls... I've never wanted smaller feet more. The collection, called Incy, takes inspiration from the 'Incy Wincy Spider' nursery rhyme.
"I always thought I'd design little shoes for little people as soon as I had a girl" said designer Charlotte Dellal,"however, with two boys now and a third child on the way - I decided to finally launch 'Incy' regardless. Maybe I'll have a girl this time!"

Streck
I am constantly on the hunt for the latest, innovative and unique personalized gifts – nothing is more special or thoughtful. One of the most bespoke and exceptionally cool companies I have recently come across is Streck, founded by Caroline Strecker in 2012, and loved by model Poppy Delevigne (left) a.k.a POPDOG.
Distinctive, super-soft Streck t’shirts and Streck hoodies are created using sheets of vinyl and sealed with heat, ensuring their vibrant designs never fade. With a variety over 30 different designs, shapes, logos and colours (including bright neons and glow in the dark) to choose from, as well as an exclusive collection of limited-edition pieces, creating the perfect individualized style for you or a friend has never been easier.
Above: I was thrilled to receive my own personalized olive-grey Streck hoodie, emblazoned with my hood(ie) name ‘K-Dawg,' which I’ve found to be a brilliant casual throw on/off during this unpredictable summer, and an ace festival accompaniment.
