The Audi Fashion Festival 2013 opened last night. The preliminary madness that surrounded Karl Lagerfeld’s visit to Singapore to launch Chanel’s 2013 Cruise Collection, exactly a week ago, couldn’t have been a better warm up (the Chanel event was a massive operation almost entirely managed out of Paris; they booked out the whole of the Raffles Hotel, roads were closed…it was huge).

I’ve got a hacking cough at the moment and am feeling pretty sorry for myself (deliciously hot buttered white toast stuffing session justified then). Not only do I feel awful, I sound it too.
I’d never even heard of Black Seed Oil before last week but have recently been told by several people out here that it’s an Asian homeopathic wonder oil, good for respiratory ails as well as a bunch of other things including (rather alarmingly in my case as I’d hoped those days were behind me) increased breast milk production.

Like millions of other women around the world, I own several of Diane von Furstenberg’s eponymous wrap dresses (one of which I bought for a song in the Woodbury Commons outlet, just outside New York).
On reflection I think I probably love her more for her use of the retro prints that she sometimes makes them in than for the cut of the dresses themselves.
If you vaguely agree and have either a daughter or know a child you may only even half like, then hurry up and log on to Gap to snap up some of her creations she’s done for her collaboration with them (Gap Kids and Baby Gap that is….sadly the collection is only for children, and girls at that).
