OK, so the U.S. is heading towards recession, depression... possibly so are we. So who has thousands and thousands to spend on a dress?

Not Mischa Barton! Thats for sure! Poor thing hasn't worked in ages!! Tsk Tsk.

Anyway, for a quick pick me up, how about this amazing Bless'ed Are The Meek dress, right on trend to the SS 09 runways of the USA. As seen in ADAM up the top and in Bless'ed Are The Meek down below.

Naomi Does Good In Nigeria... Sort Of...

Naomi Campbell, desperate to shed her troubled image, recently made a trip to Nigeria to launch the country's 'Green Initiative'.

The 38 year old London-born beauty travelled to the African republic's capitol city of Ajuba... got down on hands and knees... well... heels, and posed with a small spade... miming planting a tree for the paps.

As you do.

Also, i know i always garden in white. Don't you?

But honestly, enough about Africa. Look at her Chloe Myrte sunglasses.

Incredible!!!

Just Because!

Annette's Frock Of The Week - July 24th 2008

TREND ALERT!!

Ruffle me this! Ruffle me that!

One of the great trends on the European SS 08 09 runways was tiered ruffles as seen in Blessed Are The Meek’s collection for Spring Summer!

The ruffle trend when worn well will give you a romantic touch that is perfect for summer- The thrill of frills – layers and tiers!

The contestant in the final week of July on the Elephant Runway is Blessed Are The Meek's - Tatum Frilled Dress. This dress is my favourite as it has a romantic appeal. The Tatum dress is sleeveless with a lovely delicate ruffle from the left to the right. The colour palette is a cream with black.

Girly girls will fall head-over-heels for Blessed's Spring's romantic ruffle trend.

Hard and soft, sheer and solid, dark and light - just like real-life love affairs. The secret to the ruffle look is to keep it simple.

Don't be afraid to wear your heart on your sleeve this summer!

Shimmer In Winter!

Boutique perfumer, Renée Griffith, lives by the philosophy that fragrance should be that “something about you” which others find alluring and captivating – absolutely unforgettable when you leave.

Renée has broadened her already impressive collection by introducing an ingenious, unique fragrance product, Satin Shimmer.

Perfect for winter, the spray nourishes the skin with a light quick-drying oil formula, which leaves a subtle white-base shimmer, giving skin an iridescence, one much more natural and versatile than stark golden bronzers.

Satin Shimmer is scented with top notes of Green Banana Leaves & Water Fern, middle or heart notes of Pink Honeysuckle, Frangipani, Plum Blossom & Hyacinth with a base of Ambrette Seed and Dry Woods.

Annette's Dress Of The Week...Cybele

The contestant in the final week of June on the Elephant Runway is Cybele – “The Celestial Dress” – A Heavenly Body.

This dress is considered to be “very much of the moment”. The colour pallet is vibrant, dark and moody entwining lilac and purple, like the midnight sky. The Celestial dress is floaty with a long ruched neck that will make you swirl away into your dreams. Cybele’s new Spring/Summer 08/09 collection for the season can take you to a fancy dinner, a bar or a classy jazz club. The focal point of this week’s frock is the colour as it is bold and beautiful.
