This is Luisa de Paula she's the buying director of one the biggest ÌýSo in terms of the fashion food chain that makes her bloomin important... I spoke to Luisa just as she'd had the chance to mop her fashionable brow after the Burberry Porsum show.

I partied at Elle Style awards last night.. .. was really good fun.. especially enjoyed lifting my floor length number to boogie to Doneo 'Party Hard' played at the after-party, fashionistas bobbed in mutual agreement and well dressed heeled ladies defintelyÌýpartied hard. They were presented by Lorraine Candy (below) and Henry Holland. Henry's a mover and shaker ya'know, he presents, dj's and is also a self taught fashion designer. I spoke to him, whilst he was still flustered and being rushed by friends and family after his 2010 , which I'm pleased to say was full of swag...

THE GREAT FASHION SWAP... Hmmm

Post categories:

Gemma | 15:06 UK time, Sunday, 21 February 2010

And so reppin as the Radio 1 Fashion expert.. I headed to London Fashion Week this weekend.. For all sorts of stuff...

The first challenge set was a phoner with Jo Whiley on her Saturday show... I was to swap my favourite sunglasses for some fashionably great things. Only thing is, some might say I went down the fashion food chain...

FIRST OFF: Rayban sunnies that I'm convinced

Swapped for a pink pair of pants..(look below!)
I think I got over excited and then swapped the pants for some
Then themÌýswapped for Supportits (that act as a stick on bra) and s (that stop you from sweating)! I'm disappointed in myself... Not fashion enough for my liking..

Last night saw the 30th Birthday of The Brit Awards I was on the Red Carpet finding out how people were feeling and checking out what they were wearing - Check the pic's

BRITS flipped my top right off.......... okay - well not literally! I kept my top on actually... But I did have a fantastic night! Feel rough as burnt toast today though and now have to go and move house!

Click here to listen again to tales from the BRIT's red carpet from the Breakfast show! Listen out for sweet smelling JLS, a very excited Alexandra Burke, Florence talking to handbags, and N-Dubz campaigning... Just a few of the things....

waist-line speaks

Post categories:

Gemma | 10:21 UK time, Wednesday, 10 February 2010


Hi this is waist-line (my first ever blog entry!)

I have hi-jacked Gemma's account to talk about what it is like to work on the breakfast show
I am here for 8 weeks on a traineeship and I am already 4 weeks through, it has gone so fast!!! I'm basically just going to talk about 3 things I didn't know happened on the 1Xtra Breakfast Show:

1. (I don't understand how) Trevor and Gemma are actually as lively in the studio as they sound on the airwaves (especially gemma!)

2. You become immune to meeting famous people after the first day or two when people like Matt Damon, Morgan Freeman, Katie Price (to name just a few) swan past it doesn't really phase you.

3. 4:30am start is so much more horrible than it sounds!

More reports on the way keep your ears to the ground and your eyes to the screen

TOP OF THE SHOPS with Jo Whiley today

A BODY IMAGE EDITION TO TOP OF THE SHOPS..

At 1Xtra and Radio 1 we've been focussing on body image... We even airbrushed some of our boobs... and muscles and heads too.

So I decided to compile a list of products that promised natural enhancement and joy.

Ìý

1. CORE PRECISISON UNDERSHIRT FOR MEN.

According to the texts a lot of men are already involved in the control undergarment scene already. Spanx are launching ManxÌý in coming months, even Marks and Spencers have a range..! This is was my favourite from Equmen.. Promises to imrpove posture, and looks fantassimo under your everyday clothes.. for the science bit.

2. SMART MEMORY BRA

ÌýEmbracing the fashionable technology of 2010, I've chosen this clever bra for Top of the Shops today. Each cup contains a reveloutionary material that was invented for the US Space programme (aka memory foam), that will mould and fit the wearers exact bust shape!

memorybraedit.jpg

3. FRANGIPANI ORGANIC SOLID PERFUME

ÌýPerfume is an accesory and as Jo put it today.. "I'll always remember when I meet people those who smell nice and those who don't!" So it's important to pong with panache I say! This solid Frangipani (a nice, exotic flower) smelling perfume fits perfectly into your back pocket, is made from 100% natural ingrediants (so good for sensitive types) and is such a bargain too at £9.50 from .

Hope you enjoyed... Was lovely to see Jo as usual..

Oh & do let me know what you think...
