Oh emm gee guess who we saw in a bar last night??!!! That is right friends, Fred and George Weasley (or James and Oliver Phelps as they are really called) were out celebrating their birthday with a group in Vodka Revolution, Cheltenham. It was a very surreal moment when I nudged my friend and said "is that a Weasley brother behind us?" to which she did a very unconvincing sly look before deciding it was. Without their dyed ginger hair and now with different haircuts they aren't instantly recognisable as the famous twins: one has short spikey hair and one has a kind of Ben from A1 look going on - so they move about pretty unnoticed. They queued for 13 (a local club) which we thought cute - let's be honest with the money they make they could have just hired the place out and from what we saw generally seemed unpretentious and subtle in their movements. One was wearing a blue shirt with tie (shorter hair) - rather good looking guys in real life and the other was wearing a lumberjack red check shirt (longer hair); showing their personalities differ somewhat from each other and their HP characters. Naturally I made this my FB status last night and got a large amount of feedback, including the above quote from my best friend. I think it just shows that however famous you get, however many countries you travel to and whoever you meet along the way, you can't help wanting to be with those you grew up with on your birthday - those who saw you through the puppy fat, spotty, awkward teen years and made it through with you to the other side. Well we have to stay friends with them don't we, they know too much.... Happy Birthday Oliver and James Phelps for yesterday!!

Joggers - Topshop
£35 |
Fashion Trend: Off to the gym (in my heels!)... I know that was a stretch, but I seriously can't think of any fashion trend beginning with an O that isn't orange....no one cares for you orange. So instead I am putting in a trend that I wasn't sure where else to put: the new fancy sportwear trend. Basically for those of you who just thought Rihanna had gone even more insane and started wearing Addidas shorts with heels, she has not, she is the leader of the trend! All the stores are making casual luxe ranges where sportwear comes a little bit more fitted, in nicer fabric and with a more exciting colour than white. You then team with heels, big hair, big jewels etc and rock out with your...shuttlecock out. Tapered joggers, silk tees and cute caps are what we are talking about. So tell your gym instructor to shut up, for once you ARE going to run in heels. I am loving these Topshop Co-ord Jacquard Panther Joggers to be worn with skyscraper heels or fashion sneakers - surprisingly they are also very flattering on.

Oyster Card Case - Orla Kiely
£38 |
Fashion Item: Oyster Card Case - Orla Kiely. So you all know I am moving to London at the end of the week and the only thing (WAY more important than your house keys) that a Londoner cannot lose on a night out is their Oyster Card. Not only that, covers are as fashionable for your card as they are for your iPhone. Now I have found this GORGEOUS one which is by ORLA Kiely is cut OUT plastic and is in ORANGE (damn im good). It attaches to your handbag by a little chain, so you cannot lose it! Brightens up those oh so lovely journeys with your head in the armpit of the only man in London who thinks Dress Down Friday means Dont Wash Friday.

| Kosslyn - Oliver Peoples |
Store or Label: Oliver Peoples - This is a sunglass designer that I love but who often gets overlooked for the bigger and more commercial stars such as D&G and Ray Ban. The last few days have made us realise that summer is most definitely on the way and therefore we all need some new sunnies. Oliver Peoples do the most delicious kinds for men and women with the cutest and most colourful frames and lenses. They also do some really quirky ones, like their Gregory Peck pair, which will please the most hardcore of fashionistas. I am really into catseye sunglasses at the moment so have a hankering for their Kosslyn pair
http://www.oliverpeoples.com/shop/women/sunglasses/kosslyn.html. They have a shape and style to fit everyone so check them out - they aren't cheap but they will last a lot longer than your Primark ones....and not every Tom, Dick and Sally will be wearing them.
Celebrity or Designer: Oscars - I am cheating a little bit here because I know this isnt a person - but it just so happens it is on tonight in America and today is my O day!! Coincidink!! This is the highlight of all the award shows - the night where the celebrities pull out all fashion stops to make sure they trump the other celebs in their categories. The Best Female reads like a Best Dressed as it is: Glenn Close, Viola Davis, Rooney Mara, Meryl Streep, Michelle Williams. The gowns will be decadent, the jewellery will be sparkling and the failures will be HUMONGOUS!! I cannot wait to see Joan Rivers face on Fashion Police tomorrow when some poor, unsuspecting movie star wears a last year Givenchy. I heard when she starts dissing what you are wearing it is like a ghost walking through your body... Anyway, im all about The Help stars winning and especially (and aptly) Octavia Spencer for her supporting role as Minnie. She is such a shy little thing on stage and I loved what she wore to the Baftas - she went all Sharon Stone and wore a white shirt with a black satin floor length skirt (note the colour choices - something of a metaphor seeing as the film is about the coming together of black and white). So good luck to all and I'll give you a head start if I see Joan coming....
Now, go fill those tummies with roasts and settle in for the Oscars - it's going to be a late night.
