Milla Jovovich
I love the colour red in clothes and accessories, it's one of the few colours I wear.  Here's a random selection of red pictures.  
They are a little bit Galliano/Dior biased, but John uses red more than any other designer I can think of.  Red can be elegant, glamorous, sexy and dramatic, but never boring.

Freja Beha for Moncler AW10

Photography by Steven Meisel





Here's the gorgeous Freja Beha Erichsen shot by Steven Meisel for Moncler's AW10 campaign.  I love this all cream look anytime of the year but especially for winter.

I wear a lot of cream.  The other day I dug out a pair of cream Joseph knitted leggings I've had for years but never worn.  They're almost identical to these.  I always knew if I kept them long

Thank you Giles xxx

Frida Gustavsson for Giles SS10
My poor old Mac G4 laptop is nearly eight years old.  It's like a dear old lady and could slip off at any minute.  I would be lost without it.  I desperately need a new one but can't afford it at the moment.  For the last couple of days every time I try and do something I get what my friend Jo-Ann Furniss calls "the spinning wheel of death." So annoying!

Sunday music - The brilliant Adele

I went to see Adele at a small private gig before she was signed and her beautiful voice and pure natural talent blew me away.  She has a voice that gives you goose bumps and is one of the few singers who sounds exactly the same, or even better live.  You can't beat that raw energy.

I love her version of Bob Dylan's Make You Feel My Love.  It's such a beautiful song.  A lady did it on X

Saturday night music - The fabulous Grace Jones

I love this!!



This is a tune Mrs Jones introduced me to as I hadn't really listened to much of Grace Jones' newest album.  We were jumping around my sitting room blasting this out.  I love this remix by Aeroplane, it's  amazing!

Bear with it, as it gets going Grace starts rocking out.  Listen to the end and play loud!I absolutely love it.  What do you think?

Corinne Day RIP

Corinne Day(1965-2010)
I was very sad to hear that renowned photographer Corinne Day died early this morning.  Corinne was struck down with a brain tumour thirteen years ago.  After undergoing extensive treatment it seemed the operations were successful, but sadly the condition returned two years ago
Corinne's revolutionary photographs of fourteen year-old Kate Moss catapulted Kate to stardom.

Ruth used a picture of Joanna Lumley as Patsy in Ab Fab for this post, so I shall do the same.  Here's a picture of the delightful Ms Lumley modeling in the Sixties
The gorgeous Ruth from Life, the universe and all that's in it has given me a 'getting to know you' tag.  I've answered some of the questions before, so for fear of boring you rigid I've chosen ten.  Although there are a few I'm

Sun and sea views

The weather has been so awful in London I've barely been out all week.  On the plus side I have finally tackled my washing mountain.  The tumble drier's been going non-stop and the house looks like a Chinese laundry.  I'm now becoming aware of the reality of how many clothes I actually own and it is verging on the ridiculous.  I shall be having a wardrobe sort out next week.  I must do a blog

Ana Beatriz and Alessandra styled by Katie Grand

Here's another sneak preview from October's Vogue Japan.  I love this glamorous shoot featuring Ana Beatriz Barros and Alessandra Ambrosio with beautiful styling by Katie Grand and shot by the fabulous Sølve Sundsbø.
I'm glad to see a return to proper glamour which suits both these girls perfectly.  I love the velvet furniture too!

Time for a cashmere blanket...

Where has our summer gone?  It has poured with rain non-stop all day today in London and pretty much for the last two.  I'm keeping my fingers crossed that we have an Indian summer in September.  I live in hope.
The Actor and I are sitting in front of the TV under our cashmere blankets.  It's like winter again!  I've bought various cashmere blankets from Ebay... You know me, I hate to pay full

I'm loving Anna Dell Russo's "more is more" styling and the colours are fabulous!  I love the combination of black and yellow.  I don't wear real fur myself any more, but I have to admit it does look beautiful.

The benefits of Honegar

After all my posts this weekend about drinking I'm having a slightly healthy period (with the exception of chocolate of course!).  How long this actually lasts is anyone's guess.  Normally it's not for long.
I'm guilty of buying a ton of fruit and veg when I go to the shops, most of which ends up on my neighbours compost heap.  I do try and juice as much as possible but I let that slip too.

The world of Stardoll

George Jones loves this website called Stardoll.   This is the doll he's of me! Bless him, he's been flattering!
I have to admit I'd never heard of Stardoll.  It's another online virtual world, like a fashion/dressing up version of Second Life for ages 7-17.  Some of my friends used to go on Second Life.  They have houses, jobs, friends, they buy land... I found it quite bonkers.  Personally I

Good for nothing...but another great weekend

We left the restaurant about midnight on Friday night and stopped off the all night off licence up the road.  As it was The Actor's Birthday I let him choose what we drank so JD and Coke it was.  Vodka is normally my drink of choice but as I'd had the brandy I was up for anything.  I normally bang on about Coca Cola being toxic when I'm sober.  Anyone remember at school when the put a pork

Birthday dinner at Hawksmoor

On Friday night we went to Hawksmoor which is one of our favourite places to eat.  The restaurant is named after the nearby Christchurch, Spitalfields designed by architect Nicholas Hawskmoor.
Hawksmoor is always busy and on Friday night it was packed.  Famed for it's excellent steak which comes from the Ginger Pig's Longhorn cattle reared on their farm in Yorkshire.  You order your meat weight

It's The Actor's Birthday today

It's The Actor's 40th Birthday today!  He's catching up with me at last.  I'm eighteen months older than him... so he's not exactly a toy boy!

Why is it SO difficult for men to tell you what they'd like a presents?  I have no problem coming up with something, yet they just umm and ahh about it for ages and still can't come up with a single thing!

I'd love buy him a really simple Rolex but

Georgia Jagger for Hudson Jeans

Photography by Mario SorrentiI'm a fan of Georgia May Jagger and I really like the new Hudson Jeans campaign shot by the fantastic Mario Sorrenti at Aldor Manor, an Italian Renaissance house in New York. I love the jeans with the buttons too.I wonder whether Mick approves of Georgia's modeling career, I know he wasn't too keen on her following in Jerry's footsteps. Whilst Georgia said the

A big thank you to Alison Cross

It's funny how our paths cross... I have been a big fan of Alison Cross's blog Hestia's Larder for a while. I wrote about it yesterday because it always makes me laugh and I wanted more people to discover it. Last week I did a Christian Dior giveaway and Alison's name was picked by designer Mrs Jones. What I didn't know was as I was writing about Ali, this parcel was winging it's way to me in

Buela the Enchanted Doll for LOVE magazine

Photography by Mert Atlas and Marcus Piggott


The next LOVE magazine cover is Buela a unique handmade doll that takes almost a year to make, she is Ms Perfect. I don't really know what to say about this one... The face reminds me strangely of the model Gemma Ward.  It's an interesting choice for a LOVE cover.

Agyness Deyn for LOVE magazine

Photography by Mert Atlas and Marcus PiggottAnother of LOVE's eight covers. I think this is a beautiful picture of Agy shot by Mert and Marcus, but I am of the old school that a cover girl should look like a cover girl, especially for the September issue. I haven't seen the other covers yet but my absolutely favourite has to be Rosie Huntingdon-Whiteley for sheer

Blogs of note - Hestia's Larder

HestiaI love Alison Cross's blog Hestia's Larder, it's one of my daily must-reads. Cleverly named after Hestia the greek goddess of home and hearth, Alison does not purport to be this, in fact quite the opposite. Her blog has the tag line "Hestia's Larder - Burnt offerings at the altar of domestic goddessness."Alison is a gifted and funny writer. She is fairly new to the blogosphere and I think

Film - The Pumpkin Eater

I shall be watching Anne Bancroft in The Pumpkin Eater on BBC2 at 12.20am.
I love Sixties films and this is one of my favourites, although it is quite disturbing in places.  Adapted from the novel by Penelope Mortimer and made in 1964, Anne Bancroft is excellent starring as a twice married London woman with six children.  Her third husband played by Peter Finch is a fledgling screenwriter who

Sunday Music - Rufus and Chaka Khan

Rufus and Chaka Khan
This record brings back so many memories, as soon as I hear the opening bars I want to get up and dance. I was fourteen when this came out in 1983.  It reminds me  going to local discos, hanging out with my friends and my boyfriend at the time who was the coolest boy at school.  He was a skinhead had huge blue eyes and was gorgeous!  This was just before I'd discovered the

Happy Birthday Madonna

Here's Madonna arriving at her Birthday party at Shoreditch House in the East End this evening.  A few friends have gone.  I wonder who her dress is by?  I'll look forward to seeing all the pictures tomorrow.

A big thank you... and lots of shoes!

I had a telephone call from my friend Ruth from Life, the universe and all that's in it last week asking me what size my feet are.  I used to be a five and a half, I'm not sure whether it's due to excessive wearing of Ugg boots in the winter but my feet seem to have grown. Depending on the make of shoe and the height of the heel my feet can be anything from a five and a half to a six and a

A house with history

41 Cloth Fair, London EC1
I love looking at architecture and particularly interiors.  I've never been a fan of modern houses and it's well known I can't bear Ikea, all that chipboard and MDF makes me feel quite peculiar!  I could make an exception for a beautiful open plan penthouse of course, but generally I think new houses are pokey and badly built and most modern interiors are boring, I

My TV dinner

The Actor is still in Cape Town filming, I am missing his gorgeous face, but it does mean I don't have to cook.  I now only eat when I'm hungry and can pick all sorts of odd things.  He gets hypo-glycaemic if he doesn't have regular meals, he loves his food.

I'm still having my girlie weekend with Mrs Jones.  We stayed up all night on Friday downloading music and jumping around the sitting room.  We love introducing each other to new music.  
Here is a brilliant song from Willis called Take You High from her album Come Get Some.  She reminds of Etta James or Janis Joplin, she has an amazing voice.  Everyone thinks she's black but she's white and

The benefits of silk pillows

I keep seeing ads for Olay's new wake up wonder cream which promises to wake up a tired, creased face.   I look a fright in the morning, The postman has given me odd looks on a few occasions when I've answered the door looking like I've been electrocuted as my hair goes so mental.  Thankfully I never have a creased face or sheet marks since I started buying silk pillowcases.  It might sound

Presents from Giles and Mrs Jones is here. Yeeeeahhh!

I thought Georgia was a lovely girl, very bright and mature beyond her years.The documentary shows the complex relationship

Sunday music - The wonderful Richie Havens

When I saw my friend Fee Doran on Friday night we stayed up playing each other some great music we'd come across.  Fee introduced me to Richie Havens.  I am quite blown away by him.  He's one of those performers that makes the hair on the back of your neck stand up.
This is him opening Woodstock in 1969, the year I was born.  His Birthday is the day before mine.  I love him!! and as Fee
