Faithful readers of this little blog may remember my former intern, Yuri (who’s now interning at W! Wish her luck!). She recently dropped me a line because she thought I’d like this adorable Gabriela Artigas bracelet ( $110, tobi.com). You…

The ‘Big Brother’ housemates completed their rapping task this afternoon. The group were tasked with creating rhymes about their time in the house and once they had written their verses they were provided with costumes - consisting of baggy jeans, baseball hats and lots of gold jewellery - in which to perform. Musician Darnell - who has entertained…

Rex teased Mikey this afternoon, and then decided to laugh at all the ex-housemates who hadn’t made it to the ‘Big Brother’ final. As Darnell, Sara and Mikey lay relaxing in the living room, Rex decided to spice up their afternoon by picking on Mikey. Mikey said: “Wow. This house feels empty.”

Round four is where the men’s US Open tennis has really come alive and with the top three seeds struggling it looks wide open as to who will make it to the final on Sunday.

The worst thing about traveling is packing tons of mini bottles and
toiletries, only to find out they’ve leaked/exploded/stained clothes in
your bag when you arrive at your destination! But Trina has put an end to that problem with a chic resolution — a supercute line of cosmetics and accessory bags!

Trina’s 2008 fall/winter collection is all about merging design and
functionality in bags that have zippered pockets, space dividers, and
different sections for organizing all of your beauty and travel needs.
Some of the bags are so glam they could even double as a clutch to wear
on a date or to a party, like this Steel Yourself Frame Purse (right) for $34.

Thanks to Trina, packing and partying just got a whole lot cuter! To locate a retailer near you, call 800-833-5562.

Read a study (in a journal called “Progress in Electromagnetics Research”, if you must know!) that linked cell phones with disrupted sleep (they blame the radiation and “electronic smog”). Eek! That’s a good reason to turn off your phone while…
