we all need to eat, get dressed, and look after our gorgeous selves. the world does not stop just because we are feeling lazy from hol's. no sir.
still spooky.
we love him for his haute couture. we love him even more for his new more affordable diffusion collection. the 'K'
karl lagerfeld line is slick and chic. think tailored denim, knitwear, shirts, and tees. basically all the essentials. (a clutch might be nice, though.) at
harrods, 87-135 brompton road. SW1X 7XL. 020.7730.1234. www.karllagerfeld.com
fine dining.
we've seen them in the movies: those small town diners with pleather booths. and they are for real, even in london. head to the
diner in soho (the second branch of the original in shoreditch) and taste some real burger n'shakes. and yes, the décor's authentic, just like the films. 18
ganton street. W1. 020.7287.8962. www.thedinersoho.com
street smart.
metallic is still not dead. at least according to good ol' le
coq sportif. once only tennis guys like yannick noah wore le coq trainers. they are now loved by street kids and media types. the old-school corkers are now produced in, you guessed it, metallic. topshop is where to find them (yes, topshop). 216
oxford street. W1D 1LA. 020.7636.7700. www.lecoq.com
 cyber fashion.
you thought you'd seen enough of them: fashion shopping websites. you couldn't be more wrong. oli.co.uk is a brand-new place in cyberspace with more to do than click'n'shop. there are blogs, trends, high street tips. okay, you have seen it before. but there is nowhere else you can find model-cum-designer jodie kidd's cashmere sweaters and jeans. www.oli.co.uk
once upon a time.
there are fashion icons we should all know about. even our children should learn their fashion lesson. the different
like coco hardback is a wonderful picture-book biography of coco chanel. (who else?) the little ones may as well learn that it's okay to be different, just take coco's journey from being poor and orphaned, to becoming the world's leading style heroine. £8.45. www.amazon.co.uk
when in oxford.
her paintings are lively and bright, and court controversy. artist stella
vine is now showing her (non-sacred) portraits of the likes of princess di and kate moss in her first major exhibition. before august gets busy (and she becomes the talk of the town), make it to oxford where her extraordinary paintings will be on display.
thru september 23. modern art oxford. 30 pembroke street. oxford. 0X1. 01865.722.733.

brave heart.
no matter if you just arrived back from vacay, or you're just about to hit the beach, you should have a freshly waxed you know what by default. arezoo
kaviani was one of the first to bring the brazilian to the UK, but her playboy bikini wax is hitting the crowds. well, at least her celeb-heavy client list coming to her knightsbridge home salon. £65 for a brazilian, £70 for a playboy. arezoo kaviani. hans crescent, SW1. 020.7584.6868. www.arezoo.co.uk
