Mandy talks business and fashion with the lovely Bourjois ladies during the OSOYOU.com breakfast at London Fashion Weekend. It always pays to have friends who work in cosmetics...you never know when you’re going to need an emergency mascara!
If you had your eye on OSOYOU.com last week (and let's face it, any fashionista worth her weight in organic rock salt should have been watching), you'll have noticed our extensive fashion coverage of London Fashion Week.
This time around, it's the turn of style-lover's paradise London Fashion Weekend. We thought we'd head down there and host a breakfast for all our friends in PR, press and retail.
It's all hard work, honest; see all those people by The Chambord Bar sipping bucks fizz and looking like they’re having a great time? Deep down inside, they're secretly lamenting having to miss that first few hours in front of the computer at work.
So, anyone for another croissant?
Our lovely creative director Mandy Key addresses everybody at a breakfast for all our PR, press, and retail chums, thanking them for all the support in getting OSOYOU.com started.
Also in the picture are OSOYOU.com's Sarah Woodhead (creative director) and Ruth Barry (business development manager), who are both part of the team behind the UK's first social shopping and fashion site for women.
It always feels good to be first.
Ok, this could get really old really quickly but to be honest, if you're the sort of person who doesn't find ogling pictures of the soon to come Sex and the City movie exciting then I have to seriously question if we can ever be friends.
The best thing about this latest snap shot of the SATC ladies is that it's all there; Charlotte's uptown princess chic, Carrie's downtown edge, Miranda practical yet sexy and Samantha's Eighties power glamour. Oh, and not to forget my heart racing at the anticipation of this long awaited movie.
Could the film not live up to the legendary series? Possibly. Does the Patricia Field styled wardrobe look set to be as good as ever? Most definitely. Can I last until May 2008 for the film’s release? Yes, on a medication of daily Cosmopolitans and re-runs of my DVD box set.
Ok readers, it's time for a million dollar question: If you had £10,000 to put an outfit together would you look any better than if you had £200? I don't know the answer, but i'd really like the money to find out!
The clever and gorgeous OSOYOU team began a debate on whether money can buy you style on Friction TV. You can watch what they have to say right here. What do you think? Have your say, and join the debate!

London Fashion Week began today, and once again Paul Costelloe's models were the first down the catwalk.
Metallics and bold prints featured heavily in the collection which was very feminine and very wearable: or at least i'd love to find it wearable if I could only afford a little designer retail therapy. *sigh*

Wow, that's quite some outfit Lucy Liu has on there.
To be fair, she's not just off to buy a pint of milk in that funky combo. This pic is from the set of Cashmere Mafia, a show that looks at the lives, loves and fashions of four high-powered career women in NYC.
Sound familiar? What with writer Darren Star producing the show, and Patricia Field returning as resident stylist, it looks like we’ve got ourselves a whole new Sex and the City to get obsessed with.
It's obvious that Lucy Liu is the Carrie Bradshaw-a-like character, with this get-up looking very much like her wardrobe circa seasons 4/5. The problem is, Lucy Liu just can't do justice to this tartan hat and blazer, pastel pink shorts, knee high grey socks and gold wedge sandals combo like good ol' SJP.
In fact she looks a lot more like...(drum roll please)...Lucy Eeew.
