Goodbye Domino

I was so shocked to find my favorite interior and living space magazine has ceased production. I could not believe it

Also to my Great disappointment Oprah Home has been discontinues. I noticed I am one of those unfortunate people that when I find something I like and is not so exposed to every single person in the world it gets discontinued like my favorite nail polish by Mac, or my favorite body butter by The Body Shop, Or favorite Deli round the corner from me at work. Why oh why???

Victoria Beckhams clothing line

Victoria Beckham launched her own clothing line this month and attend a private preview evening at Selfridges.

Her clothes are reported to have already sold out. Have to say I am a bit disappointed about that because i really love the dresses and cannot wait to see what Victoria will create next.

Prices ranges between £650 and £1,900, Hmmm a bit on the pricey side wondering if she would create something for the everyday high street shoppers like moi.

Word is Posh gained some assistance from designer Roland Mouret, remember the Roland Mouret dresses worn by every one from Beyonce to Dita Von Teese? Have to say good work POSH

Napket, SNOB Food!

Look what we found!

Ok we kept it away from you for 3 weeks now but i think this lovely chain of boutique cafes will blow you away this its amazing organic food.

Napket has a very slick interior design, including iPods at the breakfast bar and Philippe Starck chairs. The whole thing is covered in black gloss, even the toilet paper is black, creating a style more usually found in a slick bar than a cafe.

The name Napket comes from merging 'Napkin' and 'Market' which gives a clue as to the kind of food you get and the way its served up.

There's a 'create your own' salad bar as well as good quality ready-made salads and sandwiches.

'Snob food' is Napket's strapline but really it's neither expensive nor exclusive. It's a chic and surprisingly affordable place to eat.

Our Favorite at the moment here at "Hotbabes" is the GRANNY’S POT : Greek Yogurt, Homemade Granola, Honey £2.40 and FRESHLY JUICED FRUITS

lizz Wright

Right, this week we are loving the sultry voice of, 28-year-old Jazz vocalist Ms Lizz Wright, on her current album, 'The Orchard', she decided it was time to return to her roots, capture the simplicity of the blues and gospel music she heard whistle growing up as the daughter of a minister, in the rural town of Hahira, Ga, where she sang in church there with her two siblings.

Her first two albums, "Salt" (2003) and "Dreaming Wide Awake" (2005), were hits on Billboard's contemporary jazz chart.

This current album has a variety of producers including Craig Street, who has worked with Cassandra Wilson and k.d. lang, musician Toshi Reagon, and guitarist and longtime Bob Dylan sideman Larry Campbell. It look lizz two years to work on "The Orchard" album and we have to say her work is one to look out for



Enjoy.
