Well here we are again with our weekly chart of what we really need!  Or think we need anyway…..xxx

1.  Occasionally we like a little bit of Boden and today we are loving their Green patent sandals

2.  Tickets to Wimbledon….preferably for an Andy Murray match but we won’t be churlish….

3.  New season Chanel Allure Lipstick in Laque Dragon

4.  The perfect Titfer for tennis…. and this one’s from M&S!!!

5.  And for my weekend trolley bag, who better than Orla Kiely…x

Well we’re still buffing and polishing but sadly still eating and drinking but hey sometimes life is too short!  So starting from today, we plan to start each week with a list of must haves for the week!

Perhaps we’ll call it our What a Girl Needs Chart… our top 5 of things we love this week and want!  Now I want doesn’t get, we know and we won’t be able to afford all of them but maybe there’s something that will have you rushing out on a Monday morning, just like they used to do to buy a Take That single…..those were the days! But in true chart fashion, there is no hyping this chart…..(well……..maybe…..)

So here we go: (and in no particular order!)

1.  Estee Lauder Bronze Goddess Aftersun 

2.  L’Oreal Color Appeal EyeShadow in Pure Gold

3.  Kasabian Album - West Ryder Pauper Lunatic Asylum

4.  Hobo International Pear Clutch - available at www.whatagirlneeds.co.uk

5.  Paul Smith Navy Polka Dot One Piece

New chart next Monday…xxxx

Oh we love anything by our favourite wrap designer Chan Luu and our new Black and Gold wrap bracelet is so cool!!!

Imagine the tan (we’re working on it as per below…. can’t say the Power Plate has kicked in yet but hey, still got three weeks to go) and this little baby wrapped around your wrist - sexy, cool and very now!!

So come on - if you haven’t bought into this designer by now, you are seriously missing something!  But hurry cos they’re flying out of WAGN….

So my lovelies it’s that time - time to panic - got 4 weeks exactly till I hit the South of France for my annual me time trip and oh my gosh there’s some work to do!!!

So, to help speed things along, I have spent all today pontificating on what products I must have in my hour of need! (in between getting teenager off a hill for her DofE in the rain!!)

So here goes, in no particular order and all to be purchased in one shopping bag (well that’s the only way there’s even half a chance of this working!!):

1.  Cut picture out of Cameron Diaz on surfboard - there are numerous in the papers most days at the moment… very irritating but you don’t look like that without some work….

2.  Cut picture out of a good Sharon Stone haircut - let’s go shorter and blonder for the Summer….only works when we have the tan and we are slim so here we go…. 

3.   A tube of Prevage Body Moisturiser - expensive but necessary to use every day for the next four weeks!

4.  Biotherm’s Celluli Laser Intensive Night Cream - apparently helps fight fat storage and water retention - bring it on!!

5.  A new pair of Fitflops - no other shoe to be worn for next four weeks - come rain or shine!!

6.  A full set of sessions on the Power Plate - every other day for four weeks - now that is going to be expensive….. but cheaper than that machine that Cheryl Cole has just bought…as if she needs that!!!….

7.  Begin the gradual fake tan… currently liking Fake Bake Radiant Golden Glow but actually also like Clarins Radiance Plus Golden Glow Cream Gel for the face too…

8.  Drink loads of water….say it every time so probably won’t stick to it but will try….

9.  Cut the coffee - now could try the detox in a measured way… ie. try the one coffee a day trick… depends on the work load…but …. the Vodka Slimline…that’s gonna be tough..

10. Buy a new swimsuit and if we have made any progress a new bikini - all from Melissa Odabash!!

Perfect…xx

Is it me or are seasons not seasonal anymore… it’s only June but already the likes of Net-a-Porter and My-Wardrobe are already showing Autumn Winter 09 in stock - now I know the sun went into today but even in anyone’s mind, that’s early isn’t it???  Especially when there has got to be a ton of summer stock still sitting there… so no doubt the sales will kick in and actually we might actually be able to buy things in the sale and still have yet to go on holiday!!!  Happy Days me thinks….. and of course the golden rule is to not actually spend much on Summer clothes - they are too disposable and don’t take the wear that our Winter wardrobe does so all in all, maybe the fashion world has woken up to that fact….

But as we are talking about Jimmy Choos (or I have decided to!), I was sent the email today from their goodselves showing me Pre Fall 2009 (that’s  a trendy name for it isn’t it!!!) and have to say I am quite taken with this season’s new names for various shoes, boots etc…. so it is with great fanfare that we introduce into the world Blaize, Billie, Mandah and Bonnie!!!  Could be a new band for X Factor… my personal favourite being Billie!!

As always, I’m a 38 in Jimmy Choo should anyone feel it necessary to send me a pair!!

Happy Days…..xxxx

Well we like to think that we offer you a variety of ideas and gifts here at What a Girl Needs but there is one thing that we just can’t keep up with demand on and that is our favourite luggage tags!!

But due to popular demand they’re back and already flying!  And by end of week you’ll see we have some groovy new versions of these babies in gold and silver and the pretty floral ones too!!

So with holiday season kicking in, there’s no excuse for losing your Jimmy Choos now….

Happy Holidays…..xxxxxxxxxx
