Jemma's Column
November 2008
What a month we have had on Style in The City, well I should say I have had. It started with me having my hair cut by hairdresser of the year – Angelo Seminara. He works with Trevor Sorbie who has brought a bit more glamour to the city with his new salon. I love my new shaggy, just out of bed look and even more of a bonus it takes me a matter of minutes to do it.
I also had the pleasure of attending the launch of Vicky Martin’s new look store in The Triangle. She has at last given into peer group pressure and gone all vintage on us. I love the idea of copying the likes of Gwyneth Paltrow and Anne Hathaway and wearing vintage to swanky events. I could tell you it’s because my issues are green or I am pulling in the purse strings but in fact the reason is I am so vain I dread the thought of turning up in the same dress as somebody else.
Coming up over the following month I will be out and about filming Christmas pressies, party dresses and jewellery but the thing I am looking forward to most is our Style In The City event at Manchester’s exclusive Circle Club. Our show is put together with the help of Manchester’s fashionistas without them we couldn’t do it. So, we are throwing them a huge thank you bash offering all the things you would find in a typical episode of Style In The City. We have pampering, champers, fashion and dance – who could ask for more – hunky male models? – got them as well.
Just before I sign off here are the things I am glad for this month – autumn, I love winter fashion it’s so effortlessly snuggly. Christmas cups at Starbucks, it’s means the big guy in red will be visiting in a few weeks. And finally, dark nights, call me romantic but I love curling up on the sofa with a glass of red!!
