Our long-term aim to ruin our language by forcing the Oxford English Dictionary to accept terms like short-tent in their weighty tome is newly invigorated, Kickettes!

- Sadly, we learned that Stephen Ireland’s longtime girlfriend, Jessica Lawlor, sustained major injuries in a car crash that occurred midweek last week. The 25-year-old Mum was supposedly riding shot gun in her friend’s Audi before the luxe car crashed into a tree. Although she was initially treated and discharged with a clean bill of health, she returned to the hospital two days later due to suspected internal bleeding and/or organ damage. We hear she’s healing nicely, but we’re sending our thoughts & warmest get-well-soon wishes to Jess & fam anyway.

Botox and blindingly bright teeth jokes aside, we’ve fallen fast for Christine Bleakley’s full-on fringe bangs. While not entirely a new phenomenon – she used to style her part in a side-sweeping manner – we felt there’s no better time than the present to tell you how much we’re diggin’ her lively layers.
Question is, Kickettes, how do you think Bleakley’s hair measures up to Coleen Rooney’s face-framing pieces from ’09?
Also – we need her Burberry trench in our closet collections. Like, yesterday.
