The FiFi Report 081

US Conde Nast Traveler April:
With a feast de France cover line you have to buy it. Read about the cycling tour through France ‘ A non stop unaplogeticaly high calorie foodie’s Tour of France’ following the Tour De France. Check out the next 7 wonders of the World: Sir Norman Foster’s tower in London (http://www.30stmaryaxe.com), the Matsumoto performing Arts Centre, the Frank Gehry Millenium Park in Chicago and the Anish Kapoor jelly bean sculpture. Read about Toronto ( who knew?) and Vietnam and a funny story on traveling on one of the worlds longest non stop flights ( 18hrs) in economy ( yee gads!) A great read..
UK Elle April:
Hilary Swank is on the cover and the story inside is all about how she loved being 19lbs heavier while shooting Million Dollar Baby ( ‘I felt so full of strength and power and now I’ve dropped 12lbs and I’m kind of sad about it’) But not too sad to lose it. Read who won the Elle Style awards ( Kylie, Cate, Daniel Craig and the kooky guys from Little Britain). There is a great story on Chloe Sevigny and Katie Grand ( uber cool stylist du jour) shows how to do five ways to wear a belt. fascinating. And the fashion? You want the short crop trousers, charms on your bag, a skinny scarf, flats, cuffs and ethnic elements. But you knew that already.
Teen Vogue May:
Love the Camilla Nickerson style print story, (young and funky) and the cool khaki and cream with a dash of gold story. Good enough for grownups to wear. Check out the hot new faces in music: Joss Stone and Dizzee Rascal ( great name) and the story on NOT dieting: finally someone is talking sense and not advising a no carbs diet. Plus there’s as story on Hot Mums ‘is it a blessing or a curse’? ( a curse when you take after Bruce Willis instead of Demi Moore).
