What's Hot, What's Not - Your Weekly Guide to Cool

Hot_20_august

1 - Keira for Chanel

Have you seen the latest ads for the Chanel perfume Coco Mademoiselle? Starring Keira Knightly stripped bare with nothing but a bowler hat (going to be big next season, along with top hats - we swear!), a necklace and a discarded shirt to protect her modesty, the ads are sure to cause a stir - not least amongst the men of the population.

2 - Heath Ledger

As if we didn't love this hottie enough already - now news reaches us that Heath Ledger saved Maggie Gyllenhaal from going up in a blaze of flames. The pair were filming the new Batman movie, Dark Knight, together when a special effects generator fell over, setting Maggie's skirt on fire - thankfully Heath was on hand to put the fire out which, according to a eye-witness, was incredibly lucky as the actress could have been "seriously injured". Ooh, we've come over all funny imagining Heath in a fireman's uniform...

3 - ASOS Magazine

It's arrived! The September issue of the ASOS Magazine is now available - and featuring exclusive interviews with Cameron Diaz, Sienna and Savannah Miller and our very own Head of Creative, it's an absolute must-read. The new issue is free with any order from ASOS.com - so get clicking!

1 - The Return of the Football Season

Football has been back in the hearts of our men-folk for just over a week now, and that means less room in there for us. Suddenly we find ourselves alone on Saturday afternoon shopping trips and unable to get anywhere near the remote on whilst Match of the Day is on. But hang on - that means shopping in peace, with no one moaning that their feet hurt or exclaiming that we can't possibly be considering spending that much money on a pair of shoes. And an excuse to vacate the house and hit the town with our friends every Saturday night. Hell, we've got this all wrong - this should be in the "Hot" list!

2 - Stiletto Fun Run

Yes, you read that right - the first German Glamour magazine stiletto 100m dash took place in Berlin over the weekend, with 100 Glamour readers taking part. The rules stated that heels height must be at least 7cm and heels could be no thicker than 1.5cm. Hmm - glamorous women dashing here, there and everywhere in killer heels? Sounds like an average day in the office to us...

3 - New Season Panic

Now, we can't help feel that fashion's been a tad unfair to us. Having let us spend practically an entire year hiding every last lump and bump under an ever so forgiving smock  top or sack dress, all of a sudden it springs a incredibly body-con season upon us, full of fitted tailoring, cinched in waists and teeny-weeny dresses. Cue panic - we've hit the gym, maintained a diet similar to that of a rabbit and measured our waist on almost an hourly basis. One inch down, only about, oh we don't know, TWENTY MILLION to go. We're exhausted - pass us the pizza...
