Celebrity Lifestyle Blogs

Gwyneth started it with the launch of Goop in 2010 and I have noticed that increasingly celebrities are getting on the bandwagon and launching their own lifestyle websites.

I know there are a lot of critics out there but I personally enjoy browsing through them. For pop culture fans like me, you can really get a feel for the person behind the celebrity and get lots of tips in the meantime or even if it is just for a stickybeak.

I give them credit for being entrepreneurial, finding an additional income stream and being in control of their own image and brand.

Aside from Goop, a couple of my other favourite celebrity sites are:

The Tig

Recently launched by Meghan Markle (who plays Rachel Zane on one of my favourite shows, Suits), The Tig is described as 'a hub for the discerning palate - those with a hunger for food, travel, fashion & beauty". Her posts seem very genuine and this page has become one of my frequent reads.

Olivia Palermo

I never watched her on The City but I do love Olivia Palermo's style. Her site is more style than general lifestyle and the "I want what she's wearing" category is always full of outfit inspiration for me.

Carla Zampatti turns 50

This year marks 50 years of the iconic Carla Zampatti fashion label. After being denied a pay rise from her £13 a week job designing blouses for a wholesale fashion house in 1964, she launched her own label a year later and the rest is fashion history. The fashion house celebrated yesterday with the 2015 Spring/Summer showcase in Sydney at the Opera House. A beautiful, elegant and gorgeous collection. Well played Ms Zampatti.

West Elm Market, Brooklyn

I want one of these to open up here in Singapore where there is a serious lack of cool homewares stores! This looks like my kind of shop. The West Elm Market focuses on selling goods from 4 key product areas - kitchen, garden, care & repair and personal care. Products are available online here images via West Elm

Music memories

I have the office to myself this afternoon so I can ditch the headphones and am turning up the music. I used to be really up to date with music, read music blogs and keep up with new songs, artists, go to gigs.. but this has sort of faded out in the last few years. These days I seem to rely a lot on Spotify and their playlists and recommendations which is great for busy people! But this afternoon I am feeling a bit nostalgic so reminiscing and playing some songs played at our wedding back in 2010 which is bringing back some beautiful memories. Walking down the aisle: First dance:
