Congratulations to all the brilliant candidates who made their way to Grazia's Perspex Pod in Westfield last week and auditioned to be Grazia's Next Top Intern. We were bowled over by the quality of the candidates - not to mention that many of the wannabe interns had made their way to West London from all over the country! We were overwhelmed with the creative talents on display on...]]>http://www.graziadaily.co.uk/westfield/archive/2008/11/14/grazia-s-next-top-intern---the-results.htmFri, 14 Nov 2008 11:14:57 +0000http://www.graziadaily.co.uk/westfield/archive/2008/11/14/grazia-s-next-top-intern---the-results.htm
Wow, we can't believe our week making the magazine live from Westfield is over. We're back in our Covent Garden offices with the issue sitting in our hands right now (it hits shelves tomorrow of course) and it's almost like the whole thing's been a surreal dream. We did a live fashion shoot in the central atrium of the shopping centre, went StyleHunting, met loads of you lot at...]]>http://www.graziadaily.co.uk/westfield/archive/2008/11/10/team-six--team-grazia-go-shopping.htmMon, 10 Nov 2008 12:47:11 +0000http://www.graziadaily.co.uk/westfield/archive/2008/11/10/team-six--team-grazia-go-shopping.htm
Surrounded by Habitat's gorge stuff this week has got us a) moaning that Grazia towers doesn't match up to the glamour factor and b) itching to redecorate. Lily Russo our website fashion assistant has got her eye on the table in the fashion office, Claire Irving, our editor at large loves the perspex chairs in our supersleek interview room, associate Editor Vicky Harper wants to buy...]]>http://www.graziadaily.co.uk/westfield/archive/2008/11/07/hurrah-for-habitat.htmFri, 07 Nov 2008 18:09:16 +0000http://www.graziadaily.co.uk/westfield/archive/2008/11/07/hurrah-for-habitat.htm
Oh we do have our little ‘crushes' at Grazia! This week it's blowdry bars (we're obsessed!) and ‘the Bardot'; the fabulous chignon created by the lovely hair stylists at Daniel Hersheson. Fashion news assistant Hannah Almassi was the first to kickstart the trend on Monday - and has had one every day since! Since then beehive-mania has spread like wildfire - at present count there's...]]>http://www.graziadaily.co.uk/westfield/archive/2008/11/07/meet-the-queen-bees.htmFri, 07 Nov 2008 17:26:00 +0000http://www.graziadaily.co.uk/westfield/archive/2008/11/07/meet-the-queen-bees.htm
We knew about M.A.C, House of Fraser and Debenhams' beauty halls but during our week here at Westfield, we've had the time to scout out some of the undercover brands in beauty - and Inglot is top of our list! If bright eye shadows, lip colours and nail varnishes are all part of your look, you'll feel like a kid in a candy store when you step into this make up boutique. It's already...]]>http://www.graziadaily.co.uk/westfield/archive/2008/11/07/undercover-beauty-gem-spotted-at-westfield-.htmFri, 07 Nov 2008 14:03:58 +0000http://www.graziadaily.co.uk/westfield/archive/2008/11/07/undercover-beauty-gem-spotted-at-westfield-.htm
If you're looking for an excuse to leave work early today (after all it is Friday!) then here it is. Why not join us here at Westfield and take part in the Gap style challenge? Grazia's fashion team will be running through all the hot trends for this winter - all in store at Gap right now - and then five lucky contestants will have the chance to style up their own outfit. The winning...]]>http://www.graziadaily.co.uk/westfield/archive/2008/11/07/take-the-gap-style-challenge.htmFri, 07 Nov 2008 12:58:46 +0000http://www.graziadaily.co.uk/westfield/archive/2008/11/07/take-the-gap-style-challenge.htm
Over recent years we've seen some half-hearted attempts to recycle the trademark ‘80s crimp - but now it seems to have made a full comeback. Hot off the catwalk from this season's Luella show, we've spotted the uber-crimp look on Tyra Banks and Christina Aguilera of late. Then at last night's MTV Europe Music Awards ultra-cool Katie White of the Tings Tings arrived sporting bright...]]>http://www.graziadaily.co.uk/westfield/archive/2008/11/07/is--80s-crimping-making-a-comeback.htmFri, 07 Nov 2008 11:14:25 +0000http://www.graziadaily.co.uk/westfield/archive/2008/11/07/is--80s-crimping-making-a-comeback.htm
It's Press Day. We're making the magazine live from a Perspex pod in the central atrium of Westfield shopping centre. What do you think will happen? Plus as the stress hits in we decide to set ourselves even more of a challenge - conduct a major credit-crunch shopping survey in less than 48 hours and take to the ‘streets' of Westfield to StyleHunt live for the magazine. Eeek! Will the...]]>http://www.graziadaily.co.uk/westfield/archive/2008/11/07/episode-5--press-day-stress-hits-grazia.htmFri, 07 Nov 2008 09:38:49 +0000http://www.graziadaily.co.uk/westfield/archive/2008/11/07/episode-5--press-day-stress-hits-grazia.htm
You know what one of our favourite things has been about Westfield? No, it's not shopping (insane, we know!) but a little discovery we made in the new Apple store. We just had a One to One training in how to create your own fashion blog and make movies from the lovely staff in the UK's third largest store. And it's brilliant. In fact, it's helped turn even the most technophobes in our...]]>http://www.graziadaily.co.uk/westfield/archive/2008/11/07/you-ll-never-guess-what-we-learnt-at-the-apple-store-.htmFri, 07 Nov 2008 08:43:56 +0000http://www.graziadaily.co.uk/westfield/archive/2008/11/07/you-ll-never-guess-what-we-learnt-at-the-apple-store-.htm
So we're getting into the swing of our new home at Westfield. We've learnt to live without peanut butter toast in the morning and weaned ourselves off FB. (It wasn't hard after someone shouted ‘Get off Facebook' from the gallery above our Perspex Pod.) We've seen diamonds sparkle at a Breakfast at Tiffany's Grazia event and raffled off a £545 cocktail ring. And we've interviewed...]]>http://www.graziadaily.co.uk/westfield/archive/2008/11/06/episode-four--the-hunt-for-grazia-s-next-top-intern.htmThu, 06 Nov 2008 12:19:49 +0000http://www.graziadaily.co.uk/westfield/archive/2008/11/06/episode-four--the-hunt-for-grazia-s-next-top-intern.htm
