Latest Obsession
When the weather is fine (which we know can be fleeting!) I am loving taking a very long lunch and heading over to Dylan, to dine al Fresco!
They have the most amazing selection of salads, I sip a cocktail, turn off my phone and flip through one or two weekly tabloid mags - and I do it all solo! With a large pair of sunnies and a big brimmed glam straw hat, I soak up the warmth of the sun, enjoy a gourmet meal, tune out the world and take in the summer...
What is your Fabulous Summer Obsession?
Huberman the Heartbreaker
Golden blond hair, gorge blue eyes, leading role in a hit network show and 'the BOD' on her arm, what more could a girl want? A best-selling novel that is what!Amy Huberman's debut novel Hello Heartbreak is out now and it is just what every girl needs in her beach tote this summer time!Check out some excerpts from this totally fab, fun and girly romantic romp!
<<...Twenty something Izzy is fed up. She has split with boyfriend Cian, the dirty love cheat, and is sick of her job as a dogsbody at film company Lights, Camera, Action. If she was paid to write the script of her so-called life (working title: "Welcome to Dumpsville") it would definitely not include: baggy tracksuit bottoms and dread locked hair; her flatmate's ever-present lump of a boyfriend watching everlasting football matches on the living-room TV; ill-advised booty calls; panicky pregnancy tests; and, bumping into Cian and his new squeeze, Brenda, while looking like something the cat spat up. It definitely would include: sleek hair, sleek limbs (come to think of it, more-or-less sleek everything); a Jaffa Cake-eating rabbit called Dermot; a foul-mouthed gran with a heart of gold; Jonathan-absolute-total-ride-Cunningham And, of course...; a girl's best friend, Gavin. Since real life in Dumpsville is way weirder than anything she could make up, all Izzy can do is take a deep breath and hang in there...>>
<<...You’d think twenty-seven years would be enough time to wise up to the rules of love and loss, especially Rule Number 1: Do not, at any time, let him see how much he has hurt you. But no, Izzy Keegan was probably off doing sambuca shots when that lesson was taught. So, starting with public humiliation (that infamous blow-up with her Ex and his new woman … huge mistake), and taking in temporary insanity, rebound sex, and a night in a police cell along the way, Izzy has to make up her own rules for coping with heartbreak... Luckily she has friends who are there for her through thick and thin (even if ‘doing an Izzy’ is their new shorthand for completely losing it). And she’s got her foot in the door of the film business (though dogsbody wasn’t exactly the job she dreamt of doing). Now, all she has to do is put the dirty cheating love-rat behind her. You’d think twenty-seven years would be enough time to wise up to the rules of love and loss. Make that twenty-seven and a bit …>>
The book is amazing and Amy writes with all the girly-girl charm of Plumm Sykes, Jennifer Weiner and Sophie Kinsella! She also has a delicious literary sophistication that makes this novel more than just fun and entertaining but very readable. The Independent went so far as to say she writes "like Jane Austen on ecstasy"Reading about Izzy's public humiliations and romantical ups and downs is heartwarming and strengthening, Izzy is going through what all have of us have been through - times TEN!
Amy has said "Not everybody is going to like it," she adds, philosophically. "Not everybody is going to like me. Not everybody is going to like everything I do." We find this all VERY hard to agree with but suppose it could be true... "At the end of the day I am so proud of it. I'm not claiming it is Booker Prize material. I hope people like it and that's all I can hope for. All the literary critics may not but if Mary on the 47 bus does ... ."
Amy's humility shines through in her writing as well. Although she may never have become a crazed psycho-stalker like Izzy or a very public freak attack breakdown, you do get the feeling that this beautiful 30 year old, who seems to have the world at her feet, has had her own share of heart break. There are very honest and common emotions flowing through this book. The whole novel creates a connection with the reader, with every girl out in reader world, and it has to be said that in reality it is Amy, as the book's author, that you are connecting to.
Three Cheers For Miss Huberman!! Hello Heartbreak is a chick-lit triumph, and she should be very proud! Go grab a copy now, head down to the beach or in to your comfy chair and enjoy!

SUPER Celagutite Rank 16/6/09- 29/6/09
Sorry for the delay kiddies, SERIOUS I-T issues had as pulling our hair out these past two weeks but we finally bit the bullet and straightened it all out! Well this is a TWO Week version so lets jump right in!
At FIVE this time we have a new, and sure to be reoccurring entry into the countdown, Diana Donnelly with 7380 points, the new Miss Universe Ireland! Though she got a bit of press leading up to the night as a rumored favourite, in the days after the competition her face and name was everywhere! Congrats on your crown Diane and congrats on being catapulted into the Celagutite Stratosphere!
FOUR, with a just a few more notches at 7425 points and the help of her pet snake is the adorably spunky Emma Quinlan! I have undoubtedly seen Miss Q. in her knickers more than I have glimpsed myself, but with a body like that I say go for it!! Seemingly always up for a party or game for a laugh Emma doesn't need a boa constrictor to garner attention but hey, it doesn't hurt!
This time around 7900 point and in the number THREE position is one my fav's! Leigh Arnold is a gracious, talented and glowing lady and deserves every nice thing that is prnited about her! I think it is safe to say that she is quickly becoming Ireland's sweet hear and Cineál Saoil could not be happier!
Number TWO is super sexy glamazon Rosie! 10, 000 points in 2 weeks, WooHoo! Just within the last month Miss D. really has really seemed to take a big leap outside her comfort zone. She no longer seems like a beauty queen, she is showing us herself! Both with amping up the fashion stakes, keeping us all guessing about her and Wes and even having slightly cheekier sound bytes and quotes in the press, we like this new Rosanna!!
At number ONE with 10,700 points it is Amy Huberman! An 'It' girl, an actress, a fashion inspiration, a philanthropist and all around lovely gal, and now an up and coming author!! - we thinks we'll be calling BOD Mr. Huberman is she keeps all this superwoman stuff up! Congrats Ames!!
Rounding out the top 10 were Laura Toogood, Glenda Gilson, Sara Kavanagh, Pippa O'Connor and Hayley Rock!
We'll see you all again promptly on Monday and if you are really dying to know how the results are tabulated email me miss.emeraldapple@gmail.com :o)
Naked as a Jay Bird
Wanna get sexy this summer? Get Naked! i know that sounds like a no brainer but actually....WHOA LADY! Keep you top on! I should have said get NUDE! Steam up this season and get some instant star power by incorporating this season's sexiest style! Seen on celags like Leigh Arnold at last weekend's Miss Universe comp, nude hues for dresses, tops, skirts and even heels is very big right now! Incorporate metallic details, bright jewelry or animal print accessories to really make it pop! Remember - Deeper tones compliment darker complexions and opt for paler nudes if you are more fair-skinned!
In the collage below are just a few items I found from TopShop, Harvey Nich's and Brown Thomas head to the stores to pick them up, or use the links provided to use online retailers! This nude trend can be found now in stores all over so use the pics below as inspiration, go out there and get nude!
