London, 16 September 2008 - we couldn’t resist the temptation of 
posting this stunning image on our blog. It’s one of a selection by Vogue’s creative director Robin Derrick’s for his Cut Flowers exhibition at the Train Depot in Battersea. Needless to say all of fashion’s great and good turned out - and of course sip put in an appearance - as it does at all the most stylish events!
London, 24 September 2008 - we jumped at the opportunity to sponsor the Awesome Autumn Burlesque Fashion Show to raise funds for www.Thyroid-Disease.org.uk, a voluntary organisation set up to help people find out more about the disease. The runway show - all serious heels, makeup and frocks with some wicked moves thrown in - is being held in the super-stylish Victoria Quarter in Leeds on Sunday, 5 October from 7pm to midnight, and in celebrating the female form, the burlesque dancers hope to raise awareness about thyroid disease and help empower and boost the body confidence of sufferers. There are still some tickets left, so if you live in Leeds and fancy witnessing this fashionable dance-off, visit www.burlesquefashionshow.co.uk and click on the Ticket Master link to snap some up. If you can’t make the event itself check back here in a couple of weeks for some pictures of the extravaganza to feast your eyes on ..
London, 22 September - on top of the delightful but bonkers weather (which makes you wonder whether the ’seasonal’ collection has had its day) we now get to muse over what we might be wearing come spring/summer 09 now that LFW is over. And pretty soon we will get a glimpse of the new season’s makeup too - trust us, by the time spring comes around the novelty factor will have worn off dark berry lipcolours and you will be longing for soft pink again. sip had a ringside seat at LFW as usual, providing refreshment at shows by Todd Lynn, Emilio de la Morena, Peter Jensen, Unique and Chris Kane. So we snuck in backstage and got some backstage titbits which we will be sharing with you over the coming weeks.
Here are a couple to keep you going: MAC - who did makeup for lots of the shows - provide a look book for their makeup artists to follow while they work to keep the maquillage consistent ..
.. and Bobbi Brown created some INCREDIBLE eye looks for designers Tory Burch, J Mendel and Brian Reyes in New York - which she will explain how to recreate on our October sipZine newsletter!

London, 8 September 2008 - as London Fashion Week prepared to get underway, DailyCandy.com, our favouritist style site, launched a new book at uber-trendy boutique Austique. Called Fictionary, the book is a bible of lexicons - words that Daily Candy use on their site - and that should exist - but don’t. Fictionary explains what ‘cRapuccino’, ‘restauramp’ and ‘mediAcracy’ - and all the other little media buzzwords that Daily Candy are so good at concocting - mean. It’s a fun book. You can get it off Amazon. Here are three of our favourite Daily Candy Fictionary lexicons:
textual harassment
n. a proposition via text message; received, generally speaking, quite late in the evening. Similar to a textual advance, only far more annoying.
bonk statement
n. the reply you must give to the question that every prospective lover will casually pose after you first have sex. (So, how many people have you slept with before me)?
foxymoron
n. One who is incredibly dumb but incredibly cute, who simultaneously attracts and repels. (“I’m so ashamed. I hooked up with that foxymoron last night.”)
Check the calendar for the events. Come and try sip, we want to meet you!
