How to Survive Valentine’s Day
Whether you’re single or taken, here’s woman-to-woman advice for getting through the most-hyped holiday of the year.
“Since he can’t read your mind, let your partner know exactly what gift would make your heart sing. Just send him a website link. You both win: You’ll be thrilled and he gets the applause.” —Alanis Morissette
“Cook for him. Preparing a special meal is like foreplay, and feeding someone is an act of love. Even better, cook together.” —Gail Simmons, judge on Top Chef: Just Desserts and author of Talking With My Mouth Full
“If you’re single, watch a movie like Dirty Dancing or Sleepless in Seattle and drink plenty of red wine. If you’re in a relationship, don’t expect the most romantic night of your life. When he does something really sweet, you’ll appreciate it more.” —Amy Lee, lead singer of Evanescence
“Buy your own chocolate! But not from the drugstore — go someplace decadent like Godiva and spend $30 on a box of the good stuff. It’s so luxe to treat yourself.” —Jennifer Weiner, author of Good in Bed and In Her Shoes
“Drink a really good bottle of pink champagne. As a single woman, it will help make all those hand-holding couples appear almost as cute as they think they are. If you’re hitched, it will help you forget that your husband canceled your dinner plans to work late.” —Lauren Weisberger, author of The Devil Wears Prada and Last Night at Chateau Marmont
“Make someone’s day by sending an anonymous Valentine. Mail it to a friend, cousin, or neighbor — anyone who could use a little love, which is most everyone!” —Melissa Bank, author of The Girls’ Guide to Hunting and Fishing
The Elle Beauty Breakthrough Competition
19 year old student Shannon Peter from Devon has won a year long paid internship split between PZ Cussons Beauty (owners of St Tropez, Charles Worthington, Sanctuary Spa and Fudge Hair Care), House PR and Elle magazine. The winner of the Elle Beauty Breakthrough competition will start her new role this month.
The first four months of the winner’s new role ill be spent within the communications team of PZ Cussons, before she moves on to House PR to gain experience in the non stop world of a fast-track PR agency. The final four months will be completed on the Elle beauty desk where she will see the beauty industry from the view of a journalist, learning how products are researched, selected and featured within the world’s biggest-selling fashion magazine.
Shannon was chosen from thousands of entries following essay submissions and presentations to the judging panel. The judging panel, made up of Jenny Dickinson, acting editor of Elle, Michelle Feeney, CEO at PZ Cussons Beauty, and Ginny Paton, MD at House PR, agreed that the level of talent in the competition was extremely high but that at all stages.
Speaking about her win, she said: “It means the absolute world to me to have won and I am so glad to be given this once in a lifetime opportunity. I’ve learned so much going through the whole experience and so grateful for all the advice and guidance I’ve received. Winning really has been the icing on top of the cake. I’m so happy to be able to launch my career in such an exciting way and I’m already dreaming about what the future may hold for me.”
Was it inappropriate for Chanel to splash the couture cash?
Oh, the Puritans were out in force this morning as we made our way across the gravel path to the entrance of the Chanel Couture show in the Grand Palais. There were two shows: one at 10am and ours, which was at 12. As we arrived, word was out that Chanel had built the fuselage of a luxury jumbo jet inside the cavernous space (quite appropriate really given that the huge space was originally built as a show space for France’s aeronautical industry). ‘Tsk tsk’, they said. ‘Spending all this money in this economy. It’s disGUSTting!’
Le tout Paree is divided on the issue. When the European and American economy teeters on the brink of meltdown, some think it is downright unseemly for anyone to be splashing the cash around. I happen to take the view that if you have the cash it’s unseemly NOT to splash it around.
Increases of luxury goods sales increases are spiking with many companies reporting ‘outstanding’ figures last year. Chanel is a private company and so doesn’t have to report sales figures, but by all accounts are leading the luxury pack into booming new markets of China, India and Brazil. Why should the rest of the world get a season of sackcloth and ashes just because we are having a tough time? We shouldn’t take the ball away just because we can’t afford to play at the moment.
Many new markets are for the first time experiencing the inexplicable thrill of a new Chanel nail colour (let alone the gilded few who get to buy couture each season) and they relish the razzamatazz. Take it from me, my Twitter feedback suggests that many at home in rainy grey Britain relish the razzamatazz too: no one has been begging for less. All are asking for more. And as for those visiting editors and buyers from the all important new markets: I reckon no one comes half way around the world in search of understatement at the Paris couture.
I admit I know nothing about economics. But surely a company that re-invests their increased profits; boosts domestic and foreign sales; makes dynamic eye catching statements; secures the employment of thousands of people around the world; protects and supports dying crafts; increases European exports; attracts tourism; burnishes the European image abroad, by showing that there are things at which we can’t be bettered, and gives us something to smile about, is doing a good thing.
Calvinists, go back to your cave and sit on your bed of nails. Back in the depressed 1930′s, people found escapism in Busby Berkeley movies. For 21th century depression, I prescribe regular doses of pure gorgeousness at Chanel and the Paris couture. Does the trick for me.
