What's On: Beauty 100 at Selfridges

Date: Thursdays, 7th-29th May 09

London department store Selfridges has reached a landmark 100 years in service, and in recognition the Big Yellow Festival was launched on the 1st of May, honouring the store's centenary achievement.

The store will be dedicating Thursday nights to Beauty 100 - an evening of free makeovers and pampering delights. The beauty counters will be open for you to enjoy a glass of pink bubbly and be preened by the resident beauty team.

The fun starts at 6pm, kicking off with special 'vogueing' workshops where you'll be able to learn the art of looking fabulous. There will also be scouts from Storm Models sizing up future models in the making and Grazia magazine's beauty hunter will be checking out the latest beauty looks to cover in the next issue.

Special celebrity guests will be in attendance every week and on the 7th of May, soul songstress Beverly Knight will be in-store to share her beauty secrets. And to really get the party started, Kiss 100 DJs will be live on the decks in the beauty hall, playing the latest tunes.

Internationally Stylish: Brooklyn Diner, New York

Yesterday I dined at the Brooklyn Diner on 43rd Street, located near the heart of Times Square. Stepping inside takes you on a journey back to the times of rock n' roll. The plush red leather booths, warm furnishings and 1950s interior transports you back to a time when rockabilly ruled and Elvis was king. The eatery serves authentically American ethnic cuisine; dishes include Italian, Irish, Jewish, Caribbean and African influences all under one roof.

The portions are deliciously filling and the desserts are to die for. I treated myself to the Brooklyn Diner's simple but signature dish of Cheese burger deluxe with French fries and onion rings. I had just enough room to sample an indulgent ice cream sundae, topped with chocolate sauce and cherries. Mmmm mm.
