The Butterfly Ball-Saturday 25th September for North West Cancer Research Fund.
I've been asked to pass this one on by the lovely Anne Jackson- Chief Executive Officer of NWCRF. At last years Ball Anne and her team helped raise over £11'000 for the charity.
Tables of 10 can be bought for as little as £550 and are great way for your company to be a part of the charity.
Call 0151 709 2919 or email butterflyball@nwcrf.co.uk to book or just check out their website.
In total the charity hope to raise between £750'000 and £1m each year so another way the help raise this money is from the Butterfly silk collection designed by Irresistible Lingerie. The Collection consists of Ivory white cami tops, Silk Pyjama sets and nightdresses all decorated with the Butterfly silk motif.

P.s. Good luck Anne.

Chantelle Tagoe- Return of the Wag.
With Footballs fever pitch dieing down after the defeat by Germany last Sunday. Chantelle Tagoe, this years hottest Wag, is still dominating the gossip columns..
Here's her biog from her website.
Fashion TV presenter Chantelle Tagoe, 26 is the stunning fiancée of Aston Villa and England striker, Emile Heskey. This Liverpool born natural beauty is steadily carving out a great career in her own right in the world of fashion and TV.
Having already secured a slot as one of the main presenters on Fashion TV - as well as hosting a number of premium charity fashion shows - Chantelle also appears this summer in the BBC series special, ‘Wags, kids and World Cup Dreams’. Leaving behind her fiancé and two children, Chantelle travelled to this year’s World Cup host country to gain an understanding of the reality of daily life in some of the struggling South African communities.
Upon her return, Chantelle organised and hosted a charity event with Harvey Nichols raising nearly £40,000 for the South African Charity while building awareness of the charity and its work.
Chantelle is soon to appear in Channel 4’s much loved ‘Celebrity Come Dine With Me’ which will air in June 2010. It will be interesting to see if the notoriously unflappable Chantelle - who was nicknamed by the production team in South Africa ‘the Laid Back Lady’ - will reach fever pitch under the culinary pressure…We think not!

Matthew Moore goes T-total with his label Modern Love.
Product Designer- Matthew Moore, known more for his unique lamps and furniture pieces, has just took what used to be a hobby one step further.
While on a personal P.R. trip 'down South', Liberty of London menswear buyer spotted Matthew wearing one of his own T's. Knowing Matthew as a designer he asked how many more were in the collection. Unfortunately the T was, at the time, a one-off just for himself. Never missing an opportunity, Matthew replied, "There's an eight-piece collection in the pipe line." Before he knew it the collection was ready to go, and is on the rails in Liberty as we speak.
Matthew's label, now called Modern Love, seems inspired by a contradiction of elements; with graphic sharp lines and shapes mixed with earthy imagery. Matthew tells me the collection feels very romantic because of the use of roses, cherry blossom and stars; even the simple graphic shapes discretely reference to love symbolism.
The SS10 collection is also available in Liverpool ONE at Kirsty Doyles Boutique (at the side of Urban Outfitters). We will be shooting the full SS10 collection really soon as well as the AW10 and it will be posted on here as well as the forthcoming Modern Love website. But for now here's a taster lifted from Matthew's Facebook.
