While in London, I spent six weeks working for Sugarscape, Hachette Filipacci UK‘s teen website, which is a spin-off of their popular Sugar magazine. I covered celebrity gossip, fashion, film and beauty, writing more than 60 posts for the website, and I also helped write copy for competitions.

California’s Coachella festival went off over the weekend, with performances from Jack Johnson, Death Cab for Cutie, Duffy and a host of other artists. Not far from LA, lots of stars headed out to the desert to check out their favourite bands, including Paris Hilton and Benji Madden, Nicole Richie and Joel Madden, Kelly Osbourne, Sienna Miller, Agyness Deyn and Cameron Diaz.
The trends of the weekend included comfortable summer dresses with flowing fabrics and a hippie flair, and hair cut short, tied back or left messy and wavy. Must-have accessories included big plastic sunnies, wristbands, big slouchy bags and comfortable shoes that could be worn all day.
