In the past week alone we've seen Jodie Kidd model new St. Tropez tanning products, Chloë Sevigny attended the Chloe Los Angeles Boutique opening and Alexis Bledel went to a Tribeca Film Festival premiere, all with a bright and flirty poppy pout.

With the weather warming up all over the world this weekend, there was no shortage of sandal-wearing celebrities. I noticed that at the multitude of parties that took place, the toenail polish of choice has been poppy — a bright, flirty cross between pink, orange and red. Three poppy colours that I absolutely adore OPI on Collins Avenue (£9.95) which is a funky reddish-orange, Essie Risky Buininess (£8.50) a neon coral, and Rescue Beauty Lounge Sheer Red (£13.45) because it's not as opaque as the others and it has just a tinge more blue in it.

I'm filled with warm fuzzies whenever I catch the (rare) glimpse of Poppy and Ruby! Sandra Bullock adopted the three-legged Poppy back in 2005 and later added Ruby to her family with Jesse James. Although Ruby is sometimes seen with her very own doggie wheelchair, hopping on her two back legs, or rolling in a Rio Petote, Sandra opts to cuddle her disabled pooch close when they left their NYC apt last Friday.
