Kate Middleton's Make Up Lessons!

It is reported that prior to her big day, future queen Kate Middleton took make-up lessons from an artist, so that she could do her own make-up on the day!

Arabella Preston, the lady chosen for the job, is a mum-of-two London based make up artist. It is reported that Kate had three or four lessons, to help her pull off the most important look of her life!

Was this a risky move for the new Princess?

Kate Middleton's Wedding Hair

On her wedding day, future queen Kate Middleton opted for a half-up half-down look featuring loose curls.

reported that her only request of stylist Riachard Ward on the big day was that 'William must recognise me by the time I get to the altar'; it's clear she wanted to stick to a natural look.

I think her hair was a great success - it framed her face beautifully and I think the way she had it pulled back from her face made a nice change from her usual side parting!

What did you think?

I'm Walking on Sunshine!

I finally got me some wedges! I thought I’d show them to you, as after my Jumpsuit OOTN some of you asked to see the wedges.

So I got these on Wednesday from Primark for just £18! (That’s about $29.50) I had been searching all day, and not really seeing anything I liked – plus, all other pairs were at least £30!

I thought I’d check Primark just in case, and there, as if singing my name from the shelf, were these babies! They also had them in a very dark brown leather and wedge, but I thought I’d go for tan. Really pleased with them – hope this has inspired you!

P.S. Don’t be put off by the height; they are sooo comfortable to walk in!

OOTN: Jumpsuits Dressed Up!

This is the smart casual outfit I wore the other day for a night in with the girls.

I think jumpsuits look their best paired with heeled wedges/clogs

- I got mine from Primark on Wednesday for just £18 ($29.50)!!!

This is a strapless black jumpsuit from New Look I bought a while back for about £25                   - the body is tight but the legs flare out at the waist like hareem pants.

I just threw this leather jacket on from Primark, and accessorised with beads from New Look,

a snake bangle from Primark and my usual gold Swatch watch.

Must Have Trend: Mid-Calf Dress

S/S 2011's hottest trend; the mid length dress! From Prada to Dior, each designer has their own take. However, they are now available on the High Street,

and I'm here to show you where I got mine!

So I picked this up on Monday in Primark - I can't tell you how chuffed I was! It was just £11 ($18) - and feels really good quality. It's a jersey material, featuring blue and white stripes (nautical is bang-on-trend!) and each comes with a plaited faux-leather belt.

I'm usually a UK 16, but what with the bagginess above the elasticated waist and all,

a 14 fits me fine.This will be perfect on holiday, paired with gold or brown sandals or wedges!

Just goes to show, high-street can definately match high end!
Where did you get your mid-calf dress?

Review: Simple Eye MakeUp Corrector Pen

At first glance, it's the product we've all been waiting for, right? A precise little tool to niftily correct any mistakes with mascara, eyeliner, even eye shadow!

However, when it's put into practise; not so good.

I think this would be a brilliant little product if only you could clean it properly! Simple recommend you use their facial wipes to cleanse and rub off the black marks (of course, you can use any wipes), but it never seems to do the job and I'm left with a big grubby felt tip that now doesn't work as well.

PS. The felt tip nib is double ended, so you can flip it round when one end is unusable.

Advantages: brilliant idea

Disadvantages: hard to clean, dries out/ nib gets fluffy

I would not recommend this to a friend.

Style Snippet: Hilary Rhoda

I have red-carpet envy! Model Hilary Rhoda, who in the past has starred in many high end campaigns, including Estee Lauder, always looks stunning on the red carpet!
In picture #1 she is wearing Naeem Khan, #2 she is wearing Jacques Fath, #3 she's in Emilio Pucci, and in picture 6 she is wearing Calvin Klein.
I'm not sure of picture 4 & 5, but I'd say those dresses were my favourite!
Which of Hilary Rhoda's looks do you like most?

Lusian Lopilato's Wedding Dress

For her religious ceremony to new husband Michael Bublé, Argentinean model Lusiana Lopilato donned a more traditional dress than the short lilac one that she wore to the civil service. 

The gorgeous white gown featured a tight satin bodice that flowed into beautiful lace tiers. To me, the dress looks like it has a lot of Latino influences – not surprising, seeing as Lopilato was born in Argentina’s capital, Buenos Aires.

Stunning Lusiana wore her hair up, contrasting the more casual feel of the civil ceremony. After the ceremony, she and Michael played around with the fans outside, posing for photographs.

I think she looked beautiful!

Michael Bublé: Wedding Number Two!

Swing singer Michael Bublé married his fiancée on Saturday – for the second time!

He, aged 36, and Argentinean model Lusiana Lopilato, 23, held their first civil service ceremony in Buenos Aires, Argentina on Thursday, and followed with a lavish religious ceremony in Lopilato’s home country’s capital just 48 hours later.

Contrasting with their previous ceremony, the bride wore a more traditional tiered white dress, which had a Latin feel.

This was the 2^nd of three ceremonies; the last will be held in Vancouver, Canada – Michael’s hometown.

Hit or Miss? Mrs Bublé's Wedding Dress

Argentian model Lusiana Lopilato picked an unusual choice for her wedding to Michael Bublé; this short pleated lilac number!

The dress, which finished just above her knee, featured a crystal encrusted shear neckline that plunged down into a sexy V. She paired it with shiny silver peep-toe platform heels and held a pink orchid bouquet that harmonised beautifully with the lilac on her dress, and wore her hair down.

 Although and unusual choice for a wedding, this was a civil partnership ceremony in Argentina, so was more than likely chosen for practical purposes - as well as for looking stunning!

Never the less, she looks stunning! The whole combination really works.

This was the first of 3 wedding ceremonies for Lusiana Lopilato and new superstar hubby Michael Bublé; can't wait to see what she wears for the other two!!

FLOWE(RED); "The Most Thoughtful Flowers You Will Ever Buy"

Stuck for ideas for mother's day?

An estimated 22.5 million people are living with HIV in Sub-Saharan Africa.

When you buy these flowers by FLOWE(RED) (a scheme set up by the RED™ charity that has teamed up with many iconic brands such as Nike, Starbucks and Emporio Armani) all profits of sales go to the Global Fund to help eliminate AIDS in the continent.

Not only this, but many of the flowers are ethically soruced from Africa - giving the people that this charity helps a way of making a living too.

This is a brilliant idea for helping those living with AIDS in less developed countries such as Africa - I think schemes like this could make a difference around the whole world.
What do you think?

Adele matches Madonna's record!

Adele has been breaking records this week with her latest album "21". It has spent nine weeks at the top of the album charts; the longest ever for a female solo artist, on a par with Madonna's "The Immaculate Collection" (1990).

Adele's first album, "19" is also at number 2 in the charts and her single "Someone Like You" is still Number 1, and she also has two other singles in the Top 40!

It's smiles all round for the British singer/songwriter!

Michael Bublé Married!

It pains me to say, ladies, that heartthrob Michael Bublé, 36, has officially tied the knot with 23-year-old Argentinean model Lusiana Lopilato!

The couple married in a civil ceremony on the 31^st March 2011 in the capital of Argentina, Buenos Aires. Lusiana wore a short lilac dress and held a beautiful pink orchid posy.

However, this is just the first of three weddings for the couple – there is another ceremony to be held in Argentina, and the pair will also celebrate in Vancouver, Canada – Michael’s hometown.

Apparently, Lusiana has told Michael he's not allowed to sing at their many weddings; I'm sure he'll find a way round this?! :) x
