Drink up!

Good news girls - Wine makes you skinny!

Well, almost! New Research shows that women who regularly enjoy a glass of wine can burn calories easier then Tee-totals, apparently the body reacts to the calories in alcohol differently to to the calories food - and uses them as heat rather then fat!

So drink up girls, & pass me the bottle...

Summer time

Oh the sun is shining, and I'm automatically walking round with a smile on my face! I've been tempted to get the flip-flops out of hibernation but feel Preston weather is never too reliable - maybe another week or 2?! But in the mean time I've been snooping about for some summer outfits, here's one i created on Looklet...

Its light, summery & floral. The shorts would be great for me as they flatter the thigh as there slightly flared & floaty, teamed with a simple T (I'd go for a white vest but there wasn't any on the sight!) & a large handbag for all my summer essentials - mainly sunglasses & suncream! The blue shoes tie-in with the blue & pink floral pattern on the shorts which hasn't some out to well! Oh well, I'm sure this outfit will pull me through many a Malibu-drinking summers eve!

She kissed a girl...and she liked it!

Katy Perry, as I mentioned in the previous post is one of the modern day pin-up girls. She curvy, confident and oozes sex appeal - however, her fashion sense is also very kitsch & playful. She has a fantastic individual style, mixing vintage styles with modern day colours and prints, she flaunts her figure really well - no wonder she's managed to tame infamous womanizer Russel Brand, she's more then enough woman for one man!

Extremely feminine, Pastels tones with a cinched in waist to exaggerate her hips.

Really creative outfit, Mixed details added to silk high waisted hot pants - high waist the above the hips making them appear wider, but this is evened by her pushed up chest. Red lips, add to the sex appeal.

Kitsch, Sailor inspired dress, fitted to flaunt her curves

Pretty & feminine, again the use of pastel tones. The waved hair & hair accessory has a 1950's feel.

This seems boudoir inspired, very on-trend at the moment.

Glamour 2010 styleeee...

As I looked at the Pin-up girls of the 1950's I started thinking of the modern day 'pin ups'. Although alot of celebrity's are all skin & bone there all still some girls flying the flag for curvy girls, here's my favourite few...


Kelly Brook - Ultimate Lad's mag star of the last decade, She has curves in all the right places.

Dita Von Teese - One of the most famous Burlesque stars ever, she has made the Wonderbra, corset & stockings almost a compulsory wear for curvy women. Her Red lips and neatly waved hair heavily reference the 1950s pin up girls.













Kimberely Walsh - As 1/5 of Girls Aloud she's not the obvious modern day pin up but I think she has the most incredible figure. She's curvy but really confident with it & I think she looks great, she dresses for her shape & flaunts her curves. I really admire her confidence!

And, Finally Katy Perry - but she'l be in my next post! X

Style on Sunday...

Sunday morning, The Sun was in the sky, I'd been to the gym & was feeling pretty pleased with myself. Then I purchased the Sunday times - now I was definitely pleased with myself, skipping down the road feeling very intellectual!

This Sunday 'the Sunday times' had advertise there Style section so I thought check it out, Now to be honest I don't understand alot on the Sunday times. The only foreign affairs I care about are between myself, a cocktail & a sunny beach! However, there style section was fantastic - there was a really interesting interview with Jean-Paul Gaultier.
I also enjoyed just flicking through the adverts, the A3 magazine allowed me too really study the images & appreciate the clothing more.

I plan on making this a regular purchase - I think its an easier habit to keep up then the Sunday morning gym routine! :)

The illustrations are beautiful, and would be an interesting aspect to focus on.
