Which celebs wore it better!?

Celebrities are always spotted wearing the same or similar outfit and people are constantly talking about who wore what better! So now its your turn to leave a comment or just think about it yourself about which celebs below you believe wore the item better!

Kylie Jenner and Nikki Read were both spotted maxing it out with a sheer black maxi dress on the carpet. Both paired it with a pair of black peep toes heels and wavy hair, however, Nikki also wore a orange clutch bag to add as an accessory. But does the difference of poses set them apart from one another as to who showcases the dress the best?

 Kourtney Kardashian and Melissa Rauch both wore this little black dress by Ted Baker on the runway. But Kourt' was seen to have black neutral accessories, whilst Melissa paired her outfit with a bright and bold blue clutch. 

So the question is... who wore it better!?

Miranda Kerr's beauty secrets

The wife to a Hollywood actor, the mother to a beautiful little boy, a Victoria Secret Angel, amazing looks, and a global fashion icon...could you ask for any more!? She is by far one of my favourite angels, and she is revealing to the world how she got into shape after giving birth to her son Flynn, her workout regime before the VS show, her must have beauty products and her overall tips!

The fashion world knows that this supermodel loves her yoga and did in fact start to pursue it from an early age of 16. She has always enjoyed working out and i think that probably helps towards her amazing figure. But just a 'workout' isn't enough for preparation to take to the Victoria Secret runway as Kerr says: "As I am shooting for Victoria’s Secret year round, I have to maintain my figure. But I guess it all get a little more intense before the fashion show. For instance, I’ll put in some extra squats."

I think people believe that the life of a model is all glitz and glamorous, but that really isn't the case. You are constantly running around a city that they may have never been to before, going from castings to casting. Because of all of this running around, it is essential that you feel good about yourself and have full energy so you can be on the ball every second of the day. Therefore, Miranda follows an organic diet and tries to eat healthy the majority of the time. However, "it's important not to be too strict about it. Just do the best you can." I try to follow the 80% healthy and 20% what ever you like! This should put you on the path to showcasing a body that rivals Victoria Secret models!

I bet your all wondering how she got her bod' back in shape in record time after giving birth? Aren't we all! Well there really is no spectacular secret other than whilst she was pregnant with her son, she continued to eat organically and practised yoga poses to help pregnant women stay in shape. Kerr also revealed: "I also ramped up my pilate's routine, and I try to make sure I go hiking three or four times a week. It definitely takes a lot of work to stay in shape!"

Miranda recently started her own line of beauty products that she uses in her daily beauty routine. She expressed that her three beauty essentials are: "KORA organics citrus mist ,RMS Living Luminiser, KORA Organics tinted moisturiser." As well as this, she also strictly follows a cleanse, tone and moisturise routine every morning and night to ensure her skin is beautiful.

So there we have it! No secrets, just everyday activities that may take a lot of work and effort, but as I'm sure you can see; it is definitely worth it!

Nail trends!

Big, Bold, Bright and Beautiful is what you need to be taking into consideration when it comes to painting your nails this summer. They accessorise your look just like earrings, necklaces and rings to contribute to your overall look, so here's what you need to know about the nail trends you'll be seeing everywhere this summer.

Glitter glitter glitter! Its everywhere at the minute, in all different shades of colours, so its really up to what you want to do with it. You could make a pattern of colour and wipe some clear glitter over the top to give it a bit of a sparkle or you could choose a full glitter colour across each nail.







Pretty flowers in all shape, sizes and colours are a must! You could even match the glitter trend with the flower pattern by giving a floral base and a clear glitter topping. Two trends in one! This trend is so versatile that you can really make it or own and be as unique and individual as you like, besides... they're your nails!

Checkered nails? Check! Bold colour is a must for this trend to really make sure that they stand out from the rest of your outfit and don't just stand as an accessory when you have put so much effort into taking care of them and making them beautiful. As this picture shows, i love the colours fuchsia pink and dark blue as a pattern together.

 I absolutely adore this pattern: ombre! From a light to dark shade or vice versa or for one colour fading into a completely different shade, the opportunities are endless and you can really let your imagination go wild. I love the shades baby pink fading into a light blue as well as a light green fading into a dark green.

Gisele Bundchen baby bump!

The Brazilian fashion model who was a Victoria Secret Angel from the year 2000 to 2007, is not hiding anything anymore as she bares a string bikini to reveal to the world that she is expecting! The iconic supermodel who has been ranked the most beautiful women in the world, to pioneering the "horse walk" in which models pick their knee's up high and kicks their feet out in front of them, has been spotted sporting a string bikini with a growing bump on the beach with her son.

In 1997 Bündchen travelled to London, where she auditioned for 42 shows and it was during this season where the model got her big break when chosen for her ability to walk in towering heels—on a slippery runway—for Alexandra McQueen's memorable spring 1998 “rain” ready-to-wear show. In 1998, she posed for Missoni, Chloé, Dolce & Gabbana, Valentino, Gianfranco Ferré, Ralph Lauren and Versace campaigns. In addition, she made the cover of the French edition of Vogue, and Cult fashion magazine i-D also added her on its cover, profiling "A Girl Called Gisele."

This is just two years of her extraordinary career and has definitely taken the world by storm, so I'd just like to say Congratulations Gisele and i wish all the best for you and your family!

Fashion at the 2012 Teen's Choice Awards

This years Teen's Choice Awards saw such a variety of gorgeous clothing worn on so many stunning celebs, it definitely was a night where the teen's took over!

Demi Lovato rocked the tribal trend in this Falguni & Shane Peacock dress. The audience saw Demi host the award show and during won the awards for the female summer music star and best twit. After recent release of her heartbreaking struggles, she is sure to be coming back fighting!




The birthday girl, Selena Gomez, who turned the big 2-0 on the day of the show also bagged herself and her group an award for the choice of best music group, which went to the girl herself, Selena Gomez and the Scene. She added a pop of colour to her appearance by wearing a fuchsia pink Dsquared2 dress, perfect for summer.




Taylor Swift looked the part in a sheer white Maria Lucia Hohan dress with cut outs, whilst accessorising with nude heels and some pretty pink and diamond silver earrings. She bagged herself the awards for best female artist, best single by a female artist with "Eyes open", best female country artist, and best country song with "Sparks fly". What a night she had!




Kendall Jenner showcased a black lace dress showing of her longer than life legs! Her hair was delicately plaited and pulled over one shoulder. Although Keeping Up with the Kardashians didn't win the award that they were hoping for, the whole family should be proud of themselves for even getting nominated for the best reality show! That in itself is an achievement!



Kylie Jenner also looked fabulous in a burgundy cut out dress. I envy her long thick curly hair! It really does prove that both her and her sister are definitely Kardashian Fashionista's in the making! And i believe we will be seeing a lot more of them in the near future.






Victoria Justice showcased a colourful Gomez-Gracia dress. She may not have been victorious enough to win an award, however i am positive her time will come with all the talent she has, but in the mean time, she sure was victorious in the fashion closet as she glistened in front of the paparazzi, and was sure to catch every camera lens' attention.

It wasn't just the females that caught every ones attention, as when Justin Bieber arrived in a Dolce & Gabbana shirt, Marc by Marc Jacobs pants, and Supra shoes, all eyes were on him. He also cleaned up the night with awards for the best male artist, best single by a male artist with "Boyfriend", best male summer music star, and best male fashion icon. Wow!

Jordin Sparks was glowing on the pink carpet as she sported a Chagoury Couture dress with flowering detail at the halterneck. She is real life proof that if you work hard, play hard, then you get the results, and she sure has an amazing figure to be proud of. You go girl!

Carly Rae Jepson wore Lisa Ho in a tribal print pattern. She took away with her an award for best music breakout artist. That's no surprise seeing as her single "Call me maybe" dominated the charts around the world for weeks on end!

Lea Michelle sparkled in a silver glittered dress just as much as she did when she won her award for best TV comedy actress in Glee. Her hair looked equally amazing as is gently lay in beachy waves.
