Insider secret...

Models and make-up artists hold many a secret to looking amazing, and the latest I discovered whilst on a Summer photo-shoot, was this beauty - Garnier Ultimate Beauty Oil, a bargain of £5.33 (was £7.99) at Boots.
It smooths, hydrates and adds just enough oil without looking greasy. With a spray that works well, it's a must-buy!

I-Spy Something Beginning with W

This may not be the brand or product to revolutionise the world, but Wolford has made the legs of the world much sleeker and chicer. No longer a one-stop-shop for (the world's best) tights, the brand has been trading since 1949 and ranges now include bodysuits, lingerie, shapewear, swimwear and ready-to-wear.
Like most women, I love my opaques for winter-time, and only Wolford Velvet Deluxe 66 can stand the test of time and machine washing...

Their experience of smoothing shape-wear has been included in their swimwear, with stylish results

Much love for Mango

Yes, I know Kate Moss is one of the worlds' most famous and in demand models, but in the latest ad campaign for Mango she adds a sexy and very cool edge to the brand. It has a nod to the uber-cool French Isabel Marant designs, which is never a bad thing!

The knitwear and sexy tweed mix jackets are on my festive wish-list....
The tux is sexy this Christmas....
Kate Moss isn't the only supermodel working for the Spanish brand - Karlie Kloss, catwalk and campaign favourite for many top designers, also makes an appearance as the girl who every woman wants to be, or be friends with...

*** NEWS Miranda Kerr has been announced as the new face of Mango Spring Summer 2013....very exciting!

Mango is definitely having its moment right now with designs and styles that are modern yet not fashion-victim. Get online now....free shipping for purchases over £30!

Want Rosie's undies?

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley is one if the most famous and beautiful supermodels and actresses at the moment - she was the face of Burberry and starred in Transformers - and now she has designed her own range of lingerie for high street favourite  Marks and Spencer.


Featuring a selection of pretty lace and silky pieces and vintage-inspired cover-ups, this is the first collection for the model-turn-actress. Working with Marks and Spencer means that the price points are great - ranging from £12.50 for bottoms, up to £65 for a kimono.




The collection is available to buy in-store and online from August 30th.

I-Spy Something Beginning with V

A designer treat starting with V is a tough decision - my first option would be the cool and sexy designs from Valentino ...
Leather studded tote, £1,160 Valentino at www.net-a-porter.com
or a cool weekend knit from California must-have label  Vince  ...
Cashmere mix sweater, £255 Vince at www.net-a-porter..com
BUT without a doubt, my favourite designer has to be  Victoria Beckham . Her career move into fashion designer raised a few eyebrows, and negative comments. But I am so pleased she has silenced her critics, her  denim label flew off the shelves and now encapsulates strong colours, slim shapes and leather. Her catwalk line is a sell-out around the world and tickets to her show are the hottest each season in New York and she is the best advertiser for her chic bags.
Leather bag, £1,650 Victoria Beckham at www.net-a-porter.com
But her newer addition to the house Victoria, is already a celeb favourite. Everyone from Michelle Williams, Jennifer Lawrence and Katy Perry have been spotted in her cute and fun printed frocks which are less pricey than her main-line.

Wow, love them all - what a role model!
