COMICS ARE BACK

I

Geek chic is back this season,  which means we should be hiding away under our duvets and reading  comic books through large black rimmed glasses!
Personally I'm not a comic person but  I'm defo loving these illustrations featured on 'But your like really pretty.com on Flikr.
Its a comic strip updated every Wednesday relating to celebrity culture and I love it! Take a look, they are really funny!

WE SALUTE YOU MISS ATHERTON

I want to congratulate Gemma Atherton for embracing her womanly figure and looking a shapely size 12 on the set of her new film, Tamara Drewe!
 I know people are afraid to comment on weight but my opinion is that everyone looks alot better when they've shed a few pounds!
 I usually think it makes you look younger and fresher, but knowing when to stop is important because unnaturally skinny skeletal figures are disgusting and hard to maintain and usually result in side affects such as, loss of hair, bad breath, sensitivity to the cold, yellow teeth and spots.
So don't starve yourself to be a bald, smelly, freezing cold, spotty skeleton-what is attractive about that? Eat healthily, move more and don't be scared of the odd fat burger or cream cake . The key is to eat in moderation and to feel healthy and remember, YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT!
I'm always a Chicken Balti with a garlic nan on a Sunday night and I'm not going to apologise for it!

BLUE BLOODED STYLE!

Its all about being British this Autumn!Tweed suits, quilted hunter jackets, plaid skirts, trilby hats and moccasins are really on trend  this season and I'm loving the classic understated look!
Inject abit of 'Patriotism in your home too, by picking up some royal memorabilia from Sunday markets or carboot sales  and purchase some union jack cushions which are perfect for a cosy British look! Don't spend a fortune on over priced cushions for an Autumn fad, you can get similar styles from Primark for half of the price, and they are in the shops now!
Invest in a big teapot this month, ready for the winter,drink tea out of your coronation mug and wear your moccasins,while watching 'Brief Encounter' and  you've achieved the Brit chic look for this season...... enjoy!!

CHEESY FACES FOR HOLLYWOOD STARS

Weve all heard about the bird dropping facials that Victoria Beckham was having to maintain her youthful looks, but now there is a new buzz about cheese facials in the celebrity world!
Apparently the best cheese to use is white Cheshire Cheese, mixed with double cream, made into paste and smeared  over the face, then washed off  with warm water!
Cheese is milk based and amazing for the skin, just think about Cleopatra in her bath of milk! If it was good enough for the Queen of Egypt its good enough for us !



Ive tried it!
If you don't mind looking like you have leprosy for 15 mins the mask makes your skin feel really soft, its a little hard to keep the cheese on your face though, it kept dropping into the bath and was abit of a mess, I wonder if Angelina Jolie had that problem?

DIRTY CHIC NAIL VARNISHES

Pretty coloured nails are boring and long french nail extensions  are WAGTASTIC and not fashionable anymore.

Stylish nails are kept short and painted with an unusual colour. Personally, I don't think that there are enough weird and wacky colours to buy, so I've come up with some quirky new names for my 'Dirty Chic ' range of Nail Varnishes
