Take a look at these babies, bet you are wondering what on earth they are.
I was.
Well they are flip flops...sort of. And they are supposed to be our latest weapon against tan lines.
Now ersonally I tend to take my footwear off when I am sunbathing.
If you do fancy a pair though - you can get them at www.lovethoseshoes.com
They are yours for £25 - happy tanning!

They say that you can really see how beautiful a woman is by how she looks without her hair.
I think that point is perfectly illustrated by this snap of singer Skin Breathtaking, I think is the word you are grappling for.

We know that florals are a big story this season but I think this could be taking it too far.

COMPARE and contrast, the recent weddings of Denise Van Outen and Salma Hayek.
Denise, everyone's favourite Essex girl and one-time ladette singleton married her fiance, Joseph star Lee Mead on a beach in the Seychelles with just a few friends and family in attendance.

Meanwhile over in Venice, Salma (who actually married her husband François-Henri Pinault - one of France's richest men - in secret in Paris a few weeks ago) went all out with a marital extravaganza featuring the cream of Hollywood.
With a Balenciaga dress and 150 guests it looked like quite the party but love up Denise looked equally stunning in her simple, strapless white gown and seventies style hair.
Good luck to both lovely ladies.

HOW lovely, not to mention bang-on-trend is this asymmetirc leopard print number. Just the thing your to refresh your summer wardrobe, I bet you are thinking.
Well tough because you have even less chance of getting your hands on this than you do one of those peacock dresses from Matthew Williamson's H&M collection, which vanished from stores in minutes last week and didn't even appear at all here in Liverpool.

IMAGINE if you really could sleep yourself younger. It's the stuff of fairytales but a bedding company claims that it could be possible.
Online beauty boutique feelunique.com, says demand is soaring for their high-tech bedding which claims to help reduce wrinkles.
Stick with us - please....Bed-tox anyone?

CHERYL COLE style stealers make your way down to Warehouse because it is stocked with the sort of numbers that have sent the Geordie songstress to the top of the fashion polls.
Sexy and strapless, frilled or asymmetric, they are all in the store's fabulous Spotlight collection of dresses designed exclusively for extra special occasions.

TAKE a look in any shoe store right now and you will see they are packed with vertiginous heels stretching to thre, four and even five inches high.
They don't make for easy walking I can tell you. But now we are being warned of a much more serious danger posed by sky high shoes than just a trip or embarrassing tumble in the street.

Well here's something I never ever thought I would hear myself saying but how much am I loving Claudia WInkelman on Hell's KItchen?
I have never ever liked the permatanned one before, finding her far too try hard and over-made up but suddenly with her squinting, bad eyesight, girlie giggles and fabulous bob I find myself endeared to her.
She is a breath of fresh air after stuffy bad boy old Angus Deayton.
Give the girl more TV shows...preferably starting with anything that Myleene Klass currently presents.

IS IT just me or is Carla Bruni's obsession with wearing ballet flats starting to get just a tad boring?

Okay we know that her husband is not exactly a giant and the Italioan supermodel is quite the amazon but persisting in permanently donning flatties, is in my opinion only drawing attention to the issue.
Sometimes only a stiletto will do.
Carla should take a leaf out of Mrs Obama's book and up the ante...even if it is just an inch.
