Stunning supermodel Heidi Klum is known for her excellent taste and good fashion sense, so, everyone was a bit surprised when she decided to have a white trash themed wedding when she renewed her vows with her singer husband, Seal. Heidi opted to wear an extremely trashy white gown which wouldn’t win any style prizes anytime soon. She also had her hair in very tacky corn rows for the event.

Heidi and Seal are well known for their love of fancy dress and this occasion was just another chance for them to indulge in their love and have some fun with it. Heidi’s trailer trash white gown was covered in sequins and she even sported a glittery veil in her very trashy corn row hairdo. Not to be outdone by his wife, Seal sported a very eighties mullet hairdo which is usually only sported by bad heavy metal bands and American southerners.

The ceremony was conducted, in true trailer trash style, by an Elvis impersonator who seemed to enjoy the event very much. Heidi went so far as to chain smoke fake cigarettes throughout the ceremony. Infuriatingly, Heidi still managed to look completely gorgeous proving clothing and taste are not the be all and end all of beauty.

Designer Nicole Miller is usually known for her bold designs and outrageous graphic prints along with her experimental designs and use of unusual fabrics, however, when she exhibited her new bridal collection at a recent event, her designs were more toned down and classical.

Nicole showed her bridal range at a New York show on April 6th this year. Guests at the shows were wowed with the beautiful gowns she had on offer. The designs featured heavily ruffled and pleated designs along with fabulous origami style pleats and tucks. Keeping with tradition, white was a prominent colour. Some of her designs featured trendy intricate beading reminiscent of 1930s Hollywood and old school glamour.

True to form Nicole Miller couldn’t see a show go by without some more wacky pieces and she had several piece on show made from crazy metal fabrics and a rippled tidal pleat outfit which resembled a huge tidal wave. She also drew some inspiration from the 1950s with cute retro halters and stunningly romantic silk dresses, as well as, A-line skirts and flamenco style trumpet dresses.

Oscar winning actress Kate Winslet is one of the most down to earth actresses to come out of Hollywood in recent years. She is known for trying to play up her working class roots almost as much as she is known for her on screen performances. Her latest photo shoot saw her take to a rooftop construction, which despite its location, was anything but working class. She looked more like a society girl from the 1930s than a construction worker.

Kate donned a slinky little black number and sexy black high heels for the sizzling photo shoot. She posed for several shots which are destined to appear in popular fashion magazine Harper’s Bazaar. The photo shoot clearly gave a nod to the famous ‘lunchtime atop a skyscraper’ photo which showed dirty construction workers in the thirties eating lunch at the top of a huge skyscraper. Evidently this shoot was much more sexy and seductive. Kate seemed to enjoy the shoot and in an interview she even complained that people saw her as middle class because of her accent. She had a lot of fun shooting the pictures in New York where she now lives with her director husband Sam Mendes.

I’m a big fan of shopping online. I haven’t always been, but I have done most of my Christmas shopping online this year. It’s amazing when you realise just how many discounts you can get on the Internet.

I love all the promotional codes and voucher codes as they are often known. I got a discount on a blender on Amazon, and on a hotel booking. There are several leading websites that I would recommend for good voucher codes and promotional codes.

You can literally save a fortune and the sites seem to have offers on anything. You can save on booking concerts – anything. Just make sure you read all the offers available to you, or you could end up missing out. And some of the offers are only available for a limited time so be quick or you’ll miss out.

You can search generically on Google for promotional codes, or specifically for things like hotel voucher codes, or amazon discount vouchers and you are sure to find a range of the best sites on offer.

So if you’re on a budget and shopping online appeals to you then get on a site that can help you save money. Or get a promotional code for a restaurant in your local town or city, and do your Xmas shopping the traditional way, knowing that you’re sitting down to a bargain meal courtesy of your favourite promotional code website.

Happy Xmas!!!

The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York has just opened a new exhibition entitled ‘Models as Muse’. The exhibition celebrates some of the most beautiful models in the world and their contribution and inspiration to the world of art. It also serves as a reminder of some of the ways in which beauty has changed and evolved over the years and how ‘plainer women’ are just as beautiful as any supermodel.

The exhibit opened this week at the museum’s costume institute and it features high end fashion from post World War II haute couture to grunge and minimalism in the 1990s and everything in-between. The exhibition is made up of photos, magazine covers and advertisements, clothes music and film clips. The exhibits show every aspect of the fashion world in all the different time periods covered and provide an extensive catalogue of popular fashions in that time frame.

The show aims to show the power of fashion and models and the influence they have had on the way we consider beauty. Many stars have already attended the exhibit and have showed of some great fashion items of their own, maybe they too will one day have a piece in a museum somewhere.

Lily Allen has always been a trend setter, ever since she started to appear on the celebrity scene. Her fashion sense has always been very individual and even a little quirky and this has made her one of the most watched celebrities in the UK. She has designed clothing for a major high street chain already and she is set to do even more designing in the future. She has recently signed to a modelling agency and there has been a lot of interest in using her for various modelling jobs. She has also designed a range of jewellery which will be released and will, in all probability, be a big success.

Lily has been working on several modelling projects and is rumoured to be heading up a campaign for Chanel and so, it is likely that we will see much more of her in this role. She is, however, very shy when it comes to posing for photos and she suddenly becomes a different girl from the one we know; instead of being loud and opinionated, she becomes shy. She is not the typical model, being only 5ft 2 and a size 12, but, this is definitely a positive step by the industry and will be a very good example for young girls who aspire to be models.

I went shopping this weekend and it was really stressful! It was bucketing down with rain, massively busy in Manchester city centre and generally annoying being bashed in the head with umbrellas and barged out of the way by fierce shoppers! Because of this I decided to give it up as a lost cause and head for the warmth of a mall. So I went to the Trafford centre and as luck would have it after 15 minutes of driving around the same part of the car park, ended up having a standoff with a large man over a parking space and then having to wait for an hour for some food. As you can imagine it was not the most relaxing day of my life. I ended up spending about a tenner in petrol, wasting half my day driving and being stuck in traffic and was in a furious mood. To top it off I only managed to buy two gifts! This is unacceptable and after my long day I arrived home to see my flatmate sat with her feet up (fluffy slippers on), with a mug of hot chocolate and the laptop on her knee. She had got up late, had a leisurely day and done all her Christmas shopping online. The moral of the story girls and boys is to forget that shopping burns carbs. Get shopping on the internet and then squeeze in a session at the gym. Job done!

Personalised gifts are always really special to receive because it’s not just that you have received a gift that should be your favourite colour/size/taste, but it’s the fact that thought, time and effort has gone into a gift that you have been given. Why not give handmade gifts to your friends and family this year. Make cookies for your friends at work, knit a scarf for your Gran, give your Dad a tie that you have personalised with a transfer of his favourite football team and make your best mate a bag out of a pair of jeans that don’t fit you anymore! Personalised t-shirts are always an excellent idea. Buy some t-shirts from Primark for a couple of pounds, get some beads and sequins from your local haberdashery shop and take an hour or so creating a unique version of the glitzy Tees that are all over the shops now. In that case you can ensure that you’ve given a gift that you know no-one else will have. If you need inspiration look online at one you think the recipient will like and copy the design as best you can! There are ways and means to give excellent presents on a budget, you’ve just got to have the know-how. And now you have!

A great way to get some individual and unique Christmas presents for your friends and family is to purchase them something from a Christmas market. No-one would expect to find such a vast range of hand-made crafts, clothes, accessories, food and drink at a Christmas market that would be more than suitable for gifts. Every year I go to the Manchester Christmas market and the Lincoln Christmas market and I must buy at least half of my Christmas presents from them. My mother likes jewellery and therefore I always find her an unusual pendant or pair of earrings and my Gran likes cooking and so last year I bought her some decorative ramekins and a garlic grinding plate. These things are not necessarily something you would buy yourself, however that’s always the best kind of present. That is, unless it’s hideous and it’s bought for you by someone who doesn’t know you! There’s a fine line people! As long as you know the person you’re buying for and you put thought into your gift there’s no reason why your special presents from the Christmas Market shouldn’t earn you the adoration of the recipient. There are usually local artists present at the Lincoln Christmas market and it’s a fantastic opportunity to bag yourself or your loved one some original art at a rock bottom price.

So you’re wondering what to buy people for Christmas. We have less than a month and I for one am panicking. If your budget is tight but you’d like to buy the special people in your life something a little bit more luxurious than you can afford why not get down to TK Maxx and hunt out a bargain. As long as people recognise the name or make of the designer gear you buy them they will believe you’ve spent a bomb when really you’ve made friends with Mr Maxx and got a bargain! Try it for those people you’ve not really got a clue what to buy for such as your Gran or your Aunty who lives down south who you hardly see! A nice pair of leather gloves or a designer handbag or scarf would go down a treat and you’ll be regarded as ‘the one who gives the good presents’ which to be honest, it’s always good to be! And just think, if you look a little bit harder and find something that everyone will love you’ll feel all warm inside when they rip open their gift and genuinely love it, rather than the fake smile and an oooooh that you usually get when you give them bubble bath.
