London Last Night

Good golly, that Michelle Keegan is a good looking girl isn’t she? As our new style crush, we couldn’t be more in love with the Coronation Street star. The chocolate brown locks, golden skin and impeccable dress sense – this girl’s got it going on! We are always on the lookout for a new party outfit, and this ensemble she threw on whilst on a night out at Mahiki is hot to trot! We bloomin’well love her shoe boots, which look great with any outfit, and we must have a pair now! If you want something similar, then we recommend these black, suede boots from Jones the Bootmaker. For £95 you get a pair of rather attractive booties, that will last you forever. Click here to get your trotters in a pair.

We love the Keegan at VIP towers, and think her style is gorgeous. We know she’s a bit sad that her engagement to Max is over, but we think she could snare him back with her stunning looks, body and fashion. To pay tribute to our favourite Weatherfield barmaid, we have had a look at her style through the last five years and picked out the best and worst outfits for you to have a look at:

Michelle at British Academy Television Awards – 2010

When you have a golden tan like Michelle’s, it’s easy to make white look good. We love the Grecian feel about this frock and want a similar look ourselves. We found this little gem from Topshop, which is slightly more casual, but can be dressed up and down, plus for £18 you can’t go wrong. Click to buy.

Michelle at Xpose Live – 2009

These crop chinos are so in this season and every shop on the high street does a pair just as good as the other. We found this bargain from Next, and at £20 you will have enough change to get Michelle’s complete outfit. Visit the website to pour your pins into these bottoms.

Michelle at the Coronation Street ‘Out of Africa’ DVD Premiere – 2008

Michelle, we know you would good in a bin bag, but seriously, a body bag? This isn’t haute couture! The long, tent like dress does nothing to showcase her figure and the gaudy gold jewellery look like something Bet Lynch would wear. Remember Mich, ‘MUST DO BETTER NEXT TIME.’

VIP Beauty: Coronation Street Stunner Kym marsh

Friday 27th of April 2012 07:00

Tags:

Kym Marsh looked radiant on BBC Breakfast yesterday morning, (even though she always does), and we are super jealous of her smokey eyes. Despite the rumours of a relationship breakdown with Hollyoaks actor, Jamie Lomas, the Coronation Street lass positively glowed. Kym’s come a long way since the Hearsay days, creating a sunkissed glow, barely pinched cheeks and the ultimate smokey eye.

This single mum never seems to stop and we often wonder how she looks so damn good. After bumping into at an event a couple of days ago, we decided to look back through the beauty journals and see how the hell she does it:

(1) Redken Clear Moisture Shampoo, £8.85

Kym’s famous jet black bob is beautiful but hard work to maintain. Speaking to Fabulous magazine the Corrie star says, “my bobbed black hair is hard work to maintain! I get my roots done every four weeks and have it trimmed every three. Colouring strips my hair of moisture, so I use Redken Clear Moisture Shampoo.” Click here to get some nourishment for your tresses.

(2) Estee Lauder Pure Colour Blush, £24

The singer always has brightly, flushed cheeks which we are super duper envious of – we just look red, not rosy! Kym confessed to Cosmo that she loves using a darker pink blush to give her cheeks a little glow. Click to get a English Rose glow.

(3) Diorshow Mascara, £23

The Weatherfield hottie has such amazing long lashes, we were convinced they were falsies. But never fear, Kym assured us last night that they are indeed real. She told the Mirror that she has to use a really good mascara to achieve this look, and her fave is Dior Show. Visit the website to buy.

(4) MAC Paintpoints in Blackout, £14.5

Kym’s trademark smokey eyes is something soap-land lasses are uber jealous of. Speaking to Fabulous mag, Kym says, “I’m known for my smoky eyes. I love Mac Paint Pot in Blackground. It’s a cream, so dust doesn’t spill on to my face when I’m applying it. Best of all, it lasts for ages.” Next stop for us has got to be MAC!

VIP Charity: Orchid Male Cancer Grabs Attention

Thursday 26th of April 2012 06:02

This week is male cancer awareness week and we think that deserves a bit of attention. And what better way to get our interest than hot naked men from The Dreamboys and a semi naked Lizzie Cundy? We are delighted to show you men with lovely bums in the video below and we hope it causes you to check out yours or your fella’s bits. It’s so important! For more details, visit the Orchid Male Cancer Awareness website

 

PS – The video was shot at the Good Vibes studio. We’ve never witnessed fit men naked there before, but we can testify that it’s full of gorgeous people

VIP Royal Premiere: African Cats

Thursday 26th of April 2012 07:17

Tags: , ,

Those Royals get about don’t they? The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge attended the UK premiere of Disney’s African Cats last night and looked as happy as they did when they first got hitched a year ago.

The documentary by Alastair Fothergill and Keith Scholey is about the lives of two cat families and their cubs. Awww! Do we think this means our favourite Prince and Princess are thinking about some little ones of their own? We do hope so.

The couple braved the torrential rain at the BFI Southbank for this years most heartwarming flick, which will also raise money for charity Tusk Tusk, of which the Duke is a patron. We have to say, after seeing the film last night, we shed a few tears over the movies main big cat, Sita the cheetah, bringing up her cubs under the constraints of being hunted – we hope this film brings to light the animal welfare crisis in Africa.

The Royal couple will be celebrating their one year anniversary on Sunday and we are dying to know what they will be doing to celebrate it. We somehow think a 2-4-1 at Pizza Express is probably not on the cards.

It was Kate who stole the show last night in her Matthew Williamson dress. The grey, three-quarter sleeve number, complete with turquoise jewels and gold beading looked fit for a Princess. William also looked dapper in his dark suit – a very handsome couple. Kate’s skin looked radiant as ever and we know she owes it all to a bee sting. The Duchess is a fan of Deborah Mitchell’s Bee Sting Facial, which at £165 is a cheaper alternative to Botox. This magic facial tricks the skin into thinking it has been stung, which increases blood flow, and boosts collagen production and cell renewal – a great alternative to the face freezing venom most celebs pump into their skin. We had better get ourselves stung to get skin as luscious as Kate’s.

The films director, Guy Ritchie attended with his girlfriend Jacqui Ainsley – who looked smoking hot in a jumpsuit. Although she made a fashion faux pas by flashing a bit of boob, she still looked slim and toned – considering she gave birth in September to Guy’s son, we think she looks FIT! When we caught up with the model at the party last night she told us the stress of motherhood is the main reason behind getting her body back. She confessed she also owes pilates, running and eating healthily to snapping back to her pre-baby weight. Next stop for us is the gym and a fruit and veg stall then!

African Cats is out now.

VIP Venue: Follow the celebs to Hotel Rafayel

Thursday 26th of April 2012 07:07

Tags: ,

As Richard Hammond, Daisy Lowe and Amy Childs attended the Carphone Warehouse Appy Awards at Battersea Power Station last night, other VIPs popped over to super swanky eco-friendly, Hotel Rafayel which is just a stones throw away. The planet conscious venue uses energy efficient tricks such as heat recovery ventilation systems, which saves 70% more heat and many more tricks to help with the carbon footprint. We love a five star hotel which cares about the planet it is inhabiting. Don’t be fooled though, this establishment may want to help the Earth, but it is still just as luxurious as other glam hotels.

Hotel Rafayel has one main restaurant and a brasserie, which serves breakfast, lunch, dinner and afternoon tea. If you want the full, lavish experience then why not stay the night, and sample food at different times of day. We highly recommend the afternoon tea – we’re suckers for a good pot of Earl Grey and a nice big, creamy scone!

Hotel Rafayel is very private. Possibly because it is situated in the middle of nowhere, lots of celebs and VIPs like to stay or just hang out to get a bit of privacy – so for us celeb stalkers, it’s an untapped resource. The best way to know if a star is staying at the hotel is to check Twitter to see who is staying at the luxury venue. Or, you can always have a gander at celeb site, Imetastar.com as the hotel hosts many a celeb event – so what are you waiting for? Click on that website now!

If you fancy staying at a super posh hotel without the pompous attitude, and devouring some of the best cake in the city, then this is what we recommend:

HOW TO GET IN: There are two restaurants serving different food, so depending on which one you were going to, times won’t always be similar. Each one gets very busy though, so it is best to book in advance. You can do this by calling 0207 801 3610 or visit the website.

HOW MUCH TO PAY: It’s not extortionate. For what you pay, (a room starts at £120) it’s not bad. The hotel is luxury, the service is unbeatable and the food is pretty damn good. For dinner you are looking to pay anything from £50 per head to £100 – including drinks.

THE YAYS: (1) The staff are brilliant. By far, the most helpful and gracious staff members in any hotel we have stayed in. (2) The bathroom was so luxurious, we thought we were at the Ritz. The bathtub was deliciously deep and the lighting romantic – perfect for you honeymooners out there. (3) The hotel houses one of the best cupcake shops in the UK, Mychelle’s Baketique – the Blueberry Pancake cupcake is so scrumptious you will want more and more – someone get us the slendatone now.

THE NAYS: (1) Although it is nice and secluded, this can get a bit annoying when you want to get somewhere easily. (2) The decor is fabulous for some, but others who are not so ostentatious may not find it so appealing. Plus the many pieces of art work are little strange. (3) The shuttle service from the hotel (it is in the middle of nowhere after all), can be quite slow, so if you are in a hurry, you could get a little agitated.

INSIDER KNOWLEDGE: The lobster ravioli is Alexa Chung’s favourite dish to eat at the brasserie. Well, if it keeps Alexa nice and thin, it’s good enough for us.

WHAT COULD HAPPEN: You may be a few miles from anything, but the hotel is far from boring – any hotel which has a helipad is good enough for us! Last time we dined at the brasserie we bumped into Charlize Theron – favourite actress crush alert.

VIP Model Fashion: Get Daisy Lowe’s Quirky Look

Thursday 26th of April 2012 06:48

Tags:

How smoking hot does Daisy Lowe look recently? We spotted the model at the Carphone Warehouse Appy Awards at Battersesa Power Station last night and she looked drop dead gorgeous. This year we think her best outfit was the one pictured above at the BA Great Britons Programme launch. The girly, rock chick look is so hot right now, we are getting burns just from the photograph alone. The leather jacket is our fave aspect of the ensemble, as it can be worn from season to season. You could look as cool as Daisy in this leather biker jacket from Lipsy. At£150 it is a little pricey, but for a real leather jacker, we think it’s a bargain. Click here to be a rock chick like Ms Lowe.

We love a model who likes to eat at the LLAVIP office, so Daisy is the perfect example of how you can look good AND have a healthy appetite. This has inspired us to look at her fashion history, with some really beautiful outfits which we adore, but some should never have made it past the runway show. See more below:

Daisy at CFDA Fashion Awards – 2010

Polka dots are so in right now, judging by this pic of Daisy in 2010, it seems they were never out. We have spent the week traipsing around the shops in search of a similar dress and found this little beauty from Next, and it’s even designed by our favourite Spice Girl, Geri Halliwell – all at the bargain price of £30, click here to buy.

Daisy at Hats exhibition at the V&A – 2009

The quirky model always looks so bloomin’ good in bright colours. Orange is so hot this season, we think we need to inject a little sunshine in our lives and this dress by BooHoo.com and is only £20! Click to buy.

 

Daisy at Halo 3 launch – 2007

Oh Daisy, what have you got on? This shapeless, silver dress looks like something your Aunt might wear on a night out. The shoes are boring and she looks like she may have swam to the party – with that super greasy hair and all. Please say you have chucked these offensive items and have invested in some good shampoo?

VIP Beauty: T4 Totty Jameela Jamil’s Beauty Secrets

Thursday 26th of April 2012 06:33

Tags:

Jameela Jamil looked radiant at last nights Carphone Warehouse Appy Awards. The television star, who has recently finished presenting Playing it Straight has never looked better. The 60s flick of the eye, super white teeth and redder than red lips, give Jameela the edge. We love her look so much that we simply had to search through the beauty archives to find out how she gets it soooo right:

(1) Ciaté Vamp Nail Polish, £9

Jameela always has magnificent red nails. In an interview with Fabsugar, the T4 presenter said she’s a massive fan of Ciaté and even admitted, “I haven’t had plain nails since I discovered it (Ciaté).” We want some berry red talons too! Click here to get your mitts on some fabulous varnish.

(2) Dr Organic Manuka Honey Skin Lotion, £7.19

Jam is always wearing strapless dresses, so her skin has to look super soft and toned. For this, she uses Dr Organic Manuka cream, which she confessed to Cosmopolitan is so nourishing, it’s good enough to eat. “It smells so delicious, I want to eat my face!” Hang on a minute Jameela, cannibalism is a step too far! Visit the website to buy.

(3) Johnsons Baby Wipes, £2.39

Jameela has such luscious, golden, clear skin it just doesn’t seem fair. The television star told vitamin water that her secret is simple – baby wipes. She said these magic cloths work on everything, and are perfect to take on holiday and to festivals. We had better get to Superdrug now!

(4) John Frieda Frizz-Ease Serum Finishing Spray Gloss Mist, £5.59

Jameela always has sleek, long locks which we are super jel over. Our frizzy manes are in serious need of a make-over and according to the presenter, it’s only John Frieda which works for her, Now magazine reported. To get a super soft, glossy mane visit the website here.

VIP Party Picks: Werewolves and Jewellery

Wednesday 25th of April 2012 07:09

Tags: ,

What do you get when you mix ladies of the night with mythical creatures? Why, the new movie, Strippers vs Werewolves of course! This new Brit flick directed by Jonathan Glendning stars Robert Englund, Billy Murray, Martin Kemp and Lucy Pinder, and they all turned out to the premiere at the Apollo, in Piccadilly Circus last night. The plot revolves around the chief werewolf Jack Ferris’s death at the hands of a group of strippers. These fun-loving ladies have until the next full moon to find a way to keep the bloodthristy werewolf pack at bay when they return to seek revenge.

The cast includes glamour model Lucy Pinder who seems to have put her topless career on hold, whilst she pursues a future in film. The page three beauty plays a vampire bride in the tongue-in-cheek horror flick. When we caught up with Lucy at the premiere yesterday she said she is ready to have a career change and thinks film is ideal for her. Hmmmm, we’re not too sure about that, but we think your image change is fabulous. The model told us that she uses less make-up as it looked too heavy before. She said she loves Lancome Teint Miracle, which is light, but gives you amazing coverage. Next stop for us is the Lancome counter at HOF.

The film is released April 27th.
