Prince at the Hop Farm Festival 2011
Prince at the Hop Farm Festival
I saw Prince perform at the Hop Farm Festival in Kent last night and what a show it was!
To say Prince's performance was extraordinary would be an understatement - it was FANTASTIC! He performed all my favourite Prince songs, Nothing Compares To You, Little Red Corvette. Kiss, 1999, Kiss and of course the classic, Purple Rain!
Prince on stage with his backing singers and band
Prince definitely brought the glitz and glam to the stage, he wore a white silk suit with plenty of statement jewelery including gold chain necklace and a large silver ring and had backing dancers just as glamorous as he was in sequins, glitter and afros.
I want your guitar Prince!
But best of all was his guitar decorated with leopard print skin and matching leopard print guitar strap - I knew Prince wouldn't let me down when it came to fabulous style on stage. In fact its clear the man hasn't aged a day over 25 as Prince still looked as good as he did 20 years ago, his dancing was just as good too!
I can't believe he is 53, if he is this good now, can you imagine what he was like in his prime?! Well you don't have to, as he announced he would be touring the UK later this year. So don't delay and book those tickets now as this is one show you don't want to miss!

Outfit of the Day
Maxi dress, denim jacket and tassel bag all from - Primark
I love maxi dresses for so many reasons - available in lots of different colours and designs, can be worn casually AND still look gracious and most importantly keep me cool during the hot weather!
This is one of my favourites, a maxi I bought last year. I teamed with a cropped denim jacket and sandals for a shopping trip this afternoon. As soon as I spotted this tassel bag (also from Primark) I had to have it! I love how the tassels blow in the wind! Lol
Kate Middleton Outfits in Royal Visit to Canada
It's the third day of William and Kate's visit to Canada and we're on to Kate's third outfit!
The Duchess of Cambridge has chosen a variety of outfits for their 10 day royal tour - here are a few of my favourites...
I loved the purple Issa Jersey dress Kate wore to Canada Day. The diamond leaf brooch in the form of the national emblem of Canada was a nice added touch to the outfit. Apparently the Queen loaned the brooch to Kate for the tour - lucky her!
Kate wore this grey dress by French born designer, Catherine Walker. The silhouette design is very flattering for Kate and the shoes and matching clutch bag are very cute too. I particularly loved the exposed back of the dress - cood choice Kate!

Abbey Clancy Gets Married!
Abbey Clancy and Peter Crouch get married
Kate Moss wasn't the only model who got married - Abbey Clancy, model, tv presenter and WAG married England footballer, Peter Crouch, yesterday afternoon.
The bride who recently gave birth to their first child, wore a beautiful white strapless gown designed by Giles Deacon. I absolutely love this wedding gown. It is a simple design, with a white lace corset but has the loose tousled waves of the train to finish off the complete look.
I loved the tiered silk skirt- believed to cost £10,000!
Kate Moss Wedding!
Kate Moss ties the knot!
Supermodel Kate Moss married Jamie Hince this afternoon in the Cotswolds wearing a stunning John Galliano gown.
The model's dress was a cream vintage design with floor length veil. It had beautiful gold leaf embroidery and rhinestone detail.
I loved Kate's detail on her wedding dress - lovely design!
John Galliano did a marvellous job of designing the wedding dress. It's a very beautiful, elegant dress and flatters the bride modestly. I've seen many media reports and critics were surprised she chose John Galliano to design her gown following the recent scandal whereby he allegedly made anti-Semantic remarks.
The happy couple...
I knew Kate would pick John Galliano as they have been close friends and he was a firm favourite to be chosen as her designer.
Kate chose Manolo Blahnik for her wedding shoes. He specially made the shhoes with a blue insole as Kate's "Something blue" and to match her husbands ligh blue Stefano Pilati YSL suit. Typically he chose to wear sunglasses to give it that "rock star" twist. Perhaps the shades should have been left for afterwards?!

Maybelline Shopper bag..
I’ve seen them on the shoulder of dozens of celebrities, so it wasn’t going to be long before a beauty brand like Maybelline designed their own. The shopper bag has been a big hit with celebrities and for so many good reasons.

Superdrug New False Lash Collection
My favourite lashes out of the range
I love false lashes for nights out to make my eyes stand out but I’m yet to find a false lashes suitable for day time wear until now…
Superdrug have released their own brand of false lashes called, Lash. The collection offers a wide selection of styles of lashes from intense double volume (great for eveningwear) to light natural style (perfect for everyday wear).
Each hand-made lash is clearly displayed on the packaging so customer can select from the eight types of lash effect on offer, with the aim to give its customer a “complete wardrobe of lash looks”. Spoilt for choice!
Natural Edition lashes - ideal choice for daywear
I love dramatic false lashes but the natural effect is far more suitable for everyday wear, such as wearing to work. I wore the Natural Edition lashes for one day to test their durability. These lashes stayed on throughout the day and were simple to remove too.
Loved the length of the lashes - unlike some lashes which are look too fake, these are full and not too long
Here is my tip for putting on false lashes:-
1. Apply your makeup before you add the lashes. Leave eyeliner for afterwards to fill in any gaps to line the eyelash with your eyelids.
2. Apply a very thin layer of lash adhesive to the rim of the fake lash using a toothpick to get a thin, even layer.
3. Leave the glue to dry before putting it on your eye. This is the best trick I have discovered as the glue is more likely to stick once it has dried out.
4. Now, the hard part – position the false lash. I use tweezers to align the lash with the outer corner of my eye
Lashes are available in store now and until the 2nd August 2011. They will be available at a special introductory price (until 2nd August 2011) of £3.99 for single thickness and £4.99 for double volume. (£4.49 and £5.49 each respectively from 3rd August)
