Robert Pattinson for Dior Homme

O...M...Geeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!

I am sorry, but I am literally lost for words. When I saw the new uncensored, director's cut advert for Dior Homme fragrance, featuring none other than one of the most swoon-worthy men on the planet, the delectable Robert Pattinson, I actually almost screamed in a very undignified teenager like way.

But come on, look at him! Forget Twilight, RPatz is a Dior man now and he has never looked better.

If you were team Jacob, I highly recommend watching this video and your allegiance will quickly change to team Edward. Not only does this man sizzle in the advert, with a gorgeous new high fashion look, but he wears Dior like a pro and his frame makes the clothes look fabulous.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm just going to stick this little video on repeat...again. Enjoy! x

A Gelish Nail Experience

The amazing selection of Gelish nail colours

When I was contacted by the gorgeous Katie - a fabulous beauty therapist - to see if I wanted to try out a new manicure experience called Gelish, I jumped at the chance. Firstly because at 38 weeks pregnant, I am in no position to turn down a spot of pampering and secondly, because it is a manicure I haven't heard of before and I was very curious.

The lovely Katie

I had my appointment yesterday and considering I am very particular about my nails, and I love to change the colour almost weekly, I actually fell in love with this treatment.

Katie presented me with the huge selection of Gelish nail polish colours and asked me to choose my shade. This was actually really hard, as there were so many stunning colours that I fell in love with. I almost opted for one called "Bella's Vampire" (no prizes for guessing the inspiration behind this one) but in the end, I wanted something, which would make me believe that spring will soon be here, so I went for a stunning bright coral called Tiger Blossom.

For those of you who aren't familiar with what Gelish nail polish is, here is a little lowdown...

Gelish gel polish is the world's first hybrid gel hybrid gel product. It applies like a polish but has the strength of a gel. Like a gel polish, Gelish lasts between 2 - 3 weeks, so is perfect if you're going on holiday or if you want a low maintenance manicure, which will last. It is also chip free, so added bonus there! Another great benefit is that there is no drying time - once your nails are painted, you pop them under an LED light and your nails are dry in seconds! I haven't tried it yet, but to take the Gelish polish off, you need to use acetone remover, which you soak onto cotton wool, you then wrap each finger with the cotton wool and pop some tin foil over the top to seal it. Leave your nails for 10 - 15 minutes and the polish should then be able to be buffed off easily.

So there is the background behind the polish. Katie was great - she cleaned up my nails, buffed them and tidied up my cuticles, before applying the Gelish base coat and then 2 - 3 coats of the gorgeous Tiger Blossom polish. Once dry, Katie applied a top coat and I was left with stunning, super glossy coral nails. After popping them under the LED light for 10 seconds, my nails were completely dry, and I was able to rummage around in my bag, with no fear of smudging or chipping. I am officially in love with Gelish!

As an incentive to get you to try this fabulous manicure, Katie is offering £5 off your first Gelish treatment (usual price £25). Simply quote: "Belle of the Ball" when booking.

What I've Been Up To Recently

Happy Monday!

I can't believe how quickly the weeks are flying by now. With less than 15 weeks to go (PG) before the birth of Titch, I'm trying to cram in as much as possible, so each week and weekend seems to be packed at the moment...which is great but is starting to knacker me out and give me a constant sore throat. Oh well! I went out with some of my girlfriends to see the last instalment (sniff sniff) of the Twilight Saga, Breaking Dawn part 2 on Saturday night. I am such a huge fan of the books (don't care how lame it is to say that) and we couldn't wait to see the last chapter on screen. Still team Edward all the way and the surprise ish) ending was enough to cause us to yell out loud in the cinema (cringe).

Anyway, besides that, here is what I have been up to over the last couple of weeks.

Breaking Dawn Premiere Smoulders on the Red Carpet!

I am not ashamed to admit that I LOVE Twilight! Can't really stand miss Stewart and her constant moodiness, but damn those vampire and werewolf boys are hot!

Anyway, enough lusting! Last night was the London premiere for the fourth instalment of the saga, Breaking Dawn part 1, and the stars sizzled on that red carpet!

Kristin Stewart looked sullen but beautiful in a sparkling, midnight Roberto Cavalli dress with a daringly high split, and an Alexander McQueen belt. She was wearing a pair of gorgeous high heels, but quelle suprise she changed into a manky pair of trainers. Come on girl, just keep it together for one night!!!

The boys looked beautifully manly and gorgeous, and with Ashley Greene and Nicki Reed - two of the Cullen sisters for those not in the know - pulling off stunning gowns at the LA premieres, Twilight proves it has hatched some real style mavens!

What do you think, are you going to be checking out Breaking Dawn? Enjoy x

Kristen Stewart Vogue Cover Girl?? Get the Forks Out of Here!!

OK, this is not a hate thing. I do admit, I don't like Kristen Stewart...and it's not because she has access to my dream husband R-Patz when she feels like it...well, maybe a little to do with that. The girl constantly moans about being in the public eye and being hounded by the paps (um, hello? Don't become an actress then little miss ungrateful!) She likened the pap attention to "being raped", but also, the girl still dresses and looks like a moody, "couldn't give a toss about fashion" teenager (I mean who - apart from Lily Allen circa 2005 - actually wheres a designer cocktail dress with sneakers to an awards show?) Plus, the girl never smiles!!

So as you can see, I am not K-Stew's biggest fan. I am however, a huge fan of fashion bible Vogue, and to my shock and horror, who did I see gracing the Feb 2011 cover? Little Miss Grouchy Pants! The lucky cow is sporting a fabulous Proenza Schouler gown, and was photographed by fashion legend Mario Testino (who else, this is Vogue after all!)

Once again, the girl doesn't crack a smile, and is shown in a uncomfortable pose clutching her arm...I'm sorry, I just don't get it. Am I missing something?? And again, she moans about the attention: "There's no way to eloquently put this. I just can't go to the mall. It bothers me that I can't be outside very often. And also to not ever be 'some girl' again. Just being some chick at some place, that's gone." (quote from Vogue)

Why oh why is K-Stew adorning the cover? I'm sorry Miss Swan, but better slink back to Forks where you can be all moody and mysterious, and leave the Vogue covers to the more fashion elite...or at least a gal who looks like she might appreciate it a bit more...oh, and if Rob gets bored of the chic moody thing you have going on, feel free to send him my way :) enjoy! x
