TOP TIPS EVERY GIRL SHOULD KNOW...!

We all know that they best way to lose weight is to eat right and exercise. However, we also know that this takes some time, and even with all our best intentions......we dont always stick to our self made gym promises, so if you need a quick fix to make yourself look thinner, follow these tips.

 

Know your shape


Take a good look at your self in the mirror and get to know your body.
Dressing in a way that is appropriate for your shape can take 10 pounds off you.
Think about the lines of your clothes and where they hit you on your body. You do not want clothes meeting, starting or ending at an unflattering part. So if you have large calves, wear a shorter skirt above the knee or a longer maxi dress.
Are you apple shaped? In that case do not wear clothes that are round on top and bottom such as a floaty maxi dress.
Always accentuate the smallest part of your body. If you are pear shaped wear a fitted shirt and wide leg trousers.
This will accentuate your small upper half and hide any lumps or bumps on the bottom.
Read on for more tips on dressing thinner.

Wear one colour top to toe


Match your top and bottom half.
If you wear black from head to toe (like Catherine Zeta Jones ), as we all know, you will look up to 10 pounds lighter!
Too boring for you? Wear bright accessories or shoes.  Neon is going to be huge this summer, add a statement necklace to instantly brighten and update your outfit.

Belt up

A wide belt will make you look thinner.
Make sure that the belt fits right and there is no unattractive over or under hang.  Jeniffer Hudson is a perfect example of how a belt can make you look instantly thinner, and give you an amazing shape.

Wear the right trousers


The best trousers sit just at your hip, unless you have a slim waist in which wear high waisted trousers.
Make sure that your trousers fit, muffin tops are not good. Wide leg trousers or flares will balance wide hips as long as you tuck in your top so that you do not look large all over.
Flat fronted trousers pull in your tummy and create a uniform line across your stomach which makes you look thinner, and taller.
Trousers with a wide waistband will be more flattering that narrow ones which can draw your eye to any lumps, bumps or bulges.
Picking a fabric with a slight stretch will help ensure that you are comfortable and also that the trousers hold their shape.

Heels make you look tall and thin

We know that they aren’t always comfortable but if you want to look slimmer heels will elongate your body, particularly your legs.
If you are wearing them with jeans or trousers make sure that they are long enough to cover your instep.


Pencil skirts are slinky & sexy

Pencil skirts are flattering to all shapes. They show your curves and make you look and feel slinky! Team with a fitted shirt or slogan t-shirt and a killer pair of heels and you are ticking loads of the boxes! Look at the gorgeous and curvy Dita Von Teese.



Block colours


If you have to wear prints, wear the right ones, and block colours are in all the shops right now, and as you all know we love a trend, so this is the best way to make the trend work for you.
Block colour will slim you much more than prints.
That doesn’t mean that you can never wear prints or patterns but if you do, pick small prints (they make you look smaller).

Wear a tailored jacket


A jacket that is fitted at the waist and hip length will give you a svelte figure.
A jacket that is too big on you or one that just isn’t fitted will make you look bigger.
Jennifer Hudson gets this look perfectly. She wears a black outfit but teams it with a fitted gold jacket to show off her waist.

Wear bright red

We know this is difficult if you are self conscious and don’t want to draw attention to yourself but the colour will soak up the light making you look thinner and it also gives you a confidence boost making you walk taller!

Rock the nude trend with nude shoes

They will add inches to your legs, but only if your pins are bare. Wearing them with black tights sort of defeats the purpose.

Posture – walk tall

Ok we realise that this has nothing to do with clothes but posture makes a huge difference to how slim you look.
Hold in your stomach a little, so that it is still comfortable, tuck your tailbone in a little and under and keep straight and tall as if you are trying to touch the ceiling with the top of your head. This sounds like a lot but if you practice you will soon get the hang of it and it will become second nature. This also has the benefits of strengthening your abs!

So there you have it folks....a few sneaky stylists tips to remember, when shopping or putting outfits together.

CHLOE WANTS A BUM JOB!!!!

Chloe Sims is preparing herself to get more plastic surgery, this time on her bum. This TOWIE girl will never be happy with her body, someone needs to slap her, and tell her she looks amazeballs!!!

Chloe has shown her medical report after her consultation with a plastic surgeon on the hit ITV2 show. However, she has revealed that the suggested size is not big enough and she wants to go even bigger – the reality TV star wants a bum like Nicki Minaj!.......I cant help thinking, NOOOO!!! babies gonna have way to much back!!!
The 28-year-old shows off her naked body with pre-surgery marks in the new Reveal magazine. In the accompanying interview she said:
At the moment, I don’t feel attractive in the body department because I’m so skinny.
‘I’ve tried to put on weight but it just goes straight to my belly. I end up looking like a gangly girl with a pot belly, big boobs and no bum.’
The full interview with Sims is in the new issue of Reveal magazine, on sale now
Chloe thinks that a bigger bum will make her feel sexier and more confident despite being warned that she would not be able to sit down for two weeks after the operation:
You can’t sit down for two weeks, in case the pressure moves the implants out of place.
‘I’ll be able to stand up, lie down on my side and my tummy, but I can’t lie on my back.
‘I won’t be able to drive and I’m not sure how I’m going to go to the toilet. I’m presuming I’ll have to squat.’
While, we here at Style Towers, would never try and tell anyone how to live their lives, we can't help butt (haha) thinking, its just going to be something else after this operation, and shes gonna end up looking like Heidi Montag!!!
And nobody deserves that........not even Heidi Montag .....!

KELLY BROOKS NEW LOOK !!!

Kelly Brook is known for her banging curves, so she is the perfect model for New Look’s new party dress range. The model has said that her New Look range feels amazing to wear. Kelly told Closer magazine:
“I wore the gold dress to the New Look Westfield store opening in Stratford,”
“I felt amazing and when I worked on the till all the girls in store were buying it!”
The dresses come in a variety of figure hugging shapes, sizes, colours and glitters. Kelly loves the glamorous numbers the most:
“I adore the green sequinned one with the low back,”
“It’s an amazing colour and the long sleeves make it understated yet still very sexy. It will look fantastic with killer heels.”
Brooks is most well-known for her curves but they seem to have reduced a little lately. Kelly has told contactmusic.com that she is taking boxing classes with her boyfriend Thom Evans to maintain her new slimmer shape:
“I do Pilates, ride my bike and swim in my pool. I went to a boxing class with my boyfriend, but he kept jabbing me when the tutor wasn’t looking,”

The collection will be available from the end of October and prices will start at E24.99.

WORST KEPT SECRET.....JESSICA IS PEGGERS!!!

Yesterday I told you how Jessica Simpson’s father/manager was refusing to let the singer confirm her pregnancy until he’d secured a six figure deal.
Well, OK! magazine USA must have opened their wallet because Jessica and the tagline, ‘Yes, I’m having a baby’ are this week’s cover story.
Inside the mag the 31-year-old, who has received her far share of criticism in the past for piling on a couple of pounds, joked:
“Well, now I can eat anything I want and no one will care. It’s just sort of a rule with pregnant women.”
Jeeny Mack.....I thought she was still gonna be denying the poor baby, when she was pushing the buggy!!!

PEACHES IS IN A PICKLE !!!

Am I missing something here, Peaches Geldof is the daughter of a multi-millionaire isn’t she? OK, Bob Geldolf isnt know for his generousity, but still .......I'm struggling to understand why the socialite felt like she needed to steal (or allegedly I should say) £70 worth of make-up from Boots last week.

Apparently, Peaches was caught red-handed nicking clobber such as foundation, mascara and eyeliner.
A plain clothes store detective caught the spawn of Sir Bob loading her jacket up with the goodies and immediately took her to a back room where she was forced to hand over her haul.
The lovely people at Boots decided not to involve the police in the incident and Peaches eventually walked away scott free. A witness at the scene said that Peaches wasn’t in any way morto or apologetic when she was caught.

This isn’t the first time Geldof has been accused of shoplifting either, apparently she’s been at the centre of four other incidents however this is the first time she’s actually been caught in the act, so to speak.

SAM FAIERS BADLY BEATEN BY VICIOUS GIRL GANG

Sam Faiers was savagely attacked by a gang of ten girls on Saturday night, who ran away, and left her badly beaten.

The trouble started a night earlier when Sam’s sister, Billie had her £2,500 Mulberry handbag stolen during a night out in London.
The bag contained cash and her mobile phone and obvs a rack load of make up. Once she realised it had been taken she complained to bouncers who quickly removed the unsavoury characters from the nightclub.
However, unbeknownst to Billie the girls that stole the bag were waiting outside for her to leave the venue and she was set upon.
Luckily after a minor scuffle, which involved lots hair pulling and name calling Billie managed to escape in a taxi.

So where does Sam come into this, I hear you ask? Well, Billie’s sister, Sam received a phone call from the thieves offering to meet up and return her sister’s belongings so Sam arranged to meet them in Repton Park in Chigwell, which where she was set upon and left for dead - Shocking! There really are some really vile people in this world.
Thankfully Sam wasn’t alone and her friend, who was also attacked, managed to take her to hospital where she has spent the night recovering.

The link below, shows footage of Billie is a brawl with one of the girls who robbed her bag.  Some people may find the video disturbing.
