The former Desperate Housewives star is never seen dressed down and always looks ladylike and sexy.

Always snapped wearing the designs of her best friend Victoria Beckham, Eva loves to wear colour blocks and is rarely seen with patterns on.

Eva loves jeans and can often be seen pairing them with a cute shirt.

This orange dress is by Victoria Beckham and is eye-catching, fitting her figure perfectly.

We love black lace and we love slits, so this is the perfect dress! Although the neckline is quite high, the glimpse of leg more than makes up for it!

Another Victoria Beckham dress finishes off our favourite picks. We just love the way Eva has paired this colour-block dress with purple heels.

Everyone loves pancakes right?

Our guess is that there is a very small percentage of people who dislike them. With all the gluten-free, grain-free and starch-free recipes out there, there’s just so much you can do to pancake to make them suit your desires or dietary needs.

Here are some tips on how you can prepare for Pancake Tuesday:

Look out for deals
Plenty of supermarkets are doing discounts on pancake toppings such as chocolate spread, lemon juice or honey. So make sure you head down to your local supermarket to see what deals they have

Make your own topping
If you want to be creative, you could always make your own topping beforehand. Maple syrup is pretty easy to make and you can store it away for a couple of weeks (if it lasts that long).

Be prepared to share
We know, it’s a tough one. But look at in this way, the more you share, the less pounds you put on!

You want new shoes? You buy them. You want to go on holidays? You book a flight. You want a man? You chase him right?

Not quite!

If you want a man, the last thing you do is go after him. If anything, this does more damage than good. Instead of running after them, let them come to you.

Biologically, men are hard-wired to go after what they want and they will stop at nothing until they get it. If you want him to come after you, think of yourself as the woman that they want not the one they run away from.

If you want him to chase you, remember that you’re the prize.  View yourself in a different way. This will help you develop an aura of confidence that will make you a human magnet to your crush.

Lastly, try not to overdo it. If you let him do too much chasing then you might come across as snotty. It’s important to find the right balance.

Thanks to a new medical discovery, dieters could soon enjoy their cake in a guilt-free way.

UK scientist found that adding seaweed extract to cakes and foods prevents fat from being broken down and absorbed by the body.

This means, eating foods that have seaweed extracts could help you shed a few pounds.

Researcher Dr Matthew Wilcox said: “Normally, between 95 and 100 per cent of all the food eaten is broken down and absorbed. If you don’t absorb as much fat, then hopefully you can lose weight.”

Tests showed that seaweed extracts stopped nearly three-quarters of the fat in food from being digested into small enough pieces to be absorbed – that’s pretty impressive!

Although seaweed cake doesn’t sound very appealing, the majority of volunteers who ate bread with alginate – a powder made from seaweed – found that it tasted much nicer than normal bread.

If ‘alginate bread’ tastes much nicer than normal bread, can you imagine what alginate cake tastes like? Yum!

Unless you are one of the lucky ones, you probably dream of waking up with flawless, clear skin.

The following tips will help steer you in the right direction:

Don’t excessively clean

Cleansing your skin too much will cause you to unintentionally strip it of its natural oils, causing it to dry out.

Don’t exfoliate too often

Exfoliation is great for removing dead skin cells but if you over-do it you can strip away the new layer.

Wash your hands before cleaning your face

Your hands carry a multitude of bacteria so make sure you wash them before putting them on your face, otherwise you end up transferring them onto your face.

Stick with a cleanser

Face wipes are handy when you are out and about but make sure you use a proper cleanser in the morning and at night.

Always use a moisturiser

Everyone should moisturise after cleansing, even if you have oily skin. If you don’t moisturise, your skin will produce excessive oils to hydrate it which results in an oily face.

Missing a flight has got to be one of the worst things to happen but unfortunately, it is usually your own fault…

Misreading your flight times

This is an easy mistake to make – not everyone knows how to read a 24 hour clock…

Traffic delays

You should always factor traffic into your journey to the airport.

Forgetting your passport

Well, now this is just being careless.

Staying too long in the bar after security

The first thing you do after going through security is to hit the bar, sure what else would be doing. Unfortunately, some people can get a little too comfy and end up missing their flight.

Forgetting to factor in security

Seriously you should know by now that security takes a long time, especially when certain travellers insist on not putting their cosmetics into plastic bags- seriously people.

Sleeping in

What do airlines expect, the cheap flights are always at a ridiculous hour.

What has happened to our favourite  blonde Australian bombshell?

Margot Robbie appeared on the red carpet for the Oscars last night with a drastically different look.

The young actress has dyed her hair dark brown as well as wearing very dark, gothic inspired make-up.

We’re not too sure about this – perhaps if the new look had been matched with a brighter coloured dress it could have been carried off a bit better that it was.

The dark hair, dark make-up and black dress make it all a bit much unfortunately. What do you think?

Being packed with a high concentration of vitamins, minerals, amino acids and antioxidants, seaweed has long been known for its goodness, but it seems there is more to the ocean’s slimy algae than first thought.

According to Scientists from the University of Newcastle’s Institute for Cell and Molecular Biosciences, alginate found in kelp is to be the latest tool in our fight against fat.

The findings were published in the journal Food Chemistry and lead scientist Professor Jeff Pearson said: “We have already added alginate to bread and initial taste tests have been extremely encouraging. Now the next step is to carry out clinical trials to find out how effective they are when eaten as part of a normal diet.”

Researchers found that alginate helps suppress the digestion of fat by blocking the action of the enzyme and avoid the “side effects of convention anti-obesity drugs that inhibit enzyme activity.”

Now all we need to do is find a few seaweed recipes.

The claws are out! Liz Hurley made quite the sly dig towards her love-rival Michelle Mone on her Instagram account.

The actress uploaded an image from Planet of the Apes with the caption: “No accounting for taste.”

It has been rumoured that Liz’s husband, Shane Warne, from whom she is now separated, has been seeing Michelle Mone for the past few weeks.

It was rumoured that Shane spent time in Michelle’s hotel room at the Dorchester, even bringing roses and champagne, which he has denied: “I’m single, I’m not seeing anyone, I’m not dating anyone.”

Michelle has also denied the hook-up saying: “I’d never ever take a guy if he was taken.” Hmm, we’re not sure Liz believes you Michelle!

He wins one Oscar and he’s already pulling the rug from underneath us!

Matthew McConaughey has confirmed he will not be retuning for a second season of the hit HBO show True Detective.

The show sees McConaughey teaming up with Woody Harrelson and has proved to be a massive success. It has been commissioned for eight episodes with the seventh airing last night.

HBO have not confirmed a second season but it is thought that it will star two more high-profile actors in a different area with different circumstances. Hopefully that will be as amazing as season one has been so far!

Although we have a feeling that the success from the current season has come from the brilliant duo that is Woody and Matthew.

If you haven’t seen it yet then the trailer is below so you can see what you’re missing!
