We love Eva Mendes’ street style.

The actress really has a love for vintage and bohemian looks that we are obsessed with too. From ethnic patterns to flowing feminine skirts Eva always look fabulous.

Our first pick is a red polka dot dress that is quite striking and draws attention without being too much for a daytime look.

This grey coat is stunning and paired with a neutral top and black pants, it makes the perfect outfit.

The third look is a floral dress that is feminine and summery, we love the vintage hemline.

We are obsessed with the final look, from the head scarf to the patterned dress, it’s just  beautiful!

Women have a habit of over-thinking everything: “I hope the heaters are off”, “I wonder if I turned off the telly”, “I better go home to a tidy kitchen” – it’s endless really!

Since it’s in our nature to question things, it’s not surprising we do the exact same when we stay over at his for the first time.

Here are some of the things every woman thinks the first time she sleeps over:

  1. What if he snores?
  2. What if I snore?
  3. I hope I don’t wake up to an oily face.
  4. When do I take off my make-up?
  5. He better have hot water in the morning.
  6. Why didn’t I bring my pjs?
  7. I’m starving, but I don’t want to seem I’m a hassle.
  8. What I fart while I’m sleeping?
  9. I hope he brushes his teeth before bed.
  10. What will I do if I wake up before him?

It’s a skill that your boss might adore you for, but it looks like multi-tasking causes more stress for your body than you think.

Research shows that doing too many things at once sends electric signals throughout the body which cause stress.

So rather than being superwoman, take a few minutes to relax and see what you can do to get rid of this habit:

Meditate

A rested mind makes for a rested person. Quiet the mind with some meditation until you learn to drive away stressful thoughts that overwhelm you.

Disappear

Take a break from all things technological. Turn off your phone, television, iPod – everything. Try to go without them for at least an hour. If you do it at night, your brain can slow down before you snooze off.

Be earthy

Go for a long walk and take a few moments to enjoy the nature around you. You’ll be surprised how refreshing it is.

If you are pale skinned, gracing the beach in nothing less than at least one layer of fake tan is usually a no-no for the less brave.

However, after Little Mix’s Perri Edwards’ latest outing shows, maybe it’s time to ditch the tan and embrace the pale skin.

The 20-year-old, who is engaged to 1D’s Zayn Malik, showed off her naturally pale skin on a recent trip to Fort Lauderdale beach and we think she looked SHEmazing. She complimented her skin with a dark swimsuit and large shades.

The singer admitted that she was very conscious of her pale skin when she first started with the band and stuck to fake tan to hide it; however, it looks like the soon-to-be Mrs. Malik is starting to become less conscious about it.

Hopefully, the 20-year-old stocked up on suncream before hitting the waves.

We salute you, Ms. Edwards.

4. A good, sturdy and most importantly, waterproof, pair of shoes
It may not even be raining but if the ground is wet you still need waterproof shoes. If your feet are cold, you’ll be cold.

It has been reported that a reconciliation may be on the cards for Rihanna and Drake.

The two have been seen together numerous times in the past month and just last night Rihanna was spotted at Drake’s DJ set in the Soixante Dix Neuf nightclub in Paris.

The couple were rumoured to be a couple last year which was said to have resulted in a brawl between Drake and Chris Brown in W.I.P. nightclub in New York City. However Rihanna has since said that the fight had nothing to do with her and told Vogue she “wasn’t even there”.

As you know, there’s a very fine line between sexy and tacky. Some women can get away with looking sexy by showing a bit of skin, while others look sexier when they cover up some more. Either way, you need to know your body shape and what you can or cannot get away with.

Here are some guidelines to help you look sexy without being tacky:

DO make sure you wear clothes that are suited to the shape and size of your body. Sexy is the last thing they’ll see if you’re bulging out of your clothes.

DON’T go overboard with the make-up. If you want heavy eye make-up, then go light on the lips and vice versa.

DO dress for the weather. A mini skirt in the freezing cold is far from sexy.

DON’T forget use chewing gum and perfume (especially if you’re a smoker).There’s nothing more off-putting than the scent of cigarettes left on hair and clothes.

DO walk with confidence.

DON’T overdo it with the fake tan. Keep it as natural as possible.
