Lauren Conrad’s style has always been enviable, so it’s no surprise that she has her own successful clothing brand, Paper Crown.

Lauren has great street style, often teaming shirts with ankle-skimming jeans and cute ballet flats. She always looks so good on a night out too – how cute is that navy skirt/beige shirt combo?

We also love the old Hollywood glamour style in the second picture.

And a special mention for her gorgeous hair, which is always pristine whether it’s in tumbling curls or a casual topknot!

Every day, life throws challenges at us when we least expect them –job loss, family problems, health issues.  While most of us have all been there, it’s how you handle the problem that sets you apart from the ordinary.

During a crisis, you’re going to have a natural “fight or flight” response – we’re here to help you make sure you can tackle the problem head on instead of running away.

Breathe deeply
When you’re facing a crisis, your heart and breathing can speed up and go into overdrive. Make sure you breathe deeply – remember, in through your noise and out through your mouth.

Think before you act
Before you go running for the hills, assess the situation and try to determine how to fix the problem or handle the situation. Never think something is impossible before you try it.

Reassure yourself
Often your mind will start racing into the worst case scenario so tell yourself that you will be fine. Reassuring yourself out loud will help you gain some perspective.

Accepting that things can go wrong will help you prepare for any future crisis.

Poor Anne Hathaway always seems to get a terrible time and the Les Miserables actress is well aware of her “Hathahaters”.

The Dark Knight Rises star admits that she got “a beating” online after she won several awards, including an Oscar, last year. The 31-year-old was picked on for her seemingly long speeches, as well as her dress sense.  She confesses that her critics made her shy away from the limelight as she felt like “people needed a break” from her.

Talking to MTV at the Sundance Film Festival about her new film Song One, the actress says that the low budget film couldn’t have come at a better time.

She explains: “We had been working on the script for almost two years before we actually started shooting. All of the elements came together in that moment.. I don’t want to bring up a sore subject or anything — I think my publicist is probably like ‘No, no no’ — but I had just taken a little bit of a beating from the Internet.”

Aw, don’t worry, Anne – we love you!

What a way to start the weekend!

The reason why some people look amazing from head to toe is not because they’ve spent loads on clothes, but because of the way they put their outfit together. With style, the way you wear something can turn more heads than the clothes you actually have on.

Here’s a few stylish ways you can rock an over-sized jumper without looking like a balloon.

Throw in a belt
Get rid of some bulk with a thick belt. This will give you a shape even under thick layers.

Collar it up
This is a timeless way to add some class to a jumper.

Leggings with style
Tights and leggings are something that have managed to stay in fashion. Since there are so many patterns to choose from you can play it safe or go a bit wild.

A scarf kinda gal
A complimentary scarf will take the attention away from the heaviness of your jumper and make people look at your beautiful face.

School days
You can never go wrong when you wear a big jumper with a mini skirt. Go ahead and flaunt those legs, what’s the hold up?

We can’t say we blame her for not wanting to be associated with this; such an irresponsible and odd invention. Due to appear on a Superdrug shelf near you, these weighing scales compare your weight to a celebrity’s weight rather than giving you figures.

So, for example if a woman were to weigh 8st, they would be compared to Cheryl Cole or Kate Middleton, 9st 2 and they would be compared to Rihanna, or if they were 18st, Melissa McCarthy.

Following bemusement and general anger from the public and indeed Ms. Cole herself, Superdrug issued a statement that withdrew the product.

Not only does this seem disrespectful to celebrities (not to mention they’re more than likely wildly inaccurate figures), it would have encouraged young, healthy women and girls to aim to be the weight of their favourite celebrity. Not good.

Everybody is different and weight is based on so many different factors.

Leaving your make-up on for too long doesn’t end well, especially if you fall into the habit of keeping it on while you sleep.

Of course we’re all guilty of sleeping with make-up on every now and again. But, it’s important that it doesn’t become a routine and here’s why.

The pores that cover our skin are a passage way for sweat and sebum to make its way to the top of your skin.

Sebum, which is a waxy liquid that helps keep the skin moisturised also helps get rid of dead skin cells and other dirt that shouldn’t be on your skin.

Wearing make-up for too long will clog your pores and stop the sebum from doing its job. Instead, the sebum will build up in your skin and cause acne – every girl’s nightmare.

So if you don’t fancy waking up to unwanted pimples, it’s always a good idea to wash your face before bedtime.

Don’t forget the eyes, ladies, (unless of course you want to wake up with an eye infection).

P.S. Russell Crowe’s Irish accent is so dodge.

Wow, Jessica is looking hot in these new promo pictures for her clothing line, featuring a sexy white swimsuit with a retro feel that we really, really want.

Following the birth of her daughter Maxwell in 2012, Jessica signed an endorsement to work with Weight Watchers in a bid to lose the 70 pounds she had put on during the pregnancy.

Shortly after Jessica fell pregnant again and gave birth to son Ace last June. However she is now back as a spokesperson for Weight Watchers and if these pictures are anything to go by she must be doing them proud!
