Congratulations are in order this evening for reality star Binky Felstead, who has announced that she is expecting her first child.

The Made in Chelsea star confirmed the news to Hello! magazine, revealing that she is expecting with her ex-boyfriend and co-star, Josh 'JP' Paterson.

"It's obviously been a huge shock to both of us," explained the 26-year-old, whose real name is Alexandra.

The entrepreneur remains positive about the future, despite the fact she and JP are not together romantically.

"This is a new start and a new chapter in our lives. I want to be a little family, to be honest, but I'm going to be OK either way," she added.

JP also shared his thoughts about impending fatherhood with the magazine, saying: "Where we're both being very mature is with the fact that you should never get back together just because there's a baby in the picture."

Binky and JP have dated on and off for the past two years.

We are currently counting down the days, minutes and seconds until we get paid… all thanks to the magnificent Danielle Nicole.

Danielle has collaborated with Disney to create the most beautiful range of character-inspired bags, EVER.

There are amazing double-sided clutches that feature princesses and villains, like Snow White and the Evil Queen.  

There are also a few gorgeous bags inspired by characters from The Little Mermaid, like a groovy fringed Ursula bag and a Sebastian clutch. 

We are also LOVING the cross-body bag inspired by Disney's Peter Pan… that comes in the form of a glitzy-looking Tinkerbell. 

The best thing about these bags is the fact that they are so AFFORDABLE.

That's right, ladies; these stunning Disney bags start at just €26, and go up as high as just €82… which is a small price to pay for PURE JOY. 

As soon as that pay cheque comes in, we are buying all of these.

Just when you think the Internet couldn't possibly get any weirder, we discover Bitch Slap! Cosmetics

This unusual makeup company sells highlighter and bronzers with boobs, vaginas and penises stamped into them, because… feminism.

Our personal favourite, and one of the company's top sellers, is the "hairy balls highlighter" (we dare you to read that with a straight face). 

 

Back in stock…. King Kong highlighters #Mac #bsc #makeup #cosmetics #lipsticks #Facebook #glow

The funny thing is, the products are actually brilliant, and the colours are all great… but it just all feels a bit weird. 

Imagine being out for dinner, and touching up your makeup with HAIRY BALLS…?

OK… we're laughing out loud.  

While we are totally obsessed with this company, we'll stick to MAC for now, thanks…

Not all heroes wear capes, ladies; Kristen Roedel is one of those heroes. 

This amazing Etsy seller has created a handmade Harry Potter version of Monopoly, and suddenly our lives are complete.

The game is similar to the classic Monopoly set-up, but with many wizarding twists and turns along the way. 

 

WANT! #fangirling #fangirlforlife #pottopoly #harrypotter

The game comes with a full game board, and features properties such as the 'Cupboard under the Stairs' and 'The Chamber of Secrets'.

How FUN?

Unlike traditional Monopoly, you will be given Charm cards and Potion cards, instead of Chance and Community cards.

Instead of little houses and hotels, Pottopoly has little cottages and castles, in a range of colours. 

 

Best husband EVER  #harrypotter #pottopoly

Harry, Ron, Hermione, Voldemort, Snape and Draco replace the classic figures (no dogs and hats in sight).

 

Already for my first game .. #pottopoly

Now, the bad news is that this product is totally sold out (obviously), but Kristen is currently working on more, with the hope of a re-stock in the next couple of months. 

We will be waiting, wands at the ready.

Remember last year, when the entire Internet went absolutely mad for rainbow hair?

Well, there is a new kid in town, and that new kid goes by the name of "vivid roots". 

This Instagram-worthy hairstyle can be achieved by simply adding a vivid colour of your choice to the roots of your hair, and nowhere else.

 

Give your roots a pop of color ! #vividhair #insiderbeauty

A video posted by @insiderbeauty on

Many people opt for just one solid colour, but some wonderfully brave folks have chosen the rainbow roots way of life. 

 

Primadonna girl, yeah All I ever wanted was the world

That is the beauty of this new trend… it can be as bold and extreme as you like, but can also be subtle and low key.

Either way though, we are totally loving vivid roots!

Ladies, if you were a fan of shiny disco pants and over-priced T-shirts, then your heart is about to shatter into a million pieces.

American Apparel is shutting down after being purchased at a bankruptcy auction by Canadian company Gildan Activewear.

So yes, American Apparel is actually no longer American… there are too many jokes to count, here. 

Image result for american apparel

Gildan Activewear wants to shut down American Apparel's 110 stores, as well as their factory in Los Angeles. 

OH, the humanity. 

Image result for american apparel

The brand, which has become infamous for its outrageous advertisements, has been struggling for quite some time. 

For the casual price of $88 million, Gildan has acquired American Apparel's intellectual property, manufacturing equipment and a lot more.

We cannot help but feel for the 3,500 people who are at risk of losing their jobs in the coming weeks, as a result of this sale. 

Goodbye, American Apparel; we'll miss you!

Wizards and muggles alike will absolutely ADORE these snake-tastic new makeup brushes.

Sonia Kashuk has released a collection of cosmetic utensils that even Draco Malfoy would use. 

The sleek set features 10 brushes, including a contour brush, foundation brush, eyeshadow smudger, and brow spoolie.

They are black in colour (like the soul of the Dark Lord) and have a gold gilded serpent slithering up the handle.

You can also buy a groovy brush holder separately, to keep your gorgeous Slytherin brushes organised.

The set of 10 magical brushes are pretty reasonably priced, at just 39. 

A message for the Sorting Hat: PLEASE put us in Slytherin.

Ladies, this is not a drill. 

There is an actual Game of Thrones pop-up bar open right now, and the detail is incredible. 

Every Wednesday and Thursday night, the basement of the Daylight Robbery bar in Edinburgh transforms into a haven for GOT fans.

It is set up and run by a marvellous group of individuals that call themselves the Pop-Up Geeks, and we love them for it! 

 

Winter is coming… #IsThatNedStark? #bloodandwinebar #gameofthrones #edinburgh #scotland #drinks #ale #medieval #january

The Westeros-worthy pub is filled with various props, posters and fur-covered countertops. 

The pub has an extensive drinks menu, which is filled with wine (duh!) and various infused cocktails inspired by the hit TV show. 

There is also DELICIOUS-looking, meat-filled food on the menu, including 'Frey Pies' and 'Sansa’s Lemon Cakes'. 

Em… YUM!?

Be warned though, time is of the essence; as the pop-up is only going to be open until the end of February, so you better get booking. 

BTW, if you need us… we'll be in Edinburgh.

As the glorious Coco Chanel once said, "if you're sad, add more lipstick", and we could not agree more.

Lipstick is a sure-fire way to put a smile on a woman's face, and that is why we are SO excited about MAC's new launch. 

The beautiful people behind the brilliance that is MAC Cosmetics are releasing a new range of "colour rocker" lipsticks.

The limited-edition range will include 28 brand-spanking-new shades of matte lipstick, and they’re basically a NEON RAINBOW.

According to Teen Vogue, the collection will include "a cornflower blue (Indigo-Go), electric orange (Darling Clementine), and lime green (Into The Madness)".

This bright and exciting line of lippies will be launching on January 26, so get ready!

French designer brand Vetements has released a special line of sweatshirts that are "‘Gay, Lesbian and Fetish" themed.

Now, before you jump to conclusions – when we say 'fetish', we don't mean chains, whips and leather masks. 

The collection includes a rainbow-striped sweatshirt that pays homage to the gay pride flag.

Then, there is the purple and black jumper, that features a double-sided axe or, as it's also known, a labrys.

Apparently, this axe is used by Lesbian activists as a symbol of woman's strength and self-sufficiency.

Finally, there is the fetish jumper, and it is black, blue and white with a red heart in one corner, which are the colours of the leather pride flag.

Anyway, at $625 a pop, we don't fully understand the appeal, but thousands of people did. 

The sweaters completely sold out just after Christmas, and have since been restocked.

Ladies, as if we needed a bloody excuse, at least now we have one. 

According to a recent study carried out by the London School of Economics, the more educated women are, the more likely they are to drink more.

The study focused on the link between drinking habits and intelligence, and found that "University educated women in the UK drank 86 percent more than women of the same age who did not go to university".

Probably because they're stressed AF!

Anyway, while this kind of seems like a blessing, this study also reported that college educated women are more likely to be heavy drinkers and alcoholics.

So it's not all unicorns and rainbows, unfortunately!

Basically, booze won't actually make you more intelligent' but if you are intelligent, you'll drink more booze. 

Cheers, so.
