All women are guilty of making some style mistakes from time to time – we're only human after all!

Here are the mistakes we'll make when it comes to style and beauty during out lifetime:

1. You Try Too Hard
A short skirt, falsies and a heavy tan do not necessarily mean you have it going on. Sometimes less is more.

2. You Put On Too Much Make Up
Please, please, remember the golden rule: heavy eye make up means natural lips, dark lippie means light on the eyes!

3. Curling Your Hair Every Single Day
Think of hair's future, please!

4. Uncomfortable Clothes
Those hotpants are not comfy, just admit it. Throw on some sweats and come join the rest of us.

Look, we all know we are more interested in looking at female celebrities than male ones (except you Ryan, calm down). Here are the top lady crushes most women have:

10. Emma Stone
Emma Stone burst onto our radars as the quirky, offbeat comedy star with a difference. Yes, there’s no denying that she’s beautiful but she’s also a little different, funny and not your typical Hollywood starlet. They say you can’t have it all…

9. Olivia Wilde
Not just a pretty face, Olivia took the stage name Wilde after the one and only Oscar, a testament to her brains too, perhaps? No, mainly because her real name is Olivia Cockburn. No, it is. Not only does she act, she also models, writes, acts and directs. Oh and she just did a shoot with Glamour where she showed just how beautiful is is to be a breastfeeding mum. Swoon.

8. Miranda Kerr
Miranda started out as a Victoria’s Secret model (no surprise there really) and rose through the ranks to become one of the most famous Supermodels of recent times. As if that wasn’t quite enough, she’s also a fashion icon and has the worlds cutest baby with Orlando Bloom. Life envy much?

7. Christina Hendricks
Christina, or as most of us will know her, Joan, the steely star of Mad Men, is as famous for her acting skills as she is for her curves and she never looks as good as when poured into another of those fabulous vintage costumes. Not bitter at all…

6. Mila Kunis
Mila is another classic case of being the girl that every man wants and every woman wants to be. Not just content with being hot, smart, funny and oh yes, engaged to Ashton Kutcher, she’s also a serious film actress when the time calls for it. *Sigh*

5. Jennifer Lawrence
Who doesn’t love Jennifer Lawrence? She proved herself as a worthy actress from the get go and her popularity has been on an upward spike ever since. The fact that she appears to be so grounded, normal and funny only helps to increase our admiration (and love) for her.

4. Alessandra Ambrosio
Brazilian born Alessandra is a Victoria’s Secret model (no surprise there) and there isn’t really much else to say here, so just look at the image below and feel the awe rise up around you.  If you aren’t blessed with her genes, you can always use party casino research to understand how you can win elsewhere – right?

3. Rihanna
Pretty much every sane girl in the world would agree that Rihanna is one of the hottest females ever. She appears to have it all. The looks, talent, money, men (well…), lifestyle, friends. So thank you Rihanna, we officially want to be you right about now.

2. Blake Lively
Blake, the tall, beautiful Gossip Girl star has since moved on from teen dramas and married the equally beautiful Ryan Reynolds. With legs up to her armpits, the most lusted after hair in the business and a wardrobe full of clothes that merely highlight how goddamn hot she is, Blake, we applaud and really want to be you.

1. Beyoncé 
Come on, you had to have known that Beyoncé  would be our number one. It’s Beyoncé for gods sake. A stellar career, the most amazing figure on the planet, riches and an ability to rock a leotard like nobody else, there isn’t much to do apart from just look on in wonder.

On a long-haul flight a couple of months ago, I was scrolling through the TV shows on offer when I came across the Holy Grail: every series of Sex and the City. Ever.

I proceeded to spend the next 12 hours in a haze of Manolo Blahniks, Cosmopolitans and never-ending brunches. It was the best flight I’ve had in a long time, even though I was seated next to someone’s cranky baby and a snoring man. I didn’t care – I had Carrie, Miranda, Samantha and Charlotte.

But even though I still laughed at the girls’ antics (and still questioned Carrie’s bizarre outfit choices), some of the plot lines just didn’t ring true for me anymore. In fact, ten years on from the show’s finale, it all seemed a little dated.

No longer is it the height of indecency to discuss sex with your friends, or to go for exactly what you want in the bedroom or at work. Many of the things that made Sex and the City so risqué are now just a part of every woman’s normal life.

HBO has since moved on to a more current viewpoint with Girls, which is certainly a more relevant show for any Millennial. There’s no high fashion, Vogue, or power suits – the Girls girl has a realistic body shape, reads Jezebel and Gawker, and drinks beer, not cocktails. It might not be a glamorous outlook on life, but it’s certainly closer to what most twenty-somethings go through every day.

Despite all of this, there is still something that draws me back to Sex and the City every time.

One thing that SATC has in spades is strong female friendships. The SATC girls were there for each other through it all – bad one-night stands, breakups, fertility problems and even cancer. Sure, there was the odd tense moment, but what female friendship doesn’t have those?

In contrast, Hannah, Marnie, Shoshanna and Jessa are always slightly detached and distant from each other, never really bothering to fight one another’s corner. I know I’d much rather subscribe to the SATC model of friendship than to say, as Hannah Hobart does, “I’m not interested in anything [my friends] have to say. That’s not the point of friendship.” Ouch.

Girls might portray life as it is lived by most 18 – 25 year olds these days, but perhaps it’s a little too close to home? I love the sharp wit and relatable role models, but when I need a pick-me-up, I’ll still turn to Carrie and co.

You thought it would be like Sex and the City. You thought you and your group would be the new Cosmo-drinking gals in town. But no. Being single isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. When you have just come out of a relationship, you feel free, but after a while you start to get lonely. It gradually starts to take its toll and you suddenly feel like you want to be a relationship again for some strange reason. Here is the ugly truth about being single.

1. Your expectations are way too high
You think that you’re going to meet the perfect person someday and you just haven’t found them. Nobody’s perfect, so it’s unrealistic to think that somewhere out there, there is that perfect person just for you. They have to tick all the right boxes, but sooner of later you’ll find we all have flaws and that’s what makes us human.

2. You would rather have a night in then go out socialising
It’s gotten to the stage where you don’t even really bother anymore. Too often you decided to spend a night in by yourself watching tv rather then going out and being with your friends. It’s always a great chance to meet new people and even if it’s just with your friends its better than being home alone.

3. Being jealous of all your friends in relationships
It started out with one of your friends being in a relationship and before you knew it most of your friends seem to have a boyfriend or girlfriend. You are happy for them at first, but soon they make you realise that you really need to be in a relationship.

4. You have accounts on nearly every dating website, but never use them
So you said you were going to really apply yourself and find someone online, but you have an account on Match.com, Tinder and  Elite Singles and you’ve used them once and then completely gave up on them after meeting some serious creeps online.

5. You tend to overthink interactions with people you like
So you’re talking to someone you like and there being really receptive, you think that they’re  into you. Odds are that they are just being nice and are like that to most people. You come away from the situation feeling like  this is the start of something.

 

6. You still believe you will meet the right person on Tinder
It is definitely not the app that you will help you find the right person, you could have similar interest, but very few people actually have a meaningful relationship from tinder. There is a reason you have heard so many horror stories about Tinder dates.

7. You always cry when you watch romantic comedies
They really are fairy tales and if dating was like what it is in romantic comedies, then we would all be in a relationship. Everyone knows how they end, so it makes it that much harder for you to watch them.

8. When you hear a love song on the radio you die a little inside
Just when you’re actually thinking about something else other than how single you are, you hear a song on the radio that brings up all the bad memories of your last relationship. It’s even worse when it’s that song that you and your ex used to listen to.

9. Your phone seems to have more battery
When you’re in a relationship with someone, you’re constantly texting them and seeing how they are doing. When you’re single you realise that you don’t  get as much texts as you used to. It is kind of a pro, having more battery, but you do miss those texts you used to get at the end of the day.

10. You always end up being the third wheel
You try to get out of it, but sometimes you want to meet up with your friend and they conveniently bring their significant other with them. You say you don’t mind, but really you just want to hang out with your friend and not see them always kissing each other.

11. You spontaneously decide to get a cat
It doesn’t necessarily have to be a cat, it could be a dog, but you need some companion to have around the house. You wonder why you only decided to get one now, but for some reason it just felt right. Deep down, it’s because they’re the closest thing you have to having a boyfriend or girlfriend.

12.  You start to develop bad eating habits
You don’t really care about what you eat, because there is no one there to judge you about your food choice. You order takeaway often because it’s more convenient. You used to cook for two, but now it’s always just you, a Chinese and a glass of wine.

13. You let yourself go
Being single means you are your own person and have no responsibility to act a certain way. You don’t seem to care as much and you find yourself filling out a bit. You might not notice at first, but eventually you realise you’ve got to start working out again.

14. Wearing sweatpants any chance you can
You get home and the first thing you do is change out of your clothes and get into sweatpants or whatever rags you wear at home. When you had a significant other you would dress up when you knew you were going to see them, now you have no obligation to do so.

15. You have actually taken dating advice from your mother
Your mother even recognises that you have been single for too long and tries to give you some advice. You actually listen to them for once, and think it’s good advice until you realise that no one sends letters anymore.

16. You don’t leave the house on Valentine's Day
It’s not so much that you are sick of all the ads on TV or the cards, it’s the fact that it actually makes you realize how single you are. You remember how last year you had a romantic dinner, and now it’s just you by yourself drowing your sorrows.

17. You have actually considered getting back with your ex
Through it all, you have actually considered getting back with your ex. Even after all the shit you went through with them and how much of an asshole they were. You will really just do anything to be in a relationship again.

First we had the #nomakeupselfie, now it's the #makeuptransformation trend that has hit Instagram in all it's trending amazement.

If you haven’t already heard of it, we will assume you were trekking through the Amazon, otherwise you are simply a lost cause…

But it’s not just us ladies who seeking to transform ourselves into our favourite celebs – men have gotten in on the trend, with obvious hilarious results.

Not only are they transforming themselves, they are also providing much needed tutorials.

It’s actually pretty good!

With the uncanny resemblance, our favourite has to be Kris Jenner although Mr Bean is coming in a very close second.

Zosia Mamet, one of the stars of the hit HBO series Girls, has revealed that she “nearly died” from an eating disorder in her teens.

Her issues started very young, when at eight-years-old someone told her she was fat.

“I’m not fat; I’ve never been fat.” Zosia says. “But ever since then, there has been a monster in my brain that tells me I am – that convinces me my clothes don’t fit or that I’ve eaten too much.”

Her obsession with weight and appearance reached their peak in her teens, as the disorder took over her life.

Zosia unflinchingly details how bad things had become: “ As a teenager I used to stand in front of the refrigerator late at night star­ing into that white fluorescent light, debilitated by the war raging inside me: whether to give in to the pitted hunger in my stomach or close the door and go back to bed,”

“I would stand there for hours, opening and closing the door, taking out a piece of food then putting it back in; taking it out, putting it in my mouth, and then spitting it into the garbage. I was only 17, living in misery, waiting to die.”

It was Zosia’s father, award winning playwright David Mamet who intervened and got her into treatment, saving her life.

He came home one night from a party, took me by the shoulders, and said, ‘You’re not allowed to die.”

This was a wake up call for Zosia. “It was the first time I realised this wasn’t all about me. I didn’t care if I died, but my family did.”

“That’s the thing about these kinds of disorders: They’re consuming; they make you egocentric; they’re all you can see.”

Today Zosia feels she has come to terms with her past issues and is now happy at a healthy weight.

 “It may never disappear completely”, she says, “but hopefully one day it’ll be so quiet, it’ll only be a whisper and I’ll wonder, ‘Was that just the wind?’

If only there was a guide to being a woman.  A list of things that every modern, 21st century girl should know how to do, no questions asked, no second thoughts. Well ask no more ladies, for here it is. Go forth and conquer.

1. How To Walk In Heels

There are two types of women in this world. Those who live in heels and those who look on them with a mixture of fear and loathing. That said, being able to swag a little in heels is something that every woman should learn how to do. You’ll never know when it could come in handy…

2. How To Stop Street Harassment

Even in the modern, equal values world of today, there are many, many men who feel that openly harassing women on the street is acceptable. So the next time it happens to you, stop and turn the tables on them. “Nice arse sweetheart”, should do nicely.

3. How To Embrace Your Natural Self

Yes, make-up is great. It helps to embrace and highlight what God has given us. It makes us photo ready and fabulous (in our eyes) However, far too many women are far too dependent on make-up and need to learn to go. Wear less make-up more often!

4. How To Control Your Hormones

If you turn into an axe wielding maniac once a month, then perhaps now is the time to learn to control that anger. Easier said than done, yes, but simple things like running and eating well can all help to control it. It’s worth a little time investment.

5. How To Out-Wit Any Man

Being witty, smart, sharp and sarcastic is a skill that every woman should possess. 

6. How To Drive

Never depend on someone else to drive you around. It’s not even about owning your own car, even though that is clearly something we all want, but just knowing how to get yourself or anyone for that matter, from A-B, is an underrated skill at best.

7. How To Dress Appropriately

For any occasion. Buy a smart dress, blazer, tailored trousers and decent shoes and you’ll have pretty much covered all basis. Just never, ever attend a funeral in sequins. Ever.

8. How To Live Healthily

Learn how to cook an egg, wash some lettuce and go for a jog every once in a blue moon and you’re half way there sunshine. Just remember that McDonald's and the couch does not a healthy body make.

9. How To Be Independent

No woman out there should ever utter that she ‘needs’ a man. Don’t get me wrong, men are great and all but technically, the only thing we need men for is reproducing. What you need, is to learn to do things for yourself. Even if it’s something as simple as eating by yourself, do it.

10. How To Shop In A Pharmacy

You all know what I’m talking about here. You don’t have time to pop into the giant sized Boots in town, so instead you pop into your local pharmacy for all of your tampon/ contraceptive/ hairy needs. But instead of buying exactly what it is you need, you load up on hair clips, nail varnish and band aids, as if, somehow, it’s going to distract from all of the other stuff. It won’t.

11. How To Cut Bad Influences From Your Life

This can take the form of bad habits such as smoking, excess drinking or drug use, or people who are negatively influencing your life. 

12. How To D.I.Y.

Pick up that toolbox and get to grips with the hammer and nails. No, that was not a metaphor for anything dirty, in case that was what you were thinking. We're talking about learning how to put up a shelf, hang a picture, fix that broken shower curtain. Rock that tool belt girl.

13. How To Get What You Really Want

Whether it’s getting that promotion or getting the object of your affections, you must learn how to get exactly what you want in this life, by whatever means necessary. To do so with respect, manners and the acceptable measure of force, is something that every woman should learn how to do. Without question.

14. How To Not Sweat The Small Stuff

Obviously, there are things you should most definitely care about. Your health, your family, your career. Things that you should not give a shit about include, caring what people think of you, cellulite, drunk texting your ex, not wanting to settle for the first man that comes along, being single and happy or being loved up and happy. Let the haters hate and you’ll be so much happier in your own skin. Promise.

You’ve wanted a boyfriend for ages, you’ve fancied this guy for months but as soon as he acts like he genuinely likes you, you realise you’re just not that into him…oops. 

cheryl-piss-off-gifz6zwg

Here are the signs that you were in it for the chase and you are sooooo not that into him:

1. His hand feels dirty holding yours and you immediately want to wash after holding hands for more than 5 minutes

2. After doing ‘the deed’ all you can think about is how sweaty he feels

3. His clothes annoy you

4. His texts ending in xxxx kind of make you feel sick

5. He texts all the time – You feel nothing

6. You feel like he’s smothering you

7. When he snores you use it as an excuse to kick him really hard

8. You couldn’t care less about what you eat in front of him

9. The granny pants are out and you really don’t care

10. Girls night is far more fun than date night

11. You pray for rugby weekends so you don’t have to spend time with him

12. You chat to other guys, keeping a few interested

13. You shave your legs for girl’s night only

14. You embarrass him in front of his mates without guilt

15. You cut your toenails in front of him

16. You fart in front of him as if he isn’t there never excusing yourself

17. You refuse to share anything you’re eating with him. It’s your’s

18. You make sure your ‘needs’ are met. His are irrelevant. Sure he can do that himself in his own time

19. You’ve your eyes out for something better

20. His jokes are not in any way funny anymore

 

21. The way he eats, drinks and breathes drives you insane

22. The way he bites his nails makes you want to slap him

There are some little, itty bitty white lies that are essential to the survival of every relationship. If you value your other half, you will learn the correct answers to those difficult questions. Sometimes, honesty is not the best policy:

1. “No, you do not look fat in that.”

Boys get insecure too, and if he asks you if he's looking husky, don't think he will take it any better than you would yourself. 

2. “What’s my type? You, of course.”

Actually, our type is a combination of Ryan Gosling and Colin Farrell but we love you anyway. Honest.

3. “No, I don’t fancy any of your friends.”

Apart from the three hot ones. And the funny one isn't too bad either.

4. “Of course I’d prefer a night in over a girls night.”

Of course there’s nothing we'd rather do than spend five hours getting glam, followed by six hours of gossiping, bitching and laughing but it’s not worth the sulking you’re inevitably going to do if we go.

5. “Yes I totally remembered our anniversary.”

Yes, Facebook did remind us that today is our anniversary.

6. “I did notice your new hairstyle.”

Noooo, of course you're not receding, darling! 

7. “You’re the best sex I’ve ever had.”

Yup, the best….

8. “It’s that time of the month.”

Zzzz..

9. “My parents love you.”

Apart from Dad…and mum too actually. 

10. “I’m totally cool with you having friends of the opposite sex.”

We want to be cool with it all. It’s just that all of your opposite sex friends are hot, intimidating and just generally, we hate them.

11. “Size isn’t everything.”

It's not everything, but it's not nothing either, y'know?

There are some things that only single girls will get. It's a different world out there, you guys:

1. Grooming Is An Option Not A Necessity

So you haven’t bought a packet of razors since June 2013 and your legs are crying out to be mowed? Meh. Maybe later. Who’ll see them anyway?

2. Periods Are An Inconvenience Not A Reassurance

Ok so they’re never exactly welcomed with opened arms and a hug, but when you’re loved up, the pain is somewhat masked by the overwhelming relief if you're not trying. Whereas when you’ve been sleeping with nobody except your onesie, they just serve to remind you that being a girl is a painful inconvenience sometimes.

3. Fat Days Are Our Equivalent Of Dates

Whilst our love struck sisters are prepping themselves for another sexy Saturday night of flirting and fun, we’ll be prepping ourselves for a fat pants, make-up free, dominoes filled, laptop marathon.

4. Valentine's Day Needs To Feck Off

A day celebrating love is never going to be our thing. Honestly, it’s like being starved for two months and then being brought shopping in a sweet shop with a strict no taste policy.

5. Friends Insist On Setting You Up

Someone always knows a man that’d be just ‘perfect’ for you. You’ve since learned however, that someone else’s idea of perfect is pretty much your idea of hell, all encased into one awkward, drunk man form. No matter how many times you tell your friends that you are in fact happy to be single, they will still insist on setting you up with the most inappropriate, unattractive males they can find. Just grin and bare it.

6. Your Girlfriends Are Everything

With no male distractions, your female friends will be your everything. Sadly, we’ve all lost friends to the boyfriend curse, so treasure the single ones now, before they disappear forever. Who else could you wear a face mask, pluck your eyebrows and fart in front of, after all.

7. Over-Analyzing Texts Is Totally Normal

Most single girls have a man or two on text tap. It keeps the severe boredom from setting in on those long winter nights. It’s all a clever and cunning mind war, where the time between texts is the name of the game and exclamation marks, combined with x’s means one thing and one thing only. Possible future action.

8. Every Event Is A Pulling Opportunity

As a single lady, you may treat every outing as a pulling mission. You may as well. Play the field while you’re still fit and able. That said, there are some nights when all you’ll feel like doing is drinking cheap cocktails and dancing your little heart out with your best girlfriends and that’s more than okay too.

9. The Sight Of  Couples Holiday Pictures Makes You Gag

It’s not that we’re bitter, it’s just that if we have to scroll through Facebook one more time and witness ‘Joanne’ add another 45 pictures to the album ‘Summer Hols 2014,’ we may scream. Not because her holiday looks amazing you see, more the fact the Joanne’s album consists of varying shots of her, then her boyfriend, then her, then her boyfriend, then, well, you get the point. She must be stopped.

10. Befriending Men Is Seen As An Agenda

As a single girl, merely holding a conversation a man, can be seen as something much more. Every man must automatically presume that you’re up for it, that you’re flirting and fancy the pants off him when really, all you want to know is how many single friends he has. That and some platonic, male advice on males.
