Adele rocks the front cover of UK Vogue




We are so proud of Adele for turning her back on the media and not super-dieting down to a size nothing! The industry is full of narrow-minded *fashionistas* who seem to promote this size zero frame, to me, its actually really off-putting as man, and personally I think creates this distorted view of what beauty really should be.

Now, I am not saying that I am pro-obesity either, what I am saying is that I am pro HEALTHY LIVING. If you your BMI is classed as healthy according to your height/weight by your doctor then great. I think all shapes of women are beautiful, regardless of their form. Hourglass, rectangle, square - the woman's figure is something of beauty and should be embraced not rejected, starved of food and squeezed into child's sized jeans!

Adele, who's at the top of her game, and I think can only go on to become a super-star, graced last months cover of Vogue - and she is NOT a size zero, but represents the average UK size for a woman. You cannot understand how happy I am that high profile magazines are finally starting to come away from this idea that zero is beautiful and are now embracing true size girls.

This in turn filters down to the younger generation of girls and shows them, that they are beautiful. Karl Lagerfeld said last month "The thing at the moment is Adele. She is a little too fat, but she has a beautiful face and divine voice" I was so proud of her come back, which actually made him eat his words! saying, "Ive never wanted to look like the models on the cover of magazines" she told People Magazine, "I represent the majority of women and i'm very proud of that".

And that she should. Days after winning a handful of awards, she sports the front cover of Vogue...and Adele along with the rest of the nation can stick their two fingers up to Karl!

GO ON GIRL!

Behind the scenes of Cheryl Cole's new video "Call My Name"


If you are anything like we are, and we think you are, then you'll be as excited to see images back stage of Cheryl Cole's new video "Call my name". We just love a bit of behind the scenes action...away from all the make up and the lights, the glitz and glamour - it's amazing.

Cheryl looks amazing in the 2 outfits that we have seen so far, and her skin is something to die for, not to mention her hair, all thanks to L'oreal - which by the way, really is a girls best friend!

Now, her last song, fight for this love, was OK - the outfits were a little odd, although  that pilot-type cap was amazing. My best friend bought a sailor boy cap, and by god she rocks it.

I love Cheryl's choice of outfit, or rather maybe the stylists, but the floral blazer, teamed with leopard print  pants and neon heels are a winner for us!

Her new song is rumoured to be a dance track, and is due to be aired first on Radio 1 on April 20th.

Check out the pics below, and let us know what you think?

Treat time!

Theres some amazing and wonderful things on the internet, and then theres some really weird things.

We've been laughing so hard in the office this week from some crazy pictures from foodonmydog.com.

The website features pictures of just that, different food on the owners dog!







Don't worry, we checked with the website and the dog is from a really loving home, and even better she gets to eat most of the treats that she poses for! Our favourite picture is the one with love hearts on her face, she looks so cute!

Or the pancake picture where she's licking her lips - yum yum!

Theres loads on the site, check it out!

Love Emi. x x x

Happy Sunday!

Love Emi.
