Ladies Day at Aintree


The ladies gathered at Aintree today ahead of tomorrow's Grand National & the race course was in a flurry of fake tan as well as brightly coloured chiffon & fascinators to Jimmy Choos as glamorous girlies turned up in their thousands to celebrate the Grand National Festival's Ladies Day! One of the most famous attendees was Coleen Rooney who showed up in a Roberto Cavalli maxi-dress, speculation has been building over the last week on whether Mrs Rooney is pregnant & her light chiffon dress showing a slight baby bump this afternoon has only added fuel to the gossip fire!
Many attendees are there in the hope of being spotted as part of the Style 2009 competition to become 2009's most fashionable man or woman. A catwalk will be held in front of judges today including Coleen herself as well as Nikki Hambleton-Jones, Jeff Banks & Sheree Murphy, the winner will receive some amazing prizes including a car & a Caribbean holiday as well as starring in Matalan's new fashion campaign.
Some of the efforts were pretty gaudy & a tad OTT to say the least but that is only to be expected & certainly adds to an already colourful event!!! A collection of some great contenders for Style 2009 as well as some the great fashion disasters are pictured below, we'll leave it up to to decide who falls into either category!

Ready for UK Launch - Jergens Naturals


Jergens Bodycare's groundbreaking solutions for firm, smooth, glowing & deeply hydrated skin is now known worldwide as well as being a favourite with the Hollywood elite!! Now available in the UK, America's No1 best selling bodycare range is launched here as Jergens Naturals, this is the first natural moisturising range launched to deliver premium results through natural ingredients, Jergens have developed natural formulations with the finest plant derived ingredients available & as they say 'Our skin is not synthetic so why treat it that way?'
Ruby Hammer, international make-up artist, has been using the products for many years on clients & top celebrities alike & loves the excellent moisturising qualities of the body care range, she says of the new Naturals range 'I now have a clear conscience knowing I am not putting synthetic chemicals onto my clients or my own skin, but still getting the results associated with Jergens'
Over the last week I have been trying out 3 of moisturisers available in the range... Firstly 'Extra Softening', which calms the skin & with rich emollients & vitamin packed moisturisers it softens immediately, it also contains Shea Butter to protect & revitalise the skin, Yogurt to balance the ph levels & Soy Extract which contains Vitamin E for healthy skin. The scent is very subtle & pleasant & it is absorbed quickly into the skin. Straight away after using this my skin felt beautifully soft & smooth! The 'Skin Firming' with Pomegranate visibly moisturises & firms cellulite prone skin in just two uses...! Pomegranate is a powerful antioxidant which helps to eliminate free radicals, Aloe is also known for it firming properties & White Tea also is rich in anti-oxidants which fight inflammation. There was a noticeable difference with my skin after it's use, particularly on my upper thighs where it feels definitely much smoother & firmer, also the cream smells good enough to eat!!! Definitely a perfect quick fix for your bikini-bod this summer!!
Their 'Age Defying' lotion promotes younger skin in just 2 weeks - not bad at all! The formula awakens mature skin & with a blend of ingredients such as Green Tea which contains antioxidants to combat skin damaging elements, Mint Leaf Extract to protect the skin & Sage to stimulate the blood circulation & help tighten skin.
Over all an excellent range that has fantastic & quick results on the skin, also with the added bonus of being completely natural & environmentally friendly - as they say themselves, 'The Future of Bodycare'!
