The catwalks were drenched in pastels!

Aubaine at Selfridges today were also bang on trend!!

Go blue on your fingers too!

Avoid ultra-girlie candy shades all over and be subtle. The Silk Padded Bra with fixed bow and matching knicker is a nice take on the trend and great teamed with a sheer shirt with jeans.

Beautiful Babes

Totally 100% in love with this swimming costume. 

Imagine the tan lines with the baby!

 We want to be on a boat....  we want to be them. Beautiful Bottoms!!

New Forest

Herb House Spa

I was lucky enough to spend the weekend at Lime Wood Hotel in the New Forest.  The Herb House Spa (at Lime Wood), with its unique forest setting makes it a place of total calmness. The Bamford Holistic therapies are unbelievable!!

Everything about Lime Wood was utterly breathtaking! I thought I would share our love for all things beautiful with a couple of pictures below…

The Forest

I had never been to the New Forest before and honestly was blown away at how magnificent it was. The forest had a magical feeling with miles of ancient woodland and the iconic wild ponies roaming free. I was in heaven!! Below are some pictures of the enchanted woodland which have totally inspired me! L XX

Emma-Louise

Heres a lovely song for the weekend. We are loving her beautiful ethereal voice. XX

BIG BOTTOMS - NOT BIG BOOBS! which are you!?

'Forget boobs, this summer's all about the Butt, says Laura Atkinson from The Sunday Times Style.

As I religiously do on all Sundays, I snuggled up early in bed and read over The Style, and came across this rather apt article for Beautiful Bottoms.

Apparently fashions are changing and bigger bottoms are the in thing! 'Forget the old 'Does my bum look big in this?' All these girls want to know now is 'Does my bum look big ENOUGH in this?' As someone with, not the smallest bottom in the world... this can only be good news for me. (and I suspect for some of you!)

No longer about padded bras (we knew this already - and are huge fans of soft cup bras) there is no need to up and out those boobs - no need to enhance the female form pushing and pulling them. They look nice as they are, our soft silk Front Tie Bras give enough support, without making them at all uncomfortable, perfect for those with a smaller chest. Nope.... now its about the bottom padding. We however do not yet offer 'padded pants' but who knows in the future perhaps the demand will be so great that we will!

According to the article, 'the whole of Essex is putting aside pennies for a bum job.' OUCH!! Apparently the healing process here is tricky.. of course it is - you can't sit down. For TWO months says plastic surgeon Dr Michael Prager.

'Cheeks peaks' are you brave enough for this... I'm not quite there yet!

So why the sudden change in heart? Why the focus on the bottom... perhaps girls have finally cottoned on to the fact that there are men who are boobs men, and men who are bottoms men! Tom from East London, 28, admits he no longer looks at a girls chest, he goes straight to check out their derrière! So perhaps we should be paying this more attention.

However, if like me, after reading this article you are not thinking... 'right ill start saving for a bottom lift' you may just want to pay your precious behind a little more attention. Depending on your shape, different knickers can be flattering. Some girls love a thong, others a fuller knicker, Beautiful Bottoms short thong is a sweet alternative to a hugging tight thong, the silk skirt skims your butt beautifully making even the smallest of bottoms look delectable.

Nicki Minaj, Frankie from the Saturdays, Kim Kardashian and Rihanna are all sporting

 the big butts fashion perfectly - take note ladies!
