Model and presenter Nell McAndrew takes the simple approach to fashion fitness.
The first trailblazing Brit to pose on the cover of Playboy, as well as being the face and body of computer game heroine Lara Croft, Nell McAndrew knows a thing or two about the power of style and image. These days, having successfully transcended the space between lingerie model and fitness guru, the 38-year-old likes to keep it low-key and sporty. “I usually stick with something that’s simple, but that still makes me feel fantastic,” Nell explains, trying to keep six-year-old Devon occupied in the background. “It’s all about comfort, and fabrics that really work for exercise. I think less these days about my ‘style’, if you want to call…

Duchess Kate and Jessica Ennis bring glamour to the Sports Personality Awards
The Sports personality of the year awards are always a clear sign that it is nearly Christmas, and this year the ceremony was more exciting than ever. As well as having so many candidates deserving of winning the title after the greatest sporting year for Britain in living memory, the ceremony also heralded the first public engagement for the Duchess of Cambridge after her recent stay in hospital. Kate looked incredibly elegant and glossy in an emerald-green, v necked gown from Alexander McQueen that had a rather sexy front split detail. The slightly puffed sleeves, fitted Cumberband style waistband and long skirt were demure, and the colour, emerald-green, has been…

Blog Takeover – Fashion Mr Speaks
When I was offered the opportunity to take over Emma’s blog, I was a little bit skeptical. I mean, don’t get me wrong, I like my clothes as much as anyone else, but writing about them? That was something outside my remit. But then Em explained that this was a special project looking to test out whether lucky charms really do work, and that I would be given some lucky charms (cereal as it turned out), as well as a few other gifts, such as cufflinks and DVDs to test out. Now, I don’t mind admitting that I am slightly superstitious. I always salute magpies (I for sorrow and all…

Reviewed – Heat Holders – A total wonder sock!
I have discovered my first Christmas stocking filler that I am going to get for all the men in my life (hubby, dad, brother etc for those who were beginning to wonder..). This is a product that is both practical and affordable, but feels like one of life’s little luxuries. Let me introduce you to the Heat Holders socks. Heat Holders have been marketed as the ultimate thermal sock. With a tog rating of 2.3, Heat Holders are almost twice as warm as normal thermal socks and claim to hold warm air close to the skin, keeping feet warmer for longer. Using my builder husband Peter as a guinea pig,…

A chat with Stacey Solomon at Birmingham Skyride
The Skyride hit the city of Birmingham last week in super style. Over 20,000 cyclists turned out to take part in this fab event, and they were rewarded with dry weather, some amazing BMX stunt riding, the chance to see an Olympic gold medal courtesy of the wonderful Laura Trott, and also the opportunity to meet the very lovely Stacey Solomon. I was very pleased to have the chance to meet Stacey and ask her some questions. She was super blonde, super tanned and super gorgeous (jealous much…). She was also very bubbly and friendly – just like her TV persona always shows. She had just completed a mammoth autograph…
