Loving Lashes

These may well be the coolest thing since sliced bread! Fresh from the ancient art of Chinese paper-cutting come these heavenly eyelashes.They come in five designs, representing different Chinese symbols; peach blossom for love, horses for success and peonies for happiness.Smaller versions are available for a more subtle daytime look, although believe me, this is not a look for the shrinking voilet. They're fierce! Purchase a pair before your friends do, and I dare you to dress your bridesmaids in them. Only £12 a pair from Luna & Curious.

Beautcamp Brides & Grooms

It's the New Year, so everyone and their dog has an excercise resolution, and none more than the bride and groom planning a summer wedding. The countdown has begun, and if you're planning to shed a couple of pounds before the final suit and dress fitting, then you'll be wanting to get started. Here are a few recommendations.....

If you live in London, then look no further than Beautcamp Pilates. Straight from LA, the latest fitness craze promises a Hollywood body, thanks to its revolutionary technique incorporating the famous Systeme Dinamique (nope, me either). It's hard work, but they swear you'll have a new body within ten sessions, and that's the type of promise I like!

If you don't mind someone shouting at you, then try British Military Fitness. Whatever your level, they'll get you enrolled on an outdoor class run by serving or former members of the armed forces with recognised fitness training qualifications. They promise to motivate you back into fitness, and they even offer a free first class.

If you're more of the independent type, then try I Am SuperChick (admittedly more for the girls!). They offer women online personal training programmes, guaranteed to fit around your lifestyle, while their virtual locker-room will help you count calories and track your progress. If you have a weakness for mid-afternoon treats - this site will keep you trim.
