Working in this industry, I come across ladies on a daily basis with eyelash extensions and hair extensions, some look fantastic, but unfortunately most look poorly looked after or poorly applied.... Enter Instant Lashes and Locks - An incredibly talented and lovely mum and daughter team that have a beautiful relaxing salon in Tallebudgera Valley. So amongst the serene surroundings and a full education on how the extensions are applied, what they're made of and of course an after care sheet... voila 1 hour later (longer than usual because apparently I have an excessive amount of lashes) I woke up to the fullest and longest pair of lashes i've ever seen that took my breath away. Incredibly priced and excellent quality - you won't want to miss out!!!!

Earlier this year at the Veve Swimwear launch, I met the fabulous Casey Evans.

We've all heard of the expression, "money can't buy class" and judging from the fashions worn by a number of our top celebs over the years this has become abundantly clear. But with the help of some incredibly talented stylists and of course personal growth, some of these celebs have come through the fog and are setting a new precedent in style and sophistication. One in particular is Nicole Richie, her early years were filled with multi-colored hair extensions and ongoing fashion faux pars (who can forget that hideous sheer bodysuit) but this Hollywood wild child turned boho princess and celeb mum has cemented a name for herself and has captured fashionistas worldwide with the launch of her accessory label House of Harlow 1960. Another is Victoria Beckham, this WAG went from unsightly fake tan, peroxide hair, skin tight and inappropriate clothing, not to mention those bubble breasts, Vic has fought through the torturous media to earn the respect of the fashion comm...
