TOWIE star Gemma Collins is desperate to be a size 12 by christmas

For all of you who have watched TOWIE, we first met Gemma Collins in the 2nd series when she was a size 24! I dunno if it was the fact she was around  a cast of size 8-12 girls or being rejected by Nick that gave her the kick up the butt she needed.

she started training at the end of the 2nd series and as you can see from the picture above she had no shame showing her size 24 body because she knew it would soon enough be her past. She proved us right when she left viewers and her co-stars in awe and shock, showing off her new figure and look. But the TOWIE star has said she has still got more weight to loose and wants to be a size 12 by christmas. She said it has been and continues to be hard but she is determined to be even slimmer come the festive season.  I think Gemma Collins is an inspiration to all women battling to loose weight and proves that surgery isnt the only option. Keep up the good work!

Metallics Trend 2011

Glisten in style with the latest trend for summer/autumn 2011 which is the metallic trend.  Clothing, handbags, shoes and accessories are sparkling and shining with the iridescent shades of gold,silver and sequins.  This summer you can outshine everybody else with your fashion forward taste.  Now is the time to show off your futuristic style by going full force with the metallic fashion trend.

The summer/autumn 2011 trends are leaning to the minimalist style and luxury.  The metallic trend combines both trends creating fashionable collections from famous designers.  Hollywood inspired outfit with jewel tones were used by Miu Miu in their runway collection.  Burberry Prorsum showcased metallic jackets, trench coats and dresses.  Armani Prive highlighted liquid metal pieces in rich colors of black, red and teal.  Elie Saab used pastel sequins to give the metallic trend a romantic twist.

Britain & Irelands Next Top Model

I am hooked to this show due to my interest in the fashion industry and my passion for modelling, every year you get the typical 'Model' girls and the girls that look so strange they take an amazing picture. But this year was different with the winner being a girl who is 'a one of a kind' Jade Thompson. This stunning girl hit ours screens in the auditions and stood out from the crowd due to her freckles and ginger hair. Along the way we met her lovely personality and seen that amazing figure that every girl would die for. she was a clear winner for me from the start.
