As her new film Snow White and The Hunstman had a star-studded premiere in London, Kristen Stewart showed she is clearly on a mission to escape her schoolgirl Twilight image. Talk about high-impact glamour! We can’t imagine Bella Swann in something as sophisticated as this. However, Very can reveal that Kristen’s real-life boyfriend and on-screen Vampire partner Robert Pattinson did not want to be seen on the red carpet. This is definitely another sign she doesn’t want to continue the association with Twilight. Robert was there as Very spotted him in the cinema eating popcorn, but he must have gone in a…]]> http://blog.very.co.uk/2012/05/interview-and-photos-snow-white-and-the-huntsman/feed/ 0 http://blog.very.co.uk/2012/05/win-pippa-modalu-bag/ http://blog.very.co.uk/2012/05/win-pippa-modalu-bag/#comments Tue, 15 May 2012 15:32:45 +0000 Editor_Danielle http://blog.very.co.uk/?p=30170

The votes are in and a record has been set – a dancing dog has won Britain’s Got Talent. This must make the clever pooch called Pudsey one of the wealthiest dogs in the world as he won a prize of £500,000.Let’s hope his owner Ashleigh gets him a few doggy treats! Very can also reveal that Simon Cowell was a big winner on the night as the two and a half hour marathon episode drew in a massive 13.8 million viewers at its peak. It only got 9 million last year so it’s a further ego boost to Simon…]]> http://blog.very.co.uk/2012/05/britains-got-talent-final-winners-news-and-gossip/feed/ 0 http://blog.very.co.uk/2012/05/the-perfect-fake-tan/ http://blog.very.co.uk/2012/05/the-perfect-fake-tan/#comments Sun, 13 May 2012 09:00:11 +0000 Suzi Tse http://blog.very.co.uk/?p=30193

Winter coats and tights packed away, it’s that time of the year again were most of your body makes a reappearance. If your not lucky enough to get a natural tan, then follow my tips and fake it. First of all, decide which type of tan you want to use. Tan’s now come in all different formulas, lotions, creams, mousse, spray’s and even wash off tans. I personally prefer lotions and mousse’s because they are easier to apply but if I am in a rush, I always reach for the wash off tan. Second, you need to decide which shade…]]> http://blog.very.co.uk/2012/05/the-perfect-fake-tan/feed/ 1 http://blog.very.co.uk/2012/05/festival-survival-items/ http://blog.very.co.uk/2012/05/festival-survival-items/#comments Fri, 11 May 2012 13:37:37 +0000 Suzi Tse http://blog.very.co.uk/?p=30164

Whilst we still can’t decide whether the Spring/ Summer weather will ever come, festival season is certainly upon us. But fear not we have tips on what to wear come rain or shine. A Parka Jacket is a festival must have. It looks effortlessly cool, keeps you warm when it gets chilly and protects you from the rain. Its the next best thing after a rain coat. I would personally go for a classic khaki coloured one like this South Summer Parka. If the weather permits, go for a lighter option to lift the mood like this G-Star RAW Light…]]> http://blog.very.co.uk/2012/05/festival-survival-items/feed/ 1 http://blog.very.co.uk/2012/05/win-100-models-own-nail-polishes/ http://blog.very.co.uk/2012/05/win-100-models-own-nail-polishes/#comments Thu, 10 May 2012 15:56:42 +0000 Editor_Danielle http://blog.very.co.uk/?p=30189

How would you like to WIN 100 Models Own nail polishes?  Yes, you’ve read it right, I’m not giving away 1 each to 100 winners.  YOU could win 100 all to yourself.  I soooooo wish I could enter this competition myself! Every day in our office, Katie and I admire eachothers nails as we’re into nail varnish BIG TIME.  I love painting my little niece’s nails (she’s 3 in 2 weeks, bless her) as she always asks to have them done like ‘Auntie Danielle’s’. We sell 25 different Models Own products.  Today I’ve got this one on, the Models Own Shimmer…]]> http://blog.very.co.uk/2012/05/win-100-models-own-nail-polishes/feed/ 1242 http://blog.very.co.uk/2012/05/celeb-style-steal-from-the-met-allic-costume-institute-gala-2012/ http://blog.very.co.uk/2012/05/celeb-style-steal-from-the-met-allic-costume-institute-gala-2012/#comments Wed, 09 May 2012 16:02:39 +0000 Editor_Danielle http://blog.very.co.uk/?p=30156

Some say that the Met Gala has become the fashion Oscars as it’s one of the biggest nights in fashion.  It’s also the opening night of the annual fashion exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, with lots of A-list celebs showing off their red-carpet creations. The theme this year was Schiaparelli and Prada: Impossible Conversations.  Shimmery metallics was a trend worn by many — with Jessica Alba, Lana Del Rey, Sofia Vergara and Leighton Meester and many more stepping out in their gorgeous dresses sporting one of this season’s most popular trends. I’ve been looking through some of Very’s metallic and…]]> http://blog.very.co.uk/2012/05/celeb-style-steal-from-the-met-allic-costume-institute-gala-2012/feed/ 0 http://blog.very.co.uk/2012/05/the-voice-live-shows-team-jessie-and-team-danny-update/ http://blog.very.co.uk/2012/05/the-voice-live-shows-team-jessie-and-team-danny-update/#comments Tue, 08 May 2012 12:05:38 +0000 Zoe Griffin http://blog.very.co.uk/?p=30135

Jessie J and Danny O’Donoghue were both forced to wave goodbye to one of their contestants this week, bringing the number of finalists down to 16. And while there’s some criticism over the live shows not being as entertaining as the blind auditions, BBC One is still managing to attract 8 million viewers. For the singers competing in the show, it beats performing in their local pub. Backstage there were tears as Jessie’s act Ruth-Ann St Luce and Danny’s cheerleader Hannah Berney left the show, and sighs of relief for the remaining talented vocalists that are still in the competition…]]> http://blog.very.co.uk/2012/05/the-voice-live-shows-team-jessie-and-team-danny-update/feed/ 0
