If you’re a fan of fake tan you probably won’t be scouting for a pair of white tights this Autumn. You’ll more than likely be busy lashing on Rimmel Sun Shimmer, leaving orange stains on your clothes and smelling faintly of stale bread

So if you are going to apply fake tan, make sure you do it right. It goes without saying the orange oompa-loompa or tanorexic looks are a major no-no.

I must admit it’s taken me sometime to warm to Christine Bleakley, presenter of BBC’s The One Show. Over the past couple of months I’ve come to really like the Northern Irish beauty for her genuine presence on the small screen but there’s always been one thing I’ve loved about her – her glowing, healthy looking skin!
Turns out she’s had some help in that department and her perfect glow is thanks to the He-Shi’s range of tanning products. He-Shi’s products are perfect for Irish skin tones, and are easy to apply and can be used to build up varying levels of colour, from a natural golden shade to a darker tan option for more sallow complexions like Christine’s.

As much as a picture speaks a thousand words, your handbag says more about your personality than any other single item of clothing you’ll wear. So finding that special bag, the one that’ll become your ‘go-to’ bag season after season can be a tough task.
When I laid eyes on the scrumptiously stylish Louloubelle bag collection, recently launched by accessory designer Louise O’Leary, I knew they were going to make many a bag-lover very happy. Not too many mind you – each bag is one of just a hundred limited edition pieces individually identifiable by it’s production number.

Paris may be considered the city of love but, romance aside, it can be paradise for shoppers too. I was lucky enough to live and work in the city. When friends flew over to visit, they inevitably wanted to gather up some Parisian chic and bring it back to show off at home. I developed a little treasure-trail of fashion fancies and cute bijoux boutiques which never failed to please. Here’s my tried-and-tested guide to shopping (to keep Irish visitors happy!) in Paris.
If you’ve any suggestions for shopping, food or whatever please let us know and we’ll add it.
The Marais
The vibrantly-gay Marais area of Paris naturally features numerous upscale boutiques but avoid the neon stores and go for old-world charm instead and you’re in for a treat. Maverick retailers stock quality vintage-wear and bespoke jewellery galore. Get lost and find a bargain! Scoff some falafel if you get peckish – it’s also the Jewish quarter.
DOM Christian Koban (21 Rue Sainte Croix la Bretonnerie)
What is probably best described as a more edgy Urban Outfitters, DOM sell everything from rubber raincoats to uber-funky furniture. They stock a range of clothes and jewellery and tend to have a small but adorable selection of both men’s and women’s-wear with really great price tags. Last time I was there, I left with 2 pairs of jeans, a scarf and a jumper with change from €100.
