It looks good, it feels good and most importantly it does good. SUP'ing has swept the shore's of the global coastlines as quickly as a new colour trend sweeps the catwalk at fashion week.  Originating from Hawaii, paddle boarding has upgraded from an alternative to surfing on those non wavey days to one of the most popular full body workouts out there in the fitness world.  Combining fresh air, water and sun this workout on water encompasses enough of nature's wonders to blow any trip to the gym out the way....Whether you are taking a leisurely paddle on a lagoon or riding double overheads in the swells of Bali, SUP'ing is the new cupping and the trendiest of trends.  You can cruise and smooze with friends, compete with those foes and hang out with your bro's and or hoe's.  Tighten those buttocks whilst downward dogging on water - Jesus would be both jealous and proud, bronze that bod whilst floating around and strengthen that core whilst you sweep the salt

I am now a permanent resident of a place they call paradise.  It is controlled by the Tiki God's and ruled by me and my partner in crime, a dangerous little flower called Sophie Lily Kerr.  It is showered in fresh flower petals, and it's water source is a fast flowing river of fresh fruit cocktails.  The community is made up of Hunky alpha male's and beautifully cheeky Honey's who's mission is to elevate stress and inhibitions and inject a level of fun and inner freedom.  There is a King of this tropical town, he  is tall dark and stormy, he is vivavcious and totally fabulous and goes by the name of Mr Jolley.  Under his command, this paradise remains peaceful with a very naughty twist.  Dancing is not only encouraged but promoted by three little ladies who bend and snap better than Miss Wetherspoon in that scene from Legally Blonde... There are a handful of Prince's who manage the floor, from Lewis and Adam, to Loik and some more.  Handsome and helpful, se

From the perfect suitcase to the right wardrobe, the art of packing can be boiled down to a science.  Like anything in life, preparation is key, and in order to become a practical princess in the packing process one has to follow some rules.  The wardrobe doors are swung open and the suitcase is unzipped and so begins what feels like the most intense and real life game of Tetris – frantically trying to figure out how and where to fit everything, from the face polishers to the jimmy choos.  Whether you are off to traverse in the African bush or dashing off for a weekend in a cosmopolitan city, there are some simple yet smart strategies which can create easy, stress free packing.  The idea is to pack light but fashionably, something that many find much easier said than done.  The key is to pick specific outfits for your trip, realise both you and your wardrobe have the ability to mix and match and admit to yourself that you do not need 14 different evening outfits, a handful

Fasting fashionistas seem to be up to their eyeballs in the stuff but have you jumped on the juicy bandwagon?  The cult of the juice heads is somewhat overwhelming, with more people on the streets sucking on a straw of pond algae than there are people smoking a cigarette.  A healthier option than a cancer stick I agree, but what has caused this cleansing trend to grow faster than Jesse Pinkman’s meth addiction?  A natural high is what, and yes it is that simple.  Whether it is a 3 day cleanse or simply a liquid lunch, juicing is both satisfying and pleasurable – you are getting rid of those bitchy toxins and their even bitchier mates.  Devotees to this trend feel hygienic, healthy and moral, and their juice bars – sorry, juice boutiques - have become their regular rehab.  A Green Juice goes hand in hand with your Celine and your cutesy iphone cover; it announces you are hip and that you are a toned-and-together juice fan.  Although this 21 st century fasting frenzy has been sloshing

When you mix high fashion with fast food the end result is something more delicious, delectable and addictive than the original double cheeseburger itself.  For years there have been fashion mock ups of designer fast food, think Hermes fries, a Chanel cheeseburger, and a Prada milkshake.  If only these were REAL. If only high fashion actually did make fast food.  If only they made it as calorie free as they made their models.  Pause Applause Welcome Mr Jeremy Scott.   This week, high fashion has officially been mixed with fast food and the end result truly is as tantalising as you’d think.  McDonalds meets Moschino.  This is one fashion friendship that is so ironic, that it is glorious.  This dollar dollar menu is a kitsch fest with supersized style and the fashion world are certainly lovin’ it.  The iconic red and yellow palette is a feast for fashion eyes and staying true to the fast food theme, items are already available for purchase, faster than you can say “chees
