Sneaky Tricks To Take The Most Attractive Instagram Selfies Ever
When you take a super amazing picture of yourself

SHOOT FROM THE SHOULDER
Whether you're using your camera or smartphone, you don't want to have it in the frame. Instead, hold it away from you at shoulder level and twist your body toward it, pushing your opposite shoulder toward the camera. Then crop the arm that's holding the camera out of the pic.
FOLLOW THE RULE OF THIRDS
This is a little photography secret that most professionals use. Start by mentally dividing the frame into thirds: Instead of being in the middle of a picture, put yourself off-center, so that you either fall in the first 1/3 or 2/3 of the frame. It makes the shot look more interesting.
GET OTHER STUFF INTO THE SHOT
On a gorgeous beach? Get the water behind you. At a cool concert? Shoot the stage in the background. Just like the rule of thirds, scenery makes the shot look more interesting (and not like you're just shooting yourself at home because you're bored). And when it's more interesting, people will eyeball it longer...
TILT YOUR HEAD
People generally look better when they're not looking dead-on at the camera. It's better to have a slight turn of your head or a slight angle, so tilt your head down a little and angle your eyes up toward the camera.
ANGLE YOUR BOD
If you want your full body in the frame, always tilt your hip, put one leg on tiptoe, or shift around to get a slightly off-balance poseit visually slims your bod and makes it look sexier.
THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX
You don't always have to have your face in the frame for a hot pic (Need proof? Check out this one of Heidi Klum.) If you want a shot of yourself laying on the beach, a la Heidi, bend your legs like she did. The move flattens your stomach and keeps your legs from looking distorted. You can also take it up a notch by angling your hips to the side a little.
USE FLATTERING LIGHT
Shooting outdoors? Avoid taking a pic between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m.the midday sun is harsh and will show off whatever tiny imperfections you might have. The best light is in the morning or around sunsetthe orangey glow makes everything look better.
Olivia Palermo Takes The Coat Dress Trend
Friday, October 3, 2014
Olivia Palermo is, undoubtedly, is our ultimate FROW darling. Season after season, she treats us to a flawless array of looks as she dashes from city to city to take in the new collections of her favourite designers and this Fashion Month has been no exception.
From her hometown of New York to London, Milan and now Paris, Olivia has made every single one of her outfits count, each earning her major style praise. However, her latest look which she sported to Valentino's SS15 catwalk show has to be one of her most eye-catching yet.
Never one to shy away from a sartorial challenge, OP took the coat dress trend to a whole new level. A firm fashion favourite with the likes of Kate Middleton, the coat dress is usually very formal and refined. Needless to say, Olivia put her own, very cool spin on the trend, making it look seriously fresh.
We clocked the 28-year-old writer and socialite made her way to the venue in a green coat which only just covered her modesty as she spun it as a dress. Well, who can blame her? If we had pins like that we'd be wearing blush-worthy hemlines day in, day out...
Dress Me, I'm Your Mannequin!
Suki Waterhouse On Her Style
Suki Waterhouse is undergoing something of a dramatic transformation when we speak on the phone. 'I'm just having my hair dyed brown,' she says nonchalantly. 'You've caught me at a very, very crazy time.'
By now, we've all seen Suki with her new chestnut brown 'do. And while we agree that going from a blonde to brunette is a bold move, this is probably one of the lesser (numerous, frequent) such 'crazy times' the 22-year-old model-come-actress has experienced.
Whether she's walking one of the biggest catwalk shows of fashion month, out partying with her close friends and fellow models Cara Delevingne and Georgia May Jagger, or filming the next big Hollywood movie (she just wrapped on the next movie in the Divergent franchise), Suki Waterhouse isn't exactly living a staid, run-of-the-mill existence.
And as well as her modelling and acting commitments – Suki's hair makeover is, in fact, 'for a film I'm about to start doing' – the 22-year-old has somehow found time to design a capsule range for Superga: the trainer brand loved by the likes of Alexa Chung, Rita Ora et al.
But wait. Hold on. How do you actually say it? 'I think it's Sup-er-guh,' Suki says. 'But you can say it how you like,' she kindly adds, making us feel slightly less ignorant for not being able to pronounce the Italian label properly.

Ashton Kutcher And Mila Kunis Gave Their Daughter A Very Cool Name
Mila Kunis and her fiancé Ashton Kutcher welcomed their daughter and first child into their lives just this week and they've already let us in on her utterly adorable name.
After getting his young family settled back in their LA home, Ashton took to his website to let the world know that both of his girls are doing well and to officially announce his daughter's name to his loyal fans.
'Mila and I would like to welcome Wyatt Isabelle Kutcher to the world. May your life be filled with wonder, love, laughter, health, happiness, curiosity, and privacy.' How adorable is that?
We don't know about you, but we're loving the newborn's offbeat but not too out-there first name. We'd expect nothing less from this very cool couple...
If that wasn't enough, Ashton also posted a series of photographs, only to reveal that ONE of them is actually his offspring. Ok...

Reverting back to his prankster Punk'd days, Ashton has asked his followers to guess which cutie is actually theirs. Again posted on his website, Ashton said: 'Can you guess which one is ours, or does it really matter? All babies are cute.'
Check out the beyond-cute line-up for yourselves here. Can you guess which baby belongs to Mila and Ashton? Our bets are hedged on the gorgeous babe with the big eyes that's wrapped in the blue and pink stripe blanket; we reckon she's the spitting image of Mila.
No doubt Ashton will reveal all soon. But, in the meantime, we'll gladly coo over all of these little tikes.
