Feeling blue? We are too! From our hands to our toes, we're taking the eternal cool of denim and painting our nails in washed out indigos and smokey blues.

At last night's CMT Music Awards, sheer fabrics like lace and chiffon were the major trend. From full length white lace, to sheer black bodices that ran the gamut from gothic to refined (as refined as seeing someone's bra through the panel can be), singers weren't afraid to show their summer skin. Surprisingly absent was colour or wild prints, which were all over the MTV Movie Awards...

Looking at Doutzen Kroes up close you are acutely aware that God broke the mold when He made her.

Frizz. Just whispering the word we swear makes our hair start to curl, if not our toes. Humid, hot, summer weather not only makes our hair expand, but the thought of blow drying and running tools through our hair becomes an idea too hot to bare. If you do go to the trouble, by the time you've completed your AC-free commute, what was in your bathroom sleek has morphed to eek. We spoke to Alain...

Don't expect dramatic red-carpet gowns at the MTV Movie Awards, drama maybe, but only in the on-stage antics of presenters and award recipients. Short, body-con dresses are the silhouette of choice, and eye-catching prints and embellishment are the only way to stand out in a sea of tanned limbs and sexy blow outs. Here are our favourites from the 2011 MTV Movie Awards red carpet.

Yellow nails are nothing new, we've been fans of canary, sunflower and lemon hues on our digits for a long time. These two new hues, Chanel's Mimosa and Deborah Lippmann's Yellow Brick Road are quickly becoming new cult faves, so inspired by their spotlight turn we picked out a wardrobe that reflects these optimistic, sunny polishes.

We all know (either first hand or by watching family or friends) that being a single mom is a stressful juggling act beyond what is experienced by many married moms. So the findings of a study by Ohio State University associate professor of sociology Kristi Williams don't surprise much, but they are important when thinking about the health implications and the support systems in place for...

Say tie-dye and images of the sixties, Dead Heads and Rasta T-shirts comes to mind. But this print is on a major uptick this summer, and getting a modern overhaul with ikat influences and girlie colours, and in such bright and multi-coloured designs there's no better place to try it out than in beachwear.

We've all heard the song, that iconic one about the not-so-big bikini in a bright lemony hue that a girl wore to the singer's utter delight. We even included one below that will get others humming the tune when they see you at the pool. But that song isn't the final word in polka dots, though it does sum up the nostalgia that the print evokes. Big or small, they've got a Beach...
