Victoria's Secret 2011 Fashion Show >

Last week the Victoria's Secret models once again strutted their stuff on the catwalk at the 16th annual lingerie extravaganza in NYC. I love looking at the pictures of the Victoria Secret fashion shows (you can see last years pictures here) and every year it seems to get bigger and bigger ! This year the show was rumoured to have cost $12 million!

The shows just look like so much fun because unlike most fashion week runway shows, where sour faced models tend to walk passionlessly up and down so as not to distract from the clothes, here the models are encouraged to wink, wave, blow kisses and whoop up the crowd. I adore the designs and creativity of the outfits, themes, performances and of course the girls are incredibly beautiful...you pretty much can't help loving a Victoria Secret Angel ♥

Super Hero Angels?
Illinois-native Erin Heatherton & Brazilian model Isabel Goulart definitely look the part!

M: Australian model Miranda Kerr wearing a $2.5million diamond-studded Fantasy Treasure bra!
R: Doutzen Krous looking amazing! (She only gave birth to her baby boy in January).
This was the Dutch supermodel's 4th year as an VS Angel.

Middle: Alessandra Ambrosio; this was the 10th year she walked the glamorous runway!
Right: Miranda Kerr

Alessandra definitely stole the show in the Passion Play wings (above)! The wings came from a collaboration between Victoria Secret and Swarovski Elements that took seven years to design and make. The antique copper wings are plated with 23-carat gold and are embellished with 105,000 Swarovski crystals. Apparently Alessandra did extra back strengthening exercises leading up to the fashion show and you can imagine why when you learn that this set of wings weighed 10kg!!During the fashion show music was performed by Jay-Z, Kanye West, Nicki Minaj, and Maroon 5. On the left is Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine serenading his model girlfriend Anne Vyalitsyna as she walks down the catwalk to his song 'Moves like Jagger'. Adriana Lima looked sensational in blue underwear and a massive 'Incredible' cape whilst Kanye West sang his hit song 'Stronger'.Brazilian Angels Alessandra & Adriana during the finale of the Victoria Secret Fashion Show ♥Confetti and balloons at the finale, how fun does that look right?! I loved seeing Miranda Kerr and Doutzen Krous back on the catwalk this year. Sadly missing was Angel Rosie Huntington-Whiteley who had another work commitment and therefore passed on walking the catwalk for Victoria Secrets this year.

The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show will be screened on US network CBS on November 29.

Will you be watching? xoxo

BINTM and the winner is....

For the last few weeks I have been following Britain & Irelands's Next Top Model. Yes I am a real sucker for shows like this; just love it! Nothing beats talk like 'Smizing' and 'Tyra Mail' or in the UK series 'Elle Mail' because it's hosted by the stunning Elle MacPherson. On Monday night it was the long awaited final and me and my new flattie were on the couches at home with a cuppa dying to find out who'd take the title this season! And I am soooo happy that my favourite Jade Thompson won Britain & Ireland’s Next Top Model over fellow finalist Juste Juozapaityte!

Here they are (Jade on the right) waiting to be told the winner....(such tension hehe)!

B&INTM host and judge Elle MacPherson said of Jade's look: 'This show is about finding a special kind of beauty. A unique modern kind of beauty... and that is what Jade is.'

I think Jade looked UH-mazing in these beauty beach shots taken in one of the challenges in the show. A perfect combination of sexy and cute!

And fellow judge Grace Woodward, who is known for her high standards and catty comments, said: 'Jade is like her name, she's a rare and precious stone we've found in the rough.'

Her freckles are too cute!!

Thompson's prize included a prize with model agency Models 1, a six-page fashion editorial, a cover spread with Company magazine and a £100,000 cosmetics contract with Revlon. Lucky girl. I hope she'll do well in the modelling world because I think this girl actually has a special and unique look :)

And being Wednesday will round this post up with a little inspiration..

Happy Hump Day everyone! Lots of love xoxo Roz
