What Kate should wear Down Under

While the Duchess of Cambridge is in Australia with the Duke and Prince George, we think it's only fitting for her to wear some local Australian and New Zealand designers.

Now to Love

The world’s eyes will be closely fixed on the fashion choices of Kate Middleton during her three-week visit to Australia and New Zealand.

Kate’s style is both elegant and contemporary, but she is known for her love of affordable fashion, often sporting outfits from Topshop and LK Bennett.

While there’s no doubt the Duchess of Cambridge will have plenty of options, we have selected some pieces for her to wear from the current collections of our favourite Australian and New Zealand designers.

Blogger launches new ‘fatkini’ collection

Plus-size blogger Gabi Gregg has unveiled her second swimwear collection, proudly modelling one of her signature "fatkinis".

Now to Love

Plus-size blogger Gabi Gregg has unveiled her second swimwear collection, proudly modelling one of her signature “fatkinis”.

The new range – which comes in sizes 10 to 24 – is inspired by the 1950s and looks likely to be as popular as Gabi’s first collection for Swimsuits For All, which sold out in less than 48 hours last year.

“I think swimsuit shopping can be horrendous if you’re going to stores that don’t offer your size, but finding a stylish option that fits you well can actually make you feel great,” Gabi said.

Gabi, 26, shot to internet fame last year when she published a gallery of curvy women wearing swimsuits entitled “Fatkini” on her blog GabiFresh. The photo collection quickly went viral and she designed her first swimwear line shortly afterwards.

Plus-size blogger Gabi Gregg has unveiled a new range of “fatkinis” for a plus-size swimwear retailer.

Gabi’s first collection for Swimsuits For All sold out in less than 24 hours last May.

Gabi wants all women to feel good in a cossie.

The collection, which goes on sale later this month, is retro-inspired.

“I’m super passionate about plus-size women wearing great swimsuits unapologetically,” Gabi says.

The range comes in sizes 10 to 24.

Makeup commercial reveals the truth

It's not your typical makeup commercial, but one beauty brand has featured two women and one man removing makeup and showing what their skin really looks like.

Now to Love

Cassandra Bankson wipes off her makeup.

Dermablend Professional products are used by people with mild to severe skin conditions, but rather than revealing the finished look in their videos, the brand featured three people removing their makeup.

The videos were created by Agence Tuxedo for Dermablend Professional and aimed to create an emotional connection with consumers.

They feature Cassandra Bankson, an acne-sufferer, who does YouTube makeup tutorials; Cheri Lindsay, a volleyball coach with the depigmentation condition vitiligo; and Zombie Boy, a man covered in tattoos.

All three talk about the role that concealing makeup plays in their lives.

“I used to use makeup to cover up, and to hide who I was. Now, I use it to express myself and show the world who I truly am,” Bankson says in her video.

Grant Hackett breaks silence post-rehab

Now to Love

Grant Hackett

Hackett said he was proud of his decision to seek help by entering the US rehab centre in Arizona for “a sleeping disorder”. Hackett fled to the US last month. At the time his father Neville said his son had been the subject of “a family intervention” for what was widely reported as an addiction to the sleeping drug Stilnox.

“I’ve just been exhausted over a long duration and to actually get over here and to have a bit of peace and quiet – to be able to focus on myself and get into a really good head space,” he told Nine News.

“I’ve lived – I guess when you look back on it – quite a stressful life from quite a young age. Emotionally, if you don’t deal with [those issues] – and to be honest, I’m not too good at that – because as an athlete you’re always trying to overcome adversity and the next challenge and it just gets to a situation in life where you’re not coping too well and you need to put your hand up and ask for help.”

He revealed his parents also visited him at the facility where they spoke about “their history” and had a “confronting week”.

Hackett and former wife singer Candice Alley recently finalised their divorce after separating in May.

Therese Rein’s $221m payday

Now to Love

Therese Rein

Providence Service Corporation will pay $63 million in cash for the company, plus another $25.6.7 million in cash and stock over four years.

It agreed to pay a further $133 million if the company hit specified targets during the following five years.

Theresa founded Igneus in 1989 to help people with disabilities and physical injuries to find work. She was inspired by her own father, John Rein, an RAAF navigator who suffered severe spinal damage after a plane crash during World War Two and was consigned to a wheelchair. Although he never walked again, he went on to become an aeronautical engineer and a Paralympian.

The company found success under the Hawke and Howard governments helping the injured and disabled rejoin the workforce before expanding overseas.

It now encompasses 2000 employees in 10 countries, earning more than 70 per cent of its interests in the UK. Ms Rein sold the Australian part of the business when Kevin Rudd became Prime Minister in 2007.

Meanwhile Khloe, Kylie and Kendal weren’t going to let their big sister have all the attention, posting their own seductive bikini snaps.

Demi Moore plans comeback

Now to Love

ASHTON Kutcher and fiancé Mila Kunis may be expecting their first child together, but it seems his ex-wife Demi Moore isn’t fazed one bit.

In fact, the single mother of three is already giving Hollywood’s hottest couple a run for their money, making headlines of her own.

After spending several months avoiding the spotlight, following her very [public breakup with Ashton] in November 2011, the 51-year-old is said to be plotting a massive transformation and career comeback.

And while most celebs turn to fad diets and intense fitness regimes to shed weight fast, Demi is taking a new and positive approach.

The slender actress plans to reinvent herself by gaining some weight.

“Demi is loving her new reclusive lifestyle because she realises how overexposed she was when she was with Ashton. Now there’s a real demand for her,” a source told Radar about the Ghost star’s new life.

“She’s learning that female fans really identify with her and hate the way Ashton behaved. The public wants more – of Demi!”

So when can fans expect to see the new and improved Demi out and about? Well, it looks like we’ll be waiting a little longer, with the brunette bombshell insisting on laying low until it hits autumn in the US, when she plans to re-emerge looking better than ever.

“She’s slowly trying to put on healthy weight and muscle and is looking more like the ‘old Demi’ and not the underfed, half-starved Mrs Kutcher.”

“When she does re-enter public life, she is going to be ready to talk about her body and the issues she’s had with it over the years,” added the source.
