Newlywed model Lara Stone doesn't like "most of" her body.
The Dutch 27 year-old is famed for her amazing figure, but admits she has her hang-ups and there are days when she doesn't want to leave the house because of how she's feeling.
"Most of it. It depends on the day. Like most women, I have days where I feel like today I'm not leaving the house - you know days where you've got a spot on your nose or when you've just got off a flight, eaten fish and chips and feel really bloated - that one happens a lot to me. You have to accept yourself though, and accept that there will always be something to worry about. It's much easier just to accept things," she said when asked which part of her body she isn't so keen on.
Although she isn't body confident, Lara has appeared in campaigns for many fashion houses and is one of the first models to represent so many different facets of the Calvin Klein brand, including lingerie, Calvin Klein Collection and its fragrances. "I love being part of so many elements of Calvin Klein, it's so nice to be able to be all these different women. You lose track of your identity a bit. There are many different aspects in different women and I think this is reflected in the different campaigns. All those facets are a part of me."

There's something modern but also timeless about that kind of story."

"Thanks to her charm, romanticism and her incredible modernity, Emma Watson has become the icon of her generation.

Jennifer Lopez Fan Kim Kardashian
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Health & Beauty, News,
Newly-engaged Kim Kardashian admires Jennifer Lopez's style. The 30-year-old star - who runs fashion chain D-A-S-H with sisters Kourtney and Khloe - admitted she is in awe of how "glamorous" the "On The Floor" hitmaker always looks.
"I'm inspired by Jennifer Lopez. I really like her style. She's really glamorous and always really well put together," Kim said.
While the reality TV beauty - renowned for her curvaceous physique - likes a "simple" looks when it comes to her style, she thinks she looks "pregnant" in unflattering, baggy styles. "My best look was a one-shoulder white dress I wore once and my hair was pulled back. It was quite simple. A baggy shift dress would make me look pregnant. It's not very flattering unless you're very skinny and tall."
Meanwhile, Kim confessed she is not against going under the surgeon's knife when she gets older, but has vowed to wait until she is 50 to properly decide whether a cosmetic procedure is right for her. "Whatever makes you happy, go with it. If it makes you happy to get some work done, go for it. My grandmother and mother have aged gracefully. I'm not against it, but I'll decide when I turn 50."

Tom Ford Promises a Functional Cosmetic Line
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Fashion Designers, Health & Beauty,
Fashion designer Tom Ford insists that his new beauty collection only includes essentials. Ford recently launched the cosmetics range and while some of his peers come up with a whole variety of products, Tom has kept his as simple as possible.
"I don't like B.S. and a lot of promises, and there are a lot of products out there you don't even need. My brain works in the same way whatever I do. The approach is practical, architectural and I use the same vocabulary whether I'm designing clothing or cosmetics."
Tom says creating a cosmetics line has always been something he wanted to do because he had such an interest in make-up while growing up: "I've cared about cosmetics and make-up since I was a kid. When I was 14, I had to be taken to the emergency room because the cucumber slices I had put on my eyes - to camouflage the bags - had made them swell shut. I could eat cucumbers, but my eyes were clearly allergic to them."

Want the secret to looking like Angelina Jolie? Don't brush your hair on a daily basis.
The Kung Fu Panda 2 actress - who raises six children with partner Brad Pitt - is regarded as one of the most beautiful women in the world, but insists she keeps her efforts to look good to a minimum.
"In my life, I hardly brush my hair very often. I try to be as low-maintenance as possible because of my kids, so I can just get up and get ready and do things and not take too much time."
In keeping her with her no-fuss beauty regime, it was previously claimed that Angelina keeps her lips in good condition by using Shea Terra's Menthe Orange Organic Shea Lip Butter, which costs just $4. The lip balm boasts a variety of unusual products including raw golden beeswax from Uganda, virgin coconut cream oil, African potato, Namibian tsamma melon seed oil, rooibos, chamomile flowers and wild Namibian plum oil.
"Angelina stockpiles the lip butter to preserve her to-die-for pout. She likes it because it also helps to freshen your breath and Angelina hates chewing gum," a source revealed.
