Top 10 worst chat up lines


Nothing like some cheesy chat up lines for cheesy guys to try and catch a girl’s attention.  Warning: These may have side effects of a broken heart and loneliness. As well as obesity from the comfort eating of valentines chocolates while hugging your cat watching ‘The Notebook.’

1. Was that an earthquake or did you just rock my world?

2. Are you a magnet? Cos I am attracted to you.

3. If I could rearrange the alphabet I would put ‘U’ and ‘I’ together.

4. Did you just fart? Cos you blew me away.

5. You must be tired because you’ve been running through my mind all day.

6. Hey I just realised, you look a lot like my next girlfriend.

7. Apart from being sexy, what do you do for a living?

Sophisticated Statements for Summer


Frances McClean discusses the vital fashion statements for Spring/Summer 2013

Step into Spring and Summer with bold graphics, bold sheen and sophisticated skirts. This year, we are seeing the most iconic statements yet, so prepare yourself to be amazed.

As seen by Marc Jacobs, graphics are making a stand so there is no time for accessories; let the fabric do the talking. With Aztec prints and bold colours, be courageous, gutsy and glamorous.

In contrast, become a sheen queen seen by Christian Dior and Burberry. Bringing out the best in unexpected metallic colours with shine, you are bound to be treated like royalty. For inspiration, go for silvers, gold and metallic pinks, oranges and lilac. Totally unusual, yet incredibly beautiful.

To keep sophistication, pencil skirts are back. Erderm represent sophistication and clashing colours to give a sophisticated and classy look. Bound to give you a sexy silhouette for any shape or size, pencil skirts are definitely a must have this season. Especially with the most dreaded or most exciting day approaching...

That’s right. Once again, it’s nearly the time of the year. Valentines Day.

You find yourself cuddling an empty box of chocolates, not that somebody bought you, but you bought yourself due to sympathy.
So, how will you overcome this?

  I think it’s time to get glamorous, whether you are with someone or not. Bead embellished garments, chunky jewellery and  subtle beauty are in. Leave the make-up, it’s time to embrace natural beauty and rather than reds, put on pure creams, pinks and pastels.

Only you are able to make the most of your femininity, so what’s stopping you?

It’s not so bad to be alone…


Harriet Stevenson discusses how spending Valentines Day single won’t be so bad after all!

Okay, so you’re most likely to be counting the days down till Valentines Day, whether it is with excitement to have a special day to express just how much you care for your ‘loved one’, or you’re dreading February 14th – a day which seems to you to be made especially for wallowing in self pity!

However, it doesn’t have to be like that, if you are single this Valentines then who cares? Just make the most out of the day – turn it into a celebration; make it a day to treat yourself. You know, bake some biscuits and a cake; make them as weird and wacky (or a perfectly flawless) as you want!

Afterwards why not put a film or two on, but I wouldn’t put on a ‘lovey dovey’ film because let’s be honest that’s likely to get you down on a day such as this one! So watch a few action films instead, a bit of Batman, Spiderman or James Bond is sure to put you in a good mood or at least distract you for a couple of hours. On the other hand you might prefer to just watch back-to-back episodes of your favorite TV show, to make you laugh!

Whatever you do though, whether you go the day alone or with a few friends make it a day to remember and just have a good time!

Where to go this summer...


The New Year hasn't been here long but already this year we've had freezing temperatures, piles of snow and never ending folders of work to complete. The only thing many of us can think of is booking the next flight away to warm, picturesque locations in tropics. This article will guide your through possible getaway locations for the upcoming summer holidays.

Budget (Less than £400)
Most of us will have a budget of only a few hundred pounds for our holidays this summer and that means we're pretty much confined to Europe, however this should not dampen your spirits. There are plenty of good holidays to be had in Europe, Spain offers warm weather, sandy beaches and cheap accommodation and food, the age limit for purchasing beer there is only 16 which may be another draw. Eastern European nations can be dirt cheap and you should not be deterred because of the lack of publicity these places get. Nations such as The Cheque Republic, Latvia and Romania provide culture, good food and a vibrant and unique nightlife.

Off of the beaten track (£400 - £800) 
On the Northern front of the great Sahara desert lies Tunisia, it sits along the Mediterranean, only a few hundred kilometres from mainland Italy it's relatively easy to access by boats from many European nations and regular flights leave from some London airports. Tunisia will provide a unique experience and will open your eyes to a different culture; it will introduce you to the desert and be a truly unique experience. With rich ethnic backgrounds and vibrant scenery, Tunisia will be sure to impress.

Luxury (£800+)
If your parents, by some miracle, have decided to fund your dream holiday, then America is surely the place to go. California is the dream location, with beaches, shopping and a mountain of activities to do, you cannot turn it down. From the diverse cultures of San Francisco, the palm covered boulevards of Los Angeles or the vast forests, beaches and mountains found across the whole state. With Disneyland California and various other parks offering top thrills and sights like the Grand Canyon and Vegas a stone throw away, it's the perfect holiday; but make sure to take your own booze as the drinking age is a staggering 21.
