The media has given celebs computer screens of flak for this season’s biggest do/don’t: visible shoulder pads.

Made big by Balmain’s Spring/Summer 09 collection, the visible shoulder pad has been seen sported by the likes of Rhiannon, Kim Kardashian and Kristen Cavallari, with none of them actually doing this tricky look any justice.

Shoulder pads hail from the 80’s, so keep the rest of your look polished and modern (go easy on the jewellery) to avoid looking like an unfortunate blast from the past.

Many of us are in waistline rehabilitation after the season’s festivities, but just because you’re watching what you eat doesn’t mean you should shy away from the fruitful social dining experiences that summer brings.

Before deciding it’s too difficult and ordering an indulgence – we’ve received a few tips from Latoya Maddigan, Director of Eccentric Health and Fitness. With a bit of quick thinking and negotiation, Latoya assures us that every restaurant experience can be a waistline friendly one!

Re-shape your brows
So you’ve had a few eyebrow waxes, but plucking is so much easier right? Have a look in the mirror, study your eyebrows – is there shape and symmetry? Plucking for a long period of time impacts on your shape, and if you’re thinking ‘what shape?’ it’s time to put down the tweezers and go ‘bush’ for 6-8 weeks. Not plucking during this period is imperative to re-shaping from scratch.

Your best shape eyebrows will change over time too, as your weight and haircut does, so make sure you get an eyebrow re-shape with a beauty professional every 12 months.

Grinspoon’s sixth studio album Six To Midnight has received a tremendous response so far, debuting at #4 in the ARIA charts and winning mountains of praise from fans and reviewers alike. The first single Comeback, the latest single Summer, have both received huge reactions, gaining high rotation on most major TV & radio stations, with the latter destined to be one of this summer’s biggest hits.
