Colours, Its all about Colours, We tell Thee...
The high streets have gone all 'United Colors' on us!

Bring some colour into you wardrobe this autumn, 'monochromatic' is the word. Purple which is one of our favorite colours, appears to be amassive hit this season but it doesn't just stop there, nah ah, we have the red/pinks, the Turquoise/Blues and also the Yellow/Orange

We know a girl's gonna look fab in these, but if these colours are not to your taste the Greys, Khakis and Browns are other hot alternatives.

Take it right down to your tights and shoes check out these fabulous pair of Satin-and-patent-leather shoes, by Christian Louboutin.

Check out what our celebrity girlfriends are wearing these days, some might say too bold but if they can pull off these colours why can't we??? i mean there are a whole range of different skin tones out there we can compare ourselves with and blessed are they for their many many many many mistakes which we shall not repeat. Oh Ooooh!

We already know belts are going to be big for autumn 07, so why not pick up a belted purple dress? 2 in one combo and you are well and truly sorted...

'If I Knew You Were Coming I'd have Baked a Cake!'

Courtesy of Martha Stewart living, The last of the summer cake recipe we can all try and recreate at home, fingers crossed it will look just as good!

Peaches-and-Cream Ice Cream Cake
For layers with a colorful contrast, use two different varieties of peach sorbet.
Ingredients
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened, plus more for pan
1 1/2 cups cake flour, not self-rising
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup sugar
2 large eggs, separated
1/2 cup buttermilk
Vegetable-oil cooking spray
1 1/2 pints vanilla ice cream, slightly softened
1 1/2 pounds ripe peaches, cut into 1/2-inch pieces (about 2 1/4 cups)
2 pints peach sorbet, slightly softened

Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter an 8-by-12-inch cake pan, and line with parchment paper. Butter parchment; set aside. Sift flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt into a medium bowl; set aside.

Put butter and 3/4 cup sugar into the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment; mix on medium-high speed until pale and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Mix in egg yolks. Reduce speed to low. Add flour mixture in 3 batches, alternating with the buttermilk. Transfer batter to a medium bowl; set aside.

Put egg whites into the clean bowl of mixer fitted with the whisk attachment; beat on medium-high speed until foamy. Gradually add remaining 1/3 cup sugar, beating until soft peaks form. Gently fold half of egg-white mixture into batter with a rubber spatula. Fold in remaining egg white mixture. Transfer to prepared pan.

Bake until light golden and a cake tester inserted into center comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool a wire rack 15 minutes. Invert onto rack; remove parchment. Let cool completely. Trim cake to 10 by 5 inches. Cake can be refrigerated, wrapped in plastic, up to 1 day.

Coat a 10-by-5-inch loaf pan with cooking cooking spray; line with parchment, allowing a 1-inch overhang on long sides. Coat parchment with cooking spray. Line with plastic wrap, allowing a 3-inch overhang.

Stir ice cream and peaches in a medium bowl; spread into prepared pan. Freeze until firm, about 2 hours. Spread 1 pint sorbet over ice cream; freeze until firm, about 1 hour. Spread with remaining pint sorbet; top with cake.

Cover with plastic overhang. Freeze until firm, at least 2 hours or up to 4 days.

To loosen cake from pan, wrap a damp, hot towel around pan. Lift out. Serve immediately.

Thanks Martha

"iPhone" - New Toy in Town!

Get ready to Queue ladies & gents...iPhone has arrived!!

Who's ready for the newest and hottest gadget in town? Its sexy, its slick and a roaring 10 on the "You Gotta Have It Top 10 List", HotBabes are pleased to announce the "iPHONE" Ooooooh Yeah!

Friday saw the release of this little beauty in the US...hmmm HotBabes need to touch base with somebody in the USofA...

According to Apple "iPhone introduces an entirely new user interface based on a revolutionary multi-touch display and pioneering new software that allows users to control iPhone with just a tap, flick or pinch of their fingers. iPhone

combines three products into one small and lightweight handheld device—a revolutionary mobile phone, a widescreen iPod®, and the Internet in your pocket with best-ever applications on a mobile phone for email, web browsing and maps. iPhone ushers in an era of software power and sophistication never before seen in a mobile device, which completely redefines what users can do on their mobile phones."

Just one more thing you need to know....the price is absolutely delightful! A mere $499 (US) for 4GB model and $599 (US) for 8GB model. But if that doesn't have you hooked then please check http://www.apple.com/iphone for more info.

But of course there is a catch! Phone is available for sale in the USofA and on-line. The catch is that the phone can only be purchased with a contract with AT&T who are the exclusive carrier.

Free Credit Card for HotBabes anyone?

"Looking So Hot!'

Say it! Philosophy. This products is truly amazing! After being fully engrossed in another episode of Oprah's Favorite Things... You know the one? Well that's when we discovered this delightful product.

We didn't exactly go out there and buy it immediately, no not until a good friend of ours recommended it to us.

It was one of those occasions, a typical girly night out, talking about randoms over dinner, complimenting each other, you know how it goes... Wondering whats Hot and whats not. This particular friend of ours skin is glowing and absolutely radiant so we ask what she uses and she tells us Philosoply! She then gives us an insight into the product and claims the whole procedure isn't time consuming at all and that it's as easy as A,B, C.

As Much as we are Hot(sigh), we don't particularly use time consuming things... Its all Natural you see!

Anyways, Ok, so we had to try it out for ourselves. As they say, "Seeing is believing" right?

Guys!! This product is Hot Hot Hot and will not let you down, we promise!

Philosophy beliefs

"the best foundation you will ever own is your own radiant complexion—and thanks to their next-generation skincare collection, wearing makeup is an option instead of a requirement. With years of medical research under their beauty-full belt, the line has created skincare treatments—comparable to those found in top plastic surgery and dermatology practices—that reveal radiantly clear, beautifully bright, and impeccably smooth skin."

Try this one out guys!
