It’s not often that I share other people’s competitions, but I am dying for one of you guys to win this! To celebrate the Summer Solstice, Virgin Experience Days are giving you and a friend the chance to win a rather fantastic day of unforgettable experiences on Friday June 21st!

The plan? To start the longest day of the year off with a London Bungee jump before seeing London from the top with a visit to the Shard! You’ll then be taken to the Thames in the afternoon to see London from a different angle with a ride in a RIB (including areas not usually accessible by boat!) After a busy day you can relax with a Dining tour and Champagne for two before settling down in the prestigious May Fair Hotel for a well-deserved night’s sleep.

To enter, simply head over to Virgin Experience Days’ form (click!) and use code LL12 to enter! Full terms and conditions are all there for your perusal. Good luck, my loves!

Having recently given you the chance to win one of five blu-ray copies of Gangster Squad on DVD, it is officially time to announce the winners!

Excuse me for arriving late to the party but…how awesome is Gangster Squad?

If Ryan Gosling alone wasn’t enough to get you to the theatres, let me spell Gangster Squad out for you; 1940s. Wit. Action. Style. Mobs. Off the book cops. Sean Penn. Josh Brolin. Nick Nolte. Emma Stone…

…in fact, I know Emma Stone’s wardrobe would be reason enough for many of you to get caught up in the film’s slick aesthetic. Playing Gangster Moll Grace Faraday, the redhead epitomised everything I adore about 1940s style.

To ‘Get The Look’…

How-To: Emma Stone’s Gangster Squad Style:
- Hair: Barely changing throughout the entire movie, Grace always has uniformed and glossy curls pinned back to one side. To get the look, I suggest gently combing through No Heat Sock Curls and getting a pretty hairpin to secure one side away from your face.
- Make-up: You want to keep the skin very soft and mattified (best example) and the rest of your make-up as simple as cat-eyed eyeliner and a show-stopping red lipstick (try NARS Jungle Red). Anything else would detract from her simple and classy beauty look.
- Fashion: Royal-toned and floor length gowns rule here. (Options: steal, save for, or splurge).

And hey, while you’re at it, why not take a second to enter to WIN one of 5 blu-ray copies of the Gangster Squad DVD (out May 27th)?! Thanks to the lovely folks at Warner Bros, you are in with an exclusive chance to get your hands on the jam-packed DVD.
