We all need a little bit of help sometimes and Lily Allen is no exception. Lily Allen shared her love for Spanx with the world by posting a video on Instagram of her dancing in her dressing room in a pair of Spanx. Later that evening she stunned the crowd in Brussels in a metallic cut out dress, proving that Spanx is the not-so-secret wardrobe essential for women.
Lily is wearing the Trust Your Thinstincts High Waisted Mid-Thigh Shaper, available from spanx.co.uk for £74.
Spanx have some exciting news; they are expanding their slimming empire by unveiling skinny jeans complete with their secret shaping technology. These gorgeous denim jeans have combined the ease of a legging, the classic look of jeans and the shaping power of SPANX to create ‘revolutionary denim leggings that keep you slim and on trend.’
The jeans have a wide, slimming waistband and side sipper to ensure a flat fit, smooth silhouette and comfortable shaping. The faux front pockets make thighs appear slimmer while carefully-placed back pockets have been added to create a more pert rear.
At a cost of £63-£100 these gorgeous styles are available on spanx.co.uk and in Harrods, Selfridges and NEXT. Styles come in the following colourways: Wax Denim, Teal, Indigo Wash, Blue Lapis, Brick and Black.

I am a huge fan of tights and stockings. They can instantly update a look. I have picked out some of my favourites from MyTights.com and reviewed them. I modeled them myself so you can see what they look like on a normal women. Here goes….
These are very timeless. Dotty tights have always been popular. I love this pair. They are really comfortable, elegant and luxurious.
These 40 denier Argyle Backseam Tights by Mary Portas and Charnos feature argyle diamonds on the back of the leg – a subtle way to get in on the trend for heritage patterns. I LOVE these tights. They have a subtle Argyle backseam. I got loads of complements when I wore them. They are really quirky and fun. Exactly what you would expect from Mary Portas. Comfy too. Check out the Indigo ones. Gorgeous. 
With their dainty opaque polka dots from toe to waist, these Sheer Spot Tights by Mary Portas and Charnos will get you in line with one of this season’s most wearable trends. More dots! This time in silver, and the black pair with dots that are less subtle. Beautiful, cool tights. They get my stamp of approval.
