NO STREAKING!

The sun is out, which means so are our legs.
If you want to look stylish in the summer but you're looking a little pasty still from the winter months then it's time to hit the bottle.
And I don't mean the alcoholic kind (although have a few too many vinos and you won't be able to see your legs never mind what colour they are), I mean that wonderproduct I can no longer live without, fake tan.

Yep! Add a thin layer of that sunkissed look to your limbs and you'll soon be more than ready to bare those sexy pins (did I just come over a little bit Gok?).

But ladies, and indeed gentlemen, be warned!

Whilst a light tan can hide a multitude of sins AND make your legs appear slimmer and more toned, be careful not to end up like Miss Lohan:

When fake tan goes streaky, quite frankly you're better off looking paler than Nicola Roberts, because streaks are most definitely and quite categorically NOT a good look and should be left to bacon.

Invest in a good fake tan (it's worth spending the money) and if you're not so hot at doing it yourself either invest in a professional spray tan, or try a body lotion with fake tanning agent and apply daily to gradually build a light tan over a few days.

Fake tans I recommend:

Xen-Tan - dark lotion: instant colour as it is tinted and smells yummy.
Lancome Flash bronzer.
- both can be applied in the morning or before you go out as they appear even and develop quickly, don't smear and don't have that usual musty fake tan smell.

AND on the subject of streaks.... can I just ask you ladies why there are still a few of you walking around with Ginger Spice style streaks in your hair?

Highlights: YES.
Streaks: NO.

There is a reason Geri Halliwell's streaks disappeared with the Spice Girls, and this is it:

My advice to you if your hair comes close to resembling anything like this (and no, I don't just mean ginger streaks)?
Sack your hairdresser.
If your hairdresser still thinks it's a good look and is perfectly happy to vandalise your head with such bad taste, then their tools need permanently confiscating.

Sadly I was walking behind a girl who had matching streaks in her hair and her legs the other day.
Poor love, it made her look terribly cheap. I wanted to wrap her up in a blanket and give her to Gok.
I even nearly shed a tear for her... but I'm not that emotional.
