Cheryl Cole does MiH Jeans

The nations sweetheart Cheryl Cole was recently seen arriving at The X Factor studios in London, England rocking none other than our favourite jeans brand MiH Jeans.


Wearing the MiH Jeans X Liberty colllaboration babys; the Vienna Jeans in 'Featherprint' we love how she teams them up with a cosy Christmas style jumper for a festive but stylish look. Her high buckle boots and oversized leather carry-all bag add her typical style of edgy cool, complimenting the outfit perfectly whilst staying true to Chezza's personal style.

The perfect jeans for the festive season, these subtle statement jeans are available in most Liberty stores as well as online. Follow in Ms Cole's footsteps and get yours while you can!

An Olympic performance from Rejuvenate!

Manchester-based business consultancy Rejuvenate, gave an Olympic performance yesterday as they delivered a training programme to help cosmetic surgery specialist Castlefield Clinic grow its turnover and profit by 50 per cent during the next year.


Castlefield Clinic, which is set to celebrate its 20th anniversary, has turned to Rejuvenate for support after previously using the consultancy to help it put in place a new management structure and business processes.

Team members and directors of the clinic were invited to Manchester’s premier entertainment and sports centre, The Green (previously known as Golftorium) to learn new techniques, focus on the challenge ahead and feel truly inspired to reach new heights.

Rejuvenate provided a full agenda of workshops designed to share knowledge, inspire action and motivate the team, whilst branding the programme and devising an internal communication strategy which will keep the team on track to deliver throughout 2011.

Highlights of the day’s activity included an energetic vision workshop which saw the team tear magazines apart in search of representational images, and an inspirational story delivered by the comical and successful British Olympic Swimming Champion, Steve Parry. His winning medal was brought for all to see!


Rejuvenate, based in Manchester’s Northern Quarter, is headed by entrepreneurs Anna-Louise Gilhooley and Shazan Qureshi and works with companies ranging from dynamic start-up businesses through to global brands such as Mercedes-Benz.

Sex Features High on the Agenda at this Year's Work Christmas Party!

To celebrate the launch of their new Gaydar App and the start of the festive party season, the world’s largest Gay dating website, Gaydar.co.uk has commissioned a survey into the nation’s work Christmas party shenanigans, revealing that over a third of Manchester worker (37%) have naughty Noel nookie in mind – and ideally with a colleague.

Astonishingly a third (33%) have acted on their frisky thoughts and have already enjoyed a mischievous fling with a co-worker, and almost one in ten (9%) work Christmas party hook-ups have gone beyond a quick snog under the mistletoe into a relationship.

It’s not only singletons thinking about and enjoying Christmas action with a colleague –a fifth (20%) of married and 15% of coupled up Brits admit to eying up a colleague for a sex rendezvous at the work Christmas shindig.

When the festive mood strikes, the stock room tops the list of places for Manchester workers to enjoy a quickie at 32% followed by the work loo (19%) and the boss’ desk (18%). And when it comes to trying to attract a work fling, Mancunians are willing to shell out an average of £103 on their party pulling outfit.

The survey also revealed some interesting sexual habits across the country:

Edinburgh is the naughtiest city when it comes to fantasising about having a Christmas party quickie with a colleague at 39%, closely followed by London (37%) and Manchester (37%).
Almost half (41%) of Glaswegians admit they’ve had a quickie with someone at work compared to the more chaste Geordies - nearly three quarters (73%) of which declare they’ve never got in on with a co-worker!
A fifth of employees in Cardiff, Brighton and Manchester admit they’d happily get it on over the boss’ desk – hopefully they don’t work for Sir Allan!
A staggering 92% of Brighton folk feel the least need to splash out for a special party pulling outfit compared to a quarter of Brummies (25%) who plan to pull out all the stops.
Edinburgh residents top the national average on their party outfit investment earmarking an average budget of £104 for new threads closely followed by Mancunians who plan to spend £103. This compares with Belfast residents, who plan on spending just £75 on a new outfit.

Commenting on the survey, Gaydar Product Manager Simon Johnson says: “The work Christmas party appears to be the playground to enjoy fun, festive frolics whether gay, straight, single, married or taken! The launch of our new Gaydar iPhone app means that whenever the mood strikes, our six million gay, bisexual and bi-curious members worldwide will be able to enjoy a fun hook-up at the touch of the button at home or away.

The Party Pop Up Boutique and an Evening at The Alchemist

Thursday night marked the launch of not one but two amazing new Manchester ventures. Starting the evening's events, the Rejuvenate team headed over to suite 24 in Barton Arcade, Deansgate for The Party Pop Up Boutique - an eclectic mix of Manchester's independent fashion, jewellery and contemporary designers.


The nights designers and fashion included amazing jewellery by Fatz K and cutting edge fashion by the likes of Merabi by Nadine, Pretty Disturbia and Blaq to name but a few. The focus of the evening was without a doubt Nadine Merabi's new debut womenswear collection 'Merabi by Nadine'. Her 2010-11 Winter collection consisted of jaw droppingly stunning floor length gowns with heavy embellishment that oozed hollywood and red carpet glamour. Perfect to stand out at those fast approaching Christmas parties!

The tagline read "one party you dont want to miss" and we had to agree! The venue was jam packed with Manchester's fashionable elite who had braved to party the night away whilst showing their support. Guests enjoyed canapes and drinks whilst enjoying the sounds of the party's DJ and admiring the vast and diverse selection of fashion on display. Models were on hand all night modelling Nadine's premier collection and alternative festive cocktails were also on offer via the party's own mini cocktail bar!


The Party Pop Up Boutique is now open upstairs in Barton Arcade, Deansgate from 11am-6pm daily till Friday 31st December.

After the Pop Up Boutique had wrapped up, we headed over to Spinningfields for the opening night of new cocktail bar and restaurant The Alchemist. The Alchemist's amazing interior is reminiscent of a stylish, uptown New York bar and we were completely spoilt for choice regarding the vast list of cocktails and drinks on offer, plus the most sumptuous canapes I've possible ever eaten. Open till 2.30am on weekdays and 4.30am on weekends and with an extensive selection of drinks and eatery, there is no place better to spend your evenings this festive season.
