RICHARD KAY: Zara Phillips moves back in with her mother

Five months after the thrill of winning a team silver medal in the Olympics, the Queen's granddaughter Zara Phillips is turning her attention to matters domestic — moving home to mother.
She and her rugby star husband Mike Tindall have sold their white stucco marital home in Cheltenham and are planning to live at Princess Anne's Gatcombe Park estate near Minchinhampton, about 20 miles away.
The couple's £1.2 million house has been quietly on the market for some time and has now been purchased, I learn, by Shaun Wills, finance director of clothing company Superdry.

The move makes sense for Zara  because she already stables her horses at Gatcombe and it's where she trains both racehorses and her three-day eventers.
She and Tindall bought the detached house, which is on a main road but set back in its own grounds, before their July 2011 wedding.
And although some were surprised they had opted for a house in a town with no special security arrangements, the couple liked its proportions and also wanted to lead as ordinary a life as possible.
At one stage Tindall's rugby-playing pal Ollie Phillips became their lodger.
However, Zara has always kept the home she previously lived in on her mother's estate.

And while the Princess Royal will be delighted that she has decided to move back, it's going to make things a little crowded. Zara's brother Peter, his wife Autumn and their two daughters are already living there.
However, not too crowded because Zara says she and Tindall have no immediate plans to start a family.
'Before we got married, everyone was like: “When are you going to get married?” Then as soon as we were, it was: “When are you having kids?” ' she said. 'In the future we'll see what happens, but we're not, sort of, putting a date down.'
Zara was speaking in Australia for Magic Millions, the Aussie organisation which promotes women's involvement in racing.
There will be no race to the maternity stakes with her cousin's wife, the Duchess of Cambridge. Kate 'can win that one', says Zara.

Silver Bridal Shoes Leading Fashion Weddding



Weddings happen only once in every person's life. Since this is the case, it would be nice to have this very special day to be perfect. And with the desire for perfection, women would tend to want to look their best during this event. The first thing that brides would take into consideration would be their appearance. They would spend hours having their makeups and hair done. It wouldn't be uncommon for them to hire professionals to apply the makeups and to do their hairs on this day. If looking beautiful is their goal, then having someone with extensive knowledge on the craft of making you beautiful will provide a generally big help. Next to having thier hair and makeup done, brides would usually spend a lot of money on bridal gowns. The fashion styles of these gowns have wide variations. Materials, designs, themes and sometimes even shades of white will define the differences of the gown's designs. But ultimately, what all these gowns have in common would be their elegance and class.

Silver Bridal Shoes are one of these accessories that are taken into account. One of the most elegant and classy color of bridal shoes that most brides would consider wearing during their special day would be silver. Silver bridal shoes would match any white gown or dress that they would wear this day. They would be the most beautiful accent and accessory she would be wearing on that once in a lifetime event. Most brides will decide on high-heeled shoes simply because they do not want their dress to sweep the floor. However, if you have a flat shoes with a tiny heel this could provide you with comfort whilst walking, dancing or just basically enable you to make it through the entire ceremony without any form of discomfort.

Your wedding day is naturally one of the most treasured moments of your life, so it is understandably that you want everything to be perfect for this big day. Most people think that brides have to wear beautiful high-heeled shoes along with the ideal stocking with their jewelry and gowns, which is quite obvious from the features in fashion magazines. But, the simple fact is that most brides opt to be dressed in flat bridal shoes as opposed to Silver Bridal Shoes.

She added: 'I don't think that's a good thing for society. If we're trying to move things forward, a drug like marijuana does the opposite. It will slow things down.'
And Boston University student Culpo, who beat 88 other beauty queens to take the title during a two-hour competition at the Planet Hollywood casino on the Las Vegas Strip, isn't the first Miss Universe who is against the drug.
California girl Alyssa Campanella, who took last year's crown, also conveyed her anti-marijuana legalisation stance in the final rounds of the 2011 Miss USA pageant.

Which Bridal Headpiece is Right For You?



When it comes to planning out your wedding day, it is important for brides and grooms to work together so that they can plan an event that reflects who they both are as a couple. Entering into a marriage is about setting aside selfish needs and putting each other first.
That goes for a lot of things on your wedding day: the cake, the colors, and the venue. But when it comes to deciding on what a bride is going to be wearing on her big day, it the decision is all her own.

One thing many brides-to-be don't realize before they start planning their wedding is that there is a lot more to a bridal ensemble than just the perfect dress. Trying to figure everything out at once can be a bit overwhelming, so when you are coordinating your outfit it can sometimes be easiest to start at the top.

This could entail any number of lovely bridal headpieces. Traditionally, a simple veil is what a bride wears on her wedding day. But today veils fall into their own separate category. They can be added and matched to different headpieces or they can be done without completely.
Part of picking out a headpiece is deciding what kind of person you are and what type of wedding you want to have. Consider these options and don't be afraid to try on something that isn't normally "you."

Teen Mom Farrah Abraham reveals her post-surgery bikini body during sunshine break with daughter Sophia

She's spent too much money perfecting her bikini body to hide it away.
And as Teen Mom's Farrah Abraham rang in the new year at Disney World in Orlando, Florida, she seemed keen to show off the results of her extensive plastic surgery.
The 21-year-old single mother went under the knife in October to have her chin and nose altered - costing a reported $16,000 - and prior to that forked out $5,000 for a breast enlargement.

She went from a petite A cup to a busty C cup in a bid to make her feel 'more confident', she said.
Whatever the reason, Farrah was happy to show off her body as she larked about in the pool with her three-year-old daughter Sophia.
Farrah wore a mismatched bikini - a cerise push up top and animal print bottoms.
She spent New Year's Eve with Sophia and her family at the resort and wrote on her Sulia page: 'I read Disney World is one of the best places if not the best to be for NYE firework show.
'That's where my family is almost every year, so this year you can find us there and in the best of the best spots for fireworks!'

Afterwards she wrote:  "I LOVE TODAY!!!!" You have no idea!
'I feel NYE is the launch of the most funnest time of my life every year, I feel like I'm being spontaneous in a way.'
Farrah starred in the original MTV reality show 16 & Pregnant in 2009m then it's spin off Teen Mom.
She released the single On My Own and Finally Getting Up From Rock Bottom - as well as a memoir, My Teenage Dream Ended, which reached the New York Times bestseller list. 

Not stranger to the knife: Farrah has also had breast augmentation changing her natural A cup to a C cup

Farrah has also recently written a children's book entitled Passy Perfume, about a little girl’s journey to give up her pacifier with the promise of perfume when she kicks her dummy to the curb.
The book, which is released on Tuesday December 11, is another new project for Farrah, who has just moved to Los Angeles to further her dreams of stardom. 
She is also finalising a deal for her own MTV spin-off show, explaining that: 'It's going be about me and my life.'
The father of Sophia, Derek Underwood, was tragically killed in a car crash just two months before the little girl was born.
