Last Easter, just minutes after my student loan had been deposited into my bank account, I decided to go shopping (anybody who knows me will not find this remotely surprising, but I urge you to continue reading!) Anyway, among other things, I stumbled upon this rather delightful floral print dress in Topshop which I instantly fell in love with - a love affair which reached even dizzier heights when...

Red Carpet Heidi Klum shows off her post-pregnancy figure wearing a black Roberto Cavalli tiered chiffon dress with asymmetrical strap with a paillette trim.

However, as the Wikipedia article...
