“The past few weeks has been a very trying time for Nigerians, especially the families of over 200 girls kidnapped in Borno state.
But beyond the sadness and despair we feel about the abduction of these girls, the incident has united Nigeria in an unprecedented way and proved what we can achieve through a united effort. We have all raised our voices against this injustice, sparing no means to express ourselves.
What began as a social media campaign initiated by a few concerned individuals has erupted to a global one with people across the world lending their voice to the cause. You would have to be living in a cave not to have heard of #BringBackOurGirls.
Celebrities, leaders, media personalities, youths and regular citizens across the world have lent their voice to this campaign and through our collective effort, the situation is now getting the media attention it deserves.
It is sad that it took this long to gather this momentum, but, better late than never. The noose is tightening on the abductors of these innocent girls and I am very hopeful that they would be found soon and returned to their homes where they belong.
We all deserve the right to be protected. And we must continue demand for change and value for our lives as Nigerians. Praying for positive feedback and the safety of our girls #BringBackOurGirls!”

Tee Billz – “My prayer is for anyone who is at this very moment struggling with things beyond their own control. My prayer is a cry to the LORD asking for His arms of protection to fall on each one of the girls Whatever their struggle this day, Lord, I pray You will reveal Your purposes in that struggle, and I ask You to comfort and sustain them. In faith we await our girls. #BringBackOurGirls #WeWantOurGirls #GodisAble”

Do the tartan trend with a cute backpack by Mipac!


The Little Mix girls are back in the UK after what seems like months away touring in the states. It's good to have them back on our shores. It means we can keep an obsessive fashion eye trained on them at all times.

Birdwatching: breeze your way into summer in an avian inspired dress

Angelina Jolie is certainly adhering to the theme of her fairytale movie, Maleficent. Not only is she wearing a pair of swan heeled Christian Louboutin pumps but she's also decked out in a bird print dress by Atelier Versace.

It kind of reminds Fashion Finder of something out of Alfred Hitchcocks's horror flick The Birds with those bare thorny branches but there's no denying that Jolie looks stunning in it.

The cut is a super clever one as the asymmetric knot detailing at the waist is a new take on the bias - known for its flattering properties.

In order not to look like a wicked step-mother though, we advise that you choose a slightly more friendly avian print this summer.

The ASOS wrap dress is sweet and chic and the wrap detailing works to similar effect as a bias in slimming the midriff.

Earn your style stripes in a chic dress like Irina Shayk


If we ever needed any more proof that Irina Shayk was a beauty from another world, her rolling around in the sand sans bikini top was it. Oh and she also looks a total babe when even in the simplest of T-shirt dresses too. Not. Fair.

Here the Russian model is looking effortlessly stylish in this striped asymmetric wrap-effect dress from Bec & Bridge.

Stripes are eternally chic and can be found heavily within our year-round capsule closets but for a new-season approach to the timeless trend we'll be wearing the nautical theme in dress form like Irina has here.

Unfortunately for us however, her Bec & Bridge dress has now sold-out from Saks so why not shop the look with our similar buys below?

Katie Price accuses the cousin of Prince Harry's ex girlfriend Cressida Bonas of having affair with husband Kieran

Katie Price feared her husband was having 'a second affair' - this time with the cousin of Prince Harry's ex girlfriend Cressida Bonas, it was reported today.
The former glamour model announced the end of her third marriage on Twitter this week amid claims husband Kieran Hayler had a fling with her best friend, Jane Pountney.
But it was reported today that Miss Price has since confronted a second alleged love rival, 24-year-old April Bonas, over rumours of another affair in the build up to their marriage.
April Bonas, the cousin of Prince Harry's ex girlfriend was reportedly accused of having an affair with Katie Price's husband Kieran Hayler

The Sun reported six-months-pregnant Miss Price, 35, phoned Miss Bonas asking if she had been seeing Mr Hayler, 27, behind her back shortly before their wedding in January last year.
The paper said that, in the phone conversation, Miss Bonas admitted to a fling with ex-stripper Mr Hayler, but insisted it was before he and Miss Price got together.
A source told the paper: 'Katie quizzed April about everything she knew about what Kieran was doing before their wedding. It was clear she still had some suspicions but she believed April.'
Miss Bonas, who is planning a career as a model, is the cousin of Cressida Bonas, 25, who split from Prince Harry, 29, last week after a two-year relationship.
This morning she was unavailable for comment, and MailOnline can not verify whether the reports are true. Miss Price's spokesmen said they would not be commenting on the claims.
A friend of Miss Bonas said the aspiring DJ and classically trained singer was reluctant to speak out about the claims, having been 'dropped' into a media storm.

hirtless Harry Styles ALMOST suffers a wardrobe malfunction as he soaks up the sun with One Direction band-mates in Rio

They’re currently in Brazil as they continue to work, or rather sing, their way through the South American leg of their epic Where We Are stadium tour.
But while the One Direction boys have a long way to go before they conclude proceedings with a final show in Miami on October 5, they took advantage of their sunny surrounds on Thursday by letting their hair down – and taking their shirts off – on the grounds of their luxury hotel. 
However, tattooed Harry Styles almost revealed a little more than expected as he relaxed with band-mates Liam Payne and Zayn Malik.

Indeed, the tousle-haired star tugged at his soaked shorts after taking a dip in the pool outside Rio De Janeiro's Fasano Hotel, but appeared to pull a little too hard - giving onlookers a flash of his groin in the process.
Catching the eye as always, Harry showed off his growing collection of inkings, his long hair tied in a messy ponytail as he ventured into the water once more.
The singer also revealed two new additions in the form of matching branches on his hips.
Shirtless Harry was in typically high spirits while he and his two band-mates soaked up the sun ahead of their opening Rio show at the Brazilian capital’s Parque Olimpico.

The Bradford born star – engaged to Little Mix singer Perrie Edwards – also showed off an increasingly toned upper body, the result of rigorous pre-show workouts.
