BE CAREFUL

WHO YOU TRUST

I realIse I was quite naive when I

started out in this business. There have

been moments in my life when I’ve been

distracted, when I’ve strayed from my

path. When I was on TV in the UK on

The Big Breakfast, I didn’t realise some

people were being nice to me as they

thought it would help their careers.

In 2014, I moved to los angeles where

I was cast in a sitcom called One Big

Happy. I’m a fan of self-help books so

you can imagine that there was no

shortage of reading matter in la.

I’ll never forget something I read in

one of them — it’s something I’ve always

found helpful. It said: ‘love many. Trust

few. always paddle your own canoe.’

The one

lesson I’ve

learned

from life

Kelly Brook

Radio presenter

Those words resonated with me because

they reminded me to be a little cautious

about the people in whom I place

my trust.

I like to think I’m a loving and open

person. But I tended to trust everybody.

as I moved into my 30s, I came to realise

that was a mistake. I’m particularly

thinking of members of the opposite sex.

I had a series of boyfriends who professed

their undying love then cheated on me.

I was guilty of giving people the benefit

of the doubt, so I wasn’t doing enough to

protect my own interests. I hope I’ve

always been kind, but you can forget to

be kind to yourself.

Being too nice can rebound on you.

Certainly, jealousy can play its part. I

think people sometimes want what

you’ve got.

I come from a normal, working-class

background and was taught a proper set

of values by my parents. It’s why my

boyfriend Jeremy and I get on so well. He

has a successful career but, like me, he

values structure and a settled life.

We’ve got the most beautiful garden

you could imagine, a lovely home life,

fantastic jobs. I could be out at a party

every night but those days are gone. I’m

now at my happiest when I’m pottering

about in my garden — and with five

acres that means quite a lot of pottering!

I’m paddling my canoe towards the

sunset; that’s my goal now.

The women who look better now than ever before

THEN & WOWLIZ HURLEY

HURLEY’S wispy fringe

and voluminous top-knot

was a classic style in 1989,

in the days before she

became a model. But it

emphasises her heavy

brows, which dominate

her face. Her make-up is

too nude to balance this

bold look.

AGE 24 AGE 54

TODAY, the model and

actress is glowing, with

bronzed skin and a

dazzling smile — her

teeth are whiter, and

lips seem fuller. Brows

are toned down, offset

by a darker eyeliner, and

her centre parting is far

more flattering.

PRETTY

PETALS

LORALS are already a

ummer wardrobe staple —

ut one bloom in particular

having its time in the sun.

With its velvety texture and

ensual shape, the rose has

ambled onto the High

treet from the catwalk,

where Valentino’s strong

lhouettes and Dolce &

Gabbana’s accessories were

covered in lavish buds.

You can find silk blouses

adorned with roses at The

Kooples, and asymmetric

midi skirts at Reserved.

And this season, don’t be

afraid to mix your florals to

give them a modern twist.
