P.S. We’re currently experiencing issues with adding new albums/photos to the gallery. As soon as we figure it out and fix it all new photos will be added.

So I wasn’t planning on putting this up until our anniversary (March 10), but I have other plans in store for the big day and to be honest, I couldn’t wait to show off this beautiful new design by my amazing friend Meghan, designer at Melted-Butterfly. I don’t even know what to say except, Thank you Meg!!! This design is a dream come true, sounds a little cheesy, but I never thought I’d ever own my own fansite let alone have one of your original designs on it. I really love it and hope everyone else does too.

Aside from all the London Fashion Week excitement, we’ve just heard some more thrilling news and it’d be rude not to share it with you. Minutes ago, we received a phonecall revealing that Victoria’s Secret is launching a – wait for it – FULL cosmetics line! Yes, our favourite undies brand has answered our prayers with a gorgeous range of makeup, with everything from lipbalms and eyeliners to matte lipsticks and much more. And who better to discuss our excitement with that ridiculously gorgeous Victoria’s Secret Angel, Candice Swanepoel. She dished on her beauty habits, fitness and health tips as well as her favourite products so read on and don’t forget to check out her hottest moments in the gallery above. PHWOAR!

Grazia Daily: What’s the best beauty advice you’ve ever been given?
Candice Swanepoel: I’ve always been taught that you’re never too young to take care of your skin. Everything from the food you eat to what you put on your face is important. I lead a healthy lifestyle and get all my vitamins from the food I eat. I supplement that with my skincare routine of cleansing, toning and moisturising.

Grazia Daily: What’s the best thing about being a Victoria’s Secret girl?
Candice Swanepoel: The best thing is probably the beautiful beaches we get to shoot on. We recently went to St. Barts and Tulum, and they are some of the most breath-taking places on earth. We shoot with really amazing teams and we’ve become like a family. My best Victoria’s Secret moment to date was when they did a special segment about me for the 2012 Fashion Show – it was really a significant moment for me!

Grazia Daily: What do you need to have to be a Victoria’s Secret girl?
Candice Swanepoel: For me, it’s about having a love for life and being confident. Having a positive attitude and being healthy are also qualities that Victoria’s Secret Angels have. Being an Angel is different than other modeling jobs because you have to be a spokesperson as well. It’s a lot more challenging than it looks!

Grazia Daily: What are your favourite beauty products and treatments?
Candice Swanepoel: My favourite thing I use daily is a really simple tea tree oil face wash that has green tea in it. I am never without my Victoria’s Secret Lip Scrub and Balm – the scrub is a really nice exfoliator and the balm soothes my lips. I make sure I have a facial one week before the Victoria’s Secret show as I find it really helps to make my skin glow and look more radiant. I’m also loving the new Victoria’s Secret Fabulous fragrance, I’ve been wearing the Eau De Parfum as it’s such a lovely, wearable scent.

Grazia Daily: What’s your top tip for glowing skin?
Candice Swanepoel: For me, it comes down to eating healthily to make my skin look it’s best. Good skin comes from within and I make sure I eat nutrient-rich foods like fish, lots of veggies, nuts and foods that contain omega and are rich in oils. I also adore avocado and goji berries, so I eat those daily. They have fantastic skin-boosting benefits! Every now and then I love having a cheat meal, and if I were to have one right now it would be a delicious pulled pork sandwich!

Grazia Daily: What’s your secret to feeling confident in your underwear and bikini?
Candice Swanepoel: I think that when you feel fit and healthy you also feel confident in yourself. The two go hand-in-hand. I take really good care of my body and that is the fastest way for me to feel good about myself.

Grazia Daily: What has been your latest shopping splurge?
Candice Swanepoel: I don’t often get the chance to shop since I am so busy, but my biggest splurges recently have been furniture. I am really into well designed pieces and love beautiful objects for my home. I would love to buy myself a gorgeous new Chanel bag -oh and something from Cartier would be nice too!

Grazia Daily: How would you describe your off-duty style?
Candice Swanepoel: My off duty style is very casual and comfortable. I like to look chic so I love to buy simple pieces to wear day to day. I travel a lot and am constantly on planes so I tend to go for easy cotton pieces and team them with killer accessories to luxe it up a bit. I do love how daring London girls are with their fashion, they always look amazing.

Eating chocolate in your underwear is a pretty good way to pass the time — and it seems Victoria’s Secret Angels (including Karlie Kloss, Lily Aldrige and Candice Swanepoel) agree with us on that count. In this cute video, the lingerie-clad supermodels indulge in treats from the seven-piece Vosges Haut Chocolate collection, which you can get free in Victoria’s Secret stores with any purchase over $75. And because we wanted more dirt on how an Angel spends Valentine’s Day, we spoke with the lovely Swanepoel about how she likes to celebrate.

Q: Have you ever had a bad Valentine’s Day?
A: I have been disappointed before, but I think every girl has been at some point or another.

Q: Lingerie, chocolate or flowers?
A: Any of those are great. I like surprises! I do love flowers and chocolates though — they’re just a nice, simple treat.

Q: How would a single Angel celebrate Valentine’s Day?
A: I’ve spent it alone before. I like to treat myself to a spa visit! It’s relaxing and sometimes it’s nice to have that quiet time.

Q: Chocolate + prix fixe dinner + wine = possible romance killer. How does one fake a hot bod after all that indulging?
A: I think any lingerie from Victoria’s Secret makes any woman feel and look sexy! One of my favorites is the Very Sexy push-up bra.

Yes, you read that right. And no, this isn’t a weird dream. The disarmingly gorgeous Victoria’s Secret model, Candice Swanepoel, made two public appearances over the weekend where she cozied up to the Axe Astronaut on the red carpet.

Like the correlating Super Bowl ad, the promotional stunt was just a reminder that “Nothing beats an astronaut.” While the commercial debuted to mixed reviews (we’re not really into the whole damsel in distress bit, either), we can’t help but enjoy these snapshots of Ms. Swanepoel.

Why? Well, first of all, she wore two incredible dresses—a fitted LBD with a zippered slit followed by a lace applique number with a sheer bodice. Secondly, what’s not to love about a model who doesn’t take themselves too seriously to publicly canoodle a man in a fake space suit?
