			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/wags-boutique/">WAGs Boutique</a> &#8211; Final Score</strong></p>
<p><img align="left" title="WAGs Boutique Update - Episode 4" id="image261" alt="WAGs Boutique Update - Episode 4" src="http://www.wags-blog.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/02/udate.jpg" />This week&#8217;s episode reveals who is the winner of <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/wags-boutique/">WAGs Boutique</a>.  The show moves out of the boutiques and into the studio as the girls join <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/june-sarpong/">June Sarpong</a>.</p>
<p>But before we find out who is the winning <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/wags-boutique/">WAGs Boutique</a>, there is one challenge left to win.</p>
<p>As the score is 5 all, both teams have everything to play for and this week&#8217;s challenge required all 10 ten WAGs to sell the remaining stock, they also had to have a WAGs&#8217; walk-off, modelling 2 outfits each on the catwalk..</p>
<p>With Bows winning last week&#8217;s challenge they have a slight advantage as they have &pound;1,000 worth of football kits to sell, which is proving to be a big hit, especially <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/michaela-henderson-thynne/">Michaela&#8217;s</a> kit.</p>
<p>Meanwhile at Better Half, <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/jadene-bircham/">Jadene </a>is so impressed with a canine customer that she phones her husband Marc to ask for a dog.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/wags-boutique/">WAGs Boutique</a> &#8211; Fashion Show</strong></p>
<p>With one more chance to sell the last of their stock, the WAGs get ready for the fashion show with their mentors on hand to provide some tips for their WAG walk-off!</p>
<p>The girls parade themselves down the catwalk, but half way through Better Half start to play dirty and throw a banana skin on the catwalk, which backfires on them as <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/charlotte-meares/">Charlotte </a>nearly slips on it.</p>
<p>Next day at the shops, the girls realise this is their last day working together as a team and most end up in tears as they close the shops for good.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/wags-boutique/">WAGs Boutique</a> &#8211; Challenge Results </strong></p>
<p>Back in the studio, <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/june-sarpong/">June </a>reveals the results of this week&#8217;s challenge, Bows sold &pound;22,764.88, but Better Half sell a total of &pound;24,658.02<span style="font-size: 10pt"><span style="font-size: 10pt"><span style="font-size: 10pt"><span style="font-size: 10pt"><span style="font-size: 10pt"><span style="font-size: 10pt"><span style="font-size: 10pt"><span style="font-size: 10pt"><span style="font-size: 10pt"><span style="font-size: 10pt"><span style="font-size: 10pt"><span style="font-size: 10pt"><span style="font-size: 10pt"><span style="font-size: 10pt"><span style="font-size: 10pt"><span style="font-size: 10pt"><span style="font-size: 10pt"><span style="font-size: 10pt"><span style="font-size: 10pt"><span style="font-size: 10pt"><span style="font-size: 10pt"><span style="font-size: 10pt"><span style="font-size: 10pt" /></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><span style="font-size: 10pt"><span style="font-size: 10pt"><span style="font-size: 10pt"><span style="font-size: 10pt"><span style="font-size: 10pt"><span style="font-size: 10pt"><span style="font-size: 10pt"><span style="font-size: 10pt"><span style="font-size: 10pt"><span style="font-size: 10pt"><span style="font-size: 10pt"><span style="font-size: 10pt"><span style="font-size: 10pt"><span style="font-size: 10pt"><span style="font-size: 10pt"><span style="font-size: 10pt"><span style="font-size: 10pt"><span style="font-size: 10pt"><span style="font-size: 10pt" /></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span>, making them this week&#8217;s winners and adding a total of &pound;47,422.90 to their grand total.</p>
<p>With this win Better Half are the leaders of the challenges with 6-5, but there are still two titles to be revealed.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/wags-boutique/">WAGs Boutique</a> &#8211; Most Popular WAG</strong></p>
<p>With the challenge now out the way, it was time to reveal the viewers most popular WAG -<a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/krystell-sidwell/"> Krystell Sidwell</a> and she won her own column in <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/" />Reveal magazine! WOW &#8211; more work!<br />
<strong><a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/wags-boutique/">WAGs Boutique</a> &#8211; Winning </strong><strong><a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/wags-boutique/">WAGs Boutique</a></strong></p>
<p>Now it is time to find out who has won the crown of winning boutique, with a total profit of &pound;320,916.77 the winner is Bows.</p>
<p>As Bows are the winners of <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/WAGs Boutique">WAGs Boutique</a> all the profit from both boutiques go to their charity Great Ormond Street hospital, who will receive a total of &pound;362,529.88. Amazing!</p>
<p>Unfortunately, this is now the end of <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/WAGs Boutique">WAGs Boutique</a>, well for this series anyway.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/wags-boutique/">WAGs Boutique</a> &#8211; The Football Challenge</strong></p>
<p><img align="left" alt="WAGs Boutique Update - Episode 4" id="image261" title="WAGs Boutique Update - Episode 4" src="http://www.wags-blog.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/02/udate.jpg" />Better Half is currently in the lead by 5 wins to 4, so the tension was high in both boutiques this week.</p>
<p>This week&#8217;s challenge was set by fashion editor for The Telegraph, Hilary Alexander. This week the WAGs are required to design their own football kits, which they will model and play 5-a-side football in! Watch out other half&#8217;s!!</p>
<p>The manager&#8217;s picked this week were <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/jadene-bircham/">Jadene </a>for Better Half and <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/michaela-henderson-thynne/">Michaela </a>for Bows.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/wags-boutique/">WAGs Boutique</a> &#8211; The Challenge</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/jadene-bircham/">Jadene </a>picks <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/heather-swan/">Heather</a> and <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/cassie-sumner/">Cassie</a> for the challenge (&#8216;because <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/heather-swan/">Heather</a> is great at design and Cassie hasn&#8217;t won a challenge.&#8217;). <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/michaela-henderson-thynne/">Michaela </a>chooses <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/julie-phillips/">Julie</a> and <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/nicola-tappenden/">Nicola T</a> for Bows.</p>
<p>The girls go off to start designing their football kits. <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/cassie-sumner/">Cassie</a> and <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/heather-swan/">Heather</a> decide on a white kit with the Better Half logo and hot pant-style shorts. Bows select a blue strip with gold sash, draw-string bottoms and pink diamantes.<br />
<strong><br />
<a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/wags-boutique/">WAGs Boutique</a> &#8211; Back at the boutiques</strong></p>
<p>Manager <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/michaela-henderson-thynne/">Michaela</a> decides to get some more stock for the Bows and makes three appointments with wholesalers. <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/krystell-sidwell/">Krystell </a>says: &#8216;<a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/michaela-henderson-thynne/">Michaela</a> works well when she is in charge. She&#8217;s only a problem when she isn&#8217;t the manager!&#8217; However, later that day <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/michaela-henderson-thynne/">Michaela</a> cuts her stock buying short and decides to go shopping instead, which doesn&#8217;t impress her employees!</p>
<p>Meanwhile at Better Half, manager <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/jadene-bircham/">Jadene </a>has decided to hold a sale to try and get rid of some of their stock and raise even more money for charity.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/madeleine-bowden/">Madeleine</a> also gave <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/michaela-henderson-thynne/">Michaela</a> a taste of her own medicine, as she was the one to play up this week!!</p>
<p>Back on the Challenge, both teams receive their kits and get to work to make them look glamourous and sexy.  Bows have a little bit of drama, as their sowing machine explodes on them, leaving them a little shaken up with <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/nicola-tappenden/">Nicola</a> saying: &#8220;<a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/julie-phillips/">Julie</a> that could have killed you&#8221;. They do continue and finally the kits are ready.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/wags-boutique/">WAGs Boutique</a> &#8211; Bows v Better Half football match</strong></p>
<p>Sunday arrives and its time to complete the challenge with a game of 5-a-side. <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/jadene-bircham/">Jadene </a>and <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/julie-phillips/">Julie</a>&#8217;s other halves, Marc Bircham and Kevin Phillips volunteer to manage the two teams. Marc sets his first rule &#8211; no lipstick until half time!</p>
<p>The match kicks off and Better Half is the first to score with a goal from <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/charlotte-meares/">Charlotte</a>, but Better Half doesn&#8217;t stop there as they win by 4-0 (with <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/charlotte-meares/">Charlotte</a> scoring 3 goals, proving she&#8217;s not just a pretty face).</p>
<p>As the full time whistle blows, its now time to find out this week&#8217;s winners.</p>
<p>Hilary Alexander provides her views on the two kits, and even though Better Half win the football game, it is Bows who impress her the most, making the score even.</p>
<p>Their prize is to see the Barnet Ladies FC sport the Bows&#8217; strip. They also receive &pound;1,000 of kit to sell in their boutique.</p>
<p>Now with the score 5 all and only 1 week to go, everything is to play for in <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/wags-boutique/">WAGs Boutique</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/wags-boutique/">WAGs Boutique</a> &#8211; 3 weeks until the winners are revealed </strong></p>
<p><img align="left" title="WAGs Boutique Update - Episode 4" id="image261" alt="WAGs Boutique Update - Episode 4" src="http://www.wags-blog.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/02/udate.jpg" />With only 3 weeks to go until the winners of <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/wags-boutique/">WAGs Boutique</a> is declared, the score stands at 4-3 to Better Half, so Bows are feeling the pressure.</p>
<p>This week&#8217;s challenge was set by Kitty Klaw, an international burlesque performer. The challenge this week is – to model, perform and auction burlesque garments, watched by the prominent movers and shakers of the burlesque world. The team that makes the most profit from the auction and what they sell in their boutiques on Saturday will be the winners.</p>
<p>The managers picked this week are <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/charlotte-meares/">Charlotte </a>from Better Half and <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/krystell-sidwell/">Krystelle </a>from Bows, but there is a twist.</p>
<p>Before the teams go off to get started, it is revealed that <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/lyn-gardner/">Lyn </a>and <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/anna-park/">Anna </a>will actually be the managers this week and <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/charlotte-meares/">Charlotte </a>and <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/krystell-sidwell/">Krystell </a>are the assistant managers. Leaving the girls shocked and unhappy.</p>
<p>The managers choose the girls for the challenge &#8211; <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/cassie-sumner/">Cassie </a>and <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/jadene-bircham/">Jadene </a>for Better Half and <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/madeleine-bowden/">Madeleine </a>and <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/michaela-henderson-thynne/">Michaela </a>for Bows.</p>
<p>Both teams head back to the boutiques, and the mentor&#8217;s intent to restore order to the stores. <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/anna-park/">Anna </a>wants to get Bows&#8217; customers to leave with more than one item each, whilst <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/lyn-gardner/">Lyn </a>has a stricter regime for Better Half with penalties for the girls who fail to work hard.</p>
<p>The mentors also decide to stop selling the charity tops in store and turn the stores into fashion boutiques again (charity items can still be purchased online from 13th April &#8211; <a href="http://wags.itv.com/index.php">click here</a>).</p>
<p><a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/wags-boutique/">WAGs Boutique</a> &#8211; Preparing for the challenge</p>
<p><a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/michaela-henderson-thynne/">Michaela </a>and <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/cassie-sumner/">Cassie </a>get into their costumes, while <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/madeleine-bowden/">Madeleine </a>and <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/jadene-bircham/">Jadene </a>watch trying not to laugh. The girls only have a short time to learn their routines, so they have to concentrate, which is usually quite difficult for <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/michaela-henderson-thynne/">Michaela</a>!!</p>
<p>Once the girls are ready they head for the stage, Bows go first and <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/michaela-henderson-thynne/">Michaela </a>starts her performance while <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/madeleine-bowden/">Madeleine </a>leads the auction, the bidding is slow and the girls have to work hard to sell their costume.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/cassie-sumner/">Cassie </a>then performs with <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/jadene-bircham/">Jadene </a>running the auction, they seem to have more success and win the first part of the challenge.</p>
<p>However, there are still more items to sell in the boutiques on Saturday.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/wags-boutique/">WAGs Boutique</a> &#8211; Back at the boutiques</p>
<p><a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/lyn-gardner/">Lyn </a>is having trouble at Better Half and struggles to control <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/cassie-sumner/">Cassie </a>and <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/charlotte-meares/">Charlotte </a>as they disappear into Bows. <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/lyn-gardner/">Lyn </a>threatens to close the store if they don&#8217;t return.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/anna-park/">Anna </a>feels sorry for <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/lyn-gardner/">Lyn</a>, so sends the girls back to their boutiques.<br />
<a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/wags-boutique/"><br />
WAGs Boutique</a> – Challenge Results</p>
<p>The girls arrive at head quarters to find out this week&#8217;s results. The mentors give their feedback, and as you would expect <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/lyn-gardner/">Lyn </a>wasn&#8217;t too impressed by Better Half&#8217;s behaviour. But, <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/anna-park/">Anna </a>is delighted and says how fantastic her team is.</p>
<p>Kitty Klaw reveals the profits of the auction and sales in the boutiques and declares Bows as this week&#8217;s winners. Making the score now 4-4.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/june-sarpong/">June </a>also reveals that there is no manager&#8217;s vote next week and the mentors are asked to pick two girls from each team to do next week&#8217;s challenge.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/charlotte-meares/">Charlotte </a>and <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/jadene-bircham/">Jadene </a>are picked for Better Half and <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/krystell-sidwell/">Krystelle </a>and <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/michaela-henderson-thynne/">Michaela </a>for Bows. They are also told they will need their passports.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/wags-boutique/">WAGs Boutique</a> &#8211; Design a Celebrity Dress</strong></p>
<p><img align="left" alt="WAGs Boutique Update - Episode 4" id="image261" title="WAGs Boutique Update - Episode 4" src="http://www.wags-blog.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/02/udate.jpg" />This week&#8217;s challenge was given by Celebrity fashion designer Scott Henshall. The girls&#8217; challenge this week is to design a red carpet dress for a secret celebrity. The winning team will see their design worn by their celebrity at an awards ceremony.</p>
<p>The manager&#8217;s picked this week were <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/cassie-sumner/">Cassie </a>for Better Half and <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/michaela-henderson-thynne/">Michaela </a>for Bows. <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/cassie-sumner/">Cassie </a>chooses <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/heather-swan/">Heather </a>and <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/charlotte-meares/">Charlotte </a>for the challenge and <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/michaela-henderson-thynne/">Michaela </a>selects herself (what a surprise) and <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/julie-phillips/">Julie</a>.</p>
<p>The girls head off to meet their secret celebrity. As <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/michaela-henderson-thynne/">Michaela </a>and <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/julie-phillips/">Julie </a>arrive at Yorkshire TV, and they guess their celebrity is a soap star and they are right on target.</p>
<p>Their celebrity is Emmerdale star Adele Silva. Adele informs them of her preferences, something flattering for a smaller frame, quite fitted and definitely not neon&#8230;! The WAGs go off to impress the designer Mustafa, who will be making the dress, with their skills.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/heather-swan/">Heather </a>and <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/charlotte-meares/">Charlotte </a>head off the next day (as their celebrity was busy on Thursday) finding themselves on the set of Coronation Street, it is clear that they also have a soap star, actress Tupele Dorgu who says that she wants strong colours, the total opposite to Adele.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/wags-boutique/">WAGs Boutique</a> &#8211; Back at the boutiques</strong></p>
<p>Back at the boutiques, <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/nicola-tappenden/">Nicola T</a> had been feeling a bit sad as she was missing her boyfriend Bobby Zamora too much, so her mum came to the boutique for a visit to cheer her up.</p>
<p>Meanwhile at Better Half, <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/cassie-sumner/">Cassie </a>&#8216;The Decision Maker&#8217; has decided to host a sale for all stock proving difficult to sell. With the organising to do, she closes an hour early to get the shop prepared.</p>
<p>Better Half have also realised it&#8217;s <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/elle-isaac/">Elle&#8217;s</a> birthday soon so they get two strip-o-grams in to surprise her. Very embarrassing for <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/elle-isaac/">Elle</a>, but very funny.</p>
<p>With <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/michaela-henderson-thynne/">Michaela </a>having the role of manager this week, she decides to take advantage and leaves the shop early, leaving <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/madeleine-bowden/">Madeleine </a>and <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/julie-phillips/">Julie </a>to serve hundreds of queuing customers. What a great manager!!</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/wags-boutique/">WAGs Boutique</a> &#8211; Challenge Results</strong></p>
<p>With both dresses now completed the girls head off to receive their feedback and results.</p>
<p>Adele is the first to enter and is in a beautiful fitted corset dress with floating skirt, which was elegant, stylish and totally sexy in flattering nude tones.</p>
<p>Then Tupele appears in a bright pink and orange chiffon dress with mirror belt.</p>
<p>Scott reveals that both dresses are great but he can only choose one winner, he picks Better Half &#8211; although personally I would have chosen Bows design as it was gorgeous.</p>
<p>The prize this week is to attend a premiere party and they are given some of Scott Henshall&#8217;s own couture collection to sell in their boutique.</p>
<p>With Better Half now in the lead, will Bows be able to catch up, you&#8217;ll have to wait until next week to find out.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t miss the next episode of <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/wags-boutique/">WAGs Boutique</a> &#8211; Tuesday on ITV2 at 9pm.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/wags-boutique/">WAGs Boutique</a> &#8211; The Vintage Challenge</strong></p>
<p><img align="left" alt="WAGs Boutique Update - Episode 4" id="image261" title="WAGs Boutique Update - Episode 4" src="http://www.wags-blog.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/02/udate.jpg" />This week&#8217;s challenge was to choose vintage clothes to sell at Portobello Market. With a total of 172 items, both teams have to pick 86 items each to sell on their stall.</p>
<p>The managers picked this week were <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/julie-phillips/">Julie Philips</a> for Bows and <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/charlotte-meares/">Charlotte Mears</a> for Better Half. As usual, the managers pick two girls from their team to do the challenge, <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/julie-phillips/">Julie</a> picks <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/nicola-tappenden/">Nicola</a> and <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/krystell-sidwell/">Krystell</a> and <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/charlotte-meares/">Charlotte</a> chooses <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/jadene-bircham/">Jadene</a> and <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/elle-isaac/">Elle</a>.</p>
<p>Off the girls go to start their challenge and choose their 86 pieces of vintage clothing.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/wags-boutique/">WAGs Boutique</a> – At the boutiques</strong></p>
<p>Back at the shops, <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/julie-phillips/">Julie</a> and <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/charlotte-meares/">Charlotte</a> are laying down the rules, but both end up getting mocked by their team mates.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/charlotte-meares/">Charlotte</a> seemed to be finding it difficult to control her staff. <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/cassie-sumner/">Cassie</a> was sent out to get some lunch, but arrived back at the shop three hours later as she met up with <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/jadene-bircham/">Jadene</a> for lunch. Obviously, this annoyed <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/charlotte-meares/">Charlotte</a> and when <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/cassie-sumner/">Cassie</a> finally got back to the shop, they ended up arguing and <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/charlotte-meares/">Charlotte</a> burst into tears. <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/cassie-sumner/">Cassie</a> said she just wanted to get her own back on <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/charlotte-meares/">Charlotte</a>.</p>
<p>Meanwhile at the Bows, things were even worst for<a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/julie-phillips/"> Julie</a>. <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/michaela-henderson-thynne/">Michaela</a> acting like a 12-year-old decides to play up <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/julie-phillips/">Julie</a> and go shopping while her team mates are left to do all the hard work.<br />
<strong><br />
<a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/wags-boutique/">WAGs Boutique</a> &#8211; At the market</strong></p>
<p>On Saturday, the girls arrive at the market really early to set up their stalls in the pouring rain. As the weather was pretty bad, the girls got off to a slow start. But Better Half make their first sale and there&#8217;s no stopping them. Bows even have to reduce all their prices to &pound;1 to keep up with them.</p>
<p>After a hard day at the market, the girls call their managers and <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/nicola-tappenden/">Nicola</a> asks if she and <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/krystell-sidwell/">Krystell</a> can go home instead of going back to the shops. This doesn&#8217;t go down well with <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/michaela-henderson-thynne/">Michaela</a> and she ends up shouting at <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/julie-phillips/">Julie</a> in front of all their customers and storming off home.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/wags-boutique/">WAGs Boutique</a> &#8211; Challenge Results</strong></p>
<p>With the challenge complete the girls head off to find out who has won and to receive feedback from their mentors.</p>
<p>Bows mentor <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/anna-park/">Anna Park</a>, really lays into <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/michaela-henderson-thynne/">Michaela</a> and said she should have been fired for the way she spoke to <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/julie-phillips/">Julie</a>, although Michaela doesn&#8217;t seem bothered.</p>
<p>The results are finally revealed, Bows sold &pound;258.60 and Better Half sold a total of &pound;497.27, making Better Half this week&#8217;s winners.</p>
<p>Now with the score being 2 all, both teams will be fighting hard to win next week&#8217;s challenge. Although, after this week&#8217;s arguments in Bows Boutique, I wouldn&#8217;t be surprised if Better Half takes the lead from now on.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t miss <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/wags-boutique/">WAGs Boutique</a> next week &#8211; Tuesday on ITV2 at 9pm.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/wags-boutique/">WAGs Boutique</a> – Bows and Better Half battle it out for this week&#8217;s challenge</strong></p>
<p><img align="left" title="WAGs Boutique Update - Episode 4" id="image261" alt="WAGs Boutique Update - Episode 4" src="http://www.wags-blog.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/02/udate.jpg" />In this week&#8217;s episode of <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/wags-boutique/">WAGs Boutique</a>, Bows go to the Brits after winning last weeks challenge. While, Better Half&#8217;s <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/charlotte-meares/">Charlotte Mears</a> and her boyfriend Jermain Defoe get engaged.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/wags-boutique/">WAGs Boutique</a> – Challenge Number 2<br />
</strong></p>
<p>This week&#8217;s challenge is set by Justine Mills, owner of Cricket Boutique, where famous WAGs like <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/coleen-mcloughlin/">Colleen McLoughin</a> shop. The challenge is buying and selling, the girls have to choose a product to sell in their shop and the team with the greatest profit wins – easy!</p>
<p>The managers this week were <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/michaela-henderson-thynne/">Michaela</a> for Bows and <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/jadene-bircham/">Jadene</a> for Better Half. They then had to pick two girls from their team to go off and choose the stock. <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/charlotte-meares/">Charlotte</a> and <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/heather-swan/">Heather</a> are making the decision for Better Half and <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/nicola-tappenden/">Nicola</a> and <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/michaela-henderson-thynne/">Michaela</a> for Bows.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/charlotte-meares/">Charlotte</a> and <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/heather-swan/">Heather</a> have trouble deciding between the Bags with Bows or the designer jewellery (worn by <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/kate-moss/">Kate Moss</a>). In the end, <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/heather-swan/">Heather</a> persuades <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/charlotte-meares/">Charlotte</a> to go for the jewellery as she manages to get a fantastic deal on it. <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/nicola-tappenden/">Nicola</a> and <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/michaela-henderson-thynne/">Michaela</a> choose the Bags with the Bows on (what a surprise).</p>
<p>Back at the shops, Bows have got people queuing round the corner for their charity pink hoodies and t-shirts, they end up running out of stock and had to start taking orders.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/wags-boutique/">WAGs Boutique</a> – Promoting and Selling their New Stock</strong></p>
<p>To promote their new stock, <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/nicola-tappenden/">Nicola T</a> invites tabloid photographer to go to the boutique to get photos of the girls naked with only the bags covering their bits. The only problem was <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/krystell-sidwell/">Krystell</a> and <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/madeleine-bowden/">Madeleine</a> refusing to do the shoot and <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/julie-phillips/">Julie&#8217;s</a> husband Kevin Philips not wanting <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/julie-phillips/">Julie</a> to do it either. So, <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/nicola-tappenden/">Nicola</a> and <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/michaela-henderson-thynne/">Michaela</a> pose for the camera, but do wear swim suits with the bags and bows in full view. They also hire a model to pose in the window with the bags.</p>
<p>On the first day with the new stock in the shops, Bows manage to sell all of their Bags, whereas Better Half seemed to be struggling.</p>
<p>Better Half decided to host a Champagne and Strawberries party to promote their stock and hand out loads of leaflets to Bows customers. Unfortunately, the strawberries got delivered to Bows, and before Better Half realised <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/julie-phillips/">Julie</a> had already handed most of them out, although they still had the champagne. The party was due to start at 6pm, so <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/charlotte-meares/">Charlotte</a> and <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/heather-swan/">Heather</a> went off to get stocked up with champagne, but with traffic being so bad they didn&#8217;t  arrive until 7pm, so most of the customers had gone home already, so the party was a flop.</p>
<p>Next day the tension in Better Half was getting worse, <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/charlotte-meares/">Charlotte</a> wanted to leave work early and ended up in an argument with <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/jadene-bircham/">Jadene</a>. Later that night, <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/cassie-sumner/">Cassie</a> and <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/jadene-bircham/">Jadene</a> start arguing over <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/cassie-sumner/">Cassie</a> selling her &#8216;kiss and tell&#8217; story about her relationship with Michael Essien to the tabloids.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/wags-boutique/">WAGs Boutique</a> – Challenge Results</strong></p>
<p>Finally, the following day Better Half sell all their stock and both teams go off to get their feedback and results of this week&#8217;s challenge.</p>
<p>Winners of this week&#8217;s challenge are to receive &pound;2000 worth of stock from Cricket Boutique to sell in their boutique making 100% profit for their charity.</p>
<p>Bows impressed the judges with selling all their stock in one day, however the challenge was to make the most profit and with bows getting a reasonable discount on their stock, <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/heather-swan/">Heather</a> managed to get an even bigger discount for Better Half.</p>
<p>The results were:</p>
<p>Bows&#8217; profit &#8211; &pound;906<br />
Better Half profit &#8211; &pound;3,186</p>
<p>Better Half win this week&#8217;s challenge fair and square, although <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/nicola-tappenden/">Nicola T</a> didn&#8217;t think so, she accused Better Half of trading on <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/lyn-gardner/">Lyn Gardener&#8217;s</a> (Better Half&#8217;s mentor) friendship with the designer. <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/lyn-gardner/">Lyn</a> hits back saying <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/nicola-tappenden/">Nicola</a> always gets &#8216;her tits out&#8217;. All hell breaks loose and<br />
<a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/nicola-tappenden/"> Nicola</a> storms out in disbelief.</p>
<p>What will happen in <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/wags-boutique/">WAGs Boutique</a> next week? Will <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/nicola-tappenden/">Nicola</a> and <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/lyn-gardner/">Lyn</a> make up?</p>

In the third episode of WAGs Boutique, we see both Boutiques open for Business. The first day seemed to go really well for both teams, Better Half sold &#163;1898 of stock and Bows sold &#163;2048 of stock, so only slightly beat Better Half.

<p><img align="left" alt="WAGs Boutique Update" id="image255" title="WAGs Boutique Update" src="http://www.wags-blog.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/02/udate.jpg" />In the third episode of <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/wags-boutique/">WAGs Boutique</a>, we see both Boutiques open for Business. The first day seemed to go really well for both teams, Better Half sold &pound;1898 of stock and Bows sold &pound;2048 of stock, so only slightly beat Better Half.</p>
<p>Second day wasn&#8217;t so good, when Better Half arrived at the shop they found someone had broken in and stolen two hand bags worth &pound;500 each. Obviously they were a little shaken up and <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/jadene-bircham/">Jadene</a> said she thought it was because people didn&#8217;t like her team, Better Half.</p>
<p>The girls had a visit from Jacqueline Gold, owner of Ann Summers to set the teams their first challenge. The challenge was to design their own websites and promote their boutiques in just three days.</p>
<p>Store managers were appointed, <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/madeleine-bowden/">Madeleine Bowden</a> for Bows and <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/heather-swan/">Heather Swan</a> for Better Half.</p>
<p>Both managers then had to pick 2 members from their team to carry out the challenge set. <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/madeleine-bowden/">Madeleine</a> picked <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/julie-phillips/">Julie</a> and <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/krystell-sidwell/">Krystell</a> and <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/heather-swan/">Heather</a> picked <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/jadene-bircham/">Jadene</a> and <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/cassie-sumner/">Cassie</a>.</p>
<p>Off the girls went to get started. The girl&#8217;s first stop was their website designers to discuss what they would like, Better Half seemed to know exactly what they wanted, however Bows were a little vague.</p>
<p>While the designers get cracking on the websites, the girls make a start on the second part of the challenge to promote their boutiques and new websites.</p>
<p>Both teams started by calling radio stations to get interviews, <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/cassie-sumner/">Cassie</a> and <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/jadene-bircham/">Jadene </a>managed to get quite a few interviews, but <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/julie-phillips/">Julie</a> and <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/krystell-sidwell/">Krystell</a> seem to be finding radio stations a little difficult. They did manage to get a couple of interviews, but on the first interview they forgot to mention where the boutique was and their website address!!</p>
<p>Bows then gave up on Radio and managed to get on Soccer AM, thanks to the help of their hubbys.</p>
<p>Back at the shops, Bows were having a nightmare, they had a leak in the stock room and had to get all the stock out quick before any got damaged and <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/michaela-henderson-thynne/">Michaela</a> revealed that she had split up with her boyfriend Stewart Downing. Poor Bows, things couldn&#8217;t get any worse.</p>
<p>With the challenge coming to an end, both teams get together with their mentors, <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/anna-park/">Anna Park</a> and <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/lyn-gardner/">Lyn Gardner</a> and Jacqueline Gold for feedback.</p>
<p>Better Half definitely impressed the judges with their website design and radio interviews, but Bows win by far with having more customers, selling more stock and getting more visitors to the website, they had an incredible 23,737 hits, three times more hits that Better Half&#8217;s website.</p>
<p>The prize for winning this challenge was a night at the Brits and getting to preview their second challenge before Better Half.</p>
<p>Next week on <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/wags-boutique/">WAGs Boutique</a> the girls get their second challenge. Don&#8217;t miss it!</p>

<p><a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/krystell-sidwell/">Krysell</a> tells us a bit about the launch party:<br />
&#8216;This night was amazing! We were all really excited and we all had a really good time. It was hard work but with such a fantastic turn out, who can moan?&#8217;</p>
<p><a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/krystell-sidwell/">Krysell</a> also comments on the first day of opening the boutique: &#8216;It was crazy. We had lots of people come into the shop and we made loads of sales. It has been really hard pricing every, single item. I think Julie was dreaming barcodes. Ha ha!&#8217;</p>
<p><a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/nicola-tappenden/">Nicola</a>, <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/michaela-henderson-thynne/">Michaela</a>, <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/madeleine-bowden/">Madeleine</a> and <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/julie-phillips/">Juile</a> tell us how they are getting on with running a boutique, each other and working away from home.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>The first episode of <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/wags-boutique/">WAGs Boutique</a> was shown last night on ITV2.  </strong></p>
<p><img align="left" title="WAGs Boutique Update" id="image229" alt="WAGs Boutique Update" src="http://www.wags-blog.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/01/udate.jpg" />If you missed the show last night, here is a short run down of what happened:</p>
<p>The show started off with 7 of the WAGs meeting for champagne to get to know each other. The first 7 WAGs to meet were <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/jadene-bircham/">Jadene Bircham</a>, <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/charlotte-meares/">Charlotte Mears</a>, <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/cassie-sumner/">Cassie Sumner</a>, <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/heather-swan/">Heather Swan</a>, <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/nicola-tappenden/">Nicola Tappenden</a>,<a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/julie-phillips/"> Julie Phillips</a> and <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/michaela-henderson-thynne/">Michaela Henderson-Thynne</a>.</p>
<p>After their introductions the girls were then taken to the empty <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/wags-boutique/">WAGS boutiques</a> at 33 &#038; 34 Marshall Street, London.</p>
<p>To the girl&#8217;s surprise, a car then pulled up and <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/krystell-sidwell/">Krystell Sidwell</a> jumped out of the car to join the other WAGs.</p>
<p>Before they entered the boutiques, <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/june-sarpong/">June Sarpong</a> introduced them to their future mentors, Anna Park and Lyn Gardner. Anna and Lyn then had to choose one by one the four WAGs they wanted on their team.</p>
<p>Once the teams were picked, they were then taken to their boutiques to be shown around.</p>
<p>The girls were given the tasks of choosing their own <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/wags-boutique/">WAGs boutique</a> names. After hours of discussion the girls finally chose their names, &#8216;Eleven&#8217; and &#8216;Bow&#8217;. After a few days the names were then changed to &#8216;Better Half&#8217; and &#8216;Bows&#8217;.</p>
<p>The next task tested their fashion skills; the girls were given a short exam and let&#8217;s just say they don&#8217;t know very much about fashion! <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/nicola-tappenden/">Nicola T</a> got 0 out of 10 and the best score was 4 out of 10!</p>
<p>Two of the girls also had to dress a mannequin in 15 minutes, which proved amusing, particularly watching them struggle.</p>
<p>The two teams were taken to their mentors boutiques to have a bit of training, &#8216;Bows&#8217; seemed to get on really well with Anna and she was very impressed by their skills. Lyn had the opposite experience, the &#8216;Better Half&#8217; team was childish and disrespectful, and at the end of the day they left a pile of very expensive clothes on the floor of the changing room &#8211; Lyn was not happy.</p>
<p>Two girls from both teams then had the opportunity to go to France with their mentors to buy stock for their WAGs Boutiques, while the other two were left to man the shops and pick the designs.</p>
<p>While in France, <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/cassie-sumner/">Cassie Sumner</a> and <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/michaela-henderson-thynne/">Michaela Henderson-Thynne</a> ended up arguing over <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/cassie-sumner/">Cassie&#8217;s</a> favourite fashion designer Vivienne Westwood.</p>
<p>The &#8216;Bows&#8217; seemed to get on really well buying their stock; however &#8216;Better Half&#8217; got bored and didn&#8217;t have much luck the first day. The next day <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/cassie-sumner/">Cassie Sumner</a> then decided to show up 2 and a half hours late for their appointment, which Lyn was not impressed about. When they finally got to the appointment, they did manage to get some stock. Soon after, the WAGs headed back to England to their <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/wags-boutique/">WAGs boutiques</a>.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/june-sarpong/">June Sarprong</a> then got both teams together for an update of how they were getting on and to find out what the mentors thought of them. This ended in an embarrassing situation for <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/june-sarpong/">June</a>, when once again <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/michaela-henderson-thynne/">Michaela</a> and <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/cassie-sumner/">Cassie</a> started arguing, with <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/nicola-tappenden/">Nicola T</a> interfering. <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/cassie-sumner/">Cassie</a> stormed out crying. <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/cassie-sumner/">Cassie</a> seems like a spoilt brat that craves attention.</p>
<p>Once she returned to the group after her outburst, <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/june-sarpong/">June</a> had another surprise for them.  Waiting in the next room were <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/elle-isaac/">Elle Isaac</a> and <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/madeleine-bowden/">Madeleine Bowden</a> to join the teams. <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/elle-isaac/">Elle</a> joined &#8216;Better Half&#8217; and <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/madeleine-bowden/">Madeleine</a> joined &#8216;Bows&#8217;.</p>
<p>Seen the show? Let us have your opinion below&#8230;.</p>
<p>The next episode of <a href="http://www.wags-blog.com/category/wags-boutique/">WAGs Boutique</a> will be shown next Tuesday on ITV2 at 9pm, don&#8217;t miss it!</p>
