Two Belfast streets have been named the best in the UK - even though it's a case of Hill Street blues for one of them.

South Belfast's Lisburn Road has been named as one of Britain's Best Shopping Streets in the Google Street View Awards.

While Hill Street, in Belfast's trendy Cathedral Quarter, has been voted one of the top 5 Hippest Streets in the UK.

The only problem is that on Google Maps, online and throughout the competition, Google has billed the hip hangout, which runs from the Merchant hotel, past the Black Box and Nick's Warehouse, towards the back of St Anne's Cathedral, as Henry Street.

There is a Henry Street in Belfast, but it's in the north of the city.

Whatever it's called, it's a great showing for Belfast and official recognition that we have some of the best locations in the UK.

The Lisburn Road came fourth in the list of top five Best Shopping Streets.

"We've got great shoe shops, boutiques, beauticians, opticians, fab art galleries and fantastic foodie outlets, such as Arcadia deli, as well as award-winning hairdressers," says Lisburn Road proprietor, Eavan Kennedy of EK Eyewear.

If it's good enough for Scarlet O'Hara it's good enough for us and help is at hand!

Free workshops on how to revamp furniture and clothes have been taking place across Belfast and there are lots more still to come over the next eight weeks.

Sugahfix.com got three finalists places in the Northern Ireland Social Media Awards and we're absolutely delighted....but of course now we'd love you to vote for us in Category 2,3 and 5 - but we don't want to be greedy so even just Category 5 - we'd be over the moon!

The guide to picking the winners in each category have been set out as follows...

1. Innovation - are they thinking outside the box?

2. Inspiration - do you feel compelled to act, buy, share?

3. Information - are they actively communicating with their fans/followers, and is the information useful?

Hopefully you think Sugahfix.com scores top marks in all of the above! It's certainly what we're always aiming for!

Last night the fifth annual Fate awards, in association with Diet Coke, the celebs were out in force to celebrate our home-grown hospitality and entertainment industry.

Katie Waissel turned out to be the big hit with the fans lining the street outside the Europa Hotel and she even left her table during the awards to meet and greet, sign autographs and have her photo taken with fans. She was the winner in the style stakes wearing a vintage Givenchy gown from Lily's Allen's shop 'Lucy in Disguise'.

At last summers Appletiser StyleFIX at Victoria Square the Sugahfix Gals spotted the most stunning girl – but she wasn't on the catwalk! She was collecting for Pretty 'N' Pink Breast Cancer Charity.

Trend spotters that we are, we've noticed one emerging fashion buzz that's currently making us go all 'awwww'.

While we're usually goo-goo for Gaga, this time we're just positively goo-goo.

We can't help but notice the number of celebs who are currently sporting baby bumps, not least our own local Sugahfix faves, PR gal & Belfast FASHIONWEEK boss Cathy Martin and broadcaster Emma Louise Johnston (pictured left with the teeniest of baby bumps).

She was the last of the Hollywood greats, a fashion icon and a silver screen siren who outshone both her co-stars and rivals.

The sadness which greeted the news that Elizabeth Rosemond Taylor died on Wednesday at the age of 79 has been met with a wealth of tributes, not least for her stunning beauty, trend-setting fashion sense and her outstanding acting talent.

From Emmeline Pankhurst (leader of the British suffragette movement, which helped women win the right to vote) to Lady GaGa, who kicks ass as one of the strongest, most unapologetic women in pop, we're celebrating 100 years of International Women's Day at Sugahfix and marking the achievements and struggles of women all over the world.

Whether it's your mum, or a female politician, writer, pop star, artist, or even yourself, today is the day to celebrate all the female role models in your life.

We love people who can have a bit of craic and a laugh even in the most serious of times - it's a big part of the Norin Irin personality!

Local café Grounded Espresso Bar situated at Boucher Retail Park in Belfast and Monaghan Street in Newry have teamed up with Northern Ireland's only dedicated breast cancer charity Pretty 'N' Pink and created a chuckle-indusing slogan which is emblazoned across the cafe's take away cups - but with a more serious message behind the big smiles and the girlie pink.

Katie clinched the title, beating off almost fourteen thousand other hopefuls to be shortlisted down to the Top 100 and then won the title after a FHM readers vote.

We all love to get spoilt, whether it's a massage at the local beauty salon, a deep-cleanse facial in a hotel spa or a quick manicure whilst out shopping.

But the Sugahfix gals were impressed to find out that low cost airline, bmibaby has taken pampering to a whole new height.

Recently bmibaby sent a handful of beauty students to pamper passangers onboard a flight from Manchester to George Best Belfast City Airport! Yes that's right; a pampering session 30,000ft high in the sky!
