Having a date with an online chat partner to look forward to is the single best excuse on the planet for treating yourself to some luxurious pampering and that perfect but pricey pair of jeans you've had your eye on.

The latest celebrity beauty fad is a ?200 conditioning hair treatment made from Iranian beluga caviar from Hari's Salon in Knightsbridge, which apparently repairs dull and damaged hair.

According to Metro it has proved popular with the likes of Sienna Miller, Goldie Hawn and Sophie Anderton to name a few, who all rate the Hollywood style sheen it gives their tresses.

But even if the news that the fishy aroma of the roe has been removed doesn't tempt you to such celebrity excess, there are considerably simpler and cheaper ways to make yourself feel a like a glamour goddess before your date.

The first, and most essential, rule is to stick to colours and styles you know suit you, and choose something classic. Dressing to impress is one thing, but showing up dressed head to toe in the latest designer trends and logos will make you come across like a try-hard fashion victim-not a good look judging by Colleen McLoughlin's continual efforts.

It is also a good idea to do your homework when it comes to the venue, there is nothing worse than being overdressed and a date is the last occasion you want to feel like you turned up to a barbecue in a ball dress.

If a new outfit is required for the date, plan in advance. All your beauty efforts and fashion deliberations will be for nothing if you spend all afternoon getting stressed in the shopping centre and buying something unsuitable, and most likely unaffordable, in a panic.

Remember, perfect style takes time to achieve, but looks effortless-and he need never know you time or money you really spent preparing for him.
