So last season! Casey Batchelor braves the winter chill as she heads to dinner in a low cut wrap blouse and patterned trousers

As a glamour model she's mastered the art of ensuring that her ample assets get as much exposure as possible.

Showcasing her craft on Thursday evening, Casey Batchelor braved the winter chill as she took the plunge while heading to dinner.

Making her way to Buckle and Vaughan in Enfield, the 30-year-old was all smiles as she strutted down the street in a colourful ensemble.

Braving the chill: Casey Batchelor took the plunge on Thursday evening as she headed to dinner in Enfield

Stepping out minus a coat, Casey wore a black wrap blouse which featured a deep V neckline which she teamed with a pair of multi-coloured Aztec patterned pyjama-esque trousers.

Standing tall, the former Celebrity Big Brother contestant rocked suede black heeled ankle boots.

Topping her look with a wide brimmed purple fedora, Batchelor accessorised with a few pieces of jewellery and she finished her outfit with a black leather bag.

Excited to try out the food at the venue, the reality television star tweeted: 'Looking forward to dinner at @BandVN21 this evening #business #buisinessdinner #watchthisspace Bring on the summer'.

Following her meal, she then wrote on the micro-blogging site: 'Lovely food tonight in @BandVN21 Defo coming back'.

So last season... Casey appeared to be living in autumn as she ventured out minus a coat or scarf

Earlier this year Casey went under the knife to have her breasts surgically reduced, which saw her go from a 32GG to a 32E.

Since the operation, the Essex girl has insisted that she feels more confident than ever before when it comes to her body.

However Batchelor recently revealed she is yet to 'share' her newly-honed curves with a man as she wants to keep them under wraps until she meets her significant other.

She said: 'Hopefully I'll find one [a man] to christen them soon - and I'm hoping he'll be the last man to see them.

'I turned 30 last month so I really want to meet someone and settle down. And I want my new guy to be the only man who will ever see my new boobs.'

Well, doesn't Casey Bathchelor look like quite the fashionista here? Wearing a pair of statement chevron pants and a wide brimmed fedora (both purchased from TK Maxx we've been reliably informed by Casey herself) the look is fashion-forward without trying too hard.

Her outfit has been held together expertly with those understated River Island boots and that wrap front top which is from American Apparel. The stretchy fabric combined with the plunge neckline make Casey's top a super flattering an versatile piece.

You can't buy her exact style any more but you can click right to the American Apparel site to get a similar cropped version. Or opt for this New Look black wrap top below which is the spitting image of Casey's. And it costs just £12.99. Bargain!

Too many options! Taylor Swift dresses for the cold in navy coat... then switches into a checked version

She loves an afternoon spent perusing the shops.

And Taylor Swift showed off the results of her many spending sprees as she stepped out in two different coats in New York on Friday.

The 25-year-old pop princess first wore a warming, woolen dark blue coat along with reddish-brown jeans and looped a brown and black-striped infinity scarf around her neck as a seasonal touch.

'When I’m getting dressed, it’s always based on what my friends will think,' Taylor told the publication.

'They are my number one priority and the opinions of girls are more important to me at this point in my life.'

As the year winds to a close, Taylor's fifth studio album 1989 - which was released on October 27 - continues to soar with USA Today naming it Album Of The Year.

Green with envy: Taylor was in her stride walking down the sidewalk in teal green booties

The majority of songs were co-written by Taylor with a slew of other well-known artists.

The album has been compared to Bruce Springsteen's Tunnel Of Love in its musical style and sold 1.287 million copies in its first week of release.

The entertainer may be drawing inspiration from megastars Justin Timberlake and Jay Z, who were spotted leaving Swift's Tribeca apartment together after an apparent meeting on Monday.

No doubt the trio had lots to share.

'My friends are the kind of people that have their own lives, and their own busy schedules, and that’s why we get along so well,' Taylor told ASOS.

She added: 'A lot of "celebrities" surround themselves with these very chic cling-ons who don’t really have much of a job or a passion, they follow around their celebrity BFF and provide constant affirmation for them and I’m really not interested in that kind of deal.

One of the teenage Austrian ‘poster girls’ who ran away to join ISIS has been killed in the conflict, UN says

A United Nations official says one of the two Austrian girls who fled their middle class homes in Vienna earlier this year to fight in Syria has definitely died in the conflict.

The two Viennese girls, Samra Kesinovic, 17, and 15-year-old Sabina Selimovic, whose parents are Bosnian refugees, disappeared in April after saying that they wanted to fight in Syria.

They first went to the Turkish capital Ankara by plane, and then on into the southern Turkish region of Adana. After that, their tracks were lost.

The teens appeared on social networking sites branding Kalashnikov rifles and surrounded by armed men

But they appeared on social networking sites branding Kalashnikov rifles and surrounded by armed men - photos which Austrian police said acted as recruitment posters for young girls.

David Scharia, a senior Israeli expert of the United Nations Security Council's Counter-Terrorism Committee (CTED) said: 'We received information just recently about two 15-year-old girls, of Bosnian origin, who left Austria, where they had been living in recent years; and everyone, the families and the intelligence services of the two countries, is looking for them.

He added: 'Both were recruited by Islamic State. One was killed in the fighting in Syria, the other has disappeared.'

His confirmation comes three months after the Austrian government said it had informed both sets of parents of the girls that one of them might have been killed.

It is believed both Samra and Sabina married IS fighters soon after they arrived in Syria from Turkey

An Islamic preacher from Bosnia living in Vienna, Mirsad O., known by the Islamic name of 'Ebu Tejma', was allegedly responsible for the radicalization of the two young girls. Authorities say he brainwashed them into joining the jihad. He denies this.

Mirsad O. was arrested for his role in an alleged terrorist funding network based in Austria in November.

It is believed both Samra and Sabina married IS fighters soon after arriving in Syria. The two couples initially lived in the same room but the 15-year-old has reportedly now moved out to a different flat.

Speaking by SMS messages to French weekly Paris Match, Sabina denied claims she was pregnant and insisted she was enjoying life in Syria, where she felt free to practise her religion in a way that she did not in Austria.

The magazine did manage to confirm the teenager had only been allowed to speak to them with the permission of her husband, who was in the room as she wrote her answers.

She said after arriving to Turkey from Austria they crossed over the border into Syria on foot. They ended up in the city of Raqqa, she said, after arriving in the country with nothing other than the clothes they were wearing.

Sabina said her husband was a soldier and added: 'Here I can really be free. I can practice my religion. I couldn't do that in Vienna.'

As many as 130 people from Austria are now believed to be fighting as jihadists abroad. Experts say at least half of them originally come from the Caucasus region of Russia and were granted asylum in Austria after the bloody Chechen war.

Austrian Interior Ministry spokesman Alexander Marakovits said they were noticing an increasing problem with youngsters wanting to leave the country to fight in the ranks of ISIS.

He said: 'If we can catch them before they leave we have the chance to work with their parents and other institutions to bring the youngsters out of the sphere of influence that prompted them to act in this way the first place.

'Once they have left the country, even if they then changed their minds, it is then almost impossible to get them back.'

The teenagers disappeared from Austria, leaving a note telling their parents they had gone to fight in Syria

Looking for a Christmas getaway? HALF of most popular destinations are cheaper than last year... and Belgium offers the best value

For those looking to book a holiday this festive season, Christmas may have come early.

Over half of the top 20 best value getaways have fallen in price since last year, mainly due to the strength of the pound.

And for the best value deal this Christmas, you'd do well to head to Europe - in particular, Belgium.

For the best value traditional Christmas getaway, head to Belgium. Pictured: the Christmas market in Bruges

Research from M&S Bank has found Belgium to be the most affordable traditional Christmas destination this year.

With its colder climate and festive activities, such as sleigh rides, Santa's grotto, Christmas markets and outdoor ice skating, Belgium is a great option for families looking for a quick winter break.

With costs of just £420 per person, the country also sees an almost 5 per cent decrease in price since last year.

Germany is not far behind, costing just £453 per person, which is almost four per cent cheaper than this time last year.

Germany is also a good-value traditional option, with costs for a week holiday coming in at £453 per person

Prices to Sweden have seen the largest drop since last year - down 7.1% - to a cost of £466 per person

But it's a jaunt over to Sweden that has seen the largest annual price decrease - 7.1 per cent and a cost of £466 per person.

More expensive traditional Christmas holiday destinations include Finland as well as long-haul locations, such as New York and Canada.

For those looking for winter sun, however, the news isn't quite as cheery.

Only two warm-weather destinations are included in the top ten most affordable holiday list: Cyprus and the Canary Islands.

Spain's Canary Islands is another more affordable winter sun getaway option at £1,248 per person per week

While you may be guaranteed mild weather in the Canaries - average December temperatures top 19 degrees Celsius - it will come with a high price tag of £1,248 per person.

For some serious winter heat, Thailand has the highest temperatures - and the highest cost per person, with prices having risen by £293 in the last two years.

The Bahamas also boasts pleasant temperatures at this time of year, with an average of 22 degrees Celsius in December.

However, it is the second most expensive winter sun destination, with a cost of £3,029 per person.

Mexico has seen the biggest price increase overall (2.1 per cent, or £114 in total), but at a cost of £1,377 per person it is still the third most affordable winter sun destination out of those researched.

The most expensive winter sun locale? Thailand has both the highest December temperatures and prices

Paul Stokes, head of products at M&S Bank, said: 'Families looking for a more traditional Christmas holiday will find plenty of savings to be had, with prices falling across the board, largely thanks to the strength of the pound against the euro.

'However, those hoping for some winter sun this year will have to pay a premium for higher temperatures, particularly to long-haul destinations.

'Travellers can often get a better rate on their currency if they plan ahead, helping to ensure their spending money goes that bit further.'

Pilot threatens emergency landing after mid-air brawl erupts between mother and angry women who complained about her crying baby

A brawl involving three women erupted on a Chinese flight from to Chongqing to Hong Kong yesterday when two of them complained to a mum that her baby was making too much noise.

The women, all believed to be Chinese, were warned that the pilot would be forced to turn back and make an emergency landing if they didn't stop fighting.

The dispute arose on an Air China flight that took off at 9am after two women were awakened by the baby's cries and complained to 27-year-old mother, Chan Juan Sung.

One of the women appears to have her head pushed into the overhead lockers as a brawl broke out

As the situation escalated, the two women reclined their seats fully backwards, which aggravated things further.

A scuffle ensued, with one of the women hitting on her head on the overhead locker, until cabin crew managed to step in and separate the women.

Passenger Xiong Wan, 45, said: 'I was sitting right next to them when they started telling the woman to shut the baby up.

'She started shouting back at them and before I knew what was happening she leant over the seat and punched one of them.

'They then started hitting her and all hell broke loose.

'They were fighting, the baby was now screaming and other passengers were shouting. It was like some bizarre film.'

Thankfully for the other passengers on board, the flight landed at its scheduled time of 10:52am. Hong Kong police were waiting to interview passengers about the incident.

Air China spokesman Daio Weimin said: ‘Passengers cannot behave like this.

‘Each and everyone must adhere to aviation laws to ensure a safe and comfortable flight for all.’

The past few days have seen an alarming number of incidents on Chinese planes.

A man on board a Chinese domestic flight caused panic when he opened the emergency exit just before take-off as he 'wanted some fresh air.'

Thai Air Asia says one of its flight attendants had a cup of hot water and noodles thrown in her face

The passenger was on a Xiamen Air flight from Hangzhou to Chengdu, and although cabin crew managed to diffuse the situation quickly and the flight took off on time.

Only days before, a Chinese man had opened the emergency exit and deployed the slide after wanting to 'get off quicker' from his China Eastern flight that landed at Sanya Fenghaung International Airport in Hainan.

Prior to this, a Chinese woman scalded a flight attendant by throwing a cup of hot noodles after finding out she wouldn't be sat next to her boyfriend.

The incident occurred on a charter flight from Bangkok to Nanjing, China, and passengers were on hand to pull out their smartphones as the mid-air drama unfolded in front of them, snapping pictures as the injured flight attendant covered her face and shouted in pain.
