Speaking to The Sun last night, Louise, who is currently back living in her tent, said getting a boat would finally make her "safe" and "secure." The qualified Personal Trainer added: "I am applying for a lot of jobs and trying my best to find work. But it is so hard. "I am hoping to go back to personal training and dog walking businesses once I am in one area again, then I can do my businesses again. "Because otherwise I am all over the place so I can't be committed to anything. "People say to me, 'Go get a job.' "But I am all over the place. I am still homeless, so I am living day to day. " Glamour girl Louise had been renting a room for £550-per-month in a shared home in the affluent town of Windsor, Bucks. But she struggled to make ends meet after her businesses hit a lull at the same time her rent rocketed to £750. I am all over the place. I am still homeless, so I am living day to day Louise Glover The brunette, who earned hundreds of pounds per day at the height of her 20-year modelling career, wrote on the GoFundMe page: "I'm trying to raise enough money to move forward to buy a small cabin boat to live on - something dry, safe, and simple, the boat doesn't have to be perfect, just functional. Watch as Lily Phillips strikes Playboy shoot "For someone like me, a boat offers stability, affordable and realistic long-term housing solution. "It gives me independence, security, and a chance to finally exhale. I'll have a roof over my head, a door I can lock, and a space to call my own." It is a far cry from her days partying with Paris Hilton and Leonardo DiCaprio, while living at the late Hefner's sprawling estate. After getting her first gig with Playboy following a test shoot in London aged 20, she went on to be the first Briton to be crowned the magazine's Model of the Year. Described as the 'British Carmen Electra' by multi-millionaire Hugh, Louise spent her twenties jetting around the world attending celebrity bashes and posing for photoshoots. She would return to her base at Playboy boss Hefner's mansion, where she had a room rent-free with champagne on tap. During the world-famous parties at the notorious £77million pad, Louise hung out with celebrity royalty such as DiCaprio, Rihanna, Matthew Perry, Snoop Dogg and Paris. I loved all the other Playboy models, we were like a family Louise Glover She previously said: 'It was the best time, like another world. 'I didn't even think about it that much at the time, but I was hanging out with the biggest names in the world. 'I loved all the other Playboy models, we were like a family. 'I really liked Hugh, he was a total gentleman. 'The mansion was incredible, there was even a zoo there. Everything was pink and had the Playboy Bunny logo on it. 'We had these wild parties. I once got my body painted and we all danced around Snoop Dogg as he performed on stage at the house.' But when she was 27, Louise contracted septicemia following breast implant surgery and went into cardiac arrest. It left her in hospital for five weeks. She said: 'I nearly died because I was so ill from the infection. That was a wake-up call for me. She decided to move away from her party lifestyle to focus on fitness and wellbeing. Louise recalled: 'I started to train and moved into fitness and lifestyle modelling. I had deals with most of the major brands. 'Nike sponsored me and I felt like I was on the up again.' She won first place at the Miami Pro Universe Championships and got a string of other fitness titles. Having become a personal trainer, last year she travelled to Dubai to launch her PT classes there and carry out some promo work for Formula One and rugby. 5 Louise parties with Leonardo DiCaprio and Rhianna Credit: Jon Bond

Cara Delevingne exposes underwear at London premiere
Cara Delevingne exposed her underwear in a see-through gown at the premiere of 'Ocean With David Attenborough'. The model-turned-actress took the red carpet in London for the world premiere of Attenborough's new documentary, and Cara turned heads with her eye-catching outfit, which left little to the imagination. The 32-year-old beauty wore a plunging mesh dress - which was made from fabric that's around 100 years old - for the star-studded event in the UK capital. The risque dress - which was made in Cairo, Egypt, in the 1920s - exposed Cara's black lacy thong underwear. Cara also skipped wearing a bra on the red carpet, with the actress opting for a baggy black blazer instead. The runway star - who posed for photos on the red carpet alongside her older sister, Poppy Delevingne - paired her eye-catching outfit with a pair of black peep-toe platform heels. The premiere was also attended by King Charles, as well as actress Felicity Jones and model Georgia May Jagger. Cara is well-known for her bold fashion choices, but the London-born beauty previously insisted that she cannot be defined by what she wears. The model feels her style doesn't always have to be "cohesive". Speaking to ELLE, Cara explained: "[What you wear] doesn't dictate where you stand on the spectrum of fluidity and gender. "This is still me. I thought that wearing a pink dress made me a 'girly girl.' It's not true. I can still wear a pink dress and have long hair and still not be a girly girl. [I] was playing with that: It doesn't have to all be cohesive. "You can be [wearing] no make-up, but wearing a gown, or full make-up and wearing a tracksuit." Cara also confessed that she sometimes feels like "the most awkward person in the world". The 'Suicide Squad' actress admitted to suffering from self-doubts from time to time, in spite of her celebrity status. Cara - who won the Model of the Year accolade at the British Fashion Awards in 2012 and 2014 - said: "Sometimes I'm the most awkward person in the world in my body and my skin. Sometimes I'm far too confident. "I think it's a constant journey."

Bella Hadid Combats the Cold in Chloe Equestrian Booties While in New York
Bella Hadid was spotted all cozied up while in New York yesterday. The model had herself a shopping trip at Yves Saint Laurent in an all-black ensemble before changing into a more weather-appropriate look. Combatting the chill in the city, the Vogue cover star sported a pair of tan knee-high boots hailing from Chloe. The chosen silhouette is comparable to the designer brand's Coddington and Garance Triomphe styles. The equestrian-inspired shoe included lush tan leather uppers fixed with crisscrossing straps and buckle accents. Almond-shaped toes gave way to 2 to 3-inch stacked block heels. More from Footwear News Bella Hadid Puts Favorite Archival Black Leather Prada Sport Boots Back on for Casual NYC Outing Keke Palmer Gets Wild in Snakeskin-Printed Tom Ford Tejus Paradis Gladiator Sandals at SiriusXM Studios Comparable styles to the star's own can be purchased via top brands like Larroudé, Ralph Lauren, Nine West, Tory Burch, Valentino and Loeffler Randall, among others. Knowing Hadid's penchant for vintage, it's likely her shoe pick is an older archival model released by Chloe. Knee-high boots are beloved by many from actresses to singers. Tinashe, Tiffany Haddish, Kerry Washington, Halle Berry, Normani and Katy Perry have all worn similar styles to Hadid's own as of late. Knee-high or otherwise, boots are a staple during the fall and winter season, given they encompass the wearer's feet, keeping them protected from the elements. Hadid partnered her neutral knee-high pick with a vintage suede burnt orange Dolce & Gabbana coat fixed with shearling trim. On the accessories front, the Model of the Year winner toted a Louis Vuitton Keepall Lv2 Ebene Damier Print 50 duffle bag accompanied by yellow-tinted Chanel sunglasses and gemstone-adorned rings. When it comes to fashion, Hadid's edgy style often combines grunge and early 2000s aesthetics for looks that mix vintage, and luxury pieces. Hadid often wears sneakers by Adidas, New Balance, and Nike, plus trendy shoes such as Yeezy Foam Runners. The model can also be spotted in sharp pointed-toe pumps and sandals on the red carpet, from top brands including Christian Louboutin, Fendi and Miu Miu.
