There’s nothing quite like a summer romance, is there? The euphoria of clocking someone from across the pool, your eyes locking and knowing that sparks are going to fly. I was 11 when I had my first vacay crush: he was a year older than me so, naturally, he was the hottest thing I’d ever seen (up until my husband. Obviously. Don’t leave me). He didn’t take me bowling in the arcade – nor did we stroll and drink lemonade, like Danny and Sandy – but still, what we had was special. For two weeks. But the big question is: would you be willing to take a temporary hiatus from your relationship to allow yourself a summer fling? And would getting back together ever really work? We debate the latest…

Oh dear. Does the drama ever stop for the Beckhams? Former footie ace David and fashion designer Victoria might be days away from celebrating their 18th wedding anniversary on 4 July, but tensions are said to be running high at their London residence. Sources say the pair are battling against their 'insane work schedules’, which threaten to keep them apart for much more time than they’d like. As Look reported a couple of weeks ago, 43-year-old Vic has been managing the entire Beckham family seamlessly while jetting around the world and managing her fashion empire. But now she’s thought to be taking a step back to consider her and David’s work commitments – and a recent development with David’s Miami football team deal is said to be a catalyst…

With the weather hitting new records, it’s officially sandal season. So whether you’re preening your feet at home or heading for an in-salon pedi, here are Look’s Ultimate Pedicure Rules that every girl needs to know... Global nail technician MARIAN NEWMAN reveals her top tips for making toes look A-list-ready… DON’T TRIM TOENAILS STRAIGHT ACROSS ‘Never cut your toenails straight across as it puts too much stress on the nail plate. Make several small cuts across with a clean, sharp clipper.’ USE A DECENT FILE ‘Toenails may be harder than fingernails, but that doesn’t mean you should be any less gentle when it comes to filing. Round the corners ever so slightly to prevent sharp corners cutting into the skin.’ BUFF RIDGES ‘Your big toenail is susceptible to ridges but…

It’s only been a few years since Millie Mackintosh made her name as the 'Quality Street heiress’ on MIC. In that time, she’s launched a fashion range, published her bestselling lifestyle book Made, and amassed 1.2 million Instagram followers. Yep, she’s basically Superwoman. Now the fourth A/W collection for her namesake label is here, and we’re impressed. It’s clear Millie has come into her own as a designer, and we’re reaping the beautiful outfit benefits. Career aside, Mills is one of us – a good egg with a penchant for clothes and chinwags – so a catchup seemed fitting to celebrate... Congrats on your latest collection, Millie! Your brand has come so far – what are you most proud of? When you start out, everything feels like an achievement. We’ve…

As things hot up, it’s time to start using our imagination with our hair, because – let’s face it – your usual go-to up-do isn’t going to carry you through summer. Basically, we’re calling for a backlash against the topknot. Why? Because it’s boring and it’s easy and we can do better. We’re after beachy braids and pretty plaits, please. Enter these creative summer styles for every type of hot that we’re confident you can pull off… 200 SIDE BRAID Save this for slightly cooler days as most of your hair will still be down. Choose where you want the braid, then plait – it’s really as simple as that. We’re rating this as a morning quick-fix when you’re in a rush. 230 SPACE BUNS Nothing says festival glam like these.

“I lost respect for myself and the trust had gone – we broke up a few months later” ‘WE WERE ON A BREAAAAAAAK!’ For most of us, Ross Geller’s desperate pleas on Friends have put us off a relationship break for life. But for every person who approaches the idea of a break with the same enthusiasm as Saturday nights without Love Island (terrifying, unnerving and something you’d rather didn’t happen), there’s another who thinks they’re great. So do they ever work? Made In Chelsea’s Tiffany Watson and Sam Thompson recently revealed their plans for a 'summer relationship hiatus’ (read: an agreement in which a couple can pull other people – usually in Marbs or Ibiza – before reuniting when the nights start to draw in). Their reason is simple:…

1 STREAMLINE  As tempting as it may be, you don’t want a portfolio or CV that’s chock full with old or unsuitable examples of your work. Have a ruthless declutter. List your best attributes and relevant jobs first. 2 BE STRICT If it’s a portfolio, professionals say you should fill at least 20 pages, while a digital portfolio should be no more than 30 . A CV – try to stick to a page. Make sure titles and page numbers are clear so whoever’s reading it can quickly see what you have to offer. 3 KEEP THINGS RELEVANT  Although breadth of work is important, make sure it’s relevant to the job you are applying for. There’s no use in putting too many words in if you’re applying for a senior…

if you haven’t been choking into a cup of tea while scrolling through the hilarious Beyoncé and Jay Z memes this week, where have you been? Music’s ultimate power couple have been the source of some of the funniest viral GIFs we’ve seen in ages Ð and it’s all thanks to the arrival of her twin babies, who were reportedly welcomed into the world two weeks ago. But despite the fact that it’s supposed to be a happy time, the mum of three is said to be feeling tense about the family drama that’s threatening to overshadow her special time. 'Beyoncé’s first days with the twins has been far from the dreamy, upbeat experience she’d imagined,’ says our source. 'She really wanted the arrival of the babies to be…

Don’t let the name confuse you: Morphe does make amazing brushes, but its sellout eyeshadow blush and highlighting palettes are where the real magic happens.

‘Initially, we were together for a year before we split for 18 months. We got back together for another six months, then broke up again for three years. ‘The first time we were together we wanted different things – it was definitely a case of wrong timing. But after we split, we just hadn’t got over the initial heartbreak. There was a lot of resentment, which led to us breaking up again, this time for three years. ‘Despite the time apart, we could never keep away from each other. We’ve both seen other people and both had full-on serious relationships in-between. During the second break, we didn’t speak to each other at all unless we bumped into each other at birthdays or weddings, which was pretty easy as he’s my…

“I’ll grin at anyone and anything these days” As if wrinkles weren’t enough to contend with, another blessing that old age brings is that a lot of people find their teeth start to gravitate towards the middle and begin to cross over. And at 31, having had pretty much perfect teeth all my life, I suddenly found myself sitting in dentist Dr Rhona Eskander’s chair asking about how I could fix the two guys at the front – who were, quite frankly, getting a little too close for comfort. For the first month of my Invisalign journey I had clear trays that popped in and out whenever I fancied and I found myself thinking: 'Hey, this is easy!’ But then the ridges were fitted and, I’m not going to lie,…

Happy… SUN’S OUT, SHADES OUT Because nothing says summer like novelty shades, we intend on celebrating National Sunglasses Day on 27 June by rocking the most ridiculous pairs we can find – and you should do the same! From Primark’s star-shaped frames to Talking Tables’ toucan outfit-toppers, there’s an OTT sunglass style to suit you. The big question is, how bold will you go? Happier… DESPICABLY DELIGHTFUL That’s right: Despicable Me 3 hits screens on 30 June and we can’t wait – mainly because it sees our favourite funnygirl Kristen Wiig reprise her role as Gru’s wife Lucy, bringing all the LOLs and repping female comedic talent in the process. Oh, and who could forget those adorable (albeit extremely clumsy) Minions?! Hilarious shenanigans as standard, more puns than you can…

Artists For Grenfell After the terrible Grenfell Tower tragedy, we’re hoping that we can make Bridge Over Troubled Water – which features vocals from the likes of Stormzy, Rita Ora and Liam Payne along with some of the former residents themselves – a No 1 hit. All proceeds go towards helping those affected by the fire. Download from iTunes now. artistsforgrenfell.com MTV-Neck The music channel has collaborated with ASOS to create a 20-piece capsule range that’s oh-so 80s.

There’s nothing worse than noticing someone wearing something you desperately need, only for it to have flown off the shelves. But we’re on a mission to banish any FOMO, using our shopping superpowers to source the six pieces set to sell out – before they actually do, that is. Mystic Meg ain’t got nothing on our clairvoyant skills… ASOS’S #GIORI GINGHAM The monochrome version made headline news last month, but now it’s all about the yellow reincarnation. Just imagine how good it’ll look with a golden tan. HADES’ OVERHAUL Alexa Chung fuelled the Hades hysteria when she stepped out in its original ‘The Smiths’ jumper. Now the brand’s launched its second sweater instalment, and it’s even better... FINERY’S ROUND-THE-CLOCK TOP When money is tight (and you want everything in sight),…

Lemons are good for two things: 1) making margaritas and 2) wearing. While they might leave a sour taste in your mouth, this fruity motif is anything but bitter when it comes to our wardrobes. A regular on the D&G catwalk, they’re the ultimate summer statement and now they’ve hit the high street. Commit fully with H&M’s sheer lemon shirt dress, or tick off two trends in one with Glamorous’s wide-leg jumpsuit. If in doubt, this slogan tee will look the off-duty part with jeans and kicks. Whatever you choose, you’ll look the zest of the bunch. See what we did there? Zest ? We’ll stop now……

You know how Parisian girls look so good all the time? And no matter how hard you try, how many Instagram accounts you study or how many times you get your boyfriend to take a photo of you sitting in an outdoor café wearing a beret, you never quite feel the same? Well, we’ve found the secret: La Redoute. The brand – French, if you hadn’t already guessed – was founded in 1837 and in the 90s and 00s was the biggest player in the catalogue shopping game. Now, though, it’s so much more than coffee table clutter. Lately, La Redoute has worked with the likes of Saint Laurent, Isabel Marant and Jean Paul Gaultier – basically every high-profile fashion house known to man. It’s hardly surprising then, that the…

Holidays call for the following things: 1) A wax. 2) SPF. 3) New clothes. Trouble is, holiday dressing isn’t as easy as it seems. You never know quite what the day holds. Will you head back to the hotel to change after your daily activities? Or will your PM Pimm’s continue into the night? The mind boggles. That’s why we were happy to see so many day-to-night-appropriate outfits popping up on our #LWIW page. Throw a peasant frock over your bikini during the day and add jewellery after dark, or wear a wrap skirt as a sarong with your cossie and switch for a blouse when it gets cool later. The best bit? You’ll save loads of space in your suitcase. Duty free, here we come. Join the # LWIW…

“I love taking photos of my family” ‘Didn’t plan this photo – Romeo and I were going to see our little sister’s ballet recital and we bought her flowers. I took this when we were waiting outside and I love it’ He might belong to one of the most famous families in the world but it’s fair to say Brooklyn Beckham, 18, has done a pretty stellar job of carving out his own identity. Not only has the eldest son of the Beckham clan just released his own photography book What I See, he’s also heading to New York in August to study photography, reportedly at the prestigious Parsons School Of Design. Something tells us he won’t be taking a trip to Ikea to kit out his student digs.…

It goes without saying that we never imagined we’d be brushing our teeth with charcoal, but that’s exactly what we’re doing now thanks to Pearl Drops’ brilliant new Instant Natural White toothpolish. Not only has it turned our twice-a-day ritual into a more colourful endeavour (the paste proves more purple in tone than the inclusion of activated charcoal would suggest), but it’s also changed the way we brush our teeth for good. The toothsuepolish’s detoxifying properties help lift out impurities and shift stubborn stains, leaving you with a gleaming and noticeably whiter smile. And who doesn’t want that?…
