Table of contents for 21 November 16 in Look

BUY IT NOW OK fine, the US election has cropped up once or twice. Yet – in the interests of democracy – this is also the week that New Look joins the 'See Now, Buy Now’ shopping revolution. NL HQ is following in the (probably stilettoed) footsteps of Burberry and Tommy Hilfiger, and releasing a preview edit of next season, now. Put simply – EVERYONE can shop their SS17 collection *live* from the New Look SS17 press launch, and minus the whole horrible 'having to wait months for items to drop into store’ thing. On the morning of 23 November New Look will release 19 items of clothing and 7 styles of shoes to buy at New Look.com. This is GREAT news for fashion fiends and shopaholics (aka all of…

I’m just a small-town girl, which is not, in fact, any sort of ode to the Journey song. It is, however, necessary for you to understand before I share with you my love for one of the stalwarts of the British high street. When I was around 13, my parents gave me the greatest gift of all: freedom. Off I went, birthday money in (cargo) pocket, to catch the Delaine bus – this is a very specific reference to my hometown, but one I hope the population of Bourne will appreciate – on my own for the very first time. It was just me, my friend and our hopes and dreams. And we took them to town, quite literally. We took them through town, to be precise, and all the…

Sequins become my new outfit go-to, my diet consists of mince pies and hot chocolate and, try as I may, I'll be humming Mariah Carey until the reindeers come home. Yep, Christmas is coming, but with it comes the stress of finding the perfect gifts. This year I plan on alleviating that, thanks to Matalan’s treasure trove of cute gifts and luxe trinkets. Featuring a metallic colour palette, the collection ticks off everything from toasty hot water bottles to glam jewels. Make Matalan your one-stop shop this festive season and I guarantee you'll officially win Crimbo.

Cheryl’s divorce from Jean-Bernard Fernandez-Versini was granted last month, but on 5 November JB appeared to throw shade at his ex. He posted a Denzel Washington motivational memo to Instagram, reading: ‘Never help an ungrateful person get on their feet. It’s like telling a wolf that you’re a sheep. Real didn’t recognize real til fake showed up.’ Just four days later, on 9 November, Liam appeared to tell someone to butt out of his private life when he uploaded a cryptic picture of a house with a street sign that reads ‘Liam Ln. PRIVATE’ and the caption: ‘Stay in your lane’ – a polite way of saying: ‘Mind your own business’……

Aquarius 20 JANUARY-19 FEBRUARY YOU ARE: Fun, outgoing and brave when it comes to fashion. You don’t necessarily stick to trends but your creativity means you always look cool and never the same as anyone else. That’s every girl’s dream, then. CELEB STYLE MATCH: Emma Roberts WHAT TO WEAR: Colour, colour and more colour. Throw a few prints into the mix for a bolder daytime look, or stick to block hues and experiment with shapes after dark. Pisces 19 FEBRUARY-20 MARCH YOU ARE: The epitome of girly. ’Nuff said. CELEB STYLE MATCH: Olivia Palermo WHAT TO WEAR: Anything pastel-hued. Think floaty, romantic pieces with a sprinkling of fairy dust for added prettiness – although we’re not sure where you get fairy dust. Soz. Aries 21 MARCH–19 APRIL YOU ARE: To…

John Lewis Does It Again Only one thing could cheer us up after last week’s Trump news: the John Lewis Christmas TV ad. This year Buster the Boxer glumly watches woodland animals bounce on a trampoline (that’s a present for a little girl called Bridget) on Christmas Eve to the sound of One Day I’ll Fly Away, sung by Brit band Vaults, before he finally gets his turn on Christmas morning. When it was released on Thursday it was trending on Twitter, while there’s a Buster Snapchat filter and you can even buy cuddly toy versions of the animals. We feel better already. STARBUCKS PAINTS THE TOWN RED Following last year’s backlash over the plain design, Starbucks enlisted customers to create something more Christmassy. There are 13 different cups designed…

'Usually, my first party port of call is to secure a killer dress, but this year getting my hands on this padded coat has become priority. Layered over a silk slip dress, paired with a leopard mini or shoulder-robed over a jumpsuit, it’s too good to take off.’ After months of avoiding human contact, we’re approaching the time of year when our social calendars are packed with events and parties that, try as we may, we just can’t get out of. From office dos to cocktails with the girls, and culminating with New Year’s Eve, the soirées are endless – and, thanks to Facebook and Instagram, you’ll probably need a new outfit for each. Cheers for that, technology. Chances are, you don’t have endless cash to splash on party frocks,…

One of autumn’s biggest identifiers is when canine checks creep on to our clothes; it’s a style rite of passage we can’t ignore, mainly because the high street has mountains of the stuff. Inspired by the uneven shape of a dog’s tooth (we kid you not), the monochrome motif has been rekindled by a pack of designers, including Dolce & Gabbana, Balenciaga and Topshop Unique. Go for oversized checks to make a firm fashion statement, or try clashing smaller motifs with stripes – though we recommend accessorising both with a cute pooch……

OTT OUTERWEAR • It couldn’t be easier to up your outerwear game this season, thanks to sunny mustard shades in luxe fabrics. Why not work in a bold knit for an autumnal take on colour blocking? ‘Chunky knits are my winter go-to – they’re a quick and easy way to make any outfit look effortlessly cool.’Anna, size 12 COSY COOL • One of the easiest ways to tap into this new colour trend is with knitwear.

Pairing them with boots is a clever way to bring them into winter.’Amy, size 8 TOP OF THE CROPS • When your cropped kick flare jeans just aren’t cutting it any…

PRETTY PICASSO PEEPERS ‘Turn your eyes into real life works of art using tips and tricks borrowed from the Fendi runway. Take your time with this one; it’s not a 10-minute wonder. Stick on a playlist and carefully apply the prods until you resemble catwalk queen Kendall Jenner.’ MAKE IT WORK (IRL*) 1 Use a small brush to press yellow, cyan and green eyeshadow into the inner corner of the eye. 2 Using a fine brush, apply a rich purple on the outer corner of the eye, running it along the lower lash line. Then create two polka dots using pink and yellow coloured liquid liners. 3 Run a black liner along the lower lash line and water line before smudging out with your finger.

Luxe leggings, intricate designs and pretty prints – Varley is the label that the whole Look office is coveting. Created by Lara and husband Ben Mead, they started the London-based Varley activewear brand back in 2014 inspired by a trip to California. 'I think our main source of inspiration comes from travelling and our general surroundings,’ says Lara. 'We spend half our year in California and the other half in Europe. I think this is a catalyst for the majority of our inspiration and creative outlook.’ The brand, who dropped their latest collection last week are focused on combining performance with fashion designs, so it’s no wonder they’ve picked up not only an army of Insta-fans (38k and counting) but also celeb-worshippers including model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Alessandra Ambrosia, Lily Collins,…

I DON’T RESTRICT MYSELF ‘If I am really trying to be fit, I make sure I don’t eat for a certain period before bed, for me it’s about four or five hours before. Someone told me the best time to stop eating is 12 hours before you wake up. I EAT CARBS ‘I’ve done every diet and actually,eating bread works for me. After a while of not having it, you crave it and then when you do eat it, your body takes it in and goes ‘wow, what’s this?’, and then it sticks to you. I need the energy. My body needs carbs!’ I LIKE TO TWERK ‘There’s this dance cardio class that I take whenever I can, it’s called Twerk Before You Work. It’s a lot harder than it…

#1 TREAT OF THE WEEK One spritz of this and you’ll be transformed into J-Lo circa 2004: velour-clad and topping the charts. Well, not quite, but this sparkly, pink ribboned perfume looks as good as it smells. With notes of orange and jasmine mixed with rose and peony, we doubt even Jenny smells this good.

Boyfriend, duster, wrap – these coat incarnations may pack a stylish punch, but when it comes to functionality, they always fall short to the feather-down parka. Sure, they’re impossibly warm, but we’d be lying if we said the sensible coat didn’t previously carry a stigma in fashion circles. However, thanks to Canada Goose, that’s all changed. You no longer have to sacrifice your outfit cred in order to don one – in fact, the outdoorsy cover-up has been elevated to icon status with the help of Olivia Palermo and Emma Stone, who’ve given it a glossy overhaul. The big question is, will you go for the real McCoy or one of these high-street homages? OUR #1 THANKS TO ITS SUPER-THICK PADDING AND OVERSIZED FAUX FUR HOOD, THIS NUMBER HAS BEAT…

What do Gigi Hadid, Jenners Kylie and Kendall, Eva Longoria, Whitney Port and Victoria’s Secret model Jasmine Tookes all have in common? Well, aside from the obvious (y’know, worldwide fame, massive social media followings, jet-set lifestyle…) they all happen to have a wardrobe stocked with pieces from Lavish Alice. Yep, despite their access to the biggest luxury fashion houses in the world, the A-listers can’t get enough of this high street hero and, looking at the brand’s latest collection, neither can we. The fusion of architectural shapes and modern silhouettes with classic, straight-up sex appeal is unique to Lavish Alice, which specialises in floor-skimming dresses with in-built capes, structured jumpsuits and co-ords galore. From tuxedo all-in-ones and lace shifts to slinky velvet frocks and a smattering of sequins, this season…

“VB is anxious how fame will affect her kids” As Victoria Beckham prepares to publicly support Eva Longoria-Bastón, 41, at her BFF’s Global Gift Gala in London’s Corinthia Hotel this weekend, Look can exclusively reveal that behind the scenes – in the world of VB – the busy working mum of four is set on 'empowering’ her own brood. But Keeping Up With The Kardashians’ matriarch Kris Jenner, 61, shouldn’t fear losing her 'momager’ crown just yet, because the former Spice Girl doesn’t want to be a pushy mum to Brooklyn, 17, Romeo, 14, Cruz, 11, and Harper, five. 'With Brooklyn and Romeo carving out their own future careers, Victoria is desperate to avoid being one of those overly demanding “showbiz momagers” that you see behind a lot of young…

Colour trends come and go but if there’s one shade on the spectrum that’s a guaranteed wardrobe winner this winter, it’s mustard. Yep, it was seen all over the AW 16 catwalks (from velvet dresses at Valentino to tulle gowns at Chloé) and the high street has been hot to follow suit. Part sunshine yellow, part tan brown, this can be a hard colour to pin down. But thanks to our fave new style app Snap Fashion, you can browse your favourite high street stores and online retailers in seconds without even leaving the sofa. Hurrah! Their nifty colour search tool allows you to select a specific shade of your choice. At the time Look went to press, we found over 180 results of mustard-coloured items alone. Wowsers! Here’s a…

Magic Is In The Air… In a matter of days, Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them will hit our screens – and we’re wingardium levio-so excited. Think Draco after he was turned into a ferret, jumping up and down excited. Not only because the film stars Eddie Redmayne and, well, have you seen his face? But also because it sounds epic. Based on the Hogwarts textbook, the film follows Newt Scamander – a magizoologist (someone who studies magical creatures). Once you’ve seen the film, you’ll need to plan your next HP fix.
