COMFORT …And it’s all down to Victoria Beckham, who has single-handedly made comfortable cool again. Fine – we also have Nike, Adidas and Gucci to thank for services to sneakers – but if we learnt one thing from NYFW, it was this: VB wants us to feel comfy. Low-slung waistlines, drawstring tops, flats… She calls her SS17 collection 'fresh and carefree’. We call it 'perfect fashion fodder if you love potatoes and hate blisters’ (all of us). Peeling off bandage dresses and stillys in favour of shirts and loafers, Posh has finally flicked her noughties alter ego the 'middle V’. For the rest of us? It means: 1. Your 'chilled Sunday’ outfit is now OK for bigwig board meetings too. 2. That baggy shirt’s set to become the hardest working…

 By now you’ll have cast aside your denim cut offs and crochet tops for another year, but there’s no need to dwell on outfits past. September is the time to upgrade your wardrobe and Matalan’s AW 16 offering is one of the best we’ve seen. As well as trusty jeans and Breton tops, the affordable shopping hotspot has upped its style cred tenfold with fierce frocks, cool camo prints and beaut shoes worthy of #fwis status. Throw in the occasional layering trick (this slip dress and casual tee combo is going to be our default look from now on) and what do you get? The coolest capsule this side of the catwalk, that’s what. 'Florals aren’t usually my style but, for this slinky dress, I’m willing to make an exception.…

They seemed to be so loved-up, however under the surface, cracks between Cara Delevingne and her fiancée Annie Clark who she dated for 18 -months were beginning to show, and the pair have called it off. But Cara’s desperate to get them back on track. ‘Cara is determined to get Annie back and has told friends that their relationship is by no means over – at least not for her,’ says our source. ‘She’s hoping the split is just temporary and they’ve been speaking daily in a desperate attempt to reunite.’ It was only a couple of months ago that Cara, 24 , was gushing about Annie, 33 , saying: ‘I’m completely in love,’ and then they were both seen wearing what looked like engagement rings in August, despite no…

CHLOE JACKSON FASHION EDITOR HEIGHT: 5FT 10IN *‘As far as problems go, being tall isn’t the end of the world but, when it comes to jeans shopping, it makes life pretty difficult. FYI high street, half mast is not the look I’m going for. But these jeans? They actually cover my ankles, which is nothing short of a miracle.’ GISELLE WAINWRIGHT FEATURES EDITOR HEIGHT: 5FT 4IN *‘I’m a “buy the same pair every.single. time” kinda girl and the MO is always the same: slim leg, dark shade, high waist. So it was a total shocker when these mid-rise cropped, ripped jeans stole my heart. The length’s super-flattering (by some miracle they don’t touch the floor) and I love how they give a smart shirt a casual downplay. Sure, they’ll look…

Throwback to this time last year and Cheryl is on our TV screens judging The X Factor, she’s in the ad breaks and she’s talking to all her fans on Twitter and Instagram. But 12 months on, she’s been very obviously absent – and it’s all very intentional, according to our sources. Cheryl, 33, has stepped away from things to focus on her relationship, after her two-year marriage to Jean-Bernard Versini ended in October 2015. We’re told things have moved at lightning speed for her and her boyfriend of nine months, 1D’s Liam Payne, 23. 'Cheryl and Liam are making massive plans for their future together,’ says our source. 'They’ve just taken a huge step as Liam’s moved in to her place, they are incredibly loved-up and know this time…

Ever since coconut oil burst onto the scene we’ve been spooning it into our saucepans, hoping to reap the nutritional benefits of so called 'good fats’. But is the coco craze really all it’s cracked up to be? Hannah Zussman, personal trainer and co-founder of This Is Good Macadamia Nut Oil reckons coconut oil 'has had its moment’. Ouch! 'Macadamia oil is crammed full of monounsaturated fats (the good ones), whereas coconut oil contains a whopping 85 per cent saturated fat. Macadamia oil only contains 12 per cent saturated fat.’ Hannah continues: 'In my opinion, coconut oil shouldn’t be used on a daily basis, unless you’re on a super-intense exercise plan. Macadamia nut oil on the other hand can be used every day and as it retains its benefits when…

BURBERRY BRIT HIGH STREET Yes! ‘INVEST NOW’ SAYS GILLY FERGUSON, EDITOR: When I say 'invest now’ I mean start saving now – then buy as soon as you can’t handle forgoing your daily coffee habit any longer. Why? Because this Burberry Brit coat is the sort of hero buy that will never date. The sort of buy to which style sorts will proclaim 'timeless!’, 'a classic!’, 'game-changing!’ and 'five stars!’ Yes – one-ish grand is a LOT of money. (Yes, I’m in denial and rounding it down already…) And yes, you will break out in guilty shopping sweats for a couple of weeks/months thereafter. But at a cost-per-wear of approx 0.2p per day for the rest of your life (NB that’s some loose maths right there) it’s very much worth…

Fashion week might look like fun, but behind the scenes it’s actually one of the most stressful times of the year – and we’re only attending! As a designer, showing your new collection is infinitely chaotic and pressured – and Victoria Beckham knows this only too well. Her recent New York Fashion Week show was Posh’s 17th season, but as per usual it was still super-stressful. Planning a show starts months in advance. First come the clothes – plotting, planning and consulting the buying habits of your customers as well as trying to create a vision that’s inspiring and unique. Not easy. Then there’s finding a venue, working out the logistics of shipping your range halfway across the world (from London to NYC in Victoria’s case), arranging security to make…

Beauty That Broke The Internet The must-have Instagram beauty buy of 2016 is finally here. Well, not quite the exact one, but 2true's Rainbeau Highlighter, £4.95, is a total doppelgänger of Bitter Lace Beauty’s version – which has a 5-6 month waiting list. Yep, for real!

IT’S A BOHEMIAN DREAM There’s a deeply spiritual side to Ibiza, which is perhaps why it was the island of choice for many travelling hippies in the 1960s. It’s all down to Es Vedra, a large mystical rock off the coast of Cala d’Hort, which legends say has healing and supernatural powers. #Spooky! IT HAS BEAUTIFUL BEACHES Take the ferry from Ibiza Port to Formentera (a small island that’s just a 35-minute boat ride away) to discover the crystal clear waters and white sandy beaches of Playa de ses Illetes and Cala Saona.
