I’ve peaked. Holiday season’s only really kicking into gear and my two-week break to the Canary Islands has already been and gone. Sigh. So naturally, the only thing getting me out of bed in the morning is the prospect of booking another vacay. In fact, towards the end of my trip I was already frantically searching for a holiday deal from my sunlounger. How, you ask? By trawling through an endless stream of reviews on my phone, of course! To be honest, I can’t remember the last decision I made that was unaided by internet-based assessment algorithms. They help me determine where to travel, where to stay, what to eat, which book to read and, yes, which outfit to wear. While every issue of this fair magazine is essentially a…

“Vic’s had enough. She’s done a lot for David” Poor Victoria. She’s had to pull David out of the dirt once already this year (one word: Beckileaks) and now she’s having to do it all over again. While Vic’s adamant the family maintain a ‘Brand Beckham’ united front, according to pals she’s fuming that David, 42, has reportedly embarrassed the family again after a series of public spats. While the designer has been flourishing career-wise, even scooping an OBE for her services to the fashion industry, her family life has been far from plain sailing. ‘It’s been tough and Victoria’s now having to take charge of the family PR yet again – it’s all taking its toll,’ a source tells Look . More recently, David and Victoria’s relationship has been…

“I’m worried about the after-party!” Let’s be honest: here at Look, we’re desperate for another royal wedding. Street parties, Pimm’s, bridal dress inspo, Harry in a suit, an extra bank holiday… The list is endless. But if you too are frustrated that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have yet to make an announcement, fear not. While we’re not keen to pressure Harry or Meghan in any way, according to our sources, it’s happening any day now. And the signs are all there. Dust of your tiaras, guys – it’s definitely happening. FRIENDS ARE SPILLING THE BEANS Perhaps the biggest sign is Harry’s pal Kirstie Ennis not only confirming there will be a wedding, but also admitting there’ll be one hell of a reception – and if Wills parties as hard…

Although we may not need to remind you to drink responsibly, we also know that summer boozing can sometimes get a little bit out of hand. Sipping those G&Ts in the sun or partying until the early hours seemed like such a good idea at the time, but now our head is banging and our skin is looking lacklustre. But the good news is you can fix things! Well, a bit anyway. These complexion cures will give you back your glow no matter how bad you’ve been… 1 Night Only Hangovers not only make us want to hide in a hole, they also make us look a bit like we should. Gah! This is because alcohol deprives your skin of essential nutrients and vitamins, and basically sucks the skin dry…

It’s been revealed that women in the UK spend 29 minutes on average to create a ‘natural’ make-up look, with 86 per cent trying to make it look like they’re not wearing any make-up at all!* But 30 minutes creating a ‘no make-up make-up’ look is time we would rather spend snoozing. So here’s how you can cut your time in half, not to mention saving an hour and a half per week in the process… FACE BASE: 4 mins Even natural make-up starts with a flawless face base. But you don’t want to spend precious minutes priming, concealing and buffing your skin to perfection. Trade in your tools for a multi-use skin saviour like Bourjois City Radiance Skin Protecting Foundation, £7.99, that can prime, conceal and brighten all in…

BROOKLYN’S BIG MOVE Aww. Anyone else feel a bit emosh that the eldest Beckham boy is off to uni? He’ll be leaving for New York at the end of August to study photography at Parsons School of Design. DAVID’S MIAMI DEAL David first started publicly pursuing the deal in 2014 but has faced a series of hurdles. However, it’s believed the deal will be finalised in October this year. Fingers crossed… NEW YORK FASHION WEEK It’s a busy time for Vic. NYFW kicks off in September but VB usually spends the month prior in New York preparing for the event (which is considered a highlight of the week). We’re sure she’s even more excited this year, having Brooklyn only a few blocks away……

You’d usually expect to find fishing nets and plastic bottles washed up on the beach, but this season you’ll find them on the cyber rails. We need not remind you that eco fashion is having a moment – and now it’s taking over your swimwear wardrobe too. Brands are opting to use recycled polyamide yarn to create their cossies, making for sustainable swim attire. Because nothing makes you feel better than doing your bit for the environment as you sunbathe, are we right? Leonardo DiCaprio would be so proud. These are the stores doing it best… ASOS Found in the site’s brand glossary, the Eco Edit features everything from tops and jeans to these standout swimmers.

There’s only one problem with summer: as our social calendar fills up, so does our need for new outfits. It’s not all down to the can’t-wear-it-more-thanonce mentality, either. We mean, you wouldn’t hit the park in what you’d wear to a summer wedding, would you? Bearing this in mind you need to see the cream of the #LWIW crop, from a tiered midi frock that will do all the work on its own to frayed denim shorts and a tee. Just throw a basket bag into the mix and you’re basically a professional #FBlogger. Cheers for the inspo, ladies… Join the # LWIW Style Army FANCY GRACING THE PAGES OF LOOK ?

But transforming your struggles into success can happen – just take these fabulous women who confronted their issues and made their dreams come true in the process... *Sassy hair flick* GRACE: ‘I Turned My Pain Into My Passion’ Vlogger Grace Victory, 26, overcame her struggles when she set up her blog.

What’s the story? Based on the real-life story of the film’s writers, it’s about the relationship of Kumail and Emily – a couple struggling through cultural differences. When Emily ends up in hospital with a lung infection, she’s induced into a medical coma. Emily’s heartbreaking illness leads Kumail to confront his family, who were expecting him to have an arranged marriage. Who’s in it? Kumail Nanjiani, who co-wrote the film with his wife Emily V Gordon. Emily is played by Zoe Kazan. The movie also stars Holly Hunter and Ray Romano. Why should I care? It’s real and heartwarming and while you’ll definitely have to pack the tissues, Kumail will have you in fits of laughter too. Out 28 July ALSO OUT THIS WEEK Hounds Of Love (18) When Vicki…

In March, I was lucky enough to find myself in NYC. Joined by fellow journalists from around the world, Uniqlo – the Japanese-born brand known for its top-of-the-line wardrobe basics – had summoned us all for a special announcement: it was joining forces with J.W. Anderson. This was, and still is, big news, especially for those of us who’ve had no option but to gaze upon the designer’s Pierce bag from afar. Of course, this sort of collab is nothing new – some of you may even recall Anderson’s alliance with Topshop in September 2012 – but there’s something about this pairing that feels right. Fated. And it’s clear that Jonathan Anderson thinks the union was written in the stars, too. ‘For me, the point of doing this was that…

Paris-based clothing brand Leon & Harper has teamed up with impossibly chic style blogger Anne-Laure Mais of Adenorah to create the capsule collection of dreams, Adenorah X Leon & Harper. If you’ve not yet heard of Adenorah, she’s one to get on the radar. She’s clocked up an impressive 298k Instagram followers and has that easygoing French-cool vibe going on, with a style that’s totally relatable. Sure, the 26-year-old’s pieces don’t come cheap, but the classic shapes and prints will stand the test of time. Choose the floral Marguerite motif (our fave) or the hero polka dots, coming in the form of three sundresses, two wear-with-everything tops and a day-to-night navy jumpsuit. We guarantee you’ll be equally as excited about these ultra-chic pieces now as you will be next summer…

White denim is one of those trends that comes around every summer without fail. Why? It shows off that hard-earned holiday tan perfectly and works with everything in your wardrobe. What’s not to love? However, having said that, it’s not the easiest look to pull off, nor is it the most practical (spill potential is huge). But who cares when it looks this good? The easiest way to wear it is a classic slim-fit jean with a tucked-in Breton. Add oversized earrings and a red lip, slip on some espadrilles and you’ve instantly got yourself an ultra-chic weekend look. If nautical isn’t your thing, sling on a frayed-hem mini with a wrap top for an effortless after-dark ensemble. Dungarees will refresh your off-duty look, while those feeling brave should take…
