CLEAVAGES For if certain fash eds are to be believed, today is a dark day for cleavage. 'The cleavage is OVAH!’ proclaim some; 'Chest cracks are whack!’ bark others. But why are plunging necklines destined for the big fitting room in the sky? Women now prefer to show off a shoulder, a hint of mid, or drop a leg bomb or two, so say some. In 2016, a flash of cleavage is considered trashy. But before you mummify what your mama gave you and swaddle yourself up to the earlobes – stop! Some of us aren’t ready to bury our boobs just yet. As far as shopping stats go, clavicle cracks are no more on the slide than Beyoncé, with #BoobCleavage stable on Google Trends. While the peach (bottom) emoji…

Gone are the days when customised pieces were reserved for A-listers and influencers – personalisation has become big news on the high street too, enabling those of us on modest budgets (read 99 per cent of us) to get a piece of the beautifully bespoke action. Nothing makes us feel more special, after all, than a custom-made item, be it a monogrammed necklace, an embroidered bomber or, in this case, the bag we all wanted but couldn’t have. Let us take you on a journey back in time to 2015, when basically every blogger worth noting was besotted with a certain textured leather cross-body complete with stunning, rainbow-hued initials. As the beautiful bags began flooding our feeds, we set out on a quest to find the source, and it didn’t…

Can you believe it’s been seven long years since Cheryl released her first solo single Fight For This Love in 2009? A lot’s changed since then. Not only has she had nine hit singles, the 33-year-old’s been divorced twice – most recently ending her marriage to Jean Bernard Fernandez-Versini in court after a long-running battle. Now she’s loved-up with 1D’s Liam Payne, who she’s apparently set to marry next year, while the pair are yet to confirm any 'pregnancy’ despite the recent speculation. And insiders have told Look that now she’s feeling more settled in her life, Cheryl’s about to make a huge U-turn in her career, moving away from music. Nooo! The former singer is keen to seek to carve out a more wholesome image for herself, citing Victoria…

Temples / Eyebrows Getting spots here could suggest poor circulation or eating too much processed food. Drinking plenty of water is key and cut down on sugary foods. Use products with salicylic acid to keep the pores clean. Try Nip+Fab Teen Skin Fix Breakout Rescue Pads, £ 9 . 99 to mop up excess oil. Ears A weird one, but getting spots around your ears could suggest kidney problems. It could just be dehydration and one too many coffees. Try reducing your salt and caffeine intake, drink loads of water and make sure you’re washing out shampoo thoroughly, as this could block pores. Formula 10 . 0 . 6 So Totally Clean 2 -in- 1 Cleanser & Toner for oily & troublesome skin, £ 8 . 99 is fab for…

With three older rugby-playing brothers, Laura Wright, 26, was 'on a mission’ to prove to her dad that she was just as strong. We reckon she accomplished that good 'n’ proper. Rugby, Crossfit, Olympic weight lifting and soprano singing… this girl does it all. WHY RUGBY? ‘It’s a really open and accepting environment. The best thing about rugby is that whatever shape you are there’s a position for you, specific to your shape. I loved the fact that although I’m a bit taller and skinnier than the other girls, it works to my advantage.’ GET STRONG WITH SPRINTS ‘Whenever I do sprints, I wake up the next morning and my abs are in agony; you don’t realise that you’re actually using so many body movements. Sometimes I take my dog…

Make water fun! ‘Swap sugary drinks for homemade flavoured water to stay hydrated throughout the day. Add things like mint, lemon, cucumber or even a few berries. I’ve noticed on the days that I don’t add my usual mint and lemon, I tend to drink less water.’ Taking the perfect food shot ‘Always use natural light and don’t over process the photos using photo-editing apps so as to retain the truth of the scene. Try to focus on the details too; add interesting objects to the scene where possible.’ Simple snacking ‘Whizz a handful of almonds and pecans, a handful of shredded coconut, half a cup of oats, a tablespoon of coconut oil and two dates in a food processor. Place in baking cups and bake for eight or nine…

Transcending Coco Chanel’s original colour palette, the classic combo of black and white has made as much of an impact on our homes as it has on our wardrobes. Sure, we may flirt with kaleidoscope colours, but interiors don’t come much more chic than this. Monochrome magic is tipped to be the2017 homeware trend for everything from armchairs to artwork – just be sure to mix in prints and unexpected textures to stop your abode from becoming a life-size chess set. 'If monochrome’s too stark for your liking but you still want to nail the graphic vibe, try injecting a pop of colour into the scheme. A bold blue throw will instantly lift a black and white bedroom.’ MAXINE EGGENBERGER, FASHION NEWS EDITOR…

WATCHING: THE MISSING, BBC1 ‘Alice goes missing and returns years later, but is she who she says she is? Nobody has a clue what’s going on yet in this Scandi-inspired thriller, but we just know the ending is going to be insane.’ Anna Duff, Online Writer READING: SMOKE BY DAN VYLETA (W&N, £14.99) ‘This novel was recommended to me by a friend, who was addicted from the first page. Set in an alternate London on the cusp of revolution, smoke is a sign of sin and evil – the cleaner you are, the higher you’re regarded in society. With hints of Philip Pullman’s novels, I think this will be something I can get my teeth into’ Rose Owens, Art Director STREAMING: POWER, NETFLIX ‘Produced by and starring 50 Cent, it’s…

We’ve found what may be the best collection yet. Finery’s latest offering is stop-you-in-the-street fantastic. Where to begin? Perhaps with the lilac lace midi dress?

“She wants to get on with her life. Hugo’s ‘the one’ ” Silence has been golden for Millie Mackintosh this week after the star seemed to remain tight-lipped over the release of Professor Green’s explosive new single One Eye On The Door. While the rapper’s recent interviews and latest lyrics seem to slam their two-and-a-half-year marriage, Millie – who’s now loved-up with ex-boyfriend and former Made In Chelsea toff Hugo Taylor – avoided retaliation, instead posting a chic Instagram photo of a recent shoot and appearing to exude a calm, unfazed composure. In fact, 27-year-old Millie’s life appears to be business as usual. Sources at an event with her last week revealed that she’s 'not bothered’ by the revelations from her ex-husband Professor Green (AKA Stephen Manderson), despite the fact…

“It’s easy to see why Benedict is so beloved” Here we are, in a swanky hotel room, watching as Rachel McAdams springs up from her chair (in Louboutins, no less) to adjust the air-conditioning. We happened to mention that we felt a bit chilly,and she’s only too willing to correct that. Yes, the 38-year-old really is that nice. We’re here to chat about her latest role as Dr Christine Palmer opposite Benedict Cumberbatch in Marvel’s blockbuster Dr Strange. Along the way, we discover that not only is she nice (and flawlessly beautiful) she’s also a super-hard worker who still gets butterflies before hitting the red carpet. As well as all that, she’s our new best friend, although she might not know that yet… Tell us about your character, Christine. She’s…

Perspex Purpose The perspex heels trend has been gathering pace for a while, but as Toga’s SS 17 show proved, it’ll still be big next season. The high street is giving us everything from ankle boots to mules and loafers, so you can wear these transparent treats with everything. STRICTLY SHOES Ballroom fever is gripping the nation. No, we’re not referring to the weekly BBC broadcast, but instead fashion-conscious women everywhere. These strappy slingbacks look as though they’ve tangoed right out of Dirty Dancing and onto the high street shelves – and we’re digging it. ASOS, Office and New Look are really knocking this one out of the park. We’ll wear with cropped jumpsuits and midi frocks or, for the brave, try with opaque tights and minis. Warning: spontaneous dance…

Suddenly, everyone’s ill. In fact, most of us will have at least one cold every year*. Whilst permanently carrying a tube of anti-bacterial gel and donning a surgical face mask might be the obvious no-cold solution, it’s not really err… stylish. Elizabeth Wall, nutritionist at Holland & Barrett reveals some easier options. 1 EAT THE RAINBOW Don’t ditch the green smoothie just yet, but add some variety. Elizabeth explains: ‘A rainbow of colours will ensure you’re getting a combination of the different nutrients available.’ 2 IMMUNITY SUPERBOOSTERS Add this to your daily supplement list, pronto. The herb Echinacea could help reduce the number of colds you get if you take it throughout the winter season for at least 10 days, and if you do pick up a bug, it may…

Now the nights are drawing in, going out is less appealing than snuggling up in front of the telly – but by throwing a party you get the best of both worlds. Here’s how to keep everyone happy… 1 Ask Everyone To Get Involved You can’t expect to stock up on booze like your local offie – it’ll cost you a fortune. Instead ask people to clear out their cupboards and try making a punch. Put it on the FB group, pronto. 2 Plan Ahead Turn the thermostat down (a group produces a lot of body heat and you don’t want a sweaty do) and cook dishes that can all be sorted in advance, then leave an instant camera out for those missed moments. 3 Think About Flow People always…

Cryotherapy isn’t exactly a new phenomenon. From the Greek words 'cryo’, meaning cold, and 'therapeia’, to cure, the treatment – which uses extreme low temperatures to boost outer beauty – has been around since Ancient Greece. But now cryotherapy’s having a moment with new in-salon and at-home treatments giving us our dose of easy freezing fun. In Salon THE TREATMENT: 111CRYO Loved by the likes of Millie Mackintosh, Rosie Fortescue and Roxie Nafousi. Enter the ice-cold chamber housed at Harvey Nichols for three minutes while it’s plunged to - 90 °C. Jump around and try your best to stay warm – warning: it ain’t easy! THE RESULTS? An instant glowing complexion with the promise of a speedier metabolism, muscular recovery and anti-inflammatory skin benefits for conditions such as psoriasis and…

William Shakespeare once wrote that 'the eyes are the windows of the soul’. Sure, the guy had a way with words but, if you ask us fashion types, handbags reveal more about you than a gaze ever could (soz, Will). However, the bag you choose isn’t your only identifier – it’s the way you carry your arm candy that really gives the game away. The big question is, does your toting style match up with your personality? There’s only one way to find out… ARM CROOKER The A-list method of choice, you wear your bag like a badge of honour – a reflection of your self-affirmed status. You’re confident, cool, stylish, and always a step ahead of the pack. Be careful, though; your ego and your massive tote might not…

Whether it’s down to the ban on microbeads or the wave of green-juice drinkers taking over the country, there’s been a huge rise in the demand for natural beauty. And now the boffins are taking it back to basics, using herbs to pimp up our skincare. But you don’t need a degree in botanics or access to a pestle and mortar to see why these traditional ingredients get a massive yes from us. Coriander Not just for your curries, coriander contains Omegas 3, 6 and 9, which deeply nourish the skin, leaving it hydrated and smooth. TRY: Aesop Coriander Seed Body Cleanser, £17 Herb Hero Product: Kiehl’s Midnight Recovery Concentrate, £37, kiehls.co.uk Rosemary As well as smelling g-r-e-a-t, rosemary helps to retain moisture and brighten the skin. Sounds good to…

GLITTER ARCHES ‘We mocked glitter hair and then a few months later we were dropping the sparkly stuff all over our roots, so this look, spotted at Giambattista Valli, is one we just had to check off.
