And more specifically, the five summer buys set to bag us all likes IRL and in Insta-life, minus any real effort. For ever since the SS17 lookbooks landed at Look HQ way back in September, we’ve been champing at the metaphorical (probs Gucci) bit to champion the Best Buys for Summer 2017™. This week it’s the turn of the five power brands – all destined to 'pull a Self-Portrait’ and become next season’s most spotted items. Hold onto your hats for: 1. @PiratesAndViolets – for services to the round straw basket bag. Pimp yours with pompoms as standard, £48. 2. @PampeloneClothing – a Look favourite. Treat yourself then sit back and watch the likes roll in. 3. @RaeFeather – for summer slides, ’spadrilles and statement clutches aplenty. Impossible to resist.…

“It’s a sign they’re carving out his celeb status already” In the past few weeks, we’ve done our fair share of speculating over Cheryl and Liam Payne’s chosen baby name. But while we went back and forth between Alfie, Taylor, Simon, Liam Jr (even Gary was thrown around a couple of times), we never anticipated the name Bear. While fans are pretty confused (one tweeted: 'Bear Payne is a feeling you get when you stand on Lego not a baby’s name’), we think baby Bear is seriously cute – and what’s more, we’ve got the inside scoop on why Cheryl, 33, and Liam, 23, may have chosen Bear. According to reports, the pair picked the name over a month after their baby was born because they felt it suited his…

Recent studies have revealed that 8/10 of us are still failing to adequately apply sunscreen before going out in the sun, meaning we’re exposing our skin to the danger of premature ageing, sunburn and cancer. Eek! But with more advanced fake tan formulas than ever, there’s really no need to scrimp on the SPF to get that sun-kissed appearance. From new-age sun protection to the modern ways to fake it, here’s Look’s guide to getting a summer glow the safe way… SPF 101  The highest risk months in the UK are May to September, with 30-40 % of UV still being able to penetrate through cloud cover. Arm yourself with our protection top picks. FACE FAVES 1 Vichy Idéal Soleil BB Cream, £ 16.50 – with SPF 50 and a…

Beyond keeping tabs on our exes (just us?), Instagram provides us with the capacity to do a lot of other things – like scoping out new fashion labels. The latest brand to hit our radar? Dr. Denim. Joining the illustrious Scandi style ranks, the company was founded in a basement in Sweden by two brothers, who proceeded to launch an offering of the best, most effortless denim we’ve ever seen. Hardly surprising, then, that the Instagram style circuit is overflowing with #ootd shots featuring the label. Each pair of jeans is likely to set you back around £45 and you can choose from 'skin tight’, 'tight’, 'regular’ or 'loose’ fit. As well as jeans, there are tops, skirts, jumpsuits, dresses, dungas and jackets, too. The fact that ASOS has already…

Top, £89.99, Gracia at Ownthelook.com 8am: After getting dressed, I attempted to eat breakfast, during which my sleeve dipped into my cereal bowl and got drenched in milk. Promptly mopped it up and continued with optimism. 8.30am: Tried to straighten hair. Ended up straightening my sleeve. ghds 1, sleeve 0. 9.30am: Boarded the bus and got my sleeve caught in the door. Embarrassing doesn’t cut it. 11.25am: Loo break. Sleeve winds up in the sink. Thank goodness it wasn’t the toilet… 11.30am: A man held the door open for me after said disastrous loo break.

Who Spends The Most On Haircuts? Scots are the big spenders. Edinburgh residents top the table with an average yearly spend of £152.97 on their haircuts, while surprisingly Liverpudlians spend the least. They aren’t likely to fork out more than £95.96 on annual trips to the salon Women spend 43 % more on haircuts than men do We’re a nation of non-complainers. 40 % is the percentage of Brits who wouldn’t complain about a bad haircut Brits spend more than £ 38,000 on haircuts in their lifetime.

'I’m a bit embarrassed by how much my everyday make-up is worth! But, thanks to my job, I’m lucky enough to try a lot of these for free.

IT’S NOT… What it says on the tin – 'Dick’ is actually a person. THE PLOT… Adapted from the revolutionary feminist novel by Chris Kaus, the story follows struggling married couple Chris (Kathryn Hahn) and Sylvere (Griffin Dunne) who – after temporarily relocating from New York to Texas – both become obsessed with a professor named Dick (Kevin Bacon). The show’s co-creator Sarah Gubbins says: 'There’s nothing else like it. It’s so ferocious and honest and you can’t look away from the way in which it’s narrated… The journey [Chris] has to take isn’t a pretty one, but it allows the audience to want to be a part of it.’ YOU’LL LOVE… Kathryn Hahn (also known for playing Michelle in How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days).

“He’s told the world such intimate details” Currently in the depths of negotiating their hugely complicated divorce proceedings, exes of seven months Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are once again at loggerheads after Brad spoke out last week in a candid new interview. It seemed the pair had finally set aside their differences after Brad declared during the interview that he and Ange, 41, were 'working together to sort this out’. But, according to a close friend speaking exclusively to Look , Ange – who was aware of the interview – had no idea of the depth of detail Brad would go into about their marriage, his alleged struggles with alcohol and the kids. 'I can’t remember a day since I got out of college when I wasn’t boozing or…

There’s just something about Victoria Beckham. Despite running a global fashion empire at the same time as being a full-time mum, she quite literally glows. Even though she’s in and out of different time zones and hopping on and off jets, she makes it look effortless. You too can channel the fashion designer by following her tricks for an über-healthy lifestyle… WORK OUT, HARD ‘I work out every day. I do either Tracy Anderson, SoulCycle, or Barry’s Bootcamp. I get up about 6am, work out, get the kids up, get them changed, give them breakfast, take them to school, then do more working out before I go to the office. And to do all of that, I’ve got to fuel my body correctly.’ FIND THE FOODS THAT SUIT YOU ‘I…

“ Pleated skirts were huge news last season and they’re still on my radar. I love the foil finish on this gold midi – it was made for the dancefloor. Give your feminine separates an edgy overhaul with leather pieces to offset the prim vibe. ” “ Don’t be afraid to go top-to-toe pastel; the trick to getting it right without looking like a giant cupcake is to work in nude or beige hues where you can.

Canada has bestowed us with many an amazing thing: maple syrup, the Canadian tuxedo (AKA double), not to mention the two Ryans – Gosling and Reynolds. Now, though, we’re coveting something else born CA-side. With shoes prettier than Justin Trudeau’s face (we’re obviously joking; nothing’s prettier than his face), Montreal-based brand L’Intervalle’s meteoric rise to style stardom was inevitable. Following in the cult-status footsteps of Jessica Buurman, L’Intervalle offers up some of the best could-be-designer shoes we’ve ever seen – from Céline-esque slip-ons to Gucci-inspired oriental block heels – so it’s no surprise influencers are snapping up its standout boots and sassy lace-up numbers. With prices that won’t break the bank, there’s no excuse not to treat yourself to a pair of Canada’s finest. Even if your SO doesn’t approve,…

“ As you get older you realise people aren’t perfect ” If you’re wondering whether Hailey Baldwin looks like she does in her Instagram photos, the answer is yes. Yes she does. As soon as we sit down to chat with the 20-year-old It girl in Paris, we realise that, unlike other celebrities, she definitely doesn’t edit her photos. Daughter of Hollywood actor Stephen Baldwin, BFFs with Kendall Jenner and Bella Hadid and a model for labels such as Ralph Lauren and Dolce & Gabbana, she’s a social media sensation – and it’s easy to see why. After all, amassing 9.9m Instagram followers doesn’t just happen to anybody. Now, in her role as L’Oréal Professionnel INOA and Pro Fiber ambassador, Hailey is confident, cool and refreshingly honest. Miss Baldwin means…

‘EXTREME YOU’ MEANS... ‘Stepping up to take the kinds of risks that will propel you forward, taking ownership and learning from the consequences of these actions, because you know that your greatest potential is not found in your comfort zone,’ explains Sarah. Here’s how to adopt her strategy now: 1 CHECK YOURSELF OUT  ‘Success is understanding who you are, how you are naturally wired and what moves you,’ says Sarah. It’s also about being open to change. ‘Take an inventory of your year, look at your activities, holidays and plans.’ If it’s all the same, think about how you can switch it up. 2 GET OUT OF LINE If you want something, how can you approach it from a different angle? Stop ‘queueing’ and get yourself noticed. If you want…

By Look’s Fashion News and Commercial Content Editor Maxine Eggenberger, who met Victoria at her store launch. If there ever was a pinch-me moment, this was it… ‘They say you should never meet your heroes. But when the opportunity arose to meet one of mine, I threw caution to the wind and did it anyway. I’ve followed Victoria Beckham through her days as a pop star right up to the moment she became a fashion darling. So, when I finally came face-to-face with her, I crumbled. She was just so striking. She’s rarely seen without her oversized sunnies, so it was a revelation to see her sans glasses, looking radiant. Even with a hefty to-do list, she looks like she’s got her full eight hours every…

When Instagram Stories first became a thing, we could barely contain ourselves. The novelty of adding pizza emojis, drawing stars and bestowing ourselves with heart-shaped sunnies just never gets old. Now we’ve noticed said sunglasses (along with the aviators and retro roundies) are available to buy IRL, and they’re just as enjoyable in physical form. If you’re not as bold as you are behind the screen (let’s face it, who is?), go for the yellow aviators – but we fully advise you go all-out with a heart pair. Whichever you choose, rest assured you’ll look just as good as you do virtually. We tried it out and it was a huge success story. See what we did there? Story? Success story? We’ll stop…

Joining us on our #GetRealIssue crusade were some of Instagram’s most influential faces and, most importantly, you.
