ANTI-STRESS SALES Hello, my name’s Maxine and I’ve got a confession to make – I detest sales shopping. Always have; long before my official career in fashion began. On Boxing Day, driving past the half-mile long queues outside the local Next pitying the poor souls shivering in the cold became as much of a family tradition as opening presents, eating turkey and consuming more Ferrero Rochers than should be humanly possible. Then came the internet, which brought all the carnage and mob mentality of sales shopping into my front room, affecting my closest family and friends. I was alone, isolated in my abstinence and left bewildered as to what all the fuss was about. Now, though, I get it. Thanks to gadgets and gizmos (read: iPhones/apps/online baskets) aplenty (thanks for…

Endless queues, websites crashing, copious amounts of hair-pulling… It can only mean one thing: sales season has officially begun, and the hardest part is knowing where to start. Make snapping up a bargain a way less stressful endeavour thanks to our ultimate cut-price hitlist (with a few insider shopping tips thrown in for good measure)... H&M’S BARGAIN BUILDING BLOCKS Get chic on the cheap with H&M’s wardrobe basics “In sales season, you can always find really good quality coats for a fraction of the price. I usually go for something super-classic so it’s still relevant through to next winter too. It’s always freezing at the beginning of the year, so you’ll get loads of wear out of it, plus you can never have enough coats – it’s pretty much the…

PURPLE LIPSTICK It was the year of the liquid lippie and deep berry purple shades rocketed above reds in the standout lip stakes. GLITTER LIPS From the runways to red carpet (and our Insta feeds along the way) glitter lips had a major moment. Easy to do and surprisingly long-lasting, it’s a trend we reckon is set to continue into 2017. HOLOGRAPHIC LIPS Thanks to the £14 Jouer Papaye lipstick that officially broke the internet, holographic lips were everywhere – and they're set to be even bolder this year… RAINBOW HAIR Pastel hair had a makeover with full-on rainbow locks taking over our Instagram feeds. Pixie Lott’s Paint hair colour chalks are perfect for DIYing the look at home without the commitment. MIRROR NAILS After Gigi Hadid’s £1,600 Met Gala…

Whether it’s tartan, gingham or Prince of Wales, our love of checks knows no sartorial bounds. Second only to classic Breton stripes, grid motifs have long been an outfit stalwart for those in the know, but now there’s a new print on the block worthy of our attention. Formerly associated with lumberjacks – yes, those in the business of logging – block red and black checks have been awarded #ootd status thanks to the likes of Zara and Isabel Marant, who’ve given the casual staple a glossy overhaul. Warning: you may feel a sudden urge to yell 'Timber!’ but don’t worry, these outfits won’t fall short (ahem). Think slinky slip dresses, cocoon coats and pelmet skirts and you’re on the right track. Of course, there are plenty of shirts to…

The silence of Kim Kardashian since her harrowing Paris robbery in October has been deafening. Ambushed by five armed men dressed in police uniforms, bound, gagged and thrown in a bathtub while more than £9 million worth of personal jewellery was stolen from her, Kim’s ordeal immediately threw everything about the Kardashian’s lifestyle into question. The undisputed queen of social media chose to handle her healing process with a 10-week hiatus from the public eye, which was finally broken when she uploaded a cheeky twerking video on 14 December. But prior to that, she completely distanced herself from the life she’s so famously led for the past decade. She chose instead to focus on her family – daughter North, three, and son Saint, 13 months – and husband Kanye West.…

Wine O’Clock Switch up your traditional red lip for a rich purple. Super-flattering plummy shades lift sallow skin tones, while flushed cheeks make this extra- wearable. Pass the vin rouge! 1 Wash over your eyelids with a velvety grey eyeshadow, then apply mascara. 2 Using your second and third fingers, apply a cream blusher in circular motions for a subtle glow. 3 Create a strong lip base using a wine-coloured liner to stop your lipstick bleeding. On top, apply a richly coloured lipstick. Your Kit “LOOK SAYS: Glitter can be a little rough on lips. Buff them over with baby oil once your carriage has dropped you home” Disco Pout Do your best Bella Hadid at Fendi impression with gold, shimmering lips. Surprisingly easy to recreate, it adds wow…

Kids don’t have any sense of perspective. The world isn’t going to end if the new Baby Born isn’t there on Christmas morning, but it sure as hell seems like it. Here are the gifts the Look team always wanted as kids, but never got. Boo-hoo. Maxine Eggenberger, Fashion News Editor: Tamagotchi ‘My mum never gave in to fads and when she did she’d get me the knock-off version. By then, nobody was even playing with them. Yeah, cheers for that, Mum.’ Anna Duff, Digital Writer: A Barbie Convertible ‘I did everything to try to re-create Bab’s pink four-wheel ride (and by everything, I mean ice cream tubs and all). Of course, this didn’t really cut it with the cool kids…’ Hannah Banks-Walker, Deputy Fashion News Editor: Baby All Gone…

THE NUDE BRA You never know what you’ll fall in love with in the sales. Will you try on a sheer black top? A white tee? A lacy party dress? Who knows! Wear a nude bra so you’re ready for anything. THE CAMI A cute cami looks as great worn under an oversized cardie as it does on its own – perfect for when you’re having a hot flush between stores... THE EASY-TO-SLIP-ON-AND-OFF JEAN Flattering and so on-trend, a mid-wash jean will complement every item you try on, plus they’re super-easy to get off! THE OVERSIZED CARDIGAN You may have dragged yourself out of bed/ away from a cheese board for this sale, but there’s no need to part with that ‘home for Christmas’ comfort. TIMEKEEPER Keep track of how…

Let’s not pretend: 2016 was a bit of a shocker. Mainly politically, but let’s not go there. Instead, I’d like to share with you my excitement over some brand new labels set to shake things up in 2017. I’m pretty certain that fashion will save us all so, without further ado, let me introduce you to Peggy Hartanto. Peggy creates what I can only describe as architectural works of art. Her eponymous label may only be four years old but Gigi Hadid, Lilah Parsons and Bella Thorne have already worn her pieces on the red carpet. But don’t think there’s an A-list price tag – everything starts at £90 and nothing is more expensive than £500. Peggy’s designs are currently stocked in Fenwick and online, with Selfridges and ASOS both…

Marc Jacobs Twinkle Pop Eyeshadow Stick, £22 These are great for New Year’s Eve parties, as they’re so easy to use – they glide onto the skin and the pigment is so strong it takes seconds to create a statement look.

There’s no denying that Michelle Keegan has had a super-successful 2016. And she’s set to have an even busier 2017 thanks to her role as Corporal Georgie Lane in BBC drama Our Girl, for which she’s scored rave reviews. Soon after Our Girl wrapped, Michelle, 29, was on the set of her next project, ITV drama Bobby And Tina.

Meanwhile, her husband Mark is tied up with…

Aries 21 March-19 April CAREER A question mark hangs over career and work in early January, but it’s not bleak – a complete change could be the answer. Go for the long-term plan rather than the quick fix and by late January you’re feeling much more confident – networking is key. MONEY Opt for online bargain-hunting in early March to see big returns. If you have a game plan for your autumn budget you’ll be in a great place by the end of the year. Investment dressing pays off at work. LOVE Sexy Mars and love planet Venus are in your sign throughout February and March bringing plenty of potential in the bedroom, while August eclipses bring excitement and drama. If you’re single, there’s a significant other on the cards,…

STATEMENT SKIRT • After spying this skirt we’ve decided it’s official: there isn’t a single item of clothing left that a ruffle hasn’t appeared on. With so much happening on the skirt you may want to keep things simple on top by showing just a peek of a chambray shirt for a subtle hint towards the DD look. ‘If you don’t already own a pair of denim culottes it’s time to invest pronto. They’re chic, timelessand will go with pretty much anything.’Anna, size 12 OPPOSITES ATTRACT • The number one rule to nailing double denim is to choose two different washes or shades. A soft stripy chambray blouse looks great when paired with dark indigo culottes. CLEVER LAYERING • ’60s style mini dresses are huge this winter but if you…

Beauty And The Beast The hotly anticipated live-action version of the Disney favourite is the first big film for us in 2017 (and possibly the best). The childhood tale we all know and love is pretty close to the original, so true fans won’t be left disappointed. Emma Watson as Belle in that dress and the formidable Beast, played by Downton’s Dan Stevens, make for a match made in Disney heaven. An age-old love story with a super British cast and plenty of movie magic – what’s not to like? RELEASE DATE: 17 March HYPE FACTOR: ✪ ✪ ✪ ✪ ✪ Baywatch The Malibu beach babes are returning in this remake of the 90 s TV show. Lifeguards Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson and Zac Efron discover…

There’s nothing I dread more than the annual post-Christmas gym rush but if anything will put a positive spin on those queues for the treadmill, it’s a brand new fit kit. Ever the sartorial saviour, Matalan has delivered a brilliant offering of workout wares, from the best bralets I’ve tried (and I’ve tried a few in my time) and on-point leggings that suit all, to comfy cover-ups that work long after your heart rate has settled.
