WELCOME TO GLAMOUR’S WORK & MONEY SPECIAL! And the career chat starts right here, where I’ve decided to try to answer a question I’m asked a lot: what does a typical day look like for a magazine editor? Not sure I have many ‘typical’ days – lucky me – but I’ve documented a day: 6.30am Wake up, try to fire up, get up and get in the shower – all while wondering what the hell to wear. Today it’s a pair of flocked, floral trousers (#clothes my husband hates) because they don’t need ironing, and a long white shirt. Plus flat shoes. Always flats. I like to walk everywhere at a cracking pace. 6.50am Either eat breakfast – probably Oatibix and milk (who are these people who have time to…

As I sat in a hospital room almost 5,000 miles from home, I pleaded for my partner’s recovery. Next to me, Rob lay in a coma, his body covered in wires and his breathing controlled by a ventilator. It was the second night of our holiday in Sydney, in September 2014, when I awoke to Rob stumbling around our room. As I opened the curtains, he let out a piercing scream, clutching his head in agony. He suddenly started having a seizure and vomiting. At just 37, he’d suffered a brain haemorrhage, which triggered a stroke. Rob underwent 12 hours of surgery and, when he was brought out of his coma three weeks later, he couldn’t speak and was paralysed on his right side. Some rehabilitation units decided he was…

W hat does your weekly spend look like? Do you stab frantically at the ‘no’ button when the cashpoint asks if you want to know your balance? Or are you a budget queen who knows down to the last penny how much you have coming in and going out? Either way, chances are you rarely discuss finances. In fact, more than half of all women aged 18-34 say they feel awkward when it comes to money talk. We reckon it’s time to ditch the embarrassment and start the conversation; that’s why we’ve asked three women to open their money diaries and share everything about their weekly spend. They all earn roughly the average salary for a woman in the UK – £25,183 – but how do they spend it? The…

When was the last time you were praised for something at work and you replied, “Thanks, I worked really hard on that”? Chances are, it was more like, “I got lucky” or, “Could’ve been better.” We work ourselves to the bone, yet when our achievements are acknowledged, many of us shut it down. What’s up with that? I think it’s because of the selfdeprecating female culture we live in: we’re conditioned to believe that boasting is unseemly, that we’re more ‘likeable’ when we’re flawed. So, we belittle ourselves and apologise to avoid being branded as bitchy, arrogant or bossy. We are even applauded for belittling ourselves – you often hear, “She was so likeable and self-deprecating” about female celebs. It’s as if, by not admitting to our success, we’re making…

NATASHA STROUD, 30, ACCOUNTANT AT JUSTGIVING “I often have to communicate financial analyses throughout the organisation, so it’s important that I look professional. I’d never wear a hat or shorts to the office. I think some light tailoring goes a long way – Cos is great for formal yet fun workwear. My white silk tee goes with everything, but my favourite item is an orange printed Peter Pilotto dress. It was £350, but the cost-per-wear has definitely made up for it.” MARINA GOREY, 34, CO-FOUNDER OF SUPERAWESOME “I have a stylish team who nail the ‘I’ve got my shit together’ look, so I’m inspired by them. But 90% of the time, I go for jeans from Dr Denim and a Zara tee. My smart coat from Reiss does wonders to…

HUNG’S TOP TIPS “If you moisturise really well before make-up, the skin will have a natural glow. To enhance this, mix a luminiser with your foundation for a dewy, youthful look.” “Sculpt and contour subtly; you should look beautiful, not scary. For an understated contour that holds, use a cream and set it with a powder. Blend it well and be light-handed with both.” “For a dramatic smoky eye, draw on the waterline and smudge it out quickly using a brush. Blend upwards so the eye has a kick in the corner.” HUNG’S TOP TIPS “For a modern smoky eye, I love warm colours – brown, bronze and golds. They make it very natural and it looks amazing on everyone.” “Even when I’m doing a black eye, I still use…

“ Treat a SUIT LIKE A DRESS : you don’t have to think about much. It’s a piece that can be DRESSED UP OR DOWN depending on your event” NATALIE HARTLEY, FASHION DIRECTOR “I love menswear, especially on women, and a good tailored suit is the perfect outfit for me. What’s great about this one is that it shows off all the classic details; it’s double-breasted, which adds a touch of masculinity, and the grey check means you can wear this with most things. I would wear it with a pair of trainers and a simple white T-shirt for day, choosing a size up for a slightly oversized look.” “LEOPARD is an iconic POWER HOUSE PRINT and says you aren’t afraid to let your PERSONAl STYlE shine through” EMMA HARGADON, SENIOR FASHION ASSISTANT “I love a look that is…

I’VE ALWAYS RATHER FANCIED WEARING PVC TROUSERS. However, a couple of hot and bothersome changing room experiences – where I’ve gracelessly struggled to get them past my knees – were enough to see me running for the nearest loose-fit jeans. PVC is punky, sexy and rebellious – and, for me, its allure lies in its potential to transform. At the risk of sounding deeply uncool, I wonder if it could lend me an edge. A little on the history first. In the ’60s, PVC came into favour with designers such as Pierre Cardin and André Courrèges, who recognised its futuristic qualities and fashioned it into coats, minis and knee-high boots. Then, in the ’70s, it was embraced as part of the punk uniform and has since become synonymous with fetish…

NO, THANKS Before I became a fully fledged member of the 50% Career Club – with just an inkling that leadership was not my spirit role – I had a meeting with my line manager. The talking point, besides which Pret barista was most likely to give us free coffee, was my trajectory. Was I gunning for her job, our boss’s, the CEO’s empire? My manager was (and I’m not just saying it because she might read this) a warm, efficient and visionary leader. Had I been plotting domination, I imagine us as Wonder Woman and Katniss, armed with complimentary coffees in Instagrammable corner offices. But we weren’t looking in the same direction. The writing jobs she suggested I delegate were what made me excited to set my 6am alarm.…

By Ali Pantony. Still life: 3Objectives. Research by Fellowes, helping people in the UK work well Get on the Meet-Free Mondays hype Our schedules can be more packed than Primark on a Saturday, but cramming can create more work, says Grace Marshall, productivity expert at Think Productive. “Back-to-back meetings may seem efficient, but when are you going to do the work that comes from them?” she asks. “If you can, set a day when no one can book into your diary.” Et voilà: a whole day distraction-free.

KEEP IT CLASSIC From checks to trenches, the classics get a high-fashion twist for A/W17. Opt for interesting textures and pops of colour. GOOD SPORT Sports-luxe is here to stay, and with puffas and anoraks making an appearance on the runway, this is this season’s most wearable trend. SHEAR DELIGHT Shearling has had somewhat of a revival. Any shape goes, but stick to natural tones and pair with denim or a floral maxi for a distinctly Õ70s look.

EVERYTHING WE’RE BINGE- WATCHING. DOWNLOADING + LOVING THIS MONTH “I’m still starstruck,” admits Taron Egerton, eyes widening on his cute, boy-next-door face. It’s a face that’s instantly recognisable from 2014’s Kingsman: The Secret Service – the sequel to which, The Golden Circle, hits cinemas this month. But his soft Welsh burr is a world away from inner-city east-ender Gary ‘Eggsy’ Unwin, who’s recruited by a supersecret, super-exclusive and super-upper-crust spy agency in the first film. That movie was a contemporary all-action homage to the silliest aspects of the ’70s/’80s James Bond incarnation – and, coincidentally, our interview takes place in London’s Soho Hotel the day after Sir Roger Moore has passed away, aged 89. “He’s my absolute go-to Bond,” says Taron. “Live And Let Die – the irreverence and humour…

“ Nam fugit facipsum acipsuntur minulla cienis et parum sundis magna" Jourdan Dunn is one of my best and oldest friends. We always have fun together” 6.30am My alarm goes off and I wake up in my New York apartment.

“ From quite a young age, I stood up for myself and carved my own path ” “ Leo and I do quote the odd titanic line to each other - we find it really funny” Getting hold of Kate Winslet is no mean feat. Between a comical series of dropped FaceTime calls (just after we both wax lyrical about how great FaceTime is for both signal strength and costing nothing), a long text conversation attempting to rearrange in between her filming schedule, and our respective children’s bedtimes, we finally catch up when she’s supposed to be in New York but is actually still at home in Sussex. Confused yet? “We’ve had a slight change of plan,” she explains in her no-nonsense Winslet way. “I have to go to St…

Three o’clock in the morning, you’re wide-awake, mind buzzing with plans for tomorrow and fingers itching to scroll through... something. Sound familiar? You may be one of a growing number of people in the grip of a stresshormone high. We’ve heard it a million times: we’re the most stressed generation. But as Professor Angela Clow from the Psychophysiology And Stress Research Centre at Westminster University says, the trouble isn’t with stress itself – it’s the amount of time we spend feeling that way. “Our bodies couldn’t function without the stress hormone cortisol, but the millennial ‘always on’ lifestyle causes bodies to enter stress mode too often, and that’s when the damage happens.” Swathes of evidence suggest that chronic stress can cause long-term damage to the brain. The good news? Experts…

Amy Powney, the creative director of London fashion label Mother of Pearl, spends her days creating clothes that can take women from the weekend through the working week. Her own working wardrobe? Until this year, the 32 year old described it as “jeans and a jumper”, confessing that she often steals from her boyfriend’s wardrobe. “I’m really lazy with what I wear. I really liked that thing at school when you didn’t have a choice about what you wore.” Amy has subsequently instigated a uniform at her workspace. From this autumn, she’ll wear a self-designed boilersuit every single day. Though she didn’t intend to make it an office-wide policy, the wider team have embraced the aesthetic, too. “Our style has rubbed off on each other so we’re in sync,” she…

“THE ANSWER is ‘coding’, isn’t it?” I’m telling a friend about this feature, and she’s exhausted already. “I’m so tired of hearing that, to have a job in 2027, I must learn how to code. What if I don’t have time for that?” I don’t blame her: it can feel like the only future-proof career advice is ‘become a tech whiz and launch an app’. It’s true that 47% of jobs could be mechanised – financial software could put accountants out of a job; artificial intelligence (AI) may replace customer service; Google is even funding a news agency where computers write the stories. But while certain industries will change, it’s more about how we change with them. So, if you’re looking for a job switch, consider one of these… AI personality writer The days of automated…

BLUE IS THE WARMEST COLOUR Tonal dressing is big for A/W17. This trouser suit is the modern alternative to a classic evening LBD. Add interest with minimal white accessories.

GIRL MEETS BOY Think traditional men’s tailoring for the modern woman – this is how to do power dressing in 2017. SKIRTING THE ISSUE Skirt suits have long had a ‘schoolmarm’ image, but not this year.

We are officially Generation Stress: we worry about our relationships, jobs, wellbeing and even our follower count. We’ve never been more self-involved, yet we’re also neglecting ourselves, constantly fatigued, anxious or ill. Redress the balance with these ‘me time’ tips, then turn to p193 for more stress busters. FEEL THE POWER OF A FACIAL The ritual of a beauty routine, such as a relaxing Sunday-night DIY facial, calms the mind. “In today’s busy world, most of us have too many stimuli,” says Anita. “Routines help us create normality and space, which is grounding. When we show kindness to ourselves, we become able to give to others. That is the path to feeling – and looking – truly beautiful.” ME, ME, ME Booking in ‘me time’ is the obvious place to…

He’s already headlined his own European tour and penned summer anthem Perfect Strangers for Jonas Blue. Now, with his debut album, Raised Under Grey Skies, out this month, we sat down with the 33-year-old soulful singer to find out more… Gospel music helped him nail his sound “I joined a gospel choir for a few years. That was when I really started to express myself in a much more soulful way.” He’s pals with Stormzy “I saw him at my gigs and I went to his show in New York, then we hung out a few times. We’ve collaborated on my album and it’s a beautiful track. It’s a softer side of Stormzy.” Manchester inspired him “Growing up there in the ’90s helped me discover my love of music. It…

THE ‘CAN’T WAIT’ DRAMAS Six of our favourite shows are back this month – hooray! Back in 2015 Doctor Foster (BBC One) had us hooked, thanks especially to Suranne Jones’s gutpunching portrayal of a woman unravelling her husband’s affair; in Season Two we pick up after a significant time jump, and learn more about Kate, the ‘other woman’. On Fox, the scary AF American Horror Story: Cult starts September 8. The first episode of the new season is set on election night, and includes a special guest performance from Lena Dunham. Amazon has Season Four of dark comedy Transparent, which feels more relevant than ever, with trans rights making headlines. Plus, time-travelling megahit Outlander returns for a third season on September 10. Skipping ahead to the 1960s, Claire (Caitriona Balfe,…

YOU NEED TO STILL YOUR MIND The prescription Sha Wellness Clinic, Alicante, Spain The patient Dominique Temple, Beauty Editor Unlike some spiritual spa retreats where technology is banned, the Sha Wellness approach is less proscriptive. The focus is on slowing down and de-stressing; the method is accessible: one-on-one mindfulness sessions focus on doable, sustainable techniques for long-term wellbeing, while massages release different blockage points – notably the Aqua Relax massage (performed in a darkened private pool). Be warned: you might struggle if you don’t like macrobiotic food, which emphasises unprocessed ingredients (lots of wholegrains, beans, vegetables, some fruit and a bit of fish), but you won’t go hungry. It’s a great spa to try solo – the general vibe is very friendly and you’ll easily strike up conversations over the…
