HANDBAG HEROINES For this is the week that new research* claims us Brits spend a gimassive four days a year rummaging in our handbags, hunting out 'lost’ keys, iPhones or (in my case) tiddly new five pound notes. FOUR. DAYS! Just think what we could do with that time! A girls’ weekend in Rome! A mega Netflix marathon! Just one really long lie-in! As a self-confessed 'satellite bag’ addict, I fear the latest stats may just be the tip the handberg. Half of Look HQ admit to lugging an overspill 'satellite’ bag for their essentials (make-up, Maltesers) meaning we probably lose whole weeks to bag rummaging. Well, no more! For this is the week that handbag heroine Zara comes to our retail rescue (again), solving problems we didn’t know we…

This has to be the most unexpected trend AW16 has thrown at us. Taking inspiration from dads across the land, designers Louis Vuitton, Public School and Balenciaga have embraced this new wave of practical dressing, which includes all the outfit staples you’d need for a ramble. Behold four (somewhat niche) buys you need to give your dad (or Mr Attenborough) a run for his money… Classic Corduroy When jeans just won’t do, make like Kendall and turn to cords for sartorial support. Equally warm and durable but, let’s face it, marginally more fancy, these are the trews of choice for the (wo)man about town. Fisherman Beanies What’s the difference between a regular beanie and a fisherman’s beanie, you ask? Probably about 15°C. Yep, this hat is a whole new toasty…

“We might have one or two more, you never know!” is it us, or does Victoria Beckham seem happier than ever right now? Playfully posting photos on social media, appearing on stage with husband David, 41, to present an award and even sharing pictures of her brood as they help out the Beckham brand – it’s clear that Victoria’s all about family right now. And our sources have revealed that it was while attending her pal Eva Longoria’s Global Gift Gala in London recently that the two friends spoke about motherhood – with VB, 42, apparently admitting she’s feeling broody again. 'Victoria’s having thoughts about adding to the family,’ says our insider. 'She’s become really broody recently and her close friendship with Eva has only added to her yearning…

Thought yoga was just a load of downward dogs? Er, not quite. Cat Meffan shows her 50 . 8 k followers that our bodies are WAY more flexible than we think… • BODY & MIND ‘Yoga has the power to energise me for the day ahead but also totally relax me when I need it. It’s amazing for stress and anxiety, and can aid injury recovery. It can of course also help to build a beautiful body with strong, lean muscles.’ • GIVE IT A GO ‘A nice forward fold helps to ease and lengthen hamstrings. This can be done sitting down with legs straight in front, or standing up, taking hold of opposite elbows to help lower your torso down.’ • HOW DO YOU BEND LIKE THAT? ‘I was…

Banish minimalism in favour of richly woven fabrics threaded with sparkling hues of ruby, emerald, sapphire, gold and silver. No longer reserved for royal types, brocade is now a firm fixture on the party circuit, offering respite from the annual sequin obsession that grips the high street. Paired with chiffon, beaded accessories and glittering shoes, it’s the most romantic trend of them all. If it’s good enough for the Queen……

Yes, it’s that time of year again: the parties are in full swing, trees are going up left, right and centre and online searches for Christmas jumpers have shot up by 1,100 per cent. Fear not, because for 2016 we’ve brought you an epic edit (if we say so ourselves) of the best non-Christmassy Christmas knits. That’s not to say you’ll be a Scrooge – hell, no!

Oh no, you’ll be winning the trophy for coolest customer. Wear…

Just when we thought family Beckham couldn’t be any more talented /successful, it’s now the turn of eldest son Brooklyn to take a slice of the creative limelight. Following his foray into fashion editorial over the summer, snapping a campaign for Burberry (dad David gushed: ‘photography is his passion’), BB now has his own photography book coming out in May 2017 . What I See will feature many unseen pics, plus a penned intro from Brooklyn himself. What’s it like to see the world through the eyes/lens of a Beckham? We’ll soon find out……

1 Bank As Much Sleep As Possible Beforehand Drinking, staying up late, eating our body weight in Quality Street… Over the Christmas period, we push our body to the limit. Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania found those limited to only 4.5 hours of sleep each night over a one-week period reported feeling significantly more stressed. Start heading to bed an hour early from now… 2 Make A Calming Playlist Music has been hailed as one of the best ways to relax and reduce stress.

Lovebirds Mille Mackintosh and Hugo Taylor packed on the PDAs at the after-party. The only time they weren’t together was when Hugo got chatting to Adriana Lima. We spied Bella and The Weeknd hanging out together at the after-party, looking totally chilled. Could a reconciliation be on the cards? We certainly hope so! The hair extension table was over eight metres long. Also, the hair was created using Beach Waver tongs, covered in crystals. Anything that could be covered in rhinestones was. Irina Shayk was pretty covered up on the runway, fuelling speculation she’s expecting her first child with BF Bradley Cooper – that baby would have very good genes. Jasmine Toukes wouldn’t leave the $ 2.4 m Bright Night Fantasy Bra alone, posing for photos with it all night.…

LOVE LAYERS Beat the chill this year with some clever layering. In order to keep your look fashionable and not frumpy, pair cosy cardigans with a cute skirt. Add thick tights and these gorgeous strappy shoes, then wrap a scarf round your neck to finish. We love neutral knits that go with everything – they make a great investment buy and last you season after season. STAPLE DENIM If you didn’t buy into the sweetest trend of the summer, there’s still time – and wear – to be had. Embroidered denim is a real showstopper and this pair is super-versatile and easy to wear. Pair with a chunky knit, boots and gloves to keep extra cosy. COOL COATS With everything from faux fur (ideal for layering over partywear) to the…

Consider winter: what do you think of? Maybe it’s mulled wine by the fire, the first crunch of snow and – what else? – Christmas. The pessimists among you might focus on the dodgy weather and the grey cloud that is January. But do you know what unites both perspectives? A faux fur coat. Which, incidentally, is our first thought about winter Although the fabric was invented in 1929, it wasn’t until the 60s that it really caught on, with the likes of Twiggy leading the charge. Since then, every diva worth her salt has a furry best friend – and they know faux is the only way to go. VB rocked hers in the 90s, while Sienna had the early noughties covered. Now, cult designers like Shrimps and Charlotte…

‘After a friend miscarried several times, she encouraged me to get my eggs checked. At the time I was 33 and healthy, so when the results revealed my eggs were aged 40, I was shell-shocked. I realised egg freezing was the answer, but when I sat down and looked at the cost I knew it would take me at least a year to save that, but I couldn’t wait. Then my mum and sister offered to pay as a Christmas present, I was overwhelmed – it meant I could start the process straight away. I ended up having 10 eggs to freeze – more than my doctor thought I’d be able to – and I’m so relieved. I’ve basically been gifted with the chance of having a baby and that’s…

STATEMENT CUFFS Warning: this accessory is not for the fashion faint of heart. Detachable faux fur and feather cuffs are a hugehit on ASOS right now, mainly because they’re fab-u-lous. Slip them on for an instant Hollywood screen siren vibe. COULD THESE BE THE MOST COMFORTABLE HEELS IN THE WORLD? Maxine Eggenberger, Fashion News Editor ‘As Look’s resident shoe obsessive I’ve worn many a heel in my time – some pinchy, others just painful. Now Marks & Spencer has achieved what I thought impossible – the comfiest shoes I’ve ever worn. So comfy are they that I wore them on the commute, all day at work, then to the pub afterwards – without the slightest rubbing. Moreover, there’s an entire collection of them. Made with Insolia technology, they cushion the…

Apply it every night before you go to bed and in a couple of months you’ll start to notice that your lashes can hold their own – even without any mascara! @Kirsten_Breeze Revitalash Advanced 3.5ml, £99 I bought this after wearing lash extensions for years. It does take a few months to see results but now I couldn’t rave about it more if I tried. Prepare to be asked if they’re real on a daily basis... @gdidwhat Nouveau Lashes Lash & Brow Conditioning Serum, £19.99 I love that this can be used on your brows and lashes. Unlike others it’s a brush that you can comb through to coat every last…

Worth The Hype: Rogue One It’s the film everyone’s talking about, and while details of the latest Star Wars saga are being kept pretty hush hush, the countdown’s officially on. If you’re not a full-on fan, here are some facts to quote so you don’t feel left out of the chat… • Felicity Jones plays Jyn Erso, a defiant fighter with a troubled past, recruited on a mission for the Rebel Alliance. • The first ‘Star Wars Story’ movie, it will take place somewhere between Episode III: Revenge Of The Sith and Episode IV: A New Hope. • While you might not have experienced wanderlust for any of the previous film locations, Rogue One takes place in Scarif, the newest planet, covered in beaches, palm trees and surrounded by ocean.…
