I have this pair of shoes – a rose gold, almond-toed set of block heels from Zara that are dead ringers for £450 Miu Mius – that I managed to snag a few years back for just £15.99. These shoes just so happen to be the most-complimented item in my wardrobe. Friends beg to borrow them, my mum considered wearing them herself for my wedding day back in 2014 and, after all this time, they’re still my go-to when I’m running late for work/a night out/a wedding (yes, I digress, I am late. A lot). So, when people inevitably ask where they’re from, as they always do, my response is: 'Zara. Can you believe it? And they were only £15.’ (And yes, along with running late, apparently I also like…

We don’t know how Victoria Beckham does it. One minute she’s showcasing a new launch in Shanghai, the next she’s touching down in Africa for a safari holiday with her family. But despite VB having undisputed incredible multitasking skills, one person who’s said to wish she would slow down is husband David – who’s reportedly begging Vic to take even more time out. According to a source speaking exclusively to Look , David,42, is desperate to have some quality time with 43-year-old Victoria, especially as their eighteenth wedding anniversary is fast approaching on 4 July. 'David’s asked Vic to schedule in some downtime,’ reveals a close friend. 'For Vic, family does come first, but she believes she can do it all. David knows she’s good at managing everything, but doesn’t…

‘You’ll be the prince and I’ll be the princess, it’s a love story, baby just say yes’ – we wonder if Taylor Swift cringes at her older tracks. We hope not; Love Story is a proper tune. But something tells us there’ll be fewer songs about her love life, as we’re told Taylor’s slowed things right down with her new man. 'She’s been through public heartbreak and she’s done with it,’ says our insider. 'She wants to meet the right person and knows the only way is to do it privately.’ Taylor is currently dating British actor Joe Alwyn, 26, and has been for months, keeping the whole thing quiet. In fact, the two were only seen together for the first time last week as they boarded her private jet,…

While the high street is often hot on the heels of the catwalk when it comes to creating homages, some pieces take longer to materialise than others – and that can certainly be said of this latest designer dupe. We first spied Alexander Wang’s £485 (!) Amelia sandals last summer on Insta-faves Chiara Ferragni and Holly Titheridge. Since then, our dreams have been haunted by the studded slip-ons as we patiently waited for the day we could, at long last, call them our own. That day has finally come, in the form of excellent affordable copies. Like anything you have to wait for, there are now tonnes of them on the high street to choose from. #Life…

A race day in Blighty throws up the all- too-familiar conundrum of what to wear to a summer wedding when there’s no predicting what the weather will do. Thankfully, our #LWIW tag has been flooded with perfect race day combos this week. From printed midi dresses to jumpsuits styled with bright accessories and wide-leg trousers worn with delicate camis and statement jackets, all the inspo you need to look stylish at the races is right here (and on our Insta page, natch). Opt for wedges or chunky heels over stilettos to avoid sinking into the grass, and make sure your bag is large enough to carry an umbrella (and all your winnings – fingers crossed!). Some race events have strict dress codes (here’s looking at you, Ascot), so we recommend…

The Body Shop was the first global beauty brand to fight back against animal testing. It is committed to working fairly with farmers who source everything ethically. Continually bettering itself, the company also plans to double its community trade ingredients by 2020 .

St.Tropez Instant Tan Finishing Gloss, £12 My secret weapon for flawless legs – plus they used this backstage at London Fashion Week SS 17 to give models super-glossy, high-shine pins. @britishbeautyeditor St.Tropez Self Tan Express Mousse, £33 As a reformed tanaholic, I’ve tried my fair share of self tans, but this one has always come out tops. It gives my limbs the best colour and never leaves them streaky or smelling like tan. Couldn’t live without it. @chloeburcham St.Tropez Gradual Tan In Shower Medium, £14.50 From the moment this launched, I knew I’d be hooked. It’s perfect for girls on the go like me and it leaves a natural-looking, subtle tan. @bridiewilkins St.Tropez Gradual Tan Plus Luminous Veil, £18 I’m olive-skinned, so gradual tans are my thing.

WHO KNEW PURPLE PACKED SO MUCH WHITENING POWER? If we were to tell you that the secret to a whiter smile was the colour purple, you’d think we were crazy, right? We don’t blame you. But try Pearl Drops’ new Instant Natural White Toothpolish (which is a striking purple paste) and we guarantee you’ll notice the whitening effects from the first time you brush with it. Using a winning combination of red optical enhancers and black activated charcoal, the formula is also designed to lift impurities and tackle plaque, meaning you don’t have to scrimp on the health of your teeth to get great whitening results.

The new Tommy Hilfiger range has just arrived at JD Sports and it’s giving us serious Gigi Hadid vibes. Simple and iconic, the collection includes squat-proof leggings, sheer bralets (we’ll definitely be rocking these with ripped denim this festival season) and underwear you’ll want to show off in the changing room – all in the TH palette of navy and white. With prices starting at £16, it’s no wonder Miss Hadid is a fan – we’ll take the lot.…

NEWSFLASH! Born to Kill’s Jack Rowan has joined the cast of Peaky Blinders! Blazin’ It Up As Look went to press he was still in the villa and still talking about his former band. We were concerned you may have forgotten the genius of Blazin’ Squad, so here’s your guide. • The squad was made up of 10 men with rap names like Melo-D, Stryder and Flava. Marcel’s was Plat’num, FYI. • They mainly rapped about being from the streets of… Chingford, Essex. • Crossroads was their first No 1 in 2002, followed by banger Flip Reverse. Tune. • There are no plans for them to reform. 1. Tan Lines We’ve got a feeling those swimming costumes weren’t designed for basking poolside in the Spanish heat.…

It’s been a while since Cheryl and Liam have been out together, so their appearance last week at The Ivy, London’s swanky A-list restaurant, was exciting. But while the pair have been putting up a united front as Liam promotes his new music, sources speaking exclusively to Look have revealed Cheryl has actually been leaning on her mates and mum heavily recently, as the two try to work through Liam being away so much. 'Cheryl isn’t happy,’ reveals a close pal. 'She wants to return to work and record a new album by the end of the year, but she’s worried. She knows how much effort Liam is putting into his career right now and he’ll be touring soon. Cheryl was born to be a star and she’s determined not…

Our French might not be as up-to-speed as we’d like (those six or so years spent studying it at school have clearly paid off), but one thing that doesn’t need translating is our love for Topshop’s slogan tee. Emblazoned with the words 'thank you my darling’ and featuring two intertwining hearts, it’s been snapped up en masse by these Insta stars – and we can’t blame them. Wear it tucked into high-waisted jeans with classic white trainers for the ultimate in off-duty cool or dress it up with a gingham skirt and red sandals for date night. For extra #ootd kudos, why not buy two and twin with your BFF? At £15 a pop, it’ll hardly break the bank. Merci for filling the Gucci gap in our T-shirt collection, Toppers!…

I HAVE: DRY HAIR Eat: Scatter parsley over your lunch and dinner. Packed with potassium and vitamin A, it encourages oil secretion, your hair’s natural conditioner. The same goes for oily fish such as salmon. They contain omega- 3 , which is essential for a healthy scalp. Veggies could swap the fish for flaxseeds. I HAVE: FINE LINES AND WRINKLES Eat: Reach for matcha. It has the highest antioxidant value of any known food (and 10 times the antioxidants of other types of green tea), making it a brilliant anti-ager and defender against UV rays. Pad out your diet with pomegranate. It’s packed with vitamins E and C, and when broken down in the gut it produces a substance called urolithin A, a powerhouse that helps rebuild cells. I HAVE:…

Queen of confidence Ashley Graham is our go-to for feelgood mantras. Now, in a bid to demolish stereotypes and transform the perception of body image, she’s written an entire book of essays about how she cracked the industry and continues to break the mould. She’s full of confidence-boosting advice… 1 No Rules Apply ‘If you’re talking about white jeans or nude leggings, horizontal stripes, body-cons – anything. I’ve worn it all. Wear what you want.’ 2 Lose The Clothes ‘Walking around your house butt-naked builds your confidence. You have to see the things that you were told were imperfect your whole life. You actually see it and deal with it. Don’t hide it away.’ 3 Ditch The Numbers ‘Who cares about the number that’s inside your jeans?’ says Ashley. ‘If…

‘I really enjoyed not having to exercise’ CANDICE SWANEPOEL INTERVIEW Sitting opposite Candice Swanepoel in a chic Parisian hotel, it’s easy to see why she’s one of the most sought-after models in the industry. The 28-year-old South African gained supermodel status after getting her Victoria’s Secret wings seven years ago and has dominated ever since. She’s been on a break since giving birth to her son Anacã, but is now back as the face of Givenchy’s Dahlia Divin Nude fragrance (available nationwide from July) – and VS just announced she’ll return to walk its iconic show. There’s plenty more to come from Candice... Hi Candice! You’ve been a mum for six months – how’s it going? It’s such a mixture of feelings. It’s amazing, though – I’m loving motherhood. I…

TINDER SELECT A secret, invite-only version of the app. Members are rumoured to be chosen based on their appearance and ‘ELO score’ (basically a desirability rating). Who’d be on it? Think a high-profile model or a real-life version of Serena van der Woodsen. VIBEE Launched by Bumble (the app where only women can start conversations), VIBee is a status rewarded to the app’s ‘best behaved’ users. The verification process is based on app interactions (for example how active and engaging the user is). THE LEAGUE If Made In Chelsea’s Mark-Francis was going to use a dating app, it would be this one. Potential users apply and are assessed on their picture, education and professional history (via Facebook and LinkedIn). Their motto? ‘Be picky and have high standards’.…

1 BEAUTY KITCHEN SEAHORSE PLANKTON HIGH DEFINITION FACIAL OIL, £19.99 Beauty Kitchen has two skincare ranges, each centred around one ingredient. This Seahorse Plankton (this microalgae is their food source, FYI) face oil was a sellout and, given it’s the spendiest thing the brand has to offer, you can be sure you won’t harm the environment or your bank account. PS This product supports The Seahorse Trust, too. 2 PAI CAMELLIA & ROSE GENTLE HYDRATING CLEANSER, £28 An onset of overly sensitive and acne-prone skin sent Sarah, the woman behind Pai, on a mission to find effective solutions that don’t contain irritants. Her no-nonsense approach to organic skincare means what you’re putting on your face is always of the highest standard. Plus, she uses biodegradable packaging wherever possible. 3 INDIE…

1 IT’S EASY TO STYLE Hair that doesn’t have a mind of its own is a stylist’s dream, and those blessed with fine hair can often rock a multitude of styles. From long bohemian locks to short choppy bobs, fine-haired girls definitely have all the fun... 2 IT TAKES COLOUR WELL Whether you go for one shade all over or subtle volumising lowlights, fine-haired girls can experiment with colour to give their style depth and interest. We love a summery blonde dip-dye for ultimate beach babe vibes... 3 YOU CAN BIG IT UP Fine hair often needs a bit of gentle teasing to help maximise volume. Rough-dry your hair a little before styling, using fingers to work texture into the roots. Then twist sections for a subtle wave... THE FINE…

'Sundays are my favourite day of the week because I have time to try new recipes out. My current obsession is strawberries and cream on a toasted bagel. It’s a dreamy Wimbledon-inspired combo. Sweet and savoury – it’s British summer on a bagel and a real show-stopping breakfast or lunchtime treat. Plus, a bagel is much more satisfying than a piece of toast, don’t you think? Chewy, doughy deliciousness that’s low in fat and ready in minutes. Take it up a notch by making your own jam and serving with whipped cream!’ LOOK influencer, @Poppy_Loves_London WIMBLEDON BAGEL with strawberries, jam and cream INGREDIENTS: 9 TIME: 15 MINS LEVEL: EASY • New York Bakery Co. plain bagels, toasted • 20 strawberries, halved • 4 tbsp strawberry jam • 75g whipped cream…

There’s never a dull day in the Kardashian-Jenner household, is there? If it’s not another family feud then it’s their love lives. But while Kim and Kanye dodge their own separation rumours and Kylie flaunts her new romance with Travis Scott, Kendall Jenner’s been quietly getting serious with new man A$AP Rocky – and last week the rapper declared his love for the star with a huge diamond ring. ‘Rocky is head-over-heels,’ says our source. ‘He gave it to her to remind her that he’s always thinking about her.’ Kendall, who has had flings with Harry Styles (they were last spotted together in LA in September 2016 ) and NBA player Jordan Clarkson, is said to be ‘completely committed to Rocky and has told friends she’s so happy.’ But our…

“I kind of know what I want more” Caroline Flack is basically giving us #holidaygoals from our sofa right now. She looks unbelievably flawless as she hosts this year’s Love Island (and new spin-off show Aftersun), and we admit we’re a tiny bit obsessed. Sitting across from us in the show’s villa, her excitement at the return of the dating series is palpable. One of the things that makes Caroline, 37, the perfect presenter is her ability to get caught up in the romances – just like we do. Much like the islanders, Flackers has had her fair share of ups and downs when it comes to dating, having previously been targeted over her reported romances with Harry Styles and Prince Harry ('I’m not talking about him,’ she tells us…

‘We were chatting with friends about how frustrating dating apps are these days. It got to the point where we were deleting them off our phones in the day then re-downloading them later when we were bored. We wanted to create something that takes the annoying part out of Tinder – the part where you’re chatting to someone but it never leads to an actual date. We’d been thinking about Pitchit for a while, but only really started working on it when, coincidentally and hilariously, Chrissy broke her leg catching the bouquet at a wedding. She ended up being unable to walk for 14 weeks. We spent that time planning and mapping out our app. ‘The idea is to come up with a date. It can be anything – your…
