You did it. You made it through the most depressing month of the year, only to be rewarded with a lovely cheque. OK, so it’s payday and you worked really hard for it, but still, it feels somehow sweeter when it arrives at the end of January. And what brilliant timing, as the high street has an abundance of new, shiny stuff for you to love. While you can check out our full round-up of the new collections in next week’s issue, we’ve picked out a Holy Trinity of brand new ranges, just so your wishlists can start taking serious shape. H&M’s Hero Dress The Swedish megabrand is showing its first ever see-now-buy-now Studio collection at Paris Fashion Week in March, but we already know what we want… A ruffled…

'These fierce booties share my nickname and I ain’t complaining; when they look this fash, I’m happy to be associated with them (even if it is a bit of a stretch).’ MAXINE EGGENBERGER, FASHION NEWS & COMMERCIAL CONTENT EDITOR 'Just when I thought my Breton obsession couldn’t get any worse, this namesake number was brought to my attention. So smitten am I, I’ll be investing in the classic navy and white versions too.’ CHLOE JACKSON, FASHION EDITOR Much like soul mates, we like to think the things we buy were meant for us and only us, which is probably why monogramming has become such a big deal – and it’s all thanks to Burberry. After cascading down the label’s AW14 catwalk, everyone from Olivia Palermo to Rosie Huntington-Whiteley fell hard…

I don’t give Avril Lavigne enough credit. I took that woman’s picture to the hairdresser every six weeks for three years. Every single time, my hair had to be straighter, longer, slightly thinner. So while I spent my days coveting Avril’s layering of vest tops, baggy trousers and superfluous ties, not even I was prepared for what’s happening in 2017 – it’s the sk8ter girl renaissance. From hoodies to rock’n’roll tees to Vans, even the dressiest of dressers (here’s looking at you, Diane Kruger) are embracing this phenomenon. We shouldn’t be surprised; we’ve already seen the return of the tracksuit, while Vetements has managed to make wardrobe essentials eye-wateringly expensive yet desirable (£700 for a hoodie, anyone?). As well as mere nods to Avril’s style, there’s one high street store…

“It’s her turn now after his football career” We’re all prone to holiday blues – especially following a weekend away in Paris. But when we saw glum photographs of Victoria and David Beckham at London’s St Pancras International station last week following their visit to the French capital, we were worried. Trudging behind Victoria, hands in pockets, sporting earphones and a gloomy expression, 41-year-old David seemed to be ignoring his wife. It’s pretty uncharacteristic of the couple, who celebrated the 19th anniversary of their engagement last week. There’s no denying it’s been a tough few months for them. Not only has Victoria, 42, been hit by a wave of inaccurate rumours that her brand had to be 'bailed out’ by David’s companies, but the fashion designer has also been forced…

‘I always begin preparations a few weeks before the awards. This involves emailing New York and LA showrooms, giving them details about the event and the celebrity I’m styling, and letting them know when the fitting will take place. I spend around two full days pulling dresses, shoes, jewellery and handbags from at least 15 to 20 showrooms. With regular clients, they trust my judgement and by the time the fittings come around I have two racks of clothes for them to try. If it’s a new client, we often meet before or have a phone conversation to discuss their personal style. ‘Fittings take place in my home office and can last up to three hours. Almost always the dress needs to be altered – most samples come in sizes…

COLOUR BLOCKING Why wear one punchy colour when you can do two ? Go all-out 80s and clash orange with pink, or keep it romantic with different shades of red. Whichever way you wear it, say hello to your new statement lip. LIPPIES THAT LOVE YOU BACK The winter months can wreak havoc on our pouts. Enter the new era of lipsticks and glosses with added benefits. Infusions of oils such as peach and coconut, plus added vitamins E and C, manage to brighten up your pout while giving some much-needed TLC. 90S ROSE Buh-bye brown – the new 90 s lip colour on the block comes in more of a muted rose tone. Easier to wear but still wickedly retro, try this colour with matching eyes and cheeks to…

THE SUPERFOODIE Mix 35 g quinoa flakes, 1 tbsp chia seeds, 1 tsp maca powder and ½ tsp vanilla together in a bowl. Bring 100 ml water and 100 ml of almond milk to the boil in a pan. Reduce the heat and add the quinoa mixture. Add a pinch of salt and stir occasionally for 3 minutes. Add a mashed banana, then another 100 ml almond milk. Stir and cook for a further 2 - 3 minutes. Top with fresh berries, coconut shavings and bee pollen. While we wait for the weather to warm up (seriously, though?!) we’ve been introduced to these hot pots of joy in the past few weeks: porridge bowls. That’s right, getting creative with the humble breakfast by swapping oats for grains, like quinoa, with…

GET ORGANISED Usually, we know about birthdays and weddings way in advance, so mark them in the diary now and plan a budget for each. No surprises = less wasted cash. DO THE MATHS Which would you choose: coffee every day for a month or that leather bag from Zara? Grab your calculator and work out what you can cut to get your fash fix. Have a tissue on hand to weep at how much you’ve already spent on rubbish coffee. REVIEW YOUR BILLS ‘Never pay full price for something without checking you can get it cheaper,’ says MoneySavingExpert’s Sally Francis, who recommends shopping around to see if you could save on bills. ‘If you want to be really savvy, stash the money you’ve saved – it could really add…

#1 TREAT OF THE WEEK: Primers are magical. They create the perfect canvas and if we follow that analogy through, NARS’ new face formulas are the equivalent of Da Vinci’s paints. They’re that brilliant. There’s one for everyone. Dull complexion your main problem? Try the radiance boosting complex. Prominent pores? Give the pore and shine control a go. Uneven skin tone? The smooth and protect SPF will sort you right out. Not even Leonardo could paint a smoother visage...

‘Coast is a brand that offers something unique that I really relate to,’ says Olivia Palermo. 'My style is a mixture of elements; I enjoy combining opulent and glamorous clothes with simpler pieces.’ Oh, we’ve noticed, OP. Hers is definitely a skeleton-free closet, by which we mean we doubt she has any impulse buys (ra-ra skirt from 10 years ago, anyone?) or ill-fitting, moth-eaten items she just can’t bear to part with. No, Olivia is just one of those women who remains – to paraphrase Beyoncé – flawless, whether sporting couture for the red carpet or running errands in high street. That’s why Coast snapped her up last season as the face of its AW16 collection and also why she’s back for a second time, having picked out her favourite…

Chances are you’ve heard of retinol, the 'wonder ingredient’ hailed for its anti-ageing and brightening powers. Yet many of us steer clear for fear it causes redness and irritation. But what’s the truth? Is your moisturiser ruining your skin? Here’s all you need to know about the complexion-clearing powerhouse. RETINOL REVEALED Retinol is a form of vitamin A that has the unique ability to tackle several different skin concerns all at once: it refines pores, reduces dark spots, smooths wrinkles and improves skin texture. There are also different strengths of retinol, to be used depending on your sensitivity: retinoic acid is the strongest and should be used with caution; retinol is better for use on normal skin types; and finally, pro-retinols are the most gentle. RETINOL REINVENTED Because retinol is…

“It’s my body and it should be my choice” It’s been over two years since those ‘violating’ photos of Jennifer Lawrence were leaked online. But this week, in what feels like a win for women everywhere, Jen’s finally seen justice served after the man behind the crime was sentenced to nine months in prison. Edward Majerczyk, 29 – who stole private information including nude photos and videos from more than 30 celebrities – was also ordered to pay $5,700 (£4,500) in restitution fees to an undisclosed victim who sought counselling after her photos were leaked. While Jen, 26, wasn’t the only celeb affected by the nude photo scandal (other stars include Ariana Grande, Kate Upton and Mary Elizabeth Winstead) she’s spoken openly about the incident since, citing the violation of…

Chances are that art was one of your favourite lessons at school. Well, we hope you were paying attention cos the modernist movement is about to make an impact on your home. From splatter motifs and mismatched spots to punchy brights, arty accents make for the freshest of upgrades. Class is most certainly in session. 'I’m usually drawn to tonal pieces, but these colour-pop vases will brighten up my mantle. MAXINE EGGENBERGER, FASHION NEWS & COMMERCIAL CONTENT EDITOR…

FILMS Loving: 5 Reasons We’re Crushing On Ruth Negga   IT’S DECIDED: LOOK IS OBSESSED WITH RUTH NEGGA AND WITH HEARTBREAKING NEW FILM LOVING HITTING CINEMAS THIS WEEK, WE’VE COUNTED THE WAYS… 1 Loving is based on the tear-jerking real life struggle of Richard and Mildred Loving – an interracial couple living in Virginia in 1958 who spend nine years fighting to raise their family in their hometown. Following their marriage, the pair are arrested and jailed for violating laws against mixed-race couples. According to director and writer Jeff Nichols, Ruth was the first person to audition for the part. 2 She knows how to work a red carpet. Working with celebrity stylist Karla Welch, she wowed the Golden Globes in a metallic Louis Vuitton number and managed to pull…

The allure of couture lies in the fantasy. That’s why so many style seekers emerged from last season a tad disappointed as fashion’s powerhouses gave the world’s most expensive clothes a far more practical edge. There was a strong focus on tailoring from the likes of Dior, Chanel and Atelier Versace. Of course, while the fabrics and techniques still produced structural sartorial wonders that were as beautiful as they were painstaking, the likes of Vetements also made its first foray into the heady world of haute with a Juicy Couture tracksuit at the centre of its collection. It certainly marked a turning point for this age-old tradition. This year, however, there seems to have been yet another shift. All eyes were on Dior as its first female artistic director, Maria…

From turquoise tresses to lavender locks, it seems like there’s a new hot colour on the block every week. With more and more celebs braving a statement shade switch-up (think Kylie Jenner’s rather experimental 2016), coloured hair has been reinvented. Less punk rock chick, more fash girl chic, it’s an altogether more accessible and wearable trend. Conceived by co-founder of Bleach London Alex Brownsell, blorange is a hybrid of, yep you guessed it, blonde and orange. Seasoned colour chameleon Georgia May Jagger was the guinea pig first gifted the shade by Alex. Since then, the rosy apricot shade has cropped up on our Instagram feed a fair few times and has been seen on celebs like Sienna Miller and Hailey Baldwin. Most of us would dye our hair some weird…

Coco Chanel was a wise woman. Of course her clothes have transcended the decades, but it’s her words that have truly cemented her as one of fashion’s all-time greats; words that we (and by 'we’ we mean ourselves, you and anyone else who lives style), take as gospel. So to dispute one of her most acclaimed sayings is not something we take lightly. 'Before you leave the house, look in the mirror and take one thing off ’ – we’ve lived our wardrobes by this sartorial titbit for years. Now, though, our stance on the matter has changed and it’s all down to Accessorize’s new collection. The bijoux bag stalwart has always been on radar, but after its guitar-strap cross-bodies blew up in a big way last season we knew…

“She really wants Liam to focus on their plans first” We can’t help but think that Cheryl’s grand plans for 2017 aren’t shaping up in exactly the way she’d hoped. Following a tumultuous year in terms of romance (one divorce from Jean-Bernard Fernandez-Versini, one new relationship with One Direction’s Liam Payne – and one extended separation as he jetted overseas), the 33-year-old has said before that she wants to start afresh. But actually, despite that, it’s the end of January and not much has changed: her boyfriend is back in Los Angeles and he’s been out partying. Not only that, but in a dramatic turn of events last week he was caught in a shoot-out, something that terrified his girlfriend Chez. Sources have told us that she hopes he’ll now…

We’re right in the thick of awards season 2017, when weary Look staffers hole themselves up in the office in frenzied anticipation of who will be wearing the It dress of the night. And it’s not just that – it’s the details that count. The clutch bag? Who’s starting a new nail-colour trend? And that’s before we even get started on the actual award winners. But what about the journey from dress selection to the actual event? Slaves to Instagram and Snapchat, celebs heavily document their awards preparation process. Potential Oscars leading lady Emma Stone has already revealed her pre-show eye mask essentials, while Eva Longoria loves to give fans a glimpse into the full day of work her team spend on her look. The stars’ entourages must work their…

SHEER BLUES Follow in the footsteps of DKNY, Jason Wu, Armani, Michael Kors and Lanvin and join the cobalt club. Fancy wearing your trends to the power of two? Choose barely there organza, wisps of chiffon and even mesh panels to tap into the catwalk’s sheer sensation. Transparency is key. 80s Spirit We’ve got love for you if (you dress like) you were born in the 80 s. Whether it’s Balenciaga’s power dressers or Saint Laurent’s high-octane, ostentatious take on glamour, your wardrobe is about to take a step back in time. For the bravest among you, go full throttle with foil textures, metallic sheens and risqué party frocks with sky-high hemlines. If, however, you’re less Madonna and more minimal, try incorporating key 80 s elements into your usual style…

Sydney-based PT, health coach and mum Lee Sutherland knows how to make fitness and food look fun. Yes, she has a lush life – we wish we could work out on Bondi beach – but she’s become super-popular thanks to her outdoor workouts and fresh foodie choices. Here she reveals her top tips… Move Every Day ‘That doesn’t necessarily mean boxing, barre or yoga every day. It could just be a 30 minute walk when I get a chance, or a stretch session at the end of a long day. To get my sweat on, I go for HIIT sessions like Tabata.’ Be Consistent ‘There’s no point being a health goddess for a week and then a junk food demon for the next two. For lunch, I like a salad…

The Oscars. The BAFTAs. The NTAs. Yep, awards season is in full swing and while the latter may serve mostly as our guilty red carpet pleasure, the fashion at this year’s event could’ve given even the most-seasoned A-lister a run for her sartorial money. Among the best dressed at the National Television Awards were Michelle Keegan (natch), Lilah Parsons and Rochelle Humes. However, there was one TV star who stood out from the rest – so much so that you crowned her your Number One on Instagram @Lookmagazine: Holly Willoughby. A vision in a bespoke Pepto-Bismol pink creation by occasionwear outfitter Samuel Dougal, Holly’s demure look offered a much needed respite from the skin flaunted by other attendees. Channelling the timeless beauty of Grace Kelly with her wavy golden locks…
