What’s blue and white and striped all over? Your new wardrobe. Yep, this pinstripe is more popular than, er, Pokémon Go. After everyone went crazy for Brit designer JW Anderson's summer capsule collection for Net-A-Porter, we started seeing the stripy theme crop up everywhere from Zara to Topshop. Bardot frocks, shirt dresses and frilled-hem trousers make this linear print as relevant for the weekend as it is for work – and it transcends seasons, too. Off-the-shoulder top? Layer over a poloneck when the heatwave’s over. Now that’s cost-per-wear we can get on board with. Layer over tailored trousers for the perfect work ensemble…

1 First up, she should apologise and ’fess up to not having specified there was a phone call in the first place. Whenever you’ve made a mistake, saying sorry takes the wind out of everybody else’s sails. Getting defensive and angry only makes you look more untrustworthy. 2 Having said that, Taylor definitely shouldn’t back down on the fact that she was upset with the words ‘that bitch’ and that Kanye didn’t tell her about that bit. The best way to do that? Write a bloody amazing song about it! Play to your strengths. 3 She should give herself a digi detox. Being online 24/› and never switching off can be stressful and make us anxious. Giving yourself ‘tech breaks’ even for just an hour each day, where you turn…

BLING RINGS She’s mastered the ring stack and is living proof that piling up your dainty jewels is still big news on the accessory scene. Take note. COLOUR CLASH Red and yellow and pink and green – Blake’s wrists play host to an entire rainbow of shiny trinkets. GIRLIE GLAM Ornate beading, sparkling gems and lashings of lace – make like Blake and adopt ‘more is more’ as your accessory mantra. BLACK & WHITE Impossibly chic in monochrome, bar that h-u-g-e yellow diamond on her finger. A girl can dream, huh? CLUTCH & GO It might not hold much (nay anything), but all of her after-dark outfits come with a teeny clutch as standard. Beaut.…

• Try not to look in the mirror when you braid. Often looking in the mirror will actually hinder you, so try to feel your way instead. 1. Grip To prep the hair and make braiding easier, section into a side parting and apply Schwarzkopf got 2 b Playful styling primer, RRP £ 4.07 to lengths for grip and lasting control. 2. Braid Starting from the root, braid the hair into a three-stem plait, taking hair from underneath as you go and twisting it into the braid, creating a more visible French plait. 3 . Secure Keep braiding the hair around the head so it forms a halo. Once you’ve run out of hair, secure with an elastic to keep the braid in place, then firm up with grips wherever…

‘This summer I’ve been obsessed with stripes. If I don’t wear something stripy at least once a week I get major withdrawals. Plus they go with pretty much anything.' ‘A pair of flat comfy trainers are a weekend winner: I practically live in Converse at the moment.' ‘Sunglasses are the ultimate summer accessory so you can never have enough. When I go away I take several pairs with me. #Addict!' ‘Denim shorts are the perfect summer staple. They're super-versatile and will work for both day and night, while on holiday or at home.' ‘A fun cross-body bag will work with a ton of different outfits. The kookier, the better!' ‘I love anything with a retro vibe and this powder blue shirt dress is perfect for ticking off next season's 60s…

THE SCIENCE PART: Scent Of A Dream uses the psychoactive ingredients Iso E Super, Hedione and Ambroxan, which are activated by body heat to stimulate desire. These molecules mimic your own natural pheromones, attracting the people around you… basically making you super-irresistible. Each ingredient has been picked to unlock emotions and heighten desirable qualities when smelt by other people. • ‘I love this. On first spritz, it’s got a real fresh and zingy feel, but after a few hours of settling into the skin, the warmer floral notes leave a deeper, sexier vibe.’ • ‘I really like how this settles into the skin and lasts for hours – which I feel no other fragrances really do on me. A sexy stranger on the street hasn’t asked me out yet… though…

“VB SAID PIPPA WOULD BECOME A STYLE ICON AFTER THE ROYAL WEDDING” Another day, another diamond – no, we don’t mean your Facebook feed, even though it may feel like all your friends are getting hitched – we’re talking Pippa Middleton. After getting engaged to James Matthews on 17 July, the Duchess of Cambridge’s sister might have further reason to celebrate as Victoria Beckham is said to be desperate to design her wedding dress. 'Victoria loves nothing more than the ceremony of a high-class wedding,’ says our source, 'and she’d love to be involved.’ Pippa, 32, and Victoria, 42, have reportedly remained friends since meeting at the Royal Wedding in 2011 and have bumped into each other at various social events since, including Wimbledon. 'Victoria predicted Pippa would become a…

Shopping Hero Of The Week Is… Zara Martin! Props to you, girl – this H&M maxi is an absolute dream and we’re just a bit beside ourselves at the thought of putting it on. Team with trainers by day and strappy block heels by night. And if anyone asks, we found it first on H&M’s website, OK? WRAP UP THAT PROMO Shirt dresses have been huge news of late, which is great news for work wear wardrobes. We’ve noticed, though, that the savviest style mavens are wearing theirs with an in-built waist tie. J-Law kickstarted the trend, and now some of our fave shopping spots have caught up. All these shirty styles need are a pointed pump and a glossy tote. Hello, CEO! WRITTEN IN THE STARS Several years ago,…

1 Mark Hill MiracOILicious Moroccan Argan Oil Look’s Gabrielle: While I was properly impressed with the lightweight formula, I did need to use a lot for my thick tresses. It absorbed at super speed, though, and seriously smoothed my split ends, which are overdue a cheeky trim. Charlotte: I’ve popped this oil on my holiday packing list to protect my locks in the heat. I reckon it’ll work a treat when I hit the Italian beaches. Bring on the sunshine! BEST FOR HOLIDAYS 2 Paul Mitchell Marula Oil Rare Oil Treatment Look’s Gabrielle: This bad boy is ideal for dry, damaged, thick and unruly hair because it’s made from cold-pressed marula. It’s jam-packed with powerful antioxidants and replenishing oleic acids, which means it can do a…

It started with a stitch. Multiple, intricate stitches, to be exact. When Vita Kin started designing her own versions of vyshyvanka – the name given to the distinctive, heavily embroidered blouses and dresses that make up traditional Ukranian costume – little did she know she’d become the talk of the town (quite literally). With billowing balloon sleeves and loose smock shapes, the designs sold out everywhere despite their four-figure price tag. After winning Eurovision in May, Ukraine has also conquered the rails of our favourite retailers and now there’s a glut of vyshyvanka tributes. From Insta-famous brands like Wonder & Weaver and Innika Choo to luxury label Daft, there are enough embroidered trophy buys for us all. Even our high street heroes have tapped the Slavic style: H&M, Boohoo and…

Ladies, meet the 'It’ dress of summer 2016. LK Bennett’s Karo floral maxi is flying off the shelves and it’s all down to a certain Middleton sister. And no, it’s not the one you’re thinking. From Reiss dresses to those LK Bennett nude courts, the Duchess of Cambridge may have made many an item sell out in seconds, but this time it’s Pippa causing sales to soar. After revealing that engagement rock, it’s been all eyes on the younger Middleton sis and LKB have revealed that her floral frock is already the bestseller of their pre-fall collection. It seems Pippa’s inspired fellow celebs to snap it up too – spots so far include her brother James’s girlfriend Donna Air, Kim Sears (AKA Mrs Andy Murray) and actress Olivia Grant. Spendy,…

“ Taylor Swift-style squads aren’t my thing! ” If we had to pick one celeb to go on a night out with, Michelle Keegan would definitely be at the top of our list. Our favourite Manchester lass knows a good night out and always looks mega-glam. So before the Revlon #ChooseLove Masquerade Ball in London, we were excited to meet up with Michelle, 29, in a swanky hotel suite to get ready to party. From the word go, we’re told that questions about husband of a year Mark Wright, 29, are strictly off-limits. We’re not all that surprised Mich doesn’t want to go into it – she and Mark are reportedly going through a rough patch, with hectic filming schedules to blame. When we ask Mich whether she wishes she…

“TAYLOR’S NUMB AND IN TOTAL SHOCK. SHE HAD NO IDEA SHE WAS SO DESPISED” June 14 : It might not be a poignant date for most, but for Taylor Swift it probably is. It was the day before her shock relationship with Tom Hiddleston was revealed and probably the last time she felt in control of her own life. Because in five short weeks, her entire world has been turned upside down. Her latest battle? She’s been snubbed from the MTV Video Music Awards, despite releasing three eligible videos this year. It’s quite the contrast to last year’s VMAs pre-show, where Taylor premiered her Wildest Dreams video and had no less than 10 nominations, winning four awards. 'Not getting a VMA nod has been another huge blow for Taylor,’ says…

Something somewhere went wrong with the universe, because Blake Lively is living our life. She’s been married to her 'best friend’ Ryan Reynolds for the past four years and the couple have a one-year-old daughter James; she’s about to have her second child while looking incredible ; and don’t even get us started on her wardrobe. There’s no one more effortlessly glam than Blake. Typically the 28-year-old star refuses to work with a stylist and in fact says when it comes to motherhood, films, fashion and more, she likes to do her own thing, only trusting her true friends. 'There are few people that I ask – Karl, Christian,’ she tells us. She means Karl Lagerfeld and Christian Louboutin, naturally. We’re suitably impressed. The only dip she’s had was launching…

Summer is here and when the sun shines all we want to do is sit outside with an alcoholic beverage. But with a shedload of summer weddings, races, garden parties and barbecues – not to mention the overwhelming urge to be in a beer garden every day – things can get a little, well, boozy. But before you think about going teetotal, check out the low-calorie cocktail options you can make at home or buy pre-mixed. Cheers!
