Zara’s Statement Lace I’ve lost count of the amount of doily-like tops and blouses I’ve been lusting over on the high street lately, but this striking green number has knocked the competition out of the water. Although I love lace, I’m not a fan of showing off too much skin, so I’ll be slipping a longline bralet or cami underneath for big meetings. Sarah Aquazzura’s Pompom Heels Stick a pompom on something and I’m sold! Seriously, though, if you’re going to splurge on designer shoes, they should be totally showstopping and I’m sure you’ll agree these Aquazzura beauties fit the bill. Don’t even think about just wearing them with party frocks, either – make like Olivia Palermo and rock with slouchy jeans and a relaxed tee. I’m all about the…

Let’s be honest, a good brow day can make or break your make-up look. But while we’re so used to seeing the same old ultra-precise arches everywhere from red carpets to our Insta-feeds, now there’s a whole new brow trend in town and it’s set to take over… Meet the smoky brow. Huge in South Korea (AKA the epicentre of breakthrough beauty trends), make-up artists worldwide are making the smoky brow a global hit. So what is it? A much softer approach to arch definition, similar to smoky eyes, it’s all down to a well-blended powder finish. The softer, natural edge to the brow gives an ultra-flattering finish and can knock years off your appearance thanks to the ungroomed, youthful look. It’s also a major winner for thin, sparse brows,…

My DNA-Repairing Tinted Moisturiser I was blown away at the launch of new skincare range DNA Renewal*. The dermatologist behind it, Dr Ronald Moy, is a pioneering research scientist and he explained that the products regenerate and renew sun-damaged skin… pretty amazing, huh? It’s quite pricey, but the Tinted Moisturiser, £40, is something I use every day. Plus, if it’s improving my skin the more I wear it, what’s not to love? Victoria I ♥ Diptyque! Handbag designer Olympia Le-Tan has teamed up with candle connoisseurs Diptyque to celebrate Valentine’s Day. They’ve even created an emoji app with all the cute motifs from the packaging, so you can send hints to your boyfriend! Samantha Elizabeth Arden’s Wonder Wand If curl, length and serious volume are top of your lash wishlist,…

With the BAFTAs, Brits, Grammys and Oscars all upon us, awards season is in full swing. And for the A-list, looking their best has never been so important. We reveal their trusted diet tricks and get The Harley Street Nutritionist and diet expert Jo Travers to give her verdict… J-Law’s Bloat-Busting Trick Jennifer Lawrence’s trainer Dalton Wong says she sips camomile tea pre- awards, revealing: ‘It’s a brilliant diuretic so it helps to prevent water retention and flushes out toxins.’ Jo’s Verdict: ‘Any fluids will help flush out toxins – it doesn’t have to be camomile tea. There is some evidence that it can help with stress and bloating.’ Jen-An’s Skin-Smoothing Smoothie Jennifer Aniston’s revealed the secret to her glowing skin is all in a morning smoothie of ‘protein powder,…

Rock A Bold Lip AND Eye Earn yourself some cool points by shrugging off those safe, neutral eye and lip shades and embracing a colour-pop pout and a statement eye. Keep things glam by rocking one of our beauty-team-approved colour combos… NEON DREAM A fuchsia-pink lip, like Stargazer Lipstick in Neon Magenta, £ 3 . 50 , will look amazing with bold blue eyes. So smudge MAC Eyeshadow in Atlantic Blue, £ 13 , along your lash line. You’ll definitely stand out from the crowd. ALL THAT GLITTERS Forget what you’ve heard, grown-ups can wear glitter. A swipe of Stila’s All Day Liquid Lipstick in Chianti, £ 16 , will give you a sparkling plum pout. For eyes, go all-out with a glossy emerald, like NARS Eye Paint in Snake…

Victoria Beckham Where? Arriving at an exhibition at Sotheby’s in London. What She’s Wearing: A blouse and midi co-ord from her pre-AW 16 collection, teamed with a plum leather clutch – also from her own line, obvs – and matching Casadei shoes. Junior Fashion News Assistant Bridie Wilkins says: ‘With not a structured cut or block colour in sight, VB’s latest look makes a change from her usual ensembles. At first glance, the print looks like a ditsy floral, but it’s actually made up of tiny gemstones. That, with the addition of fierce heels and her signature oversized sunnies, takes it out of twee territory. I’m hoping the high street pays homage soon.’…

‘I’m calling this the new suit – perfect summer office attire. Don’t worry, you can wear it now with a knit and ankle boots.’Gemma Yates, Fashion News Editor ‘Minimal and cool is how fashion kicks should be – it means they’ll work with everything in your wardrobe. Now, to go for khaki or navy?’Bridie Wilkins, Fashion News Assistant ‘Vertical stripes are super-flattering – score!

If it’s not…

White jeans work as well for winter as they do in summer. Just add knits and ankle boots. Where Gigi, Kendall and co go, we want to follow. Particularly when it means being clued up on the best thing to happen to our denim in a long while. That thing is One Teaspoon, the jean-ius (sorry) behind Gigi’s mega-rips, Hailey Baldwin’s cool turn-ups and Kendall’s, well, quite a lot of Kendall’s wardrobe as it happens. Hailing from Australia, Instagram recently named the label as the most engaging in its field; no mean feat when you think about all those iconic denim brands already out there. But with edgy, laid-back designs that are such a hit with the world’s favourite girl gang, not to mention the ease with which you can…

Spending Valentine’s Day as a single woman? Don’t fret. Instead, take your inspiration from Robin (played by Rebel Wilson) and Alice (Dakota Johnson) in the hilarious new flick How To Be Single and it might just be the best V-Day you’ve ever had… 1 Go On A Girls’ Night Out Forget staying in and grab your mates for a wild night out. Every time you see a couple snogging on a romantic date, do a shot. Best. Night. Ever. 2 Play Tinder Roulette Swipe right 10 times, then swipe left 10 times for as long as you dare. Wait until the morning to check your matches. Leaving it up to fate could pair you up with your perfect match – or at least provide some serious LOLs for your pals!…

Fearne’s Suit Culotte co-ords are a firm fashion fave, but it’s the stripes on Fearne’s River Island get-up we’re smitten with. Let the print do the talking and team with a simple white shirt and patent brogues for a work look that’ll never grow old. Selena’s Ankle Boots Thanks to Kurt Geiger, staple ankle boots just got a whole new lease of life. The bold red snake-print finish guarantees they’ll make a statement whatever you pair them with, but try jeans, a classic white tee and trench for round-the-clock style. Millie’s Dress We’d normally save our maxi wrap dresses for summer, but Millie proves they’re a year-round wardrobe hero. She’s paired a souped-up satin number from her own collection with a sleek faux fur stole and strappy courts to give…

1 SPINACH: ‘Stock up on iron,’ says Jo. ‘Too little causes tiredness and even dizziness’ not what you need when trying to hold the perfect pose. 2 QUINOA: ‘Wholegrain carbohydrates are essential for slow energy release and won’t cause bloating,’ says Jo. 3 CUCUMBER AND PARSLEY: ‘Natural diuretics that will trick your body into getting rid of excess liquid.’ Bye, puffy eyes! 4 CHIA SEEDS: Mix chia seeds into your cereal. ‘They have the highest natural source of omega- 3 s for collagen production.’…

Wear Clumpy Lashes Overloaded, clumpy eyelashes have long been frowned upon, but not any more. ‘Mascara layering’ is the trend we’re all talking about – the more coats the better, with OTT doll-like lashes taking centre stage. The trick is to get your lash formula right for maximum flutter effect… Prep: Swipe on a coat of Pixi’s Black Lacquer Lash Primer in Jet Black, £ 15 . Coat: Build up hyper-thick volume with Smashbox’s X-Rated Mascara, £ 19 . 50 . Finish: A coat of Marc Jacobs Velvet Noir Major Volume Mascara, £ 20 , will give lashes a final lift, while the luxurious jet-black formula will ensure serious impact. Tights + Sandals = Chic Alexa Chung proves sandals aren’t just for summer by wearing hers with black tights. Once…

3 Ways To... Play With Layers The secret to dressing like a street-style star? Unexpected layering. Here’s how to nail the savviest sartorial trick on the block… 1 Try layering to the power of three. A short-sleeved dress over a white shirt is elevated to new heights when topped off with a suede wrap skirt. Just stick to complimentary colours. 2 Give your black tights a rest and wear skirts over trousers. Pick skinny styles if your skirt has volume, but don’t be afraid to try wide legs with knee-length pencil styles, too. 3 The catwalk’s take on the trend? Use your bomber jacket as the bottom layer and wear sleeveless frocks over the top. Check out Au Jour Le Jour for the ultimate inspo. Re-Spin Your Flats After Dark…

“There are romantic, older gents sincerely seeking soulmates” Tinder hasn’t had the best press recently. There’s the off-putting statistics (42 per cent of its users are reportedly taken), the lying profiles (#OnTinderAtTinder went viral with users sharing on Twitter what they really look like) and of course many a 'Tinder nightmare’ is shared on social media every day. It’s enough to put a gal off, especially as my own experiences haven’t been great. In fact, I’ve met so many rude and flaky dates I’m ready to give up on meeting men through my mobile. But three new apps have cropped up recently – all of which pair-up potential partners in unique ways and claim to weed out time-wasters – so I embark on a mission I hope will end in…

1 Sleek Matte Me Ultra Smooth Matte Lip Cream in Birthday Suit Look’s Sam says: ‘This shade is the perfect suitsallmatte nude. The velvet cream starts off glossy but dries matte. Apply in thin layers to avoid it getting gloopy.’ Laura says: ‘While this lip cream took a bit of time to dry, once it did it lasted for ages. I got loads of compliments on the colour, but it was quite sticky and started to go flaky after I ate and drank.’ 2 Revlon Ultra HD Matte Lipcolor in HD Love Amour Look’s Sam says: ‘This ticks all my matte lipstick boxes! The wax-free formula wasn’t drying and the colour was amazing. Use a little oncheeks for a matching blush’ Laura says: ‘I didn’t think…
