1 TRENDING #Teensy day bags True or false – you can only carry a tiny bag at nighttime. FALSE! Scaled down, shrunken or diminutive… you can’t go wrong with a bit of arm candy. Bonus: you look like you really have your life together because you basically carry NOTHING. 2 RETWEETING “No one hates jumpsuits more than bladders.” The struggle is real, @oliviawilde. It really is. 3 STYLING NOTHING TO WEAR? THAT’S SOOO NOT A PROBLEM WHEN YOU’VE GOT SOMEONE PROFESH TO MAKE YOU LOOK ~FLAWLESS~ EVERYDAY. GET TO KNOW THE FACES BEHIND THE STYLE... 4 OBSESSING Fernanda Ly is just a unicorn of a person. She can walk for Louis Vuitton. She can give the camera doe eyes under a pastel waterfall of hair so dreamlike she could be…

No matter the trends are... RAY-BAN WAYFARER SUNGLASSES: Created in 1952, the design was considered radically new at the time. By the ‘80s, poor sales meant they were on the verge of discontinuation, but a huge product-placement deal put them in movies and TV shows, cementing their status as iconic. Ray-Ban sunglasses, $209.95 CONVERSE CHUCK TAYLOR ALL STAR SNEAKERS: First introduced in 1917 as the ‘All Star’, famous American basketballer Chuck Taylor became their spokesperson in the ’20s. Over time, they’ve gone from legit sports shoes casual footwear and remain the most recognisable kicks of all-time. Converse sneakers, $90 BONDS CLASSIC TEE: The white tee is often tied to legendary actors of the ’50s like James Dean. But locally, when you think of a white T-shirt, you think Bonds. The…

...HERSELF Fave look? My own! It’s my style, it’s what I personally would wear. I liked the other looks, but I preferred to style myself. Do you think the way they styled you says something about the way they see you? I think it did – I learnt from my friend I look good in red – that’s what she was trying to tell me. I learnt we all have different opinions, too. Who do you dress for? I mostly dress to please myself. Other people don’t dictate what I wear, but they do factor into it. If I am going to a family event, I won’t wear booty shorts! Holly’s mum says she likes seeing her in pretty, feminine clothes. ...HER MUM Do you think the looks show that…

Life path numbers run from 1 to 9, but there are three master numbers – 11, 22, 33 – which have double the power. They don’t make you special (soz) but they bring greater challenges and in return, greater potential achievement. NUMEROLOGY has been around for a really long time, but do you actually know what it is? We didn’t, but we asked a professional – Aleni Matsas, a Sydney-based Energy Healer – and she made it pretty easy to understand. “It applies specific meaning to the single digit numbers from zero to nine. When the energetic vibration of each of these numbers is applied to our lives using our birthdate and name, we get to look at our lives differently and can understand ourselves better.” Today, you’re gonna learn…

Fashion is a pretty powerful thing. It can affect our mood, the way we perceive ourselves and the way others perceive us. It’s also a really subtle way to give yourself a confidence-boost when you need it most – whether it’s pulling your most-trusted (and flattering) jeans out of your wardrobe, or rocking a babe’n red dress when you want to show your ex what they’re missing. It’s all about making your clothes work for you… So how do I know which colours suit me?! It’s actually really easy! Raid everyone’s wardrobes at home so you’ve got one item in every colour. Then, with your bedroom blinds up so that natural light is shining on you, hold each piece up against your chest. You’ll know instantly whether a colour makes…

“At the beginning of year 12, I read an article about alternatives to Schoolies trips and learned about volunteer programs people from all over the world can be involved in. I found Rustic Pathways (rusticpathways.com.au) and they had so many cool trips for school leavers – ones I could actually afford! I decided to sign up for the Thai Elephant Conservation Project, because I’ve always been passionate about animal rights and I love elephants. I was fascinated by the way Thai culture sees them as symbolic and sacred and I didn’t know much about Thailand itself, so it seemed like a great opportunity. I know the end of school means hanging out with your friends every second of the day, but I decided to go on this trip solo. I…

Question time I told my mum about this guy at school that I had a crush on and she thought it was so cute. She asked to see photos of him and started asking questions about him. Later in the week, Mum saw his brother at the shops and she told him I liked my crush and had an entire convo with him! I’ll never tell my mum anything like that again! Taylah, Vic Right on cue I was having dinner at my BF’s house with his family and his dad was telling a story about how his mate farted in front of everyone at work that day. I started laughing so hard that Ifarted! I was so humiliated. I tried to get up and run out of the room…

Queen of copycats My friend, who’s 15, copies everything I do, from what I wear to what I like. She finishes my sentences and makes up stories so that they sound like mine. It’s like she has no identity. Her whole personality is based on me and my friends, she doesn’t have any of her own opinions. It’s been like this for about four years. What can I do? Annoyed, via email You don’t have to do anything, just be patient with her. One of the key questions all GF readers have to ask is, “Who am I?” Psychologists call this ‘identity formation’ and it’s one of the key developmental tasks of young people. In order to answer this question, girls try on one ‘mask’ or identity after the other…

NAME: Zak Henri AGE: 20 STAR SIGN: Scorpio BEST FEATURE: His hair WHAT MADE HIS FAMOUS: Besides his wind machine-worthy hair, Zak has starred in a few films. His most successful so far was Blended, alongside Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore. Ever since then, it’s safe to say we’ve fallen in love. Call us? WHAT’S NEXT: Catch him in Teenage Cocktail and The Sphere and the Labyrinth, out later this year. “A SENSE OF HUMOUR. I THINK THAT’S KEY FOR ANY LONG-LASTING RELATIONSHIP.”…

On Snapchat The best flirty Snapchats are ones that aren’t too obvious. Like – wanna send a selfie? Yasss, gurl – just make sure it has a point. Like a super-cute shot of you pulling a frowny face with the text “Ugh, homework” is perf because you get to send a cute selfie, but it encourages a reply and doesn’t seem like you’re just saying ‘hey look at me, I’m a babe’. Also, don’t forget to use the chat option to reply to their snaps, especially if they’re funny. They’ll love that you took the time to let them know you think they’re LOL-worthy. Instagram If your crush has a public Insta profile, you DEF should follow them – it’ s way less intense to follow someone you barely know…

Having a moment: Do-it-alls If you need makeup stuff to carry in your school bag for potential after hours run-ins with cute boys, multi-use products are totally your jam. Basically, palettes or dual products mean on-the-go prettifying is no drama at all. The trick is buying the right one for your needs. We love this Too Faced palette because it’s all about looking ~au naturel~, with concealer, illuminator, blush and bronzer all included – and if major Bambi eyes is what you’re about, the double ended new mascara/ liner duo from ModelCo is the ish. Scene STEALER Can we just hail Katy Perry as the queen of dress ups? The pop princess is all about OTT costuming and everything dramatic, so naturally her release of this cheeky, sweet scent right…

Winter is NOT my friend, guys. I’m so happy it’s over because wow, I hate it. I thought I loved it, what with the hot chocolates and the cute jumpers and the great life excuse to sloth on the couch all weekend watching Pretty Little Liars season after season, but no. Just… no. There are too many crap things about winter and I was just waiting for the day I could throw all my woolies in this random basket I have for out-of-season clothes and be done with them. I mean first up, my skin FREAKS OUT into another dimension. When I was a little kid, I had really bad eczema. Gross yet semi-cute scenario: my mum would have to cover me in cream and then bandage me up like…

You started on YouTube when you were only 12! Did you always feel like music was in your future? I always knew I had to do something within music, even if it wasn’t singing. Yeah, even if I was having a low moment I always knew that eventually I would bounce back from it. You’ve said making your first EP [Handmade Songs by Tori Kelly, which she produced and recorded in her bedroom] was one of your greatest achievements. Do you feel like that’s still the case? Yeah, absolutely. I think looking back on that first EP, I’m really glad I did it because sometimes I forget that I can produce on my own and write on my own. So knowing that I did that, it’s like ‘Oh cool, I…

1 HER CHARACTER IS NEW to the scene (and she knows her Scorch): “[My character] Brenda is a lot like me in a number of ways. She is tenacious, she is a survivor, she’s dealt with a number of traumatic things early on in her life that she had to overcome and she is vulnerable. I like to play her because she isn’t vulnerable right off the bat, it takes some time and trust.” 2SHE CAN CONFIRM THAT DYLAN O’BRIEN IS A DELIGHT OF LIFE: “This is probably not surprising, but he is the most generous person I know. He cares a lot about the cast. He wears the same hoodie every day. He wears the same sweatpants – his truest state is sweatpants and a sweatshirt. I feel like…

when planning this issue, the GF squad was sitting around chatting about our personal style. Beauty ed Mel exclaimed that hers was ‘Basic Bae’, while we collectively coined entertainment ed Laura’s as ‘Teenage sk8ter boy meets quirky blogger’. And me? “You just dress in theme…” Mel informed me, “like some days you’ll be in milkmaid braids and be kinda prairie girl and we’ll all be like, ‘what is THAT?!’ Then the next day you’ll be super rock chick and we’ll be, ‘whoa, what happened there?!’ It’s so confusing.” Clearly Mel doesn’t worry getting FIRED... or about my feelings. But, all right, she kinda had a point. My style is eclectic at best, crazy at worst. I have what I thought was just a normal mag girl amount of clothing, until…

So you love your new grunge threads to death. Except next minute, your previously preppy friend starts rocking flannel shirts and scuffed Cons, too. You say you love a top and two seconds later she’s repping it on her Insta. You dye your hair pink and she goes pastel purple the following week. Yup, copycat behaviour SUCKS.

If you’ve ever watched the movie Richie Rich and thought, “I want dat life”, keep reading coz we have many tips on how to save – and make – money (and set yourself up for a lifetime of ballin’ and owning a dog with dollar signs on it). To help, we’ve asked Barbara Turley, a money management expert and founder of Energise Wealth, to help regular people like us understand tricky money stuff. BEAUTY IN THE BUDGET Creating a budget is probably the single-best thing you can do to start saving money – and it’s also the easiest (and NOT the most snooze-worthy, yes, really). “The concept of budgeting can often feel a little boring and more about depriving ourselves of things we want today in favour of things we…

“The first time I went to a comic convention, I dressed in Lolita, which is a Japanese fashion subculture based on Victorian-era clothes – but after going, I wished I had gone in cosplay. Cosplay is costume play – like a performance art where you dress up in costumes to recreate a character or idea. Not only do you dress like a particular character or thing, but you take on their characteristics and personality too. It’s a really cool thing to get into for anyone who has an interest in anime, movies, TV shows, comics – basically anything that has a fanbase. You can go full cosplay, or do a closet cosplay (that’s where you use your own clothes to recreate a more relaxed version of a character). Personally, cosplay…

Too much to touch Lately I’ve felt the need to masturbate. I don’t want to, but then I feel the need to. I can be lying down at night to go to sleep, but then I feel really horny. I live with my dad and there is no way I would talk to him about this. Is there a way I can stop this? Wondering, via email There is nothing abnormal about enjoying masturbation and it is quite natural to feel an urge to masturbate in private. If you are otherwise enjoying life but like to masturbate occasionally, I can’t see any problem. It’s a pity you can’t talk openly with Dad – I do hope you can talk to him about other stuff. If it’s difficult and there is…

School blues I’m falling behind in school and I’m under a lot of stress. I’m usually top of the class, but my teachers are all upset because I'm struggling and can never sit still. My parents expect more th an I can give. I worry about everything and everyone. I am scared and anxious all the time. Tense, via email Sounds like you need some professional help to deal with school, family expectations and your anxiety levels. There is a significant link between wellbeing and learning and anyone who is very stressed is going to struggle academically. So here is a plan of action. See your local GP or school counsellor and arrange to have an assessment. Many problems that GF readers have at school are easily diagnosed and treated,…

Q Hi Angus, I’ve been besties with a guy for about five years now and in that time, I’ve always known I like him as slightly more than just friends. He always sends me messages like “I miss you” and “When are we hanging out again?” but whenever we talk, it’s about his problems with girls. I’m like his Angus! I don’t want to say anything, because I love the friendship we have, but I’m always wondering about what it would be like if we were more than friends. What should I do? Charlie AI hate to say it, but I think you may have missed your chance. You’ve gotta let a guy know within the first three months of hanging out if you’re interested in maybe being more than…

Libra It’s your party month, but you’ll prefer a low-key celebration to something loud and wild. Yes, you’re super sociable, but plenty of ‘me’ time will ensure you feel calm and in control this October. Avoid crowds, chaotic people (especially those who drive you crazy with drama) and tune out of social media for a while. And your birthday surprise? A karmic encounter with someone irresistibly cute! Libra girl: You’re fair-minded, easy to talk to and fashionable. You love your squad and you feel complete when you’ve got a bestie or boyfriend by your side. Friendship bust-ups are your worst nightmare. You just want everyone to get along. You’ll make an awesome stylist, designer or relationship therapist! You prefer guys with good manners and clean looks. Scruffy or antisocial…

Rule #1: Keep your hands off your face Find yourself leaning on your hand, bored out of your mind when you study? Or rubbing your forehead when in complete freak-out mode? No! Stop! Put your hands down – they carry all kinds of ick bacteria and dirt which can seep into pores and clog them up real good. If you really can’t stop – try keeping an antibacterial gel on your desk and use it on-the-reg to keep your hands clean. Rule #2: Don’t skip out on your skincare Study weekends kinda turn into big long stretches of sleep/study/eat/sleep/study/eat. It’s pretty likely you are letting your hair run wild and it’s sitting in a greasy mop on top of your head and hey – you do you with…

1 Moisturise It’s easy to think the way to beat excess oil production is to dry it out, but that can actually be the REASON you have oil probs. Choose an oil-free moisturiser and apply it morning and night after cleansing. 2 All matte errythang Switch up your makeup to mattifying products – start with a mattifying primer to halt excess oil in its tracks. Then, use an oil-free, mattifying foundation or BB cream. 3 Get blurring Blurring products are designed to blur the appearance of pores, create a smooth skin surface and – yep – control oil through the day. The best thing is you can apply them under or on top of existing makeup, meaning throwing one in your bag for on-the-reg touch-ups is gonna make life way…

From the desk of Ash London While it’s my belief you should NEVER be ashamed of the music you listen to when you’re alone – some tracks from my ‘classics’ playlist might surprise you… • “Africa” - Toto: If you don’t know every lyric, backing vocal and drum fill in this song then you simply haven’t lived. • “Livin La Vida Loca” - Ricky Martin: I have a great and unending love Ricky Martin. His dancing in the music video for this song ignited a passion inside me • “Wide Open Spaces” - Dixie Chicks: I’ve had a couple of times in my life when I’ve ventured out on a new adventure – and this song sums up the fear and the excitement of leaving home. listen} THE WEEKND BEAUTY…

Hey Connor. So, you wrote a book! Was A Work In Progress something you’d hoped to do for a while? It was a huge goal for me on my 2014 goals list – I make one every year. So it was accomplished because I started writing it in 2014 and yeah, I had the goal, sought it out and I achieved it. You’re crushing it. How long does it take to write a book? For me, it took almost exactly a year from start to finish. I started in early May and it was published in April, so almost exactly one year. Which is really, really quick in terms of books. What kind of strategy did you have for writing? I tried the whole ‘setting this many hours a week’…

i feel like one of the greatest things in life would be to get noticed by your famous-person crush. One time, this comedian I really love favourited one of my tweets and I almost peed my pants. Another time, this cool rapper (like, an actual legit one who I will not name) followed Mel on Instagram and it was the talk of the office – and still is to this day. Yes, I know it makes me seem like a bit of an airhead, but I just love celebrity culture. DON’T JUDGE ME. Tweet tweet Anyway, let’s talk about how to get noticed by your celeb crush because I know there must be a few of you out there who are dying to know. It kind of depends how H.A.M.…

WE’RE SO EXCITED TO HAVE YOU BACK IN OZ FOR YOUTUBE FANFEST! I am so pumped! I’ve been telling everybody, because out of everywhere I’ve travelled Australia is in my top places to visit. Every time I’ve been my trips have been so incredible! WHAT ARE SOME OF YOUR AUSSIE TRIP HIGHLIGHTS? I’ve done lots of the touristy things, like the Opera House, and I did the Bridge Climb, which was really fun. Actually the first time I visited last year I tried surfing and that was my first time surfing ever! It was in Bondi. I faced my fear of going far out into the ocean which was cool. This time I definitely want to explore a bit more and maybe do some non-touristy things. HOW DO YOU PREPARE…

“A lot of kids hate school, but I was never one of them. Growing up, I always tried to stay at school as long as possible. Most people didn’t know the reason why was because I often didn’t have anywhere else to go. I grew up with my mum and five brothers and A sisters. We moved around. A lot. I went to five elementary schools, two middle schools and three high schools. Sometimes we moved because my mum didn’t like the school we lived by. Other times, we moved because she was evicted. My mum didn’t work – she was on government assistance, but it often wasn’t enough for her to support six kids and pay the bills. When I was about 15, my mum sat me down and…

1 GO FOR A RUN Physical activity is great for your physical health and your mental health. Chemicals produced in your body when you do cardiovascular exercise like running can improve brain power, reduce stress and even help with anxiety. Basically, you’re giving your brain a feel-good workout at the same time as your body. 2 LISTEN TO YOUR BREATHING If time is totally not on your side, try switching off from the craziness of life for just two minutes. Find a quiet place, close your eyes and focus on your breathing. This is a version of the technique ‘mindfulness’, which is all about remaining in the present to help with anxiety and stress. 3 JOURNAL YOUR THOUGHTS If you’re dealing with a bunch of stressy problems running circles in…

YOU’VE STARRED IN THE TWILIGHT SAGA,FURYANDTHELOVEDONES. HAS IT ALL BEEN A DREAM? You kind of have to pinch yourself occasionally! HOW DID YOU GET WHERE YOU ARE? I went straight from high school to a drama school called The Flinders University Drama Centre, which is in Adelaide. I spent four years studying there with 12 other people. It was every day, five days a week for four years… a long time! IS IT TRUE YOUR YOUNGER BROTHER AND OLDER SISTER ARE ALSO IN THE INDUSTRY? Yes, it just kinda happened by accident I think! My brother is an actor as well and my sister is a stage manager, but both my parents were teachers. Kinda bizarre, isn’t it? WHICH WAS THE COOLEST SET YOU’VE EVER WORKED ON? I’ve been really…

We chatted to Priceline Pharmacy Beauty Advisor April Morris to get the hot tip on concealing redness. 1 Redness is often caused by skin irritation, so it’s best to start with a calming moisturiser. If your skin is particularly irritated and you have some time, try a calming mask – these can help soothe skin to diminish redness. “Smooth moisturiser outwards and upwards from the centre of your face, using circular motions,” says April. 2 On areas that are showing redness, add green concealer, blending well using a concealer brush. The green tone helps counteract the red tones in your skin, helping hide them once you apply your foundation. 3 When adding foundation, “use a damp sponge or brush to gently stipple the foundation,” says April. Stippling is basically tapping…
