‘Get the banana! Get the banana! Get the BANANA!’ No, I’m not doing my best Minion impression; I’m recounting one of the many joys of my (and likely your) childhood. Supermarket Sweep, hosted by Dale Winton, was the jewel in the TV game show crown from 1993 until 2001 (though admittedly it started to go downhill from 98). I loved it. Everyone loved it. In case you were denied this glorious viewing in your youth, let me bring you up to speed: a team of two start with 60 seconds on the clock and subsequently have to answer a series of questions correctly to up their time. This was a mere formality. Once their time was determined, they’d be given it to dash around a staged supermarket, collecting items in…

‘Idon’t have to work, I need to work.’ If you’re looking for an example of a celeb with an incredible work ethic, Victoria Beckham will spring to mind. But it seems Vic, 43, might be having doubts, after a source speaking exclusively to Look revealed she’s growing weary of being away from her kids. ‘Victoria is really struggling to cope with the emotional strain of being the main worker in the family and losing out on time with the children as a result,’ explains a close pal. ‘Her workload has increased, and since David retired from football she’s feeling quite jealous that he’s living a more carefree life and enjoying quality time with the children – especially Harper. Victoria takes her role as a mum so seriously and she doesn’t…

Like a Chanel 2.55 bag and the bengal kitten you stalk on Insta, Olivia Palermo’s ’drobe is high on everyone’s want list. Realistically, though, the queen of fash isn’t about to let us into her walk-in any time soon, but thanks to her latest campaign with Coast, we can glimpse what it might actually look like. This will be the third Coast collab under OP’s suitably bejewelled belt, and it’s naturally gained need-right-now status because A) Olivia never puts a fashionable foot wrong and B) did you just read point A? So, what can we expect? With it’s ‘Friday’ monkier, think of it as Coast’s answer to daily dressing (read: it’s insanely chic, but not as formal as the mainline collection). We’ve got our eye on the embroidered maxi dress,…

When it comes to shoes and bags, we like to think of ourselves as experts in the field, and while styles come and go, Charles & Keith is still where it’s at. Relatively new to Brit soil, the blogger-adored brand has been doing the rounds in its native Singapore since 1996, and evidently the years of experience have paid off where its AW17 collection is concerned. Of course, there are excellent boots with heels both high and low, designer-worthy flats and serious disco shoes, but it’s the standout totes and expensive-looking cross-bodies that have stolen our hearts. Throw in some, er, bangin’ jewels, and what do you get? Everything we could dream of for the new season. Bearing that in mind, you’ll be as surprised as we were to discover…

Ah, stripes. Perhaps the most iconic trend to ever have graced Planet Fashion, a favourite of Coco Chanel and Audrey Hepburn alike, and now a modern-day style essential. Their appeal stands strong, but if you’re protective of the traditional monochrome stripe status, look away now. For the new season, the wardrobe classic has been reborn in red, white and blue – a combo akin to something else we couldn’t live without: toothpaste. Specifically, Aquafresh. Yep, it’s all in the name of colour, and with summer slipping away we couldn’t be keener. Choose a classic T-shirt, or bag a blouse for more formal occasions. It’s good to change your stripes every now and then, right?…

Marks & Spencer Look Deputy Beauty Editor Chloe loves: Autograph Tan Prep Primer, £ 8.50 ‘This spray-on lotion contains an alpha hydroxy acid which speeds up skin exfoliation to remove dead skin cells. Which means that yes, it’s great for getting super-soft limbs and banishing bumpy arms, but it’s also really good at getting rid of grubby, old fake tan before applying your next layer!’ @chloeburcham Sainsbury’s Look reader Emily Jones loves: Sainsbury’s Boutique Lipstick, £ 7 ‘I use a lot of both high-end and cheap make-up, but Sainsbury’s Boutique Lipstick is amazing. The colour pay-off is great and lasts for ages on your lips, too. No one would ever guess it’s from a supermarket!’ @emilyjadejones ASDA Look Influencer Alice can’t get enough of: Andrew Barton SOS Treatment Mask, £…

1 MIDDLE OF THE ROAD We’ve all been there, you either want to splash out or go cheap as chips with the house white. Instead of going for one or the other, head straight to the middle of the list as this is where all the best value wines are found. 2 USE AN APP When you’re not in the know, use an app. Vivino has recommendations from all over the world, and all you have to do is scan a label to bring up info about that wine. It even lets you know where you can buy it. Score! 3 OPT FOR NEW STYLES Even if you’re hellbent on being a New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc kind of girl, don’t order it more than once a month. Branch out with…

Following their romantic trip to Botswana, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are said to be closer than ever to a big announcement. But while all seems well on the surface, Harry, 32, is said to be growing increasingly concerned over Meghan’s safety, and with recent reports that he’s been collecting Meghan directly from Heathrow Airport during her UK visits, the prince is said to be fuming. ‘Nothing makes Harry more protective of Meghan than when their secrets become public knowledge,’ explains a royal source. ‘Harry doesn’t want to be surrounded by bodyguards, but he’s accepted there is a real risk to his and Meghan’s safety. It’s why she’s being given an extra officer to ensure her safety at all times – something…

GETTING SHIRTY • Think an off-the-shoulder top isn’t office appropriate? Think again. Not only is this Bardot shirt a tailored classic that your Mon-Fri look longs for, it’s no-fuss neckline is ideal for showing off your new hero hairdo, too. BOSSING IT • Oversized specs and a side-sweeping up-do may conjure up images of your old school secretary, but don’t let that fool you. This is #GirlBoss dressing at it’s best and we’re totally on board with it. EFFORTLESSLY CHIC • Forget a mundane messy bun, an outfit this chic deserves an equally elegant hairstyle. A pair of simple earrings pulls the look together and ensures focus stays on your hairline.…

It’s often the most unexpected things that make an outfit. Take geek glasses. Or chainmail (you’ll know what we’re talking about if you read last week’s issue, which obviously you all did, right?). All good trends of yesteryear make a resurgence, and now it’s the turn of the humble cardigan. Specifically, the granny cardigan. The type our grandmas would force us to wear while telling us we’d ‘catch our death’ when it was approximately 18°C outside. According to ASOS, the site has seen a 77 per cent increase in cardi sales compared to this time last year, while everyone from Zara to Hobbs is stocking them, too. Go for an embroidered design like Zara’s for vintage-vibes, or try Mango’s sleeker style for a modern update. Hair rollers optional.…

Once in a while, a trend appears on the runway, trickles down to the fash pack, then cements itself on the high street. Remember Prada’s peacock show? The AW17 collection complete with feather trimming on hoodies and jeans, which subsequently every street styler bought into? The A-list are also at it, with mighty RiRi opting to wear Prada’s peach two-piece (right) to a recent premiere. Such accounts for stages 1 and 2 of the feather trend transformation, and now it’s reached #3: the shops. Choose River Island’s cross-body bag for a toned-down approach to the look, or go full fluff in Topshop’s pink coat. Without feather ado, here’s the hottest pieces to buy, before they fly off the shelves……

Another day, another chance for us to scrutinise an area of ourselves and decide we hate it. We’ve all got areas of our bodies that we don’t love – why isn’t our waist more defined? Why does that left bum cheek wobble more than the right? Why do we have that bit of cellulite? And so on… A disturbing new study has revealed that only 29 per cent of us view our bodies in a positive way, while 55 per cent of respondents admitted to caring about their physical appearance way more than they should, mainly due to social media. This time of year is when we feel ‘comparisonitis’, as it’s been coined, more than any other time. That’s thanks to the end of summer and the millions of bikini…

1 Millie Mackintosh didn’t seem to mind jetting off to Dubai to surprise Hugo Taylor, despite him regularly visiting with ex-girlfriend Natalie Joel. Then again, Mills did enjoy a mini-break in Paris with Hugo, although she’d gotten engaged to Professor Green in the same city in 2013 . 2 Louise Thompson of Made In Chelsea enjoyed a romantic getaway to Marbella with boyfriend Ryan Libbey last year, even though she had previously holidayed there with ex Andy Jordan in 2013 . 3 Perrie Edwards surprised ex-fiancé Zayn Malik with a trip to Disneyland Paris, and there were reports they might marry there. Yet Perrie has since revisited Paris with new boyfriend Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, with the pair enjoying a break together before Valentine’s Day this year.…

SUGARCOATS Definition of sugarcoat: to accentuate or embellish the positive. The positive in this scenario? Your wardrobe. From parkas to puffas, you have our word these will make you look infinitely more stylish. TOP OF THE SHOPS The age-old ‘nice top and jeans’ combo is having a major moment RN and there’s a bounty of babin’ tees, vests and blouses to choose from while you’re picking up a pint of milk.

Its latest shoe drop is too good to be true – and they’re all under £ 25! MORRISONS’ STAR STEAL Victoria Beckham, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and…

Styling up a living room to fully embrace the too-cool Scandinavian trend is basically our idea of #interiorgoals, and Look influencer Lilah Parsons is just as excited about the new Elements range from Dunelm as we are. Incorporating modern prints and a fresh, contemporary aesthetic, Elements will elevate your lounge status from ‘simple’ to ‘Scandi’ with just a few key pieces. Lilah spoke to us about how she likes to dress her own living room (because let’s face it, the girl has an eye for style), and reveals her favourite buys from the collection… How would you describe your interior style, Lilah? Clean, light, verging on minimalist – yet fighting the clutter! I really like retro pieces mixed with a modern environment, and the Elements collection has such a great…

What makes us happier than nesting in front of Netflix with a packet of Oreos? New clothes and accessories we don’t have to eBay all our belongings for, of course. There’s no avoiding Instagram as a shopping haunt when the #OOTD looks are so dreamy, but the outfits racking up all the likes will have ‘sold out’ plastered all over them by the time you work out where they’re from. Luckily, your fashion fairies (us) are here to help you get in there before they go... NOBODY’S CHILD’S MEGA MIDI We love it when one buy can give us a lifetime of happiness (and outfits), and this is how we foresee the future with this floral midi. Be warned: there’s a matching top, too. NASTY GAL’S MIRACLE M A X…

“Her splits from Calvin and Tom will feature on the album” If you hadn’t noticed, Taylor Swift is doing her best to ‘kill off ’ her nice-girl image. After a social media hiatus of nearly a year, she wiped her accounts before launching a shock return with the announcement of new album Reputation (coming 10 November) and new single Look What You Made Me Do. It’s all bit different for Taylor, right? We’re confused and we’re guessing you are, too. But, according to a source speaking exclusively to Look, Taylor is fine – she’s just putting into action a cunning plan to make sure her comeback is as big as it can be. ‘Taylor’s behaviour is publicity wizardry,’ explains our source. ‘Wiping her social media accounts and adding hidden, unavailable…
