Before I go any further, I just want to get one thing straight: I love my job. Sure, it’s difficult at times but, no matter how stressed I get, I never let myself forget how fortunate I am not to completely dread getting up in the morning and making the hour-long schlep to the office. Still, every now and then, it can be monotonous – I often feel like all I write about is shoes and sales. Which brings me to my next point: shoes and sales. Indeed, with party season upon us, it’s time to put your best foot forward in some seriously fancy footwear. Whether you’re a ballet flat or a brazen boot kinda’ girl, you’ll find the pick of the well-heeled crop on p58. Naturally, along with…

“Taylor has had it coming at her from all sides for months” She might have sold over 700,000 copies in 24 hours, but it looks as though Taylor Swift is far from popular in Tinseltown right now. According to a close friend, since Tay’s album dropped earlier this month, she’s been under ‘constant backlash’. So much so, that we’ve heard Taylor’s friends have even stepped in to have a word with the star, who’s said to be ‘alienating herself ’ from the entertainment industry. She’s reportedly been keen to stay away from ex-boyfriend Tom Hiddleston too, who’s said to have reached out to 27-year-old Taylor to make amends. Oh Tay, you OK hun? We’re big fans of the new album, but we’re not surprised it’s caused a rift – and…

Recent advancements have taken this potent antioxidant to new levels. Usually found in the dermatologist’s chair, vitamin C is now available in off-the-shelf skincare. While the instant radiance can be addictive, overdosing can irritate the skin, so be sure to use sparingly… SUPERDRUG VITAMIN C DETOX SKINCARE INVIGORATING SKIN BOOSTER, £4.99 This lightweight serum is enriched with Kakadu plum – one of the world’s richest sources of vitamin C. Add a few drops to your moisturiser for all-day protection.

Pureology’s Clean Volume Weightless Mousse, £16.50, nourishes and holds every hair so your ’do looks soft and stands the test of time – no crispy strands in sight. 2 FLIP IT OVER Apply your products, turn your head upside down and blast with a dryer – we love Nicky Clarke SuperShine 2200W AC Salon Professional Dryer, £54.99 – your hair will be instantly fuller.

Its streamline design allows you to build body without causing damage. Genius. 4 COVERT CRIMPING You can use your…

“It’s so important to be happy while you’re working” Maya Jama. Recognise that name? You should. The TV and radio presenter is a force to be reckoned with at the moment. In fact, we have a confession: we’re a teeny bit obsessed with her. If she’s not presenting on BBC Radio 1, she’s on the telly co-hosting ITV2’s Cannonball, and now, she’s started When Life Gives You Melons, a fab new podcast with lingerie and swimwear brand Freya. As Maya admits: ‘It’s all happening at once.’ And we don’t know how the Bristol-born babe gets a second to herself. Sitting down with the mega-busy 23-year-old to chat all things podcast (the eight-part series is basically like listening in on a girlie catch up, features celeb guests each week and covers…

Crown Jewels Add a diamanté buckle to your shoes and you’re looking at this season’s most glamorous style. They look exactly like Prada, except you won’t need to take out a loan for this lot.

Benefit Roller Lash Mascara, £20.50 At the moment I’m loving this mega wand from Benefit. It gives me great length, a little curl and bold individual lashes without leaving too much product. It’s my go-to for super-fluttery, look-at-me lashes! @sabrina_chakici IT Cosmetics Superhero Mascara, £19 Every time I wear this mascara I get serious compliments. It fans out lashes, gives mega volume and doesn’t smudge or flake. It’s like my lashes but 10 x better. Once you’ve tried it, you won’t go back. @chloeburcham Illamasqua Masquara, £20 The bristles on this brush are tiny, but there are lots of them, which ensures an even coat. The formula is highly pigmented and never ever smudges, making it a godsend when I apply on my morning commute. @perditanouril No7 Lash Impact Ultra…

“BAUBLES DON’T HAVE TO GO ON THE TREE. USE THEM TO CREATE A BESPOKE FESTIVE FEATURE” This Christmas we’re taking a break from tradition and trying out the oh-so-stylish, Nordic-inspired trend across our festive interiors. Look influencer Lilah Parsons shows us how to embrace a cooler colour palette, together with luxe soft furnishings, alpine accents and frosted ornaments, all courtesy of Dunelm. All that’s left to make the perfect Christmas is the snow... What is it you like about Dunelm’s festive ranges? The Winter Warm collection appeals to me because it’s all about being chic and cosy, yet effortlessly understated. Layered together, these knitted and faux fur pieces really look like a Narnia-esque fantasy. Christmas decorations are often in bright reds and greens, which can be quite garish. Paring it…

 It was only a few weeks ago that Look was chatting to Mark Wright about his current living situation. Now working in LA while wife Michelle is filming on the other side of the world, he told us, ‘England will always be home’. “Michelle is said to be feeling under pressure right now” Something we imagine is music to Michelle’s ears. According to our insider, Michelle is firmly rooted at home, and if Mark is offered more work stateside? Well, they’ll cross that bridge when they come to it. But while living apart is said to be a temporary measure for the pair, a series of events has complicated the situation further – and Michelle’s thrown herself into work to move through it. According to a source speaking exclusively to…

It’s a trend that exudes confidence, makes you feel like a boss and can pull any outfit together in 0.2 seconds. It’s the trophy jacket. The look made its mark on the AW17 runways when Balmain sent its own incarnations down the catwalk, but now the high street has a selection we can actually afford. Bolder is better – think all-over sequins and OTT embroidery – and, in terms of styling, trust us when we say it goes with literally everything. Team with jeans for daytime or a shift dress or mini skirt after dark. Winning. See what we did there? Winning? Trophy? We’ll stop now……

There’s nothing we like more about autumn than new clothes… and shoes and bags and…you get the point. But, sometimes the new collections dropping in store and online are so good they save us from that ‘I’ve literally nothing to wear’ moment, and thanks to Lost Ink, we’ll never have to worry again. Some of you may already have their swag saved in your virtual baskets (given the fact they’re stocked on ASOS, Very and Zalando, we reckon this is highly likely), but now it’s time to give them your full attention. Lost Ink is ticking off the biggest trends one-by-one with vinyl frocks, satin separates and faux fur cover-ups just made for party season. The effortless details like embroidery, ruffles and embellishments make these your new 24/7 wardrobe multi-taskers.…

Is it us, or is Jennifer Lawrence mega chirpy at the mo? If she’s not getting drunk and ‘butt naked’ in Kris Jenner’s closet (as Kim Kardashian West revealed a couple of weeks ago), she’s cosying up to Emma Stone on the red carpet. But with the awards season on the horizon, (and all the Hollywood crew set to be out and about), a source speaking to Look has revealed it could be intentional. According to a pal, Jen is actually on ‘the charm offensive’ with fellow A-listers. In fact, she’s said to be doing all she can to repair what she views as past mistakes. “She messed up and wants to put things right” ‘Jen shot to the top of the fame ladder really quickly,’ explains an insider. ‘It…

It’s time to channel your inner Elle Woods and embrace everything that’s pink, faux fur and frigging fabulous. Not a fan of millennial pink? Well, you can count on the fact that you most certainly will be once you see this edit. We’re firm fans of fluffy coats and accessories for autumn/ winter. Not only will they keep us toasty against the impending chill, we’ll also feel a million dollars in these sugary buys. The way to wear is not to be mistaken for Legally Blonde, though – it’s all about making these faux-fur numbers work with your current wardrobe. Team with complementary shades like red and maroon, and add vinyl and leather separates to offset the girlie vibe. Taking style inspo from candyfloss has never looked so good!…

PROS 1 It’s the most romantic time of the year. Who wouldn’t want to sip mulled wine with a mate? Plus, snuggling up with someone significantly boosts endorphins. 2 There’s a huge surge in singles searching for love over the festive period. Party season always brings about a partnering mentality so you’re more likely to meet someone in the lead up to the holidays. 3 You’ll prevent a barrage of questions from friends and family about being single (always a plus point). CONS 1 It can be a conscious effort to fill a void, perhaps to replace a previous relationship. Do a self-check and be honest with yourself. 2 The holiday season can be a trying time. There’s a huge amount of pressure to have the most perfect time and…

‘My winter wish list always starts with a new hot water bottle and the softest blanket I can find.’HARRIET DAVEY, DEPUTY FASHION NEWS EDITOR Just as nature intended, November is all about getting cosy, comfy and calm as we head into the hibernation period. And while you may not have the luxury of literally sleeping the whole winter away, that doesn’t mean you can’t make the ultimate Zen space of your dreams a reality. We’re talking wrapping up in chunky knitted blankets, snuggling into a stack of soft, fluffy cushions, or warming your hands with a mug of hot cocoa. Yep, staying in is officially in!…

What’s the story? Brad and Dusty are now the best of friends, co-parenting their kids and stepkids as one big happy family. But then their own dads decide to pay a visit – the effortlessly cool Kurt Mayron, Dusty’s dad, and Brad’s overly excited and happy father, Jonah Whitaker. Get ready for another dosage of daddy carnage! Who’s in it? Will Ferrell is back as goofy stepdad Brad, and Mark Wahlberg as Brad’s wife’s ex, Dusty. Mel Gibson joins the cast as Dusty’s dad Kurt and John Lithgow as Brad’s dad Jonah. Linda Cardellini and John Cena also return. Why should I care? It’s hilarious from start to finish and will leave you with a big grin on your face. Who doesn’t enjoy a bit of Will Ferrell at Christmas…
