What have you been wearing for the last few weeks? Chances are, your 2018 wardrobe thus far has consisted of two pairs of jeans worn on rotation with various jumpers. As for nights out? The same jeans with a slightly fancier top? Thought so. However, you can take comfort in the fact that all of us at Look HQ are stuck in the same sartorial rut, too. But, now that February is upon us, we’re starting to feel the first effects of spring’s rejuvenation process – and evidently, so is the high street. Transporting us to a forgotten time, the fresh collections are cutting through the coats and boots and woollies of days gone by, with fanciful frocks, beautiful separates and stunning accessories. What of the shoes, I hear you…

Norway has been dubbed one of the happiest countries in the world, and with the northern lights, sleek homeware and effortless Scandinavian fash, we can see why. But we never thought Oslo Fashion Week would rival the four major cities – how wrong we were. The hottest trends for AW18, from the catwalk to the FROW, may have been on offer, but we’ve found pieces you can try (and wear) now... Skirting Around You know those ’90s trousers with skirt attached? Well, they’re back (kind of). Layering a leather pencil over trews is the new dress over jeans. Belt Up Meet the bumbag’s chicer sister – the belt bag. When you spot it on andoff the catwalk, you know it’s a thing. Checkmate Prince of Wales and heritage checks have…

Just when we thought the day would never arrive, David Beckham has finally launched his Major League Soccer team in Miami. It’s been a long time coming (almost four years), but in the words of Jay-Z, we can finally say, ‘Congratulations, DB’. But while the family are ecstatic for David, 42, a source speaking exclusively to Look has revealed that it could result in some big changes for the whole clan. ‘Victoria is 100% supportive of David, but she’s worried about the upheaval it could bring to the family,’ explains a friend. ‘She’s concerned because they already struggle with all their various commitments. On one hand she’s worried it could plunge her marriage with David into more stress – and then there’s the kids, who are already so settled.’ While…

If you’ve been keeping up with Look for the past year, you might’ve heard of Aeyde. It’s the brand born in Berlin back in 2015 that we uncovered last summer when everyone on Instagram started wearing it. Since then, it’s gained 1) more than 10k Instagram followers 2) a load of new designs and 3) support from the entire Look team. Admittedly, with prices starting at £150, it’s not the most affordable, but with everyone from Lucy Williams to street-style star Leandra Medine wearing it, and luxury materials forming clean shapes that could pass for Céline, it’s worth the whack. Add the fact each creation works for almost any occasion, and that’s more than enough justification. Fill your shoes, ladies.…

V Nice Céline made V-neck shoes a thing on the catwalk, but now they’re all over the high street for a fraction of the price. THE REEBOK ROUNDS If we’re going to take trainer advice from anyone, it’s got to be Gigi. She probably owns the whole of Foot Locker, but apparently there’s only one pair worth wearing: Reebok Classics. You’ll kick yourself if you don’t buy a pair (see what we did there? Kick…Kicks…). CATNAP All those in favour of cat-eye sunnies, say I. The classic style has been around for a while now, but this time they’re back and even more extreme than before. Meow. THE KENSINGTON CULT The whole world and his dog owns an original Kurt Geiger Kensington bag, but now there’s a bunch of fresh…

“ Rihanna and Hassan are planning a life together ” It’s not surprising that Rihanna is keeping her relationship with Hassan Jameel on the DL. Ri knows – perhaps more than most celebs – how difficult it can be to sustain a high-profile romance. And while their secretive approach seems to be working wonders (we’ve heard the couple are besotted with each other), it seems sneaking around isn’t the only key to their success. According to an insider speaking exclusively to Look, Hassan has a totally different attitude towards their relationship than anything the singer has experienced before. ‘Rihanna is enjoying the most equal relationship of her life,’ says a friend.‘He treats her like a queen, with so much respect, and Rihanna says he’s a total feminist as well as…

In need of a colour change, but confused about shades? Sick of treatments that don’t work? Whatever your hair ’mare, some inspiring, innovative launches are now heading your way... A SMART SYSTEM Be honest,we spend way too much time ogling beauty products in Boots, but would you be surprised to hear that the aisle we spend the least amount of time in is the hair colour section? Probably not. Is a box colour actually going to make our hair a ‘rich chocolate’ hue, or will we just end up with a boring brown? No wonder it takes us a while to ponder before we purchase. Well, finally someone has come to the rescue. Hair colour king Josh Wood, stylist of the rich and famous, realised everyone has different needs and…

There are two types of emails that get our full attention: 1) free cake/cookie announcements and 2) new high street collection previews. This is where H&M Studio spring/summer ’18 stole our hearts, and will no doubt soon drain our bank accounts, too. Indeed, we look forward to the Studio collections every single season, so when the latest drop landed in our inbox, we were so excited we could hardly contain ourselves. Safe to say, it didn’t disappoint. With a palette of primary colours popping up on soft suedes and chic chiffons, and could-be-designer stitch and stud details completing the looks, we’ve never willed away our wages so much. Clear your diaries, people – 28 February is where it’s at ……

Sara says: Practise these steps in advance so you’re not caught off-guard. Run the situation as if it’s a movie in your mind, hear what you’d say in a perfect scenario and note how good you feel when it goes well. Your brain will remember what you’ve rehearsed and you’ll be able to cope better in the moment. • Smile & Breathe A smile and deep breath keeps you calmer and also buys you time to think what you’re going to say. • Stay Neutral Even if they’ve upset you, rise above it. You don’t have to forgive them, just ‘do the right thing’. Ask them a question about themselves – ‘How are you?’ – it takes the focus off you and gives you time to calm down. • Don’t…

SPECKLED LIPS Bored of your standard slick of lipstick? It’s time to try the dappled effect.

RIP Trainer Socks Come summer, everyone will apparently be wearing the new trainer/sock combo. Ash has just launched its range, and Kurt Geiger is hot on its toes. Fash madness? Maybe… but we kind of love it. David’s Beard DB has released a luxe grooming collection, House 99, available at Harvey Nichols. The name is inspired by the year 1999, when Brooklyn was born and when he married Vic. FYI, we’ve heard David’s hero product is the beard oil – he does do beards well. 90% of … A recent survey from Saucydates.com has revealed that 90 per cent of the 20,000 people asked admitted they’d had sex at work. REALLY? We’re not so sure about that stat. How does anyone get anything done? Mile High Club Virgin Atlantic’s new…

If, like us, you spend copious amounts of your day frantically scrolling Instagram in search of adorable dog snaps, you’ve happened upon the right page. As we usher in the Chinese New Year on 16 February, according to the ancient Chinese zodiac, we in turn enter the Year of the Dog. This is excellent news for lots of reasons, but namely this: Gucci has created a collection to celebrate, which includes lavish pieces featuring various breeds of our four-legged friends. From St Bernards and Great Danes to Collies and Pomeranians, it’s the perfect puppy party. And while we’d never choose one pooch over another (if we had it our way, we’d take the lot home with us tonight), we do have a serious soft spot for the proud Pekingese (just…

We can all agree: mascara is a must. But finding the right one for you is as personal as how you take your tea in the morning. Do you like thick and fluffy lashes, or are you after XX-Length?

As I walk into Reebok’s plush offices in Soho, west London, a PR ushers me into a lift and quickly pre-warns me that Binky has brought along seven-month-old daughter, India. If there’s one thing better than spending your Monday morning interviewing the former MIC star about all things fitness, family and fashion, it’s meeting baby India too. I can confirm she is – as all of Binky’s Instagram stories suggest – a total cutie (and the absolute image of her mamma, too). Binky looks incredible, partly because she’s fitter than before she had India – she has a personal trainer, Tyrone Brennand – but it’s not just that. She’s content. Is it because she’s no longer involved in Made In Chelsea’s drama? Maybe, although it doesn’t stop her missing the…
