The pre-wedding debate of who should walk her down the aisle did overshadow much of Meg’ s prep. That’s despite it being a relatively archaic idea. Do you think the idea of being given away is out of date? ‘I’m glad I did it alone’ Says Candice, 30, from Wakefield ‘I chose to walk down the aisle by myself. My dad had offered, but he doesn’t own me. I do everything my way anyway and it seems silly to get someone to hand you over when I’ve already been with my fiancée, Ben, for six years. It felt like an old tradition and I was proud to just walk up alone and have all the attention on me and my dress.’ ‘It’s not for me’ Says Look’s…

With her recent BAFTA win, an incredibly romantic proposal and the fact that she is set to grace our screens once again as host of Love Island in mere days, it would seem Caroline Flack is unstoppable right now. However, she’s adding yet another string to her rather impressive bow: a fashion collection with none other than River Island. We caught up with the presenter and all-round wonder woman to talk wedding plans, holiday tans, TV’s top talent and what really makes her feel confident... Hey Caroline, You’re having a pretty good few months with your BAFTA win, engagement and new River Island collection. What’s your favourite piece from the range? Thank you!

The words ‘IKEA shop’ could fill you with either 1) dread at the thought of yet another in-store argument with your S.O. or 2) happy thoughts of getting those candles you’ve been eyeing up on Pinterest for the past three months. Either way, you’ll be prepared to make the trip ASAP, once you see the Scandi interior giant’s latest arm candy. Although you wouldn’t usually associate the home heavyweight with bags (that is, other than its iconic blue shopper), it turns out influencers have made styling IKEA’s new-in section their latest sartorial endeavour. Meet the Flådis basket; the bedroom-storage saviour-turned-handbag that we’ve spotted on a host of savvy women. Needless to say, the basket bag trend is still going strong, and now that such a frugal option has come to…

1. What motivates you each day? I think it’s the fact that people are using our product [Peanut, a social app to connect mothers]to make their lives and their experience of motherhood better. 2. What was your dream growing up? I always wanted to be a ballet dancer or a lawyer. I grew up in the era of Ally McBeal and I loved her. I did become a lawyer, and the reality is very different! The older I got, the more I realised that there’s just so much more out there. 3. Who is your inspiration right now? Definitely my little boy, Fin. Growing up, I had a really big fear of failing; no one ever told me it could be a good thing and as a result I became…

DJ HRH Couldn’t make the big day? Then invest in the official Royal Wedding Album (£9.99), a recording of Harry and Meghan’s nuptials. Although what we all really want to know is which songs Harry threw shapes to at the reception. POSH NEEDS A PA VB is currently recruiting an assistant, required to manage the likes of ‘global travel’, ‘expenses’, but requiring ‘a high level of discretion’ at all times. While we imagine it’s a pretty demanding job, who wouldn’t want a peek at the Beckhams’ credit-card bill? BORN TO BE MILD The special Stranger Things Monopoly has us completely obsessed. Apparently millennials don’t go out any more, according to recent studies. Well, that’s because we’re at home playing games like this. Joy. £29.99, Forbidden Planet FEEL-GOOD FASHION Sometimes a…

‘At a recent event, Kim Kardashian’s make-up artist, Mario Devanovic, declared that he didn’t believe in primers and hadn’t used one in his entire career. This got me thinking about my love/hate relationship with them. As a beauty obsessive, I’ve put every kind of primer on my face and I’m still yet to find ‘the one’. Sure, I’ve had a few flings with some shimmery options, but I’ve never felt like they deserved a permanent place in my make-up bag. So, if Mario is also unconvinced, I dare ask, is there actually any point in buying one? ‘Primers ensure you have a protective barrier between your skin and makeup,’ says Bobbi Brown’s pro artist, Amy Conway. ‘It prevents oil from making your base slip and stops our face from ‘drinking’…

‘MY FEET HAVE BECOME THE PLACE THAT I CAN LET MY FASHION FLAG FLY’ A few weeks back, I told the tale of my identity crisis, during which I completely stripped my wardrobe back to basics. And I mean basic in the purest sense. I cast aside anything that could be deemed ‘too trendy’ and instead focused my efforts on timeless essentials in a palette of earthy tones, khaki, creams, blacks, denim and the odd bit of red and yellow thrown in for interesting measure. But there’s one item that breaks all my style guidelines: shoes. Oh, shoes… My obsession with them came into play when my self-confidence was at an all-time low. I was by no means overweight, but I had not long moved away from home and found…

ALL EARS Listen up, you’re about to get the 411. We all love a bit of M&S for a well-overdue lingerie addition, or (multiple bags of) Percy Pigs, but now it’s all about its next-level bauble earrings. Here to adorn your ears with every summer look going, these showstoppers are guaranteed to make any ensemble look expertly curated. Note: get two or three pairs and mix and match – it’ll save you having to play eeny, meeny, miney, mo. MINI ME Designers such as Chanel put bags so micro on the SS18 catwalk, they looked like they were made for kids. But what if we were to tell you some actually are? Zara is known for a great bag, but it’s the 5-14-year-old girl section that’s upping the stakes. Statement,…
