First things first, let’s explain what a resort collection is. Also known as 'cruise’, it’s the name given to the pre-collections that arrive earlier than the major spring/summer or autumn/winter ranges, and used to be the preserve of catwalk designers – until now. Seeing how successful these in-between drops are for the big names, the high street is following suit, with transitional capsule collections appearing among the party-season glitz and winter coats. Following on from the pre-AW15 collections showcased by a few high-street stores, resort is taking off, with even more shops getting in on the action. From Topshop Unique, Whistles and Banana Republic to Zara and Warehouse, the rails of our wardrobe regulars are filling up fast with pieces that you’ll wear now and right through 2016. Here’s the…

‘I’ve just woken up,’ purrs Dita when we speak to her. But while the queen of burlesque may be surprisingly chilled, her performances have always been hot. Since storming onto the burlesque scene at just 20 years old, Dita Von Teese has garnered global attention for her risqué shows. She famously once performed in £3.5m worth of diamonds. And off stage, her sexy signature style has charmed designers from Jean Paul Gaultier to Vivienne Westwood, who she has modelled for in the past. Her motto? The more glamorous, the better. Dita,43, is a serious DIY diva, too – she dyes her own hair, designs her own lingerie and does her own make-up. So you can imagine how excited the Look office was when we heard she was releasing her ultimate…

Jody Findley, 30 , a backing singer from Wolverhampton, suffered serious burns when her plan to slim down quickly backfired ‘It’s not like I hate my body. I’m a healthy 10 st and a size 12 , but I’ve always struggled with a bit of a muffin top. When I heard about fat freezing, I was intrigued to say the least. Luckily however, I was working in a gym at the time and they offered staff the chance to try it. As lots of people had already had it done, I didn’t think about any of the risks and just went ahead with the procedure. While the treatment was being done, it didn’t feel strange, just like someone was vacuuming my stomach. Afterwards, I felt a tingling sensation, but I…

A-LIST-ESQUE CLUTCH When it comes to party bags, they don’t come much more statement than this monochrome ostrich clutch. Sure, Emma Roberts’ Kotur lovely may have set her back a cool £ 550 , but we’ll be channelling the look with this Coast doppelgänger. Coast £75 Steal Olivia’s Neck Candy The easiest way to get through all those desk-to-bar jaunts is to invest in a killer necklace that you can don at a moment’s notice. Instead of the usual jewel clusters, we’re taking style tips from Ms Palermo and snapping up her exact £45 wonder choker, complete with a raw crystal drop. Work it with an off-the-shoulder top just like the fashionista herself for a subtly sexy vibe. 80S LAMÉ IS BACK Nothing gets us in the party mood quite…

OVERSIZED? COUNT ME IN says Amy de Klerk, Junior Fashion News Assistant 'Although I love the look of a jumbo scarf, my petite frame means I’ll be sticking to an “ever-so slightly oversized” style so it doesn’t completely drown me. Zara’s one comes in four colours.’ TAKE IT UP A NOTCH says Sarah Barlow, Fashion Assistant 'I’m all about wrapping up in winter, so I’ll be taking my cue from the street-style set, who are currently crushing on super-chic mega scarves. Wind it around a couple of times for maximum impact.’ IT’S A WHOPPER! says Maxine Eggenberger, Senior Fashion News Writer 'If my eyes aren’t only just peering out over the top of my scarf, I’m not interested. This winter, the bigger, the better for me. Make sure yours is…

From Aquazzura’s tassel heels to Gucci’s metallic loafers, we’ve lost count of all the cult status shoes that have adorned the most stylish feet of late. However, the fash pack’s latest footwear fix has to be the most practical yet. Jimmy Choo celebrated its new collab with retro 80s brand Moon Boot by whisking stylistas including Aimee Song (of Song of Style fame) to the Swiss Alps, and flooding our Insta with pics in the process. Known for its ultra-bright padded booties designed to tackle icy terrain, they’re hardly the chic knee-highs we expect the fash pack to be rocking. But, thanks to a new look and luxe finishes, these sensible shoes just got way more covetable. But if you don’t have £475 to drop, Moon Boot’s affordable mainline range…

Malaika’s Killer Mini Prepare for a Topshop splurge next season – supermodel Malaika’s slip hits stores at the same time as Cheryl’s dress!

First Base... ‘I like MAC Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation,’ Dita says. ‘I use a small flat brush to dab it onto the corners of my nose, blemishes or anywhere else I need extra matte full coverage.’ A Bold Lip... ‘Red is unequal to any other shade of lipstick,’ says Dita. ‘I like deep berry tones in the winter. While for the evening, it’s the hot red of a racing car. Everything seems to brighten.’ Cat Eyes... Black liquid liner is a must for Dita’s signature flick. ‘Begin the outline by pointing your chin up and your eyes looking down,’ she says. ‘I begin on the inside corner and look outwards.’ For extra drama? ‘I love Diorshow New Look Mascara.’ The Mani... This 40 s-style manicure is when the base…

Paulinka Charlikowska, a 31 -year-old beautician from Blackpool, had her toes shortened last year ‘My feet have been big and ugly ever since I can remember. I often pretended they were a size seven instead of an eight, and squeezed them into smaller shoes so they’d look prettier. But that made them worse, and my toes started looking deformed. When I discovered I could have surgery to make my feet smaller, I became obsessed about wearing a pair of shoes for the Christmas parties. I researched online and got in touch with a doctor in London who was able to shorten four of my toes. It cost £4,500, but the fact that the procedure would only take an hour – 15 minutes per toe -– made it even more worthwhile.…

With party season fast approaching, finding the perfect frock has never been more important. And with that comes a pretty hefty checklist: it’s got to be a serious statement-maker, highlight your figure, be comfortable enough to dance the night away in, and often make for a stylish office-to-bar transition. The solution? Simply Be’s brand new party collection. Yep, the range has landed just in time to solve all your festive fashion woes, and we couldn’t be more in love. From long-sleeved bodycons to fringed midis and classic sequin designs, the line comes chock-full of enough glitz and glam to see you through the season. Above all, it’s the could-be-catwalk looks that have got us all excited. Take the beaded fringed number (right) – following the lead of designers such as…

Coloured Lace Nothing says 'wedding’ like lace. However, ensure you steer clear of cream or white (you don’t want to outshine the bride) and instead opt for a dress in on-trend berry tones like this Warehouse number. A belted blazer or long-line duster coat will help give it a grown-up feel. Florals & Faux Fur Give your look an on-trend update with furry accessories and festive floral prints. Want to stand out from the crowd? Go for bold jewel tones such as emerald green, scarlet red or sapphire blue. Trophy Trousers If you’re not a fan of showing off your legs, don’t worry – you can look just as good in trousers as you can in a dress. A pair of statement slacks and a got-to-have-it jacket are a match…

Meet The Team Lucy Felton Head Of Fashion Content Gemma Yates Fashion News Editor Chloe Jackson Fashion Editor Maxine Eggenberger Senior Fashion News Writer Hannah Banks-Walker Fashion News Writer Bridie Wilkins Junior Fashion News Assistant My New Shoe Secret I’ve just discovered Lost Ink – one of the latest labels to hit ASOS – and their seriously good footwear selection. These rose-gold sling-back flats are way more directional than you’d expect for the £ 38 price tag, and will work with pretty much everything in my wardrobe. Plus, they’ll see me right through to next season. I’d call that a pretty savvy investment.

A bottle of wine with your bestie, an impending deadline, or was it just a Netflix binge that went too far? Whatever is keeping you up all night, no one need know thanks to a new trick called light-lining. Yep, you heard it here first – light-lining just happens to be the go-to technique for make-up artists as it’s guaranteed to erase all signs of fatigue. And the best bit? It’s simple to recreate. All you need is an eyeliner (preferably lighter than your skin tone) with a metallic finish. You then trace the waterline of your eyes with the glossy-finish pencil, and not only will it neutralise any redness, but the light-reflecting formula will also make eyes appear bigger and brighter – AKA wide awake! Simply finish the rest…

Zizi: Hot New Couple Alert! Zayn Malik & Gigi Hadid he Victoria’s Secret Angel and ex- 1 D star? Yep, it’s an ‘It’ couple made in heaven. And Zayn, 22 , and Gigi, 20 , certainly haven’t tried to keeptheir romance out of the spotlight, as they’ve been seen enjoying two dinner dates in LA this week. Although the world went into a spin when pictures surfaced of them giggling in the back of a taxi afterJustin Bieber’s AMAs after-party, the pair’s connection goes further back. According to sources, sparks flew between Zayn and Gigi when they met at Kylie Jenner’s 18 th birthday party in August. Nothing happened, though, as Gigi was with Joe Jonas and Zayn had just split up with fiancée Perrie Edwards. But after Gigi announced…

From reducing toes to fit into party shoes, to fillers that help earlobes carry the weight of statement earrings, a whole host of unusual surgeries have come into fashion to create the ultimate festive look. A rising number of women are having what’s been dubbed as 'partytox’ – quick-fix surgery before a big event that can be done in a short time. And figures are set to peak in the next few weeks as festivities get underway. 'We see a rise in injectable treatments in the run-up to the party season, as they can help patients enhance their looks,’ says Mark Norfolk, clinical director at Transform. 'Quick-fix procedures are often bizarre and some have now become simply outrageous,’ adds consultant plastic surgeon Paul Banwell. 1 The 3 D Facelift This…

‘Often, patients take months to decide on having a procedure, but with these quick-fix treatments, they’re more likely to make the decision faster as it doesn’t impact so heavily on their day-to-day lives. If it sounds too good to be true, it usually is,’ says Mark Norfolk. ‘There are many non-surgical procedures that could be performed with ease within a lunch hour, but it’s vital that patients don’t trivialise these, or think that they’re easy,’ Paul Banwell explains. ‘All clinics need to endorse the concept of patient safety, especially as we approach the Christmas period when “fast” treatments become popular.’…

Lydia’s Coat Lavish Alice just well and truly reinvented the classic trench coat. Yep, in bold red and trimmed with tassels, Lydia’s cover-up is a trend-ticking take on the wardrobe staple.

Why not team Topshop’s playsuit with Céline-esque pointy loafers, tights and an oversized bouclé coat for a more laid-back vibe?…

Ah, December. ’Tis the season for the inevitable slew of festive parties. You’ve bought the outfit and a bottle of fizz, but you’re just not feeling confident in that killer new dress. We’ve all been there.

THE MORNING FIX Miranda Kerr swears by dandelion tea first thing to wake up her digestive system. 'I decided to drink dandelion, as opposed to coffee, as it actually tastes quite similar,’ she says. 'It’s a natural diuretic,’ adds Dr Storfer. 'It helps to shift water and reduce bloating.’ Drink two to three cups the day before to…
