We are a nation of fashion lovers, always searching for the latest trends and styles. But as many of us take steps towards a more eco-friendly lifestyle, there is a growing appetite for a more sustainable wardrobe. And we’re not the only ones. The Princess of Wales recently wore a bright green, off-the-shoulder gown by Solace London. The £350 dress was rented from the Hurr collective, a clothing platform that offers designer dresses on loan for a fraction of the original price. According to Hurr, by opting to rent her gown instead of purchasing new, Kate saved the carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) of travelling 1,231 miles in a car or six trees being cut down. It seems small changes can make a big difference. And it’s needed – around 80…

V-NECK KNITWEAR When shopping for fuller-bust friendly knitwear it’s important to consider fabrics and necklines. A soft, light knit will fall nicely over curves and is more flattering than a stiff, boxy crew neck. The deeper the V-neck the better, which is why cardigans are great as you can undo buttons at both ends to fit and flatter your shape. BELTED JACKETS If you find that jackets look a little boxy on your frame, try a belted style. Nipping you in at your waist, the tie creates a flattering hourglass silhouette. Lighter designs can be worn under a coat for an extra layer of warmth during colder months and then will become the perfect cover-up when spring and summer arrive. JEANS From skinny to straight, wide leg to boyfriend, there’s…

I can finally run around with my children, I can finally shop in the high street and I’m no longer afraid of the camera. In fact, I’m standing proudly in front of it. Losing 12st – 50% of my body weight – has been life-changing, and it hasn’t been easy. But when I realised that losing weight could save my life, I had to take action.

Switch up your colour Changing your hair colour can be daunting, but according to Live True hair stylist Tyler Moore, ‘If you’re scared to try a new hair colour, start with baby steps and opt for just a few shades lighter or darker than your natural hair. This can then be built upon later to get different looks.’ Try Clairol Nice’n Easy Crème Oil Infused Permanent Hair Dye, £6.99, Boots. For a change without the commitment, use a wash-out colour like Wella Professionals Color Fresh Semi-Permanent Mask, £15.75, lookfantastic.com.

‘MY SCAR COULD’VE COST ME MY CAREER’ Sophie Hughes, 32, is a curve model who lives in Wilmslow, Cheshire, and supports children’s charity childliverdisease.org. As a model, imperfections such as scars can be the difference between staying in steady work and never being hired again. But every time I see the seven-inch scar across my abdomen, I’m reminded that life is so much more than my career. When my nephew Oscar was born in 2015, he was quickly diagnosed with biliary atresia, a condition where the bile ducts outside and inside the liver are scarred and blocked. By the time he was just six weeks old, we knew that he needed a liver transplant. Lots of the family raised their hands to see if they were a match, and the…

10 WAYS TO REFRESH YOUR HALLWAY 1 Change the bulbs Nothing creates a colder look than cool, white lighting. Next time your bulbs burn out, make the switch to a warm style with an almost-amber glow. For light fittings with exposed bulbs, buy Edison light bulbs for a vintage look. 2 Paint it black Perfect for disguising scuffs and scratches from the medley of bags and bikes that burst through the front door, darker shades also have a cocooning effect, transforming a big stretch of stairway into a snug-like space. 3 Ditch the clutter Everyone tends to throw off their coats and shoes at the door, leaving a heaving coat rack and a pile of mess. If you have an understairs cupboard, convert it into extra storage…

Cathy was starting to feel a little frantic. She’d hurried back from the hair salon where she worked and had just an hour before Mike came home. She wanted everything perfect for their anniversary dinner. The roast lamb was safely in the oven and she’d chosen the red wine, but she still needed to beat the cream for the apple tart and then change into her black lace minidress, one of Mike’s favourites. She felt Mike needed a little spoiling. He’d been so stressed lately, organising a huge promotion for the opening of a new chain of hotels, which needed him to work with his team until nine or even 10pm some nights. Cathy understood that this was why he’d been so distant and short-tempered with her lately, although she…

Ruth Langsford has always been open about the fact that since hitting the menopause, she has struggled with her weight, admitting, ‘The menopause changed my shape, I’m generally just bigger.’ While she’s slowly learnt to embrace her new shape, confessing, ‘There has to be an element of acceptance,’ it seems Ruth, 62, hasn’t completely given up on her diet and exercise regime. She explained, ‘These days I put on weight much more easily. I’ve a slightly underactive thyroid that’s not medicated, which makes it harder. I’m not ready to say, “To hell with it, I’m going to eat and drink what I want, and who cares what size I am?”’ Instead, Ruth has been focusing on a new health kick.

Heartiest thanks to Davina for those inspiring words. And, ahem… haven’t I been prodding you all year to eat less sugar? Seriously, if you can replace sugary foods with more protein and good-quality complex carbs (oats, wholegrain bread and pasta and sweet potatoes) then your body will be hugely grateful. You’ll have more energy, better sleep and your mood will be calmer. Menopausal symptoms may fade too – a high sugar intake is a cracking way to increase hormone turbulence. Hand in hand with a better diet comes strength training. Resistance kit like weights and bands will help place a demand on your muscles, and you’ll slowly change shape. Do these five moves two to four times a week, adding brisk walking on other days. That, along with improved nutrition,…

Guest columnist WHAT’S NEXT FOR THE ROYAL FAMILY? While Prince Harry has been publicly promoting the newest set of grenades aimed at the Firm, via his book, the rest of the royals will be hoping this is the last from the Sussexes for a while. As the new year begins with no truce in sight, King Charles will be likely looking at his slimmed-down monarchy and working out how he can ensure its future. There’s no doubt that the incendiary claims made against the institution have rocked it to the core, and there is surely a question mark over how it can bounce back, coupled with the problem of what to do with Prince Andrew, who is grounded with no hope of returning to royal work. While we are all…

WOMAN’S GP DR PHILIPPA KAYE ON HER TOPIC OF THE WEEK Have you ever noticed your fingers or toes go white or become painful in the cold weather? Perhaps it affects just the tips and the colour difference is really noticeable? You may have a condition called Raynaud’s phenomenon or disease, which is thought to affect about one in 20 people. In Raynaud’s, there is a narrowing of the blood vessels to the extremities, generally your fingers and toes, but it can affect other places, such as the nipples. It’s more common in women than in men and most often occurs on exposure to the cold, but can also be due to stress. Classically there are three stages: 1WHITE The fingers/toes first turn white and cold. 2BLUE They may then…

Columnist FROM CALIFORNIA TO THE COBBLES He’s lived in Minnesota, New York and, for a long time, California, but Bob Dylan has revealed that now, in his 80s, it’s Coronation Street that makes him feel ‘at home’. The world-famous star says that when he’s on his own, he enjoys catching up with the fictional folk of Weatherfield. So much so, in fact, that he’s been binge-watching the ITV soap from his house in Malibu. In a chat with The Wall Street Journal, the 81-year-old singer-songwriter revealed, ‘I recently binged Coronation Street, Father Brown and some early Twilight Zones. I know they’re old-fashioned, but they make me feel at home.’ But why would the cobbles of north-west England hold such a special place in his heart? Well, the answer is, of…
