Did you know that in some parts of the country, women effectively work for free for two hours every day?While Grazia changed the law to help end pay inequality, we still have a long way to go (see page 50). And the most exciting thing is you can help end it – today. It's about empowering ourselves – just one conversation could change what we earn (really! See page 75). And yes, we might no longer be in school, but the onset of September somehow still feels like a new beginning. Shopping bags have been piling up around the office (we're as addicted as you) and we have a bumper ‘back to cool' issue for you, from the hot new geek-chic accessories (page 32) to the happiest fasfion you'll ever…

Photos: Ashl ey Madi son TWO MEN OUTED as users of the infidelity dating site Ashley Madison last week killed themselves. We might never know for sure why they did: suicides are complicated, and resist simple explanations. But if their deaths were partly caused by the public humiliation and private pain of having their sex lives exposed, they wouldn’t be the first ones. In his book, So You’ve Been Publicly Shamed, Jon Ronson tells the story of two men who were named as ‘swingers’ by the News Of The World. Both took their lives when the stories were published. Before taking a moral position on which behaviours are ‘acceptable’, and which are not, it may be worth asking yourself: what have you done online that you wouldn’t want anyone to…

Photos: Getty Images, Shutterstock This year, you helped us change the law on salary transparency our Mind The Pay Gap campaign. But the fight for equal pay is far from over. Last week, new research found that on average female managers earn 22% less than their male counterparts for doing the same job And that's not all-your pay gap could be even wider if you live in certain parts of the UK. So, where are you on the Pay Gap Map? It’s now down to you to change the gender pay gap – see p.75 for more…

Photos: Suki Waterhouse/Instagram, Getty Images, Photoshot A WORD, IF I MIGHT, about that thing we’ve started doing in the direct aftermath of a painful break-up, where we post like fury on all available internet platforms in a transparent attempt to prove we ARE ABSOLUTELY FINE AND FURTHER MORE: KINDA FABULOUS YES WE ARE. The vigorously filtered, outrageously flattering bikini shot we whack on Facebook (commonly known as The Revenge Bikini). The squealing, leaping, running ’n’ jumping #girlsquad shot we post on Instagram to Show Life’s Way More Fun Without Him Actually. The flurry of heightened Twitter chat in which we engage, cos hey! We have sooooooo many people to talk to, it's not like we're missing that one stupid guy; it’s not like we're tweeting ’n’ tweeting ’n’ tweeting because…

1 DISCOVER DOPE The first Sundance-fêted US teen indie this week (see also Me And Earl…), Dope flips expectations of a story about black youths in LA’s mean streets. ‘It’s hard out here for a geek’ runs the tagline of this riotous comedy about overachievers unwittingly becoming drug dealers. In cinemas Friday 2 VISIT FESTIVAL NUMBER 6 Music and arts festival in the sublime surrounds of Welsh pottery spot, Portmeirion. Expect the quiet coastal town to spring fully into life when the legendary Grace Jones (above) takes the stage on Sunday.

BOY MEETS GIRL Unlike Jeffrey Tambor in Transparent, Eddie Redmayne in the (forthcoming) Danish Girl and even Hayley in Coronation Street (RIP), the transgender role of this sweet, dignified new sitcom is played by a transgender actress Rebecca Root, who makes her forebears feel very unmodern. For a rather old-fashioned sitcom, with traces of Gavin And Stacey, The Royle Family and a less-infuriating Miranda in its DNA, that’s no small triumph. Root plays Judy, a frank-talking 40-something who decides to be upfront about her transition from the first date when asked out by a younger man. The story brazenly wrong-foots its audience when Leo (Harry Hepple, another ace find) is completely cool about it. As they say goodbye in the rain with a first kiss that echoes Richard Curtis at…

1 NON-MOVER Gary Lineker News reaches CoL that the name Gary has fallen dramatically out of favour and will soon die out! So we herewith honour great Garys. At 1: Lineker, obviously. 2 NEW IN Shrek the sheep Hates being sheared, avoided the indignity for six years straight, ended up looking completely awesome. Other sheep may (should) follow Shrek’s style lead. 3 UP Gary Barlow quite apart from the fact that he begot many of CoL’s all-time most-loved songs, he looked like this in the early ’90s. We rest our case. 4 NON-MOVER Jodie Kidd Turned down a presenting job on the soon-to-be-revived Top Gear because she thought it’d be ‘all-consuming’. JK has a work-life balance to maintain, people! 5 UP Gary Oldman Sandy-haired, thespy-sexy, Sirius in Harry Potter. Poster-man…

Photos: Getty Images IF YOU SPEAK EMOTICON AS YOUR official second language (really, what says ready to party more succinctly than the flamenco-dancing lady?), you’ll be pleased to know that fashion’s gone bilingual, too. But it’s less about cartoonish clothing and more about tongue-in-chic accessories. Anya Hindmarch’s smiley bags, scarves and charms are happily flying out of stores, while über-blogger Chiara Ferragni’s shoe collection isn’t complete without stickered love hearts and winking faces. And Acne’s :| adorned sneaks, first launched for the S/S ’14 season, are still big sellers. Surely that calls for a thumbs up……

OUR PANEL JOSH NEWIS-SMITH Grazia’s junior fashion editor knows a winning A-list look when he sees it. Catch Josh on his fashion vlog, Joshington Post, every Friday on graziadaily .co.uk and YouTube. ANGELA BUTTOLPH Grazia’s editor -at-large has an eagle eye for a fashion faux pas as much as she does for an It bag – beware fashionistas! @AngelaButtolph GEMMA CHAN JOSH SAYS: ‘I find this approach from the Humans actress rather robotic, but what’s not to love about a cutesy dress and prim accessories? You can’t argue with this actress, currently in full bloom.’ ANGELA SAYS: ‘Perfection! Dolce & Gabbana and Gemma Chan are both pretty faultless, fashion-wise, in my book. A nice understated red-carpet look.’ YOU SAY: ‘The bold print on this above-the-knee dress makes Gemma stand out.…

Lauren wears: jacket, All Saints; jeans, ASOS; trainers, Nike pulling my hair out at points.’ Emily and Lauren were nearly captured early on, after their car was followed on their drive to Oxford. Luckily, Emily had an instinct they were being tracked and the pair made a run for it. At another point, they arrived in a village to find it papered with ‘wanted’ posters bearing their faces. But there were light-hearted moments, too. The friends earned themselves the nickname Champagne Fugitives, thanks to their expert blagging of hotel rooms, meals and wine. ‘Most nights we ended up in some very decent accommodation,’ says Emily. ‘But…

AREYOU PAID ENOUGH? How much does your boss earn? Does that colleague on the same level as you earn more or less than you do? For decades, what we earn has been something whispered about in the pub after work – if at all – but things are changing. Last month, a secret spreadsheet detailing the salaries of its employees circulated around Google Hq. According to Erica Baker, who created the document but now no longer works there, 5% of the company had filled in their salary details, causing upset among the firm’s bosses. According to Baker’s tweets, she was called in to see her manager who ‘wasn’t happy’ and nor were ‘higher up people’. The salaries appeared to imply gender inequality and enabled many employees to negotiate pay rises.…

What I’m watching LADY CHATTERLEY’S LOVER What is it? Among the most controversial texts of the 20th century, DH Lawrence's banned work gets a second screen makeover, with varying results.When Sir Clifford Chatterley (James Norton being highly unpleasant) is incapacitated duringWWI and left unable to perform his husbandly duties, he encourages Lady Constance (Holliday Grainger, in a succession of amazingheadwear) to take a lover elsewhere to produce a son and heir. Clifford has a toff in mind, but she's already got her eye on their moody gamekeeper, Oliver Mellors (Game Of Thrones' Richard Madden, a couple of protein shakes short of the full Poldark). What’s it got? A super-hot leading couple. Grainger looks like an unusual genetic compound of Lily Cole and Kate Winslet, Madden the brusque sort who brings…

Christian Honor opened a tiny cafe in the residential area of Muswell Hill in London in 2013. It was an inauspicious site: a former chocolate factory, squeezed in-between a school and some houses. Despite all this, Chriskitch, as the little place was called, became a great success in the community and beyond. It does things its own way: tea, coffee and cakes are served all day, but at lunch there are three salads, a main dish and a soup. At weekends you can sit down for brunch. But there’s no menu: what you see is what you get – very much in the style of that all-conquering gastronome Yotam Ottolenghi. And from the place that Honor describes as a ‘coffee-shop trattoria’ comes Chriskitch: Big Flavours From A Small Kitchen. I…

LETTER OF THE WEEK AMBITION, 2015-STYLE I couldn’t agree more with zoë Beaty’s ‘Is it the end of ambition – as we know it?’ (24 August). I come from a working-class background and had high aspirations growing up. I worked hard at school and university and landed my first proper job the day before I graduated. Within three years I got to where I wanted to be. But this was also the most miserable time of my life. I worked 16 hours a day and despite owning a car and a house by the age of 23, I had no time to enjoy the rewards. I missed out on key family events and this in turn put a real strain on my relationship. I recently handed in my notice and…

And they’re off… Cheryl Fernandez-Versini (wearing a Balmain print dress) led this year’s X Factor judges – minus Rita Ora – at the official launch for the new series. ‘She’s definitely happier than she was a year ago, much happier,’ Simon Cowell said of the star. THE WAIT IS (ALMOST) OVER! New emoji (emojis? emojii?) are under consideration by the Unicode Consortium, including a woman taking a selfie, a partner for the dancing woman and crossed fingers. The 38 new designs are released next summer, so is there time to add a mermaid? Please? DAVID BAILEY’S latest muse is, well, a bag. But not any bag: the arm candy in question is the Tod’s top-handle, in patent red, soft-sheen metallic or (our pick) goes-with-everything 1970s brown. It’s a bag so…

FOR KATE MOSS, the summer of 2015 has been blighted by persistent rumours that her four-year marriage to Jamie Hince is over. It’s undoubtedly been a tough few months, and while she’s stuck to her mantra of ‘never complain, never explain’, Kate has, at times, been pictured looking pretty miserable. So thank goodness the model has caring friends to swoop her up and whisk her away to exotic locations to distract her from her woes. Last week, the 41-year-old super was seen relaxing on-board a mate’s super-yacht in Portofino, Italy, on the latest leg of her marathon heartbreak holiday. ‘Kate’s been there with some fashion industry pals for the last few days,’ a source told Grazia . ‘She’s making the most of the fact [her 12-year-old daughter] Lila is still…

Photos: Rex Features, Xposure Photos, Splash News SOMETHING’S AFOOT with Lewis Hamilton. The once shy and retiring F1 racer has traded his pocket squares and fitted jackets for ripped jeans, baggy tees and gold chains. Suddenly, backwards caps have become a wardrobe staple, and friends tell Grazia that more than once he’s been heard referring to his ‘swag’. There is alarming talk of an R&B album. What could have effected such a change? Perhaps unsurprisingly, Lewis’s burgeoning relationship with Rihanna is said to have played a part in his ‘man-over’. According to one well-placed source, ‘Lewis has had a crush on Rihanna for years. To keep her attention, it seems he’s got a new bad-boy wardrobe, new tattoos and a whole new attitude. Normally, Lewis is quite self-assured with women,…

THE ROMANS REALLY DIG their fountains. They do not dig drunk Irish women bathing in them. Nor did my husband, when he had to haul a soaking wet and fully clothed me out of the centuries-old Fontana dei quattro Fiumi in Rome. As we hightailed it across the Piazza Navona, an irate carabinieri officer in hot pursuit, it occurred to me that, this time, I may have gone too far. I hadn’t set out to defile one of the Eternal City’s most treasured monuments. It was an impulsive move, the cumulative effect of too many Negronis over dinner, excitement at a weekend away and, frankly, a need to act out. My midnight dip wasn’t an isolated incident. For the past two years, I’ve been going through the rites of passage…

For Detective Sergeant Nicola Thorn (above) and undercover police officer Danni Brooke (top), the show wasn’t far from their everyday lives. Meeting nine years ago while working undercover for the Met, they have gone undercover at festivals to track down drug rings and even dressed up as schoolgirls to catch paedophiles.‘It’s a very male-dominated industry, so as two women of our stature [5ft and 5ft 2in, respectively] we bonded instantly,’ says Nicola. ‘We’ve fought various battles together, including street drugs, festival drugs, prostitution…’ Danni adds, ‘In covert, you have a specialist area. Mine was sex and drugs and I was put in a school uniform to act as a honey trap. It’s great to know that, when you catch someone, you’ve made an impact.’ She admits, though, that there were…

Rosie Marshall, 30, a teacher from Worthing: £30,128 ‘Teaching salaries are dependent on a pay scale (based on years in the profession and any additional responsibilities that are picked up within school). I have no worries discussing what I earn. Equally, my close friends and family know how hard I work and how often my “holidays” are filled with marking, planning and trying to feel human again. I feel I work much harder than my pay reflects; teaching is not a nine-to-five profession.' Anna Middleton, 28, a dental hygienist from London: £50,000 ‘I'm self-employed so I earn as much or as little as I want depending on how much I want to work. I'm paid by the hour (£32-£36p/h) or split the takings with the dental practice (usually between 30-40%).…

But researchers at the University of Surrey found that study participants who ate while they walked consumed more through out the day than those snacking while stationary. CAN YOU DRAW YOURSELF LESS STRESSED? First, we had the colouring-book craze – now comes Zentangle, a ‘mindful drawing’ therapy that’s sold over 20,000 books in the UK. ‘Tanglers', as participants are known, draw abstract patterns and say the repetitive, creative process calms the mind. ‘“Tangling” can help slow you down for a while,’ says Cary Cooper, professor of psychology and health at the University of Manchester. ‘But if your stress is more deep-rooted – say you’re working too hard – you need…

The Uncook Book:The Essential GuideTo A Raw Food Lifestyle by Tanya Maher (£16.99, Hay House) OK, so technically this is ‘unlearning' how to cook, as well as how to put together tempting, nutritious raw fare.

THE CURRENCY Confusingly, there are two currencies in operation in Cuba. Locals use a currency called the national peso or CUP,, while tourists typically use the CUC or convertible peso. In shops you'll often see two prices listed.You can't buy either currency outside of Cuba, but pounds or euros can be swapped once inside the country, with currency exchanges at the bigger hotels or independent bureaux in town. There are ATM machines, but because of the embargo many of them won't accept cards from an American bank or from any UK bank that has affiliations with a US one – so don't rely on being able to access money from a cash point when you get there. THE WEATHER High season is November to April, with prices peaking around Christmas…

MESS This book isn't worried about using up all your pots and pans – especially in the lamb rib recipe, which calls for braising and then incredibly messy frying-off. It's pretty typical of someone unused to domestic cooking, but it's no crime. ACCURACY These recipes are pretty straightforward but the book has a haphazard approach to salt and pepper – some recipes mention it, some don't. Experienced cooks know that you have to season things, but I worry a novice might pick this up and make a saltless dinner. EFFORT Christian Honor runs a delightful café and has many devoted fans. Crossing over from the kitchen to the bookshelf is much harder than people assume and this is a well-intentioned first effort. I look forward to seeing what he does…

MARRIED LIFE CLEARLY suits Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux. Last week, the actor spoke for the first time since the surprise wedding at the couple’s LA home. ‘It does feel different,’ said Justin. ‘It’s nice to be able to look down and see a new piece of jewellery on my finger.’ THE MYSTERY DEEPENS regarding Lily Allen’s marriage to Sam Cooper. Last week, the singer’s rapper friend, Lethal Bizzle, was reported as saying, ‘She’s a real cool girl, I know her from back in the day. Is she married still? I thought she was single.’ Ah… Back in May it was being widely speculated that Doctor Who star Jenna Coleman and Prince Harry had enjoyed ‘a moment’ while at the polo.
