Grazia的Issue 573目录

It’s just that British thing isn’t it? The tiniest sliver of sun comes out and we all go a bit mad – bare our legs, wear T-shirts, spend all our money on a summer wardrobe, even though really we still need a coat… In other words, we’ve hit peak cold-snap clothing boredom. So here’s Grazia’s guide to what to buy. First: nab a sure-fire summer sell-out before anyone else (see page 24 for our edit). Second, invest in a blazer (page 72). Third: well, this one’s up for debate, literally… go and check out a V-neck shoe. It’s being pioneered by the cult that is Céline, but it’s set our fashion team at war (see page 40). Will you? This week, we also investigate the truth about IVF – it’s…

WHAT MADE IT to the top of the spring fashion charts? And how to nab your summer heroes now? When it comes to snagging one of the season’s key pieces, sometimes you can blink and miss your chance. Olivia P’s Topshop bomber jacket? Sold out. That Vetements floral dress? Not a hope in hell. And Gucci’s leaf-green loafers? Lol! Luckily, there’s always a next-big-thing, and with the best summer pieces landing in stores now, there’s never been a better time to get shopping. Cue our list of the next big S/S ’16 must-haves: Topshop’s bomber reinvented in sunshine-friendly pastels, Lisa Marie Fernandez’s spot-on gingham sundress, and Maryam Nassir Zadeh’s turquoise-blue mules, which already have a waiting list of people ready to snap them up when they land on brownsfashion.com this…

Photos: Jason Lloyd-Evans, PA Photos, Camera Press FOR Charlie Gowans-Eglinton, acting fashion news and features editor So they're a little witchy. And quite odd. OK, very odd. But when did that last stop us? This is Fashion, folks, with a capital F, and Fashion ain't always pretty - sometimes it's bonkers, too. These dehydrated-Wicked-Witch-of-the-East slippers make your feet look longer, which is not ideal for everyone, but I have a-bit-too-small feet. Not creepy small, mind you, but I'm 5ft 6in and a size 4, so I can look a little out of proportion, and am prone to losing my balance in yoga. I actually wear a size 5 most of the time to make my feet look bigger - sounds weird, but I heard a rumour that Phoebe Philo (Céline's…

GOVERNMENT REPORT ABOUT SEXUAL VIOLENCE IN CONFLICT A House of Lords Committee last week published the report: Sexual Violence In Conflict: A War Crime. It sets out policy goals for reducing the crime and suggests a raft of changes in how the Government looks at it. SELFIE - ONLY BENCH New benches in South Wales have been turning heads for all the wrong reasons. They were installed backwards by Bridgend County Borough Council, facing away from the stunning coastal view. Instead, visitors get to enjoy the scenic tarmac road – oops! Ah well, at least they’re good for selfies. SEVEN BREAST TYPES Hallelujah! A lingerie website has recognised the fact that all women’s bodies are different. According to ThirdLove’s Breast Shape Dictionary, there are seven types of breasts: Slender, Tear…

ZAC GOLDSMITH ISVERY POSH, very handsome – and very quiet; a quietness both charming and annoying. On the one hand, it suggests an appealing lack of arrogance. Goldsmith sounds like a sweet lullaby of a reproach to the male braying that generally serves as background music in the Commons. It also helps mitigate how posh he is. Zac was born 41 years ago, one of billionaire financier Sir James Goldsmith’s eight children (by three different wives and a long-term lover; Zac’s mother, Annabel, is the wife with the nightclub named after her). He was raised in Ormeley Lodge, a six-acre Georgian estate in a ritzy outreach of London. He got booted out of Eton for smoking weed and he is supposed to have inherited up to £300 million from his…

SOMETIMES, IT CATCHES her off-guard. A colleague’s baby brought into the office, or a toddler smiling at their mother in the supermarket can cause a rush of grief to sweep through Jan Stillaway’s body and hold her so tightly in its grip that it is hard for her to breathe. ‘It’s a form of bereavement,’ she says. ‘I’ve learned to live with it, but there are moments when it completely floors me.’ Just like increasing numbers of women today, Jan gave her dream of motherhood all she had, emotionally and financially. She spent £30,000 on round after gruelling round of invasive fertility treatments. Now, when she looks ahead, she sees a string of milestones she won’t experience: her child’s first steps, their first day at school, their wedding. It’s a…

GOOD SPIRITS We all know quinoa as a health-food staple, but did you know it can be turned into vodka? The grain is the main ingredient of our (frightfully-on-the-zeitgeist) tipple of choice - introducing FAIR's quinoa vodka, £32.35. Anyone for a V&T? Lighter evenings = more outside exercise time. These lightweight jackets will protect against any April showers that upset your schedule. We adore anything Lucas Hugh, and this jacket, £225, is no exception. adidas’s all-over flower-print jacket, £37, simply spells springtime. So pretty. Be safe and be all white in Sweaty Betty’s reflective jacket, £145. HAVE A BREATHER Remember the last time you did nothing? No internet checking or Instagram refreshing. We can't either. But research by psychologist Sandi Mann in The Upside Of Downtime (£12.78, Robinson) argues that…

FOOD TREND DRINKING PARTNERS Biodynamic wines are our dinner tipple of choice. They have fewer of the nasties, such as sulphites and sugar, that lead to a sore head. Or make a ‘Hemsley Collins’ – our vodka version of the Tom Collins cocktail. Choose a potato-based, gluten-free vodka like Chase, then use fresh fruit and a touch of raw honey to sweeten naturally. For a mixer, go for coconut water as it’s super-hydrating. WASTE NOT, WANT NOT! In Australia recently, we fell in love with Sean’s Panorama on Bondi Beach (seanspanaroma.co), where the daily changing menu innovatively uses every part of the animal for a delicious waste-not-want-not attitude to food. We love discovering restaurants that champion this way of eating, with old-school dishes such as beef shin, pig cheeks or…

Photos: Rex Features The climax of season five of Game Of Thrones could not have left matters in the thrilling kingdom of Westeros on a more nail-biting knife-edge. Killing off your Jesus figure, your one pure hero, in the last moments of a season is a baller move. So we start season six with the big questions. Is Jon Snow dead? Will he be a White Walker? If he does prove immortal, then he's immune to the Judas kiss of his army that lined up to deliver blow after blow, leaving his blood clotting across the earth. They won't be happy. The biblical subtexts in series five could not have been any more blatantly referenced. Off-set, matters could not be any more thrilling either. Kit Harington (Snow) has been spotted…

A NEW SEASON calls for a style refresh. Cue the updated Effervescence Collection from Links of London. These sterling silver or 18kt rose gold with pavé diamond designs will elevate the simplest outfit, while their elegant, understated sparkle makes them office-friendly too. No wonder they’re top of our wish list! Try wearing a pendant studded with pavé diamonds over a spring knit for the ideal weekend style-over. To amp up your look for evening, layer up your necklaces and add a striking double ring. Freshwater pearls, meanwhile, will lend a timeless twist to occasionwear. So whether you make one statement buy or mix ’n’ match for high-glam sparkle, don’t miss the chance to give your look a stylish update. Exclusive discount!

‘IT’S ALL EASY’ by Gwyneth Paltrow What does easy mean in the context of the kitchen? For me, it means having staff to do all the difficult stuff so I can get on with finding my inner me-ness. I can get so wrapped up in everyday worries about missing my yoga class that I lose sight of the real Gwynnie. At times like that, I take a deep breath and remember my main purpose is to help the little people. Like you. A centred kitchen is the first step to a centred mind, so buy some liquid stevia, Gochujan paste and a matcha whisk and pray to a god of your choice for their spiritual well-being. Here's a photo of me looking gorgeous while my chef makes me an apple…

THE DUKE AND DUCHESS of Cambridge last week embarked on a seven-day tour of India and Bhutan. And whatever your personal opinion on such an occasion – ‘It looks like a spoof!’ or ‘Ahhh, doesn’t K-Middy look pretty, but whydoes she insist on wearing those flesh-coloured tights?’ – there’s no denying Their Majesties pull it off like pros. But don’t be fooled – kicking a football or feeding a baby rhino is not nearly as easy as our future king and queen make it appear. Especially in a hessian-heeled pair of wedges (Her, not him). Graziacaught up with royal experts Ingrid Seward and Katie Nicholl (who is currently on tour with the Duke and Duchess) to find out all the behind-the-scenes secrets. ‘On royal tours, nothing is left to chance,’…

Photos: Corbis, INF, Shutterstock European abortion rights are under attack. Just after Donald Trump was forced to do a U-turn on his bizarre declaration that women who’ve had abortions must be punished retrospectively, a Northern Irish woman waspunished retrospectively. The 21-year-old – who bought pills online to terminate an unwanted pregnancy two years earlier, and was shopped to the authorities by her housemates (with whom I should quite like a chat) – was given a three-month suspended sentence because (and I forget this periodically, only to be reminded by some sickening incident like this, or the death of Savita Halappanavar) abortion is still illegal (or as good as) throughout Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. In recent weeks, protestors took to the streets in Warsaw because it transpires that…

Life changing. JESSICA CHASTAIN LAURA SAYS: Oh to be dressed by the rock star that is Altuzarra. The beading is exquisite and the green flatters her alabaster skin. Love the jewellery , the megawatt smile and I’d like to point out that this, ladies, is how to do side-boob. JOHN SAYS: If a frock has been lying at the bottom of Sarah Ferguson’s dressing-up box since 1985, there’s probably a good reason. Jessica carries it off, but she still looks like a Game Of Thrones extra. YOU…

BAD RELATIONSHIP HABITS are easy to get into, right? Whether it’s always falling for someone who’s just like your dad (awkward) or relentlessly pursuing unavailable men, it’s not unusual for single women – consciously or otherwise – to have developed patterns of dating behaviour that sabotage their attempts to develop lasting relationships. For me, it started in my mid-twenties, when I was dumped for the very first time. Thrown into a world of heartbreak and torment, I was shocked to discover what it really felt like to be rejected. So, adamant to avoid such devastation again, I turned to online dating, always picking the wrong men for brief flings so I wouldn’t get hurt. And while I would like to say it was a subconscious thing, deep down, I knew…

IF THE VERY THOUGHT OF ANOTHER SUMMER wedding fills you with dread, fear not – a capsule wardrobe of mix ’n’ match tailoring and standout accessories will see you through whatever fancy events summer throws at you. Look for classic shapes with flamboyant touches, like the jewelled collar on Ted Baker’s chic sleeveless top, or Reiss’s purple shift, updated with lace sleeves, which will turn heads paired with Ted Baker’s statement silver sequin jacket. When it comes to accessories, go for staple buys you can wear again and again – a metallic shoe is a party essential, but will work with denim too, and a little silver clutch will be the hardest working best friend in your wardrobe. And summer definitely calls for a pair of super-cool sunnies. Now all…

 IF YOU’RE LOOKING to make an impact with your new season wardrobe, then Very’s reinvented florals are spot on.

IT’S A GIRL THANG After a wobbly first episode, season five of Girls has turned out, against all odds, to be the finest since its first. Shosh in Japan, that Anderson Cooperish gay newsreader, Jessa and Adam making out at Narcs Anonymous, Hannah's parents - all brilliant. The cherry on all this fruity cake is Marnie. Ghastly, narcissistic, beautiful, tragic, useless Marnie is the embodiment of everything that is despicably self-interested in the modern world. She's like Twitter: the person.

Photos: Getty Images THEY’RE ONE OF THE ACTING world’s most enduring couples. So when Diane Kruger revealed she had moved to New York to be closer to Joshua Jackson, many speculated that an engagement was imminent. But sadly, Graziaunderstands that the couple are struggling, after friends claim Diane’s move – seen as a last-ditch attempt to rescue their 10-year relationship – has driven them further apart. ‘They love each other but what was once very passionate has turned quite stale. They’re living separate lives,’ an insider told Grazia. ‘Being in the same city has made things worse because it’s highlighted the fact that what Diane really needs is some space. She’s a very independent spirit and isn’t sure if she wants to be tied down.’ News of their impending split…

Photos: Splash News, Alamy “ Cheryl has grown FRUSTRATED - she’s desperate to finalise her divorce and MOVE ON NEWS OF THEIR SHOCK romance was met with scepticism in some quarters. But, last week, the artist formerly known as Cheryl Fernandez-Versini and One Direction’s Liam Payne appeared to confirm their whirlwind relationship is going from strength to strength, when they were spotted on another date in London. Their public appearance came just days after it was revealed that Cheryl has practically moved into the singer’s LA home. Perhaps unsurprisingly, Cheryl is now said to be a lot happier than she was towards the end of her marriage to Jean-Bernard Fernandez-Versini. But it seems she isn’t out of the woods just yet. Last week, the 32-year-old unfollowed her soon-to-be-ex-husband on Instagram.…

Charlie Gowans-Eglinton THIS WEEK, MARK Zuckerberg announced that he's doing away with Facebook's human help team in favour of chatbots. It might be a way off, but we're hoping they employ some gender equality, as we can't help but notice that most AI helpers seem to be women. Ask your smartphone a question… How does she sound? How about your lightly chiding supermarket self check-out? Amazon's digital helper is called Alexa (sadly sans Lady Di frills). Microsoft's Cortana has very female dulcet tones.They're all variations on Scarlett Johansson's operating system character in Her, right?

"I think the PROBLEM is, in part, that WOMEN haven’t been allowed to EXPLORE and embrace and celebrate ‘DOWN THERE’ enough yet" WHAT DO YOU think of when you hear the word ‘fanny’? Do you think of hot, face-grabbing sex? Do you think of the mind-bending miracle of birth? What about ‘vagina’ or ‘pussy’? But then how about ‘noo noo’? Or ‘twinkle’? And what of ‘angry kebab’? What I’m asking you, as a 35-year-old documentary maker and writer is, what should I call my lady garden? By now, surely we, in fact I, should have a word to address this important area of my anatomy that doesn’t feel too clinical, too childish or too slutty. And yet, when it comes to the bit between our legs, there seems to be…

SHRIMPS SILKIES Shrimps is best known for the Fraggle Rockfaux furs beloved by the fashion set: think Alexa Chung in vivid leopard print and Laura Bailey in Cookie Monster blue. But since we might be a tad warm in those come summer, designer Hannah Weiland has turned her hand from shagpile to silk. Shrimps Silkies is a capsule collection featuring a jumpsuit, two dresses, two blouses and a scarf - covered in Weiland's signature hand-sketched witty characters, big-nosed and bright eyed, like a technicolour Guess Who line-up.

IT REALLY IS TRUE what they say; it’s what’s on the inside that counts – inside your clothes, that is. So if you want to step up your style, start with the underpinnings. The right bra can perfect your shape – whether you wish your bust was fuller, shapelier or, well, just a bit perkier – so that your whole wardrobe will get the lift (pun intended!) it needs. Triumph UK have paired up with Daisy Lowe for their latest campaign. And, having first encouraged women to get fitted for the right-sized bra, now they want you to reclaim your shape – with a little help from their new Magic Boost designs in slinky lace and hourglass shapes. Because behind (or should that be beneath?) every great outfit, there’s a…

I AM THE ONE AND ONLY! I loved Polly’s column on singlism (11 April). If a man so much as looks at me, my friends go ‘Why haven’t you asked him out yet?’ I’m fine being single and I’m sick and tired of having to explain this to others. People are always surprised I’m single because I’m a very happy person. I find this ridiculous and almost offensive. Joan Rivers said it best: ‘I feel sorry for all the single girls today. The whole society is not for single girls. A girl – you’re 30 years old, you’re not married, and you’re an old maid. A man? He’s single and 90 years old – he’s a catch! It kills me!’ Elizabeth I was content when I was single and –…
