When it comes to Zara if there’s one rule to live by it is this: buy it. Look learnt that the hard way – and let us tell you there is no greater agony than the pangs of retail remorse. OK, fine, we’re being a touch dramatic. But when an insider source at Zara HQ tells you that these here buys are creating the biggest buzz in-store and online… Well, you do what any sensible shopper would do and buy the lot.

It’s that age-old dilemma: what to wear on the plane. On one hand, you want to look suitably stylish for when you reach your destination. On the other, you need to feel comfortable for the journey.

WEDDING FEVER Start with a striking base of white and paint two coats for a stronger tone. Once dry, cover a stamping tool with a deep blue shade and scrape away the excess. Press a sponge over the design and then transfer to the nail. Finish with a topcoat to seal. PARK LIFE Give your tips something to smile about with a pretty daisy design. First, paint two coats of pink as a base, then using a nail dotter, dip into an orange shade to create petals and press in a yellow middle. Seal with top coat. FESTIVAL FRIENDLY Take inspiration from the colours of summer with these brightly brushed nails. Paint random sections of your nail with bold shades and then using a dry brush slightly stipple softer strokes…

Amsterdam is just a 45-minute flight away. How on earth I missed that in my geography lessons is beyond me. Because I love Berlin, I’ve fallen for Paris, but Amsterdam always felt out of reach. Note to self: pick up a map more often. I digress. I’ve come to Amsterdam on a whim after Ben, one of my BFFs, assured me it was the place to be. I’d been convinced it was stag-do central, but after an hour or so meandering the pretty canals, I see there’s more to it than meets the eye. Firstly, it’s just so easy to get around. Amsterdam’s Airport Schiphol is only 20 minutes by train from the centre and as much of Amsterdam is reachable by bike or foot, we stay in a hotel…

‘IF MY SIZE 16 FRIENDS DON’T HAVE TO PAY MORE FOR THEIR CLOTHES, COMPARED TO MY SIZE 6 FRIENDS, WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO PAY MORE FOR MY SIZE 22 CLOTHES?’ @daniellevanier ‘I COMPLETELY DISAGREE WITH HAVING TO PAY MORE FOR BIGGER SIZES.’ Felicity Hayward @felicityhayward, model and women’s rights activist ‘IT’S EXTREMELY DISHEARTENING. IS THIS A FAT-SHAMING TACTIC? I CERTAINLY HOPE NOT.’ @chloeincurve_ ‘HAVING TO PAY MORE FOR CURVE FASHION INFURIATES ME. WE’RE BEING PUNISHED FOR OUR BODIES, SHAPES AND OUR SIZES YET BRANDS ARE HAPPY TO TAKE OUR MONEY. IT’S AN ABOMINATION.’ @chloepierre_ldn There’s no denying that size inclusivity is high on the retail agenda at the moment. Cult US label Reformation is just one of the brands to recently…

‘While the thought of using a guy’s beauty products might fill you with dread, I decided to trade places and part with my beloved 10-bottle-strong routine for my boyfriend’s more measly five. Spray deodorants are my thing so I wasn’t too keen on a roll-on, but I’ll admit I was pleasantly surprised, it worked a treat and didn’t have the expected overpowering men’s fragrance, plus it’s vegan. Tick, tick. I prepared for the worst with my skin: breakouts, dryness, all sorts of meltdowns but somehow my face not only survived the week, it’s in pretty good nick if I do say so myself. I’m a double-cleanse devotee, but the face wash left my skin clean without drying it out and, dare I say it, I liked the smell. Condensing a…

There’s a trend that’s been hiding in plain sight. A trend that you’ve likely seen already – perhaps even bought into – but now, after discovering this new way to shop it, it’s made it all the more covetable. Have you heard of ‘vichy’? No, we hadn’t either, until we began noticing it in the descriptions of basically everything we wanted to buy. Type the word into the search bar of Mango, Zara or any of your other favourite shops, and you’ll discover a secret section of everything from dreamy dresses and bold blazers to on-point accessories, all made in everyone’s favourite check: gingham. Turns out, in-the-know brands haven’t been calling their gingham items gingham at all: instead, vichy is the term of choice. A French noun, ‘vichy’ is the…

Bikini shopping. Two terrifying words. All through my teens, the idea of baring my legs was enough to induce a cold sweat, let alone the idea of strutting my stuff poolside in my smalls. My self-esteem didn’t exactly skyrocket in my twenties, either. But, if I could tell my 14/19/22/27-year-old self one thing, it would be this: ‘You look fine, babe’. Yes, hindsight is indeed 20/20, and what have I learnt after all this time? To go easy on myself. Now, I’m starting to embrace what my mama gave me, because I know that in three years time, I’ll be kicking myself for not realising I looked fine. That’s why I’m approaching summer 2018 bikini shopping with newfound confidence, and you can too… 1. BE REALISTIC I can try on…

‘I first joined a pod through a post on Facebook, from someone who was looking to set up a liking/commenting group to boost engagement,’ says Beth*, 25. ‘I’d not long started my account and the group was pretty open – anyone could ask to join and it had a real mixed selection of Instagram pages from fashion to travel and online retailers. ‘I thought it would be really useful, but I quickly became pressured to like and comment on each post that was sent to the group. Users would send multiple messages each day and it was difficult to keep track. The main issue I had with the pod was the pressure to like posts that I wouldn’t normally engage with – it quickly made Instagram an incredibly negative space…

1. What motivates you to get up in the morning? Life! Achieving my goals and dreams. 2. What was your dream growing up and have you achieved it? I always wanted to be a teacher and I was always creative. Every day after school, I would sit in my father’s closet playing teacher and having a pretend class. Now, I’m a make-up educator and living the best of both worlds. 3. What’s inspiring you at the moment? I’m super into homes, architecture and interior design. 4. What’s the best piece of advice you’ve received? It’s better to make a mistake than not do something at all. I read this when I was going through a phase where I was afraid to take a risk with my career. It gave me…
