Well, ladies, another London Fashion Week has been and gone, and boy was it exhausting. As I write this – currently running back to the office from the Tube station after downing my biannual can of Red Bull, my main comfort is the knowledge that I can resume my unsocial social life imminently. However, my tiredness is not in vain, for in next week’s issue, we’ll be cluing you up on all the need-to-know trends next season has in store, including the catwalk looks you can buy on the high street straight after reading. Indeed, it’s going to be a busy week for us at Look HQ, but isn’t that always the case? Aren’t we – and, by we, I mean womankind – always busy? According to science, the answer…

Start Afresh Gone are the days of rubbing your skin raw with a harsh exfoliator. St. Moriz Advanced Pro Tan Remover Mousse, £9.99, works with your natural pH balance to gently remove colour. Just apply, wait five minutes, and wash off. Wash Off, Glow On Want to save time and your sheets? You can wash off the new St. Tropez Gradual Tan 1 Minute Pre-Shower Tanning Mousse, £14.50, after just one minute. Build it up over time and you’ll have a beautiful bronze tone. Speedy Tan Many tans claim to be quick, but if you like a dark, rich colour, the one-hour formulas can often fall flat. This is where Bondi Sands 1 Hour Express Self Tanning Foam, £18.99, comes in. In just 60 minutes, you can get a natural-looking…

Every season a brand-new dress pops up, claims cult status and becomes the most-liked thing on our Insta feed. There was the Topshop tea dress, then Marks & Spencer’s star-print number, and now? Enter Urban Outfitters’ Emilia. The design actually launched last year with white, black and burgundy versions, and it was only a few weeks before everyone (and we really mean, everyone) got their hands on one. Now, the worst part about said frock frenzies is, once they’re gone, they’re (usually) gone – into the abyss, never to be seen again. Urban Outfitters, though, has changed all that – for 2018, not only are the original Emilia colours back for those who missed the boat the first time round, but there are brand-new yellow and blue striped styles to…

Every now and then you start seeing one item of clothing everywhere – remember that Zara coat and those Topshop Joni jeans? Well, now there’s a new accessory starting to dominate our Instafeed: meet the only boy worth crying over – Karl, the new It bag from BOYY. Originating in NYC, it’s the label on every fash hun’s lips this season, and we’re so obsessed with Karl, we’re considering ditching #ChloeGirls in favour of the BOYY band. There’s a catch though. At £785, this bag is quite the, um, investment. Luckily for you all, we’ve found incarnations on the high street so good they’ll make you forget the real deal (kind of). The key detail to note is the iconic square buckle – if it’s got one, you’ve pretty much…

When the likes of It Girls Gigi and Emily Ratajkowski adorn their bods with amazing jewels, we can only assume the price tag will make them out of reach. But what if we were to tell you there’s a label all the VIPs are wearing that we can all actually afford ourselves? It’s time to meet… *drumroll, Luv AJ. Everyone who’s anyone has been wearing the LA brand. The feminine yet edgy styles that come in silver, gold and rose gold are so Instagrammable, you’ll be dying to show them off. It’s no surprise then that Luv AJ is getting a whole lot of, erm, Luv, and it’s fast becoming the new jewellery destination we can’t get enough of. Best part? You can save your £££s for summer hols as…

You only have to scroll two inches deep on Pinterest to realise pink and green is the dream colour duo for all things interior. So, why not extend it to your wardrobe as well? It’s not the most obvious pairing, seeing as the brash clash can be somewhat intimidating, but believe us when we say this one is worth a go. If you require additional convincing, just look at the style set giving us all the outfit inspo we’ll ever need. The secret lies in getting your hues right: think warm pastel pink contrasted with bright, leafy green, and hey presto – you’ve just earned yourself some serious style kudos.…

SAY NO Stress can be caused by lack of sleep, which can come from doing too much and trying to please too many people. Learning to say no and acknowledging your own workload, as well as managing your time well, will help you find more balance. SWITCH OFF YOUR PHONE A tech vacation or a digital detox is an important thing to do regularly. Switch off all your screens for a certain length of time, ideally 24 hours. If you feel 24 hours is too much, try to turn off all your notifications for a few hours, progressing to taking a break from all your devices for longer and longer each time. SILENT MOMENT For some, it’s walking into your home, for others it’s the time on your commute. Find…

Tropic Whipped Body Velvet Intensely Rich Buttermelt, £28 ‘I wasn’t too fussed with body butters before I found this gem. The mix of baobab oil, Madagascan butter and vanilla make this an all-round winner for winter skin.’ @gdidwhat Soap & Glory The Righteous Butter, £10 ‘This has been my go-to pampering moisturiser since I was at school!

'We are two best friends who have decided to part ways as a couple,’ read the joint statement from Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux on 15 February. ‘We are determined to maintain the deep respect and love we have for one another.’ Cue gasps in the Look office. The couple, who wed in secret at Jen’s Bel Air mansion in 2015, were rumoured to be on the rocks just four days prior to the news breaking, when Jen spent her 49th birthday partying in LA with her friends instead of with Justin. However, as Look previously reported, Jen and Justin are said to have been living separate lives for months, following two years of heartache about where they should live – a factor which, according to our sources, contributed to…

Every season, Pinterest pings over the top fashion search round-ups, and we report on our faves so you can try the trends asap. Cue asymmetric skirts. Searches on the style are up 69 per cent, and the high street has hundreds. Go for a midi of the mismatched-hem sort – one that skirts the standard silhouette rules (pun intended). Dress satin down with trainers and a tee, or wear Mango’s stripy style with slingbacks at work. There’s one for every occasion, while the cut suits long legs, short legs, top heavy, bottom heavy – the lot.…

Obsessed with treatments for your skin and taking a #SheetMaskSelfie every time you do one? Yep, us too! So, when Redken released a fancy new gold cap that promised to defrazzle our locks in less than 20 mins, we just had to give it a go. Here’s what happened… MASTER THE MASK After shampooing lightly, dry your hair and then twist it into a low bun. Put the seal to one side and then prise the cap apart and pop it on. You’ll notice it is a bit loose, so fold down this section and press the seal on top to fix it in place. Once on, gently massage your head to help distribute the product evenly over your hair. OUR VERDICT One of the reasons we forget to give…

is Emma Willis the busiest woman on telly? She doesn’t think so, and sitting across from her at the Rosewood Hotel in London, eating eggs, bacon and pastries of every kind, she certainly seems chilled. She might not be the busiest woman on the box, but she sure seems like the most normal – which is why we feel content to shove a flaky croissant into our mouth right in front of her. Oops. But, that’s the thing with Emma – you kind of forget you’re interviewing a celeb. We’re catching up to celebrate the launch of her new collaboration with Eylure (the 41 year old has helped design three fake-lash shapes, based on those of her children – eight-year-old Isabelle, six-year-old Ace and Trixie, one). But, lashes aside, we’re…

Is this statement true or false? ‘Kids’ glasses are the same as adult pairs, just smaller.’ If you answered false, you’re right – kids’ glasses look similar but are designed for younger faces in a way adult glasses aren’t. Which is good to know when your child starts to wear them. Child Appeal Firstly, kids’ glasses are made to have child-appeal, and when it comes to styles, they can choose between a great range of achingly cool looks. They’re also designed differently – they’ll take into account your child’s head shape and the fact that they’ll carry on growing during the time they own them. As well as a narrower width and a larger angle over the bridge of their nose, children’s glasses have nose pads so the frames sit…

If you haven’t yet tried the Adidas Ultra Boost range, where have you been? This super-light shoe is both supportive (thanks to the trainer arch that literally ‘holds’ the middle of your sole) and functional (ventilation holes are placed around the key front ‘sweat zones’) – and now even more stylish. The Ultra Boost takes all the features we know and love about this running shoe with the addition of Primeknit, which means less stretch in the fabric and therefore even more support. They make for a smoother run – and look just as good if you’re only ‘running’ to the shops! Ultra Boost and Ultra Boost X, from £149.95, Adidas.co.uk OBSESSED WITHÉ Wholegrain, vegan and tasty. Pop them in your gym bag! Indie Bay Snacks Pretzel Bites, 99p, Ocado…

NEWSFLASH! Confirmed! Childish Gambino will be headlining Love Box 2018! What’s the story? It’s based on the true story of Tonya Harding, one of the most talented American figure skaters in history. Despite her success, her legacy became tarnished after her ex-husband plotted an attack against Tonya’s fellow Olympic hopeful, Nancy Kerrigan. Forever associated with the scandal, the biopic sheds a darkly comic light on how the events led to Tonya becoming one of the most controversial names in sport. Who’s in it? Margot Robbie stars as Tonya, while Sebastian Stan plays Jeff, Tonya’s ex-husband. Allison Janney also features as Tonya’s mum, with Caitlin Carver as Nancy. Why should I care? It’s too good. And Margot Robbie is unreal. So unreal, she’s even been nominated for an Oscar for Best…

You X Max Factor Those make-up pros at Max Factor conducted a poll of over 26,000 women in the UK, and found that only 48 per cent were confident in their looks. SHOCKING! That’s why they’re now committed to delivering bespoke beauty – a very good thing if you ask us. High Street Hun Our fave royal-to-be has been seen wearing ANOTHER piece of Missoma jewellery – hun, we totally approve. Especially as the Interstellar ring in question is a steal.
