Style Sub-Editor Laura Mallinson is loving...
The handy canvas Tote is the best friend you always needed: strong, versatile, funky, affordable and practical - it’ll see you through a heavy food shop and still look chic. As a win for both the fashion world and the environment, this future forward accessory will both perfect your outfit and save you the 5p carrier bag charge when you pop to the shops. So, waltz into a morning lecture with your textbooks lovingly held in a slogan tote for a practical style statement.
Style Editor India says...
A slightly unorthodox suggestion for what I’ve been loving this week. But I have to say it- acrylic nails are the new way forward. Yes- I’m probably quite late on the ‘fake nails’ bandwagon, but to quote Karen from Mean Girls, ‘my nail beds suck’. No more! After years of my habitual, compulsive biting, Galaxy Nails off of Whiteladies road has pulled through and provided me with a nice set of suitably sparkly acrylic gels. I’m trying to quash my sneaking suspicions that it’s not the healthiest option for nail growth with the consolation that they are really quite fun to tap on surfaces when I’m trying to look as professional and busy as possible- and all for not too steep a price! And they say that money can’t buy you happiness- or at least the illusion that you’re slightly more polished…

TIGI Catwalk Oatmeal and Honey Intense Nourishing Mask, 200ml.
Having long hair inevitably results in split ends which, if left unattended to, can very quickly look far from glam. I trawled through endless lists of top ten recommended hair care products from the expensive and organic to the somewhat cheaper. Finally, I decided on the TIGI Catwalk Oatmeal and Honey Intense Nourishing Mask. At around the £10 mark, depending on the store, it is both affordable and phenomenally effective - no exaggeration. Use it around once a week, and it honestly gives your hair such a brilliant lift leaving you with instant silky and healthy looking locks. Trust me; this product is the only reason my hair looks nice - Tresemme can only take a girl so far.
