A ONE-DAY DIARY FROM FLAT WHITE TO LIGHTS OUT Sophie, 22, is a bra fit expert at Marks & Spencer, where she helps customers find their perfect style and size. She lives in Exeter with her mum and two dogs I like to ease into the day. I’ll get up two hours before I need to leave and watch Netflix (right now, I’m binge-watching Suits), make eggs on toast, chill out with my dogs and do my make-up. My shifts can start anytime between 7am and 10am, so I’ll hop on the bus half an hour before I’m due in. My first shift was nerve-wracking. I’ve been at M&S on and off since a work experience placement in the lingerie department at 14, but it was only after finishing…

stylist advertorial From the iconic songs to the story behind one of the most inspiring women in music history, Amie-Jo Locke on why TINA: The Tina Turner Musical is the ultimate night out My first memory of Tina Turner was my babysitter’s rendition of Private Dancer, the track from the 1984 hit album of the same name, belted out using a hairbrush microphone while I jumped around on my mother’s cream jacquard sofa. Tina was played on the way to school, a slightly warped version of Proud Mary crackling out of the busted speakers in our family’s Vauxhall Cavalier. Tina was everything. That voice. Those outfits. Imagine my excitement when I found out that TINA: The Tina Turner Musical, which is based on the life of this multi-award winning icon,…

stylist advertorial As the clocks change, a decent night’s sleep needn’t become a distant dream, as Stylist found After what seems like a dark eternity, the days are finally starting to lengthen and the temperatures slowly rising. This is obviously great news in so many ways, but there’s just one problem with this picture – how do we get a decent night’s sleep with all that extra light and daylight saving time just around the corner? Worry not, people. We have just the person to guide you through the perils and pitfalls of notching up a decent store of Z’s. Step forward Hannah Shore, resident sleep expert at Silentnight. Before we get into the nuts and bolts of a great night’s sleep, Shore has some great general advice. “Whatever you’re…

beauty Beauty treatments are becoming increasingly holistic, addressing mind, body and soul while opening up the wider world of alternative therapies. Stylist’s Susan Riley feels her way through an industry slowly being turned inside out A few months ago I had a facial. Except it wasn’t, but then it was. Ish. Let me explain. Facials in my book have always involved lots of creams, massage and product recommendations. But this – this was a complete 360 assessment of my physical and mental state that I genuinely hadn’t expected to experience stepping into a spa. The treatment was the Bradden Method by in-demand cosmetic acupuncturist and holistic therapist Sarah Bradden (sarahbradden.com), which is described as a ‘spiritual reset and facelift’ in one. A description I can’t beat. Bradden’s method is a…

stylist advertorial Boost your skincare this season in the quickest and easiest of ways – without having to adjust any other part of your routine… The world of skincare can be confusing. Just when you think you’ve nailed your routine, you discover a new ingredient or there’s an onslaught of new products that you’re desperate to try. But it doesn’t have to be like that: it’s important to remember that getting results is about playing the long game. It’s about learning and understanding what your own unique needs are and what concerns (if any) you want to target. Ultimately, it’s about finding the most effective ingredients and layering them in the most effective way. While we understand that the idea of layering your skincare might sound a little overwhelming, trust…

The titles worthy of a place on your bedside table Romantic Comedy by Curtis Sittenfeld Curtis Sittenfeld has a gift for writing women. Whether imagining real lives (Hillary Clinton in Rodham, Laura Bush in American Wife), or reinventing fictional ones (Lizzie Bennet in Eligible), her characters spill off the page in all their messy, complex glory. In her latest novel, the author breathes life into TV script writer Sally Milz, who after a series of failed romances, has given up on love, only to… OK, so you might guess the plot, but this doesn’t stop Romantic Comedy being any less addictive. Split into three parts, the first takes us behind the scenes of an SNL-style TV show, as Sally channels her cynicism into her sketches, skewering common romantic tropes such as…

My past week has been an emotional rollercoaster. At Stylist, International Women’s Day is a big deal, and the team’s week has been packed with events that have inspired and devastated in equal measure. I find myself reminded how energising it is when women come together yet how bleak it is that we’re often having these conversations on repeat, with 50% of the population missing from the room. So I will say again what I said at every event I attended: women’s rights are a people problem, not a women’s problem. Equality benefits us all. While reflecting on the progress (or lack of it) it struck me that there has been one huge shift since Stylist launched 13 years ago, and it may be the start of an answer to…

But what compels someone to bare their soul? words: meena alexanderPhotography: chantel king TRIGGER WARNING: This article contains mentions of self-harm, addiction and sexual assault Few people have their darkest secrets littered across the internet like Cat Marnell. In the 2010s she was the high priestess of confessional writing, leaving her job at a glossy magazine to pen controversial columns for Vice and xoJane with headlines like ‘Eating Kleenex For Appetite Suppression’ and ‘I Snorted Bath Salts At Work Today’. She told of her drug-fuelled benders and sexual exploits. Her writing provoked concern and outrage almost daily. The page views were proof that we couldn’t look away. “I was embraced…

stylist network Whether you’re returning from maternity leave or an extended career break, getting back into the swing of work can feel daunting. Here, eight women who’ve done it offer their advice Words: Deborah Linton Work makes up such a mammoth part of our lives that hitting pause can be disorienting. We might need to step away to look after a baby or our own health, or simply want time out to travel or pursue that passion for pottery. More than 64% of women have taken a career break at some point and 68% say it positively impacted their wellbeing, but when it’s time to return to the fray, the working world can suddenly feel alien. At a time when everything we thought we knew about work is shifting (fingers…

THE MEANING OF LIFE IN 2O PROBING QUESTIONS What will the author, model and activist make of our existential questions? Being an adult is… Discovering that everyone is trying their best. If someone could reveal your future, would you want to know? No, I don’t like spoilers. Are you brave? Yes, I think anyone who lives a life outside of what society deems the norm is brave and bold. How do you sleep? I can sleep through anything. My boyfriend is such a light sleeper but I can sleep through car alarms and barking dogs. It’s a talent: I can sleep on planes, in cars, up against the window on trains… What do you like about yourself? I’m good at finding the lesson to situations that are difficult to navigate.…
