For those with a penchant for quaint city gems and chic French boutiques, Paris Shopfronts will go down a treat. Flipping through the pages instantly transports you to a casual wander along the streets of Paris.
From Le Café des Chats, home to both feline residents and delectable foods, to Coco Chanel's couture house, Chanel 31 rue Cambon, and bibliophile favourite Shakespeare and Company Bookshop (pictured), readers can revel in a vast array of destinations.
The French capital is known for exquisite boutiques and department stores, and Paris Shopfronts gifts a detailed history of these - beautifully presented alongside Joel Holland's characterful illustrations.

How to dress like women from the most fashionable nation and recreate their summer looks – and it's not the UK or Spain
SCANDI style has influenced our homes with its minimalist but functional design, and now it's infiltrating our wardrobes. At the beginning of August, influencers and fashion editors flocked to stylish Copenhagen in their droves for Fashion Week. 14 The 'Big Four', aka London, New York, Paris and Milan fashion weeks are now having to include their Danish counterpart as a part of the exclusive fashion schedule as they draw the creme de la creme of fashion. Celebs? No. But trendsetting, well dressed members of the fashion crowd make it the coolest place to be. And it dictates trends like no other. Where the other fashion weeks show over the top designs, like taxidermy heads on ballgowns that seem unattainable to us normal folk, Copenhagen caters to real peoples clothing needs, whilst upholding standards of representing real women on its catwalks. From fuller busts to grey hair and having a figure that doesn't resemble a match stick - you can find your tribe in Copenhagen. 14 That is all well and good, but if you're a fan of Scandinavian brands like Ganni (who jumped ship to Paris Fashion week, traitors) and Stine Goya, you'll know that they come with pretty big price tags attached to them. Thankfully, the high street and supermarket brands are hot on their stylish heels already bringing us designs hot off the catwalk and influencers backs. Despite designers showing go-to looks for spring/summer 2026, the trends are already taking a hold and are perfect for the current hot weather and transitional outfits going into winter. Here, Fabulous' fashion editor Clemmie Fieldsend reveals the 7 things you can buy now from our favourite shops to channel the Danes style. LACE If there's one trend that transcends all seasons it's lace, and this year is no exception. From inserts on dresses to laser-cut out skirts and that viral top from Zara, lace is a hero for 2025. I picked up this skirt last week in F&F and it ticks all the trend boxes for now and will look so chic in winter with black knee high boots and a roll neck in winter. £19, F&F - BUY NOW 3D FLORALS Forget floral prints, if you want to be on-trend your flowers need to be 3D lead by Cecile Bahnsen. Luckily River Island has appliqued florals on their transitional looks that you can wear now and take into autumn by layering with tights and skirts or slipped under suits like this £36 top. HEADSCARFS On the bags, hips and heads of fashionable folk at Copenhagen fashion week, the scarf is also here to stay. As we move into a new season your best, and on-trend, bet is to have it around your head, but placing it anywhere else on your body is also just as good. H&M are selling gorgeous styles from just £8.99. CHECKS Swap your gingham prints for checks that have started to creep into stores ahead of autumn and are a timeless trend that can live in your wardrobe for years, and years to come. The easiest way to incorporate this into your wardrobe is with a shirt, this style from New Look is perfect for wearing open with a white tank underneath and all buttoned up when we move into cooler months. From your feet to your bag and everything in between, woven styles aren't showing signs of going anywhere with Scandi girls still loving the look. Primark's £15 dupe of high end brand Dragon Diffusion is available in cream and brown. BALLOON TROUSERS If you thought barrel shaped trousers were the key to comfort, think again as balloon trousers are the latest trend set to rock the trouser-sphere. Balloon shapes were on front row goers as well as models at Birrot and The Garment but this style from Zara is an amazing statement pair you need now. SHEER Sexy sheer is set to be huge going into next season, and, from designers Rotate Birger Christensen at fashion week, next year too. This skirt from Next is a bargain in the sale and looks so chic in see-through black with a mini skirt insert. A great by for now and you can even wear it into party season. You can either recoil in horror or embrace it for when you can't decide what to wear, but dresses over trousers are in. It girls swanned around the cobbled streets of Copenhagen with skirts and long dresses over their jeans and you best believe well all be doing it too. A part lace, part satin hem with fluidity seems to be the hottest way to go, like this H&M style in must-have plum shade is perfect.

Jessie J reveals her hair has been falling out 'like crazy' following mastectomy and breast cancer battle ahead of undergoing more surgery
Jessie J has revealed her hair has been falling out 'like crazy' in a candid Instagram video on Wednesday, amid her breast cancer battle. The singer, 37, has been recovering from breast cancer surgery since June, which saw her undergo a mastectomy. In a clip she filmed two weeks ago, Jessie also gave fans a life update as she prepares to go down for surgery again. Jessie, who is mother to two-year-old-son Sky, said: 'My hair has been falling out like crazy since the surgery. Five weeks today since my surgery and I'm feeling okay. 'I've still got quite a lot of cording so that's my main focus.' Cording, also known as Axillary Web Syndrome (AWS), is a condition where cord-like structures develop under the skin, typically in the inner arm, after breast cancer surgery, especially lymph node removal. It can feel like a tight band or rope, causing pain and restricted movement in the arm and shoulder. She added: 'My boobs still aren't even, it's still so sore. And this is my old, aw you're not old [breast]'. 'I'm just trying to figure out what the next six months will look like. I know I can't do everything that I was suppose to be doing but I just want to be able to make it work the best I can for everybody, me, Sky, my fans but in the right order. 'You are always gonna leave some people disappointed. My perspective on everything has changed so much.' Last week, Jessie revealed she has to undergo more surgery just days after she was rushed to hospital with an infection and fluid on her lungs. While she is now back at home, the Price Tag singer revealed that she'll soon be back in surgery, yet insisted she wouldn't let it get in the way of parenting and making new music. In a lengthy Instagram post, Jessie shared: 'I can rest, parent AND release new music. 'I didn't leave a major label after 18 years to be scared to re write the rules to fit around my life / health and just make it realistic on what I can deliver in all roles in my life.' She then revealed her upcoming surgery when she penned: 'Another surgery needed this year. I can do it.' Jessie continued: 'Raising a toddler. I can do it. Releasing new music. I can do it. 'It will look different to what I had planned but that's life, things change and either we panic and get mad that it isn't what is was going to be, or we ADAPT. 'I'm just flowing with life and giving the best I can. Instead of stopping and disappearing and waiting for the timing to be perfect to release music again. 'It's never the perfect time. Because grown up life is layered and has highs and lows and we just have to keep living in all of it. So here I am. LIVING. 'And I just want you to have the music. Deal?' She later added that she can be a 'creative artist, present mother and healing patient, all at the same time', alongside a magic ward emoji. Jessie previously admitted she went into 'survival mode' upon learning of her cancer diagnosis, but is now letting herself feel angry and sad in equal measure. Sharing an Instagram post in June, she wrote: Jessie wrote: '2 weeks post surgery. Had my drain out 2 nights ago. She said breathe in and take a hard breathe out. She whipped that thang out so quick. Woii oii. Weirdest feeling. But so nice to have it out after 12 days. 'Now it's just me and my wonky boobs trying to figure out how to dress until I match them up. The left one is looking at me like 'you ok babe?''. She continued: 'Also my experience was when I was diagnosed I went into survival mode. There was so much going on with appointments and in my mind esp with a toddler I had just moved and was about to start this campaign after 8 years away. Mad. 'I didn't really have a lot of time to process what was happening or what was going to happen. So I'm currently experiencing some delayed sadness and frustration by having time to process what IS happening. 'A little disappointed in myself I didn't say goodbye to my old boob enough. Sounds silly but that's where I'm at. Again that's my journey. I'm sure others feel different. 'But for me I didn't think beyond the surgery. I was just being strong. Well now I'm here and letting myself be angry and sad and all the things. Just for a few days. Then I will sew some padding in a bra to even them out order some t-shirts and crack tf on'. Jessie previously confirmed that she is not cancer free, a day after posting her hopes to be rid of the disease. The singer said last month her previous post had been 'misunderstood' and while she was 'praying' for good news, the cancer at present had unfortunately not 'all gone'. Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers in the world and affects more than two MILLION women a year Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers in the world. Each year in the UK there are more than 55,000 new cases, and the disease claims the lives of 11,500 women. In the US, it strikes 266,000 each year and kills 40,000. But what causes it and how can it be treated? What is breast cancer? It comes from a cancerous cell which develops in the lining of a duct or lobule in one of the breasts. When the breast cancer has spread into surrounding tissue it is called 'invasive'. Some people are diagnosed with 'carcinoma in situ', where no cancer cells have grown beyond the duct or lobule. Most cases develop in those over the age of 50 but younger women are sometimes affected. Breast cancer can develop in men, though this is rare. Staging indicates how big the cancer is and whether it has spread. Stage 1 is the earliest stage and stage 4 means the cancer has spread to another part of the body. The cancerous cells are graded from low, which means a slow growth, to high, which is fast-growing. High-grade cancers are more likely to come back after they have first been treated. What causes breast cancer? A cancerous tumour starts from one abnormal cell. The exact reason why a cell becomes cancerous is unclear. It is thought that something damages or alters certain genes in the cell. This makes the cell abnormal and multiply 'out of control'. Although breast cancer can develop for no apparent reason, there are some risk factors that can increase the chance, such as genetics. What are the symptoms of breast cancer? The usual first symptom is a painless lump in the breast, although most are not cancerous and are fluid filled cysts, which are benign. The first place that breast cancer usually spreads to is the lymph nodes in the armpit. If this occurs you will develop a swelling or lump in an armpit. How is breast cancer diagnosed? Initial assessment: A doctor examines the breasts and armpits. They may do tests such as a mammography, a special x-ray of the breast tissue which can indicate the possibility of tumours. Biopsy: A biopsy is when a small sample of tissue is removed from a part of the body. The sample is then examined under a microscope to look for abnormal cells. The sample can confirm or rule out cancer. If you are confirmed to have breast cancer, further tests may be needed to assess if it has spread. For example, blood tests, an ultrasound scan of the liver or a chest X-ray. How is breast cancer treated? Treatment options which may be considered include surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy and hormone treatment. Often a combination of two or more of these treatments are used. Surgery: Breast-conserving surgery or the removal of the affected breast depending on the size of the tumour. Radiotherapy: A treatment which uses high energy beams of radiation focused on cancerous tissue. This kills cancer cells, or stops them from multiplying. It is mainly used in addition to surgery. Chemotherapy: A treatment of cancer by using anti-cancer drugs which kill cancer cells, or stop them from multiplying. Hormone treatments: Some types of breast cancer are affected by the 'female' hormone oestrogen, which can stimulate the cancer cells to divide and multiply. Treatments which reduce the level of these hormones, or prevent them from working, are commonly used in people with breast cancer. How successful is treatment? The outlook is best in those who are diagnosed when the cancer is still small, and has not spread. Surgical removal of a tumour in an early stage may then give a good chance of cure. The routine mammography offered to women between the ages of 50 and 71 means more breast cancers are being diagnosed and treated at an early stage.
