Try 'smart' fashion hack next time you have 'nothing to wear'
If you spend longer than you'd like to admit agonising over outfits, you might appreciate a "simple" tip that fashion enthusiasts believe "people should know about". This hack is perfect for anyone who often says 'I don't have anything to wear' or wants to reduce the time they spend planning their looks.
The popular tip went viral when singer Meg DeAngelis shared a TikTok video offering fashion advice. Posting on TikTok as @megandeangelis, Meg told her 1.5 million followers: "Somebody taught me a trick.
"To this day, I use it almost every single morning, and I swear my life and my outfits are so much better, and I just feel like more people should know about this."
She continued: "If you're the type of person where you have a lot of clothes and you know you've technically bought stuff you like and cute stuff, but when you're getting ready in the morning you're standing in front of your closet and you genuinely feel like you have nothing to wear, this is what fixed it for me. It's literally so easy.
"You pick something from your closet, and all you do is you copy. Go to your clothing orders, like in your email, so where you've ordered clothes from, and go to the picture of the item you bought and copy it."
As Meg suggested, the tip might be especially helpful if you loved something online but you're struggling to style it now. Simply take inspiration from the promotional outfits, designed by professional stylists.
Sometimes you can use the tip for secondhand clothing items, too. Meg suggests searching for the brand name and keywords related to the item to see how it was styled.
Her video impressed social media users. The post racked up over 100,000 views and 10,000 likes, reports Belfast Live.
Someone replied: "Thank you! That's a great idea." A second response said: "Honestly yess bc sometimes after I buy something I be searching it up or looking at the review pictures waiting for it to come in but when I have it it sits there waiting to get styled and worn but now I should revisit the review pictures bc they're the whole reason I got it in the first place."
A thid fan thought: "Oh this is sooooo smart." A different comment read: "I check the review pictures. The baddies know what they're doing!"
Others shared their own styling suggestions. For example, a viewer shared: "I just organize my closet by events and put things next to eachother that go together like my jeans are paired next to the tops they best go with."
A different reply said: "I make pinterest board of my outfits and I go through them every day to pick an cute outfit."
Someone shared: "If you take a picture of it and Google back search it you might find multiple styling options too! (Depending on the piece of clothing)." Another response added: "I feel like nobody uses Pinterest anymore but I always use it for this!!!"

'I did a full face of make-up using this influencer's beauty box and it saved me £155'
This popular beauty box has just launched a new limited-edition, one-off edit with a top make-up influencer, worth a huge £210 but yours for under £55 – and I've tried it out Beauty boxes are a popular way to save money on products nowadays, but with so many on the market, it can be hard to know exactly which ones are worth your money. And so I put one newly launched box to the test to see if I could use every product inside to create a quick and easy everyday make-up look. The box in question is the limited-edition OK! Beauty Box created in collaboration with make-up artist and influencer Genevieve Turley, whose funny and relatable videos you'll probably have seen on TikTok and Instagram. This one-off-purchase box contains 11 skin and make-up products from top brands (10 of which are full-size), which are worth over £210 in total, yet you can get it for £54.99 instead of the usual £59.99 through this link, or by using the code MIRRORGEN at the checkout – a whopping £155 saving. I challenged myself to see if I could use every product inside to create an easy and flattering make-up look. Here's how I got on... Every make-up artist will say that good make-up starts with good skin, so after cleansing I used two of the luxury skincare products in the box: Gatineau Collagene Expert Hydra Essence and cult classic Medik8 C-Tetra Lipid 7% Vitamin C Radiance Serum (in a full-size bottle, no less). This gave my skin a gorgeous glow and hydrated feel, and provided the perfect base for my make-up. A dap of the Dr. Paw Paw Shea Butter Lip Balm and I was ready to go. As it would be impossible for any beauty box to include a base product that matches all skin tones, here is where I applied a few of my current favourites: Dior Dior Forever Hydra Nude Natural Perfection Foundation, £52, and a touch of Laura Mercier Real Flawless Weightless Perfecting Concealer, currently £22.80. I also brushed my brows up using my favourite REFY Brow Sculpt, £20, and curled my eyelashes. Next I reached for the Rodial Blush Drops from the box, and this was probably the product that surprised me the most. Despite looking very orange in the bottle, it's actually a very flattering, shimmery shade of peach on the skin, and gives your face a gorgeous summery glow. On the cheeks, I found the Makeup Revolution Bright Light Highlighter to be a little too glam for everyday (although great for a full make-up look), but it looked lovely dotted on the eyelids, giving a subtle copper sheen. Next up was a sweep of the Delilah Eye Line Long Wear Retractable Pencil in my upper lash line, gentle smudged out to create a subtle smoky line. This creamy dark brown pencil is super-soft and blendable, with absolutely no dragging, so it's great for creating a smudgy look (rather than a crisp line). It also works really well in the waterline. My eyes were finished with a coat of the Sunkissed Curl & Flex Waterproof Mascara, which, although fairly basic, did the job well, lengthening and defining my lashes without setting super-hard and crumbly. The two items that I probably won't use much are the Pippa of London Defining Lip Liner and Supermatte Lipstick, purely because I hardly ever wear lip products. However, I was impressed by how soft, creamy and non-drying they were. A quick mist of the Brushworks Dewy Fine Mist Setting Spray (which is very fine) and I was ready to go. At the end of the day I took it all off with the Pixi EOD Cleansing Oil from the box, which quickly melted away my eye make-up without any need for rubbing or scrubbing. For me, the highlights inside this OK! Beauty Box are definitely the luxe skincare, but I was also really impressed with the Rodial blush and the mascara. Overall, I was super-happy with the end look at the top of this page, and with the addition of just a few other make-up staples, found everything I need to do my make-up in this box – and all for £55. However, if you're not a big fan of make-up, this box might not be for you as over half of the products are make-up items. You might be more interested in a skincare-focused box like Lookfantastic's The Skin Renewal Edit, which is valued at £210 but costs £45, or the Boots X Supergoop! Beauty Bag Edit, priced at £44 but worth over £90 (we've reviewed this one here).

But despite her very long time being a movie star, she has revealed how people tend to get her name wrong. Kirsten also revealed how Brits are the worst for it. The Hollywood star said she has answered to everything including "criss-ten", "ker-stin". In a TikTok video from Town and Country magazine, she said: "I mean, everyone messes up my name, so I give up. "I don't care… I don't blame people. Like in England, they don't really say my name right. "The last set, everyone was saying my name wrong. There was like Swedish people and people from Hungary. You just give up." Kirsten then confirmed the correct way to say her name is, "Keer-sten". However, poking fun at her annoyance, she added: "But again, who cares? It's fine." Fans were left bowled over by this revelation, and one commented: "Omg I thought it was 'Ker-stin' my whole life!"

This one joked; "'Omg she's the reason everyone mispronounces my name. It's 'Kur-sten'." This isn't the first time that Kirsten has talked about what people call her. She previously revealed the nickname she had on the set of the Spider-Man films which she shot in the noughties - and she DID NOT like it. In the trilogy - which ran from 2022 until 2007 - she played Mary Jane Watson alongside Tobey Maguire's Peter Parker. However, whilst filming the blockbuster movies she was given a nickname. Speaking to Marie Claire magazine: "It was a joke, but on Spider-Man, they would call me 'girly-girl' sometimes on the walkie-talkie. "But I never said anything … Like, don't call me that." Speaking about the era in which it happened, Kirsten said: '"You didn't say anything (then). You just took it."

Primark describes the Trapeze Barn Jacket as a brown jacket with a cord collar and trapeze fit. The product description says: "Layer up with this barn-style jacket in a rich brown shade.

The khaki jacket is available in sizes XS and XL, and it's available for click and collect from Primark's website.
