health & fitness Make way for McCartney Whether you are training for a 10K marathon or toning for your summer holiday already, staying fashionable in the gym is a must. And looking at the S/S14 collections, it seems there is one designer that will never run out of style. Stella McCartney’s new collection for Adidas showcases an eclectic array of colours, from vivid orange and white to signature-Stella dusty rose and maroon. Inspired by urban landscapes and the hues and dimensions of a skyline, futuristic lines meet retro colour blocking for running and cycling, alongside more simple and relaxed pieces in her yoga series. The entire range is sustainable, made from organic cotton and recycled yarn, using dry-dye technology in an effort to reduce surplus waste – a McCartney ethic that will always be in vogue.

The Bamford way of life Purely English, home-grown luxury: Bamford’s bath and body collection confirms that eco-friendly, natural living can be glamorous, too. Nature meets contemporary cosmetic science in the range of pure essential oil blends
made entirely from organic ingredients. Part of Lady Bamford’s ecological and holistic living empire, designed for women like herself with a hectic business and social life, she recognises the importance of finding time to slow down. Our personal favourite product (now available on Net-a-Porter) is the Botanic Facial Oil, which we plaster over our cleansed and toned skin every night before bed. For a real taste of green indulgence, the Bamford Haybarn wellness retreat in the Cotswolds is just an hour and a half from London: bring home an incense, rock rose and amber scented candle, and you can feel bam-tastic every day.
Inch by inch With a six-inch instant loss guarantee, we have to tell you now that the Universal Contour Wrap treatment at Beauty Rose is not exactly a pleasurable experience. But quite frankly, who cares? For anyone determined to lose those all-important stubborn inches, the clay formula and special wrapping techniques tighten and tone the body while exfoliating and cleansing the skin. What’s more, the effects last for at least 30 days, and you can get your lashes permed while you lie there.
