4) heritage fabrics 5) layering<br />
Believe it or not her Majesty<br />
the Queen has been at<br />
the forefront of designer’s<br />
inspiration this season.<br />
Heritage tweed you would<br />
expect to see on the<br />
Balmoral estate has been<br />
dusted off and worked into<br />
Eighties proportions at Marc<br />
Jacobs and sexy tailored skirts<br />
suits nipped in at the waist at<br />
Alessandra Rich.<br />
STYLE TIP:<br />
Wear tweed with<br />
anything from<br />
coloured opaques<br />
to nineties<br />
inspired sheer<br />
black tights.<br />
Whether it’s a sheer<br />
black body at Alexander<br />
Wang layered under a<br />
tweed biker jacket or<br />
a longline shirt and<br />
skirt over trousers at<br />
Gucci, the buzz word<br />
around layering was<br />
protection. Layer up<br />
correctly and there’s no<br />
way you’ll feel the chill<br />
this winter.<br />
STYLE TIP:<br />
Wear Spanx arm<br />
tights under your<br />

look whist keeping you<br />
warm.<br />

interview<br />
Worklife<br />
Kate Shapland<br />
We meet Legology founder Kate Shapland to discuss work, life and her<br />
tips on getting the perfect pins<br />
Why did you set up legology?<br />
I developed Legology because I’m on<br />
a personal crusade to give us happier,<br />
healthier legs. I felt consumers were being<br />
shortchanged because the only offerings<br />
were cellulite creams that seemed to be a<br />
bit of an afterthought. I wanted to develop<br />
a dependable brand that worked really well<br />
and felt wonderful too.<br />
What were you doing before legology?<br />
Until I developed Legology, and in fact for<br />
quite a while after I launched the brand, I<br />
worked as a beauty writer. I had a very<br />
good overview of the market and what was<br />
18.<br />
missing from it. My last job in journalism was<br />
as beauty editor of the Telegraph Magazine,<br />
and this gave me the best insight of all<br />
because I felt very in tune with the reader<br />
and understood what she wanted to find on<br />
the beauty pages and counters.<br />
What is the secret to launching your own<br />
beauty brand?<br />
Not to overthink anything to begin with and<br />
not to compromise. Just be 100% in love<br />
with what you are developing and crack on<br />
with it. The digital age has, in many ways,<br />
made it easier to launch a beauty brand. But<br />
it isn’t the whole solution. You still need
esources and cash flow is grim - the digital<br />
revolution hasn’t done away with any of<br />
those traditional stumbling blocks.<br />
Which other women in business inspire you?<br />
I’m inspired by women who are positive,<br />
have lots of interests, are courageous and<br />
have great individual style, whether they’re<br />
in business or not.<br />
Where is home?<br />
I live in west London, near the Thames.<br />
What is your favourite way to relax?<br />
Walking and gardening. They’re both great<br />
at clearing your head and it’s good to get<br />
your fingernails dirty.<br />
What is your morning beauty routine?<br />
Breakfast for my scottie dogs and coffee in<br />
bed for me. Shower, application of Legology<br />
Air-Lite, my hero deep drainage cream and<br />
a walk along the river. When I get home I’ll<br />
have a bowl of natural yoghurt with oat bran<br />
in it and crack on with the day. Sometimes,<br />
however, I do none of this and stay in bed<br />
working and then get up and have a French<br />
breakfast. It’s all about balance!<br />
What would be your one tip for women who<br />
are self-conscious of their legs?<br />
Try body brushing every day for a week and<br />
see how much better it makes you feel about<br />
your legs. This is an incredibly simple task,<br />
requiring minimal input for maximum results<br />
- pinkness and tone that makes legs look<br />
100% better instantly. All you need to do<br />
is brush in quick flicks all over your body - it<br />
shouldn’t take more than a minute, and you<br />
can brush your skin when it’s dry, wet (in the<br />
shower) or damp (after a shower) - it really<br />
doesn’t matter as long as you do it.<br />
Competition<br />
Enter for your chance to win a<br />
fabulous Legology experience! You<br />
could win the full Legology range as<br />
well as a signature leg contouring<br />
treatment to enjoy from the comfort<br />

Flesh coloured hosiery is back<br />

Duchess of Sussex, Meghan<br />

How To Have Summer Ready <strong>Legs</strong> All Year Round<br />
The pre-summer panic of having to ditch our trusty opaque<br />
tights in the heat is all too familiar but creating new daily<br />
beauty habits will give you perfect pins all year round.<br />
SCRUB<br />
Once or twice a week apply Vita<br />
Liberata’s Super Fine Exfoliating<br />
Tan Prep to dry skin before having<br />
a shower. The soothing mix of<br />
beeswax, sweet almond and<br />
walnut have skin smoothing and<br />
body-contouring benefits that<br />
are not only anti-inflammatory<br />
but restore elasticity and lock in<br />
moisture for up to 72 hours.<br />
Vita Liberata Super Fine Exfoliating<br />
Tan Preparation, £12.50<br />
NOURISH FROM WITHIN<br />
The skin tone of your legs often<br />
reflects what you are putting into<br />
your body. Simply drinking at least<br />
2 litres of water<br />
a day will not<br />
only reduce<br />
your calorie<br />
intake but also<br />
help flush all the<br />
toxins through<br />
your body.<br />
30.
Work on your tan<br />
Giving your legs a subtle<br />
golden glow in the winter<br />
months is a great way to<br />
feel more confident. Vita<br />
Liberata’s Fabulous Self<br />
Tanning Gradual Lotion<br />
slowly builds as you apply<br />
it to give a sun kissed<br />
glow. This organic self<br />
tanner locks in moisture<br />
to make sure it fades back<br />
to nothing when you stop<br />
using it.<br />
VITA LIBERATA Fabulous Self<br />
Tanning Gradual Lotion, £15<br />
Hydrate<br />
One of the easiest ways to have smoother<br />
looking legs is to keep them hydrated.<br />
Apply moisturiser every morning as soon<br />
as you get out of the shower to get you<br />
into a routine. In the coldest months apply<br />
before bed focusing on dry patches such as<br />
knees and cracked heels.<br />
Legology’s Air-Lite Daily<br />
Lift is a powerful diuretic<br />
cream which helps contour<br />
your legs, enhance<br />
hydration and discourage<br />
cellulite.<br />

of the hotel’s 3 bars, opens onto the hotel’s<br />
highly Instagrammable central courtyard with<br />

and is a must see. The cocktails are pretty too.<br />

THE HOTEL<br />
Artist Residence, Bristol<br />
Justin and Charlie Salisbury have been carving<br />
quite a name for themselves in the UK<br />
travel industry with their chain of bohemian<br />
boutique hotels. It all began with a townhouse<br />
hotel in Brighton in 2008, with the couple<br />
recently opening their fourth outpost in rural<br />
Oxfordshire. A fifth Artist Residence will<br />
follow in Bristol in 2019 complete with their<br />
