Slouchy is the new streamlined

Ditch anything sleek, structured or streamlined – slouchy is fashion's favourite new silhouette. Look for soft fabrications, fluid shapes and an overall more comfortable fit. Pants are worn low on the hip, boyfriend-style, sleeves are pushed up, and collars popped for instant chic. Add weight with heavy statement jewellery, some height with a heel, and rein in all that slouchiness with a slinky hip belt.

Bulletproof Coffee

Butter with your daily grind for better overall health? Absolutely, according to the creator of Bulletproof Coffee, Dave Asprey. Not only does unsalted, grass-fed butter and extract of coconut oil in your morning brew apparently make it taste better, it also assists in weight loss, increases brain activity and curbs the appetite. Asprey experienced mental and physical transformations after sipping traditional yak-butter tea in Tibet, and created his own recipe and accompanying blog that soon had fellow coffee addicts reconsidering their morning brew. He has since had over two million people log onto his website, bulletproofexec, for the recipe, his own brand of ground coffee beans, and newly released lifestyle tome, The Bulletproof Diet.

AdvertisementProsecco

Champagne's cool little sister, prosecco, is fast becoming Wine Time's favourite aperitif. From Northern Italy, and made from the prosecco or glera grape, it tastes delicate like Champagne, but lighter, sweeter and less bubbly, making it an easy quaffer. The ideal mixer and perfect go-to fizz come cocktail hour, try it with fresh fruit purees and light spirits, or as a base for classic drinks like Sangria or the Bellini.

Next-to-nothing makeup

When Marc Jacobs sent his models down the runway sans cosmetics, no makeup became the hot new makeup trend. While not a difficult look to pull off for your average 20-something model, similar results can be achieved by real women who prefer a slick of something. Often confused for a no-maintenance beauty routine, it is simply low-maintenance, consisting of a touch of concealer, blush, a swipe of mascara and a tinted lip gloss for extra polish.

Rabbit

While some might consider rabbit a boutique meat, many are hailing it a super food due to its wide range of health benefits and versatility. Mild in flavour, though slightly gamier than chicken, it is rich in iron, low in saturated fat and easily digested, making bunny an ideal meat choice for health-conscious carnivores. Traditionally used in rich dishes, rabbit is in fact just as versatile as chicken, and delicious roasted, grilled, braised or slow cooked.

A little bang bang on the side

While last year's haute sauce, sriracha, can now be found on nearly every posh nosh menu on the planet, there is a new, sexier sauce hot on its heels. Bang bang, a sweet and sour condiment with a salty kick, is made from hot chillies, fish sauce, garlic, lime juice, and coriander. Like sriracha, it is a sublime dipping sauce, but is equally good as a marinade for meats.

Hair embellishments

With Dolce & Gabbana and Karl Lagerfeld both giving them the nod, elaborate headpieces and luxe hair embellishments are fashion's new-season accessory go-to. If throwing on a crown each morning isn't quite your style, turn to accessory designers like Jennifer Behr, Peris Atkinson and Eugenia Kim whose embellished combs, jewelled headbands and crystal hair slides make for more wearable options.
