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!!!"

Ashley Tisdale fans can't figure out what she has done to her face during rare sighting in Malibu
Ashley Tisdale fans could not figure out why she looked so different in recent photos as they took to X to discuss her metamorphosis. The images were taken while the High School Musical actress stepped out in Malibu on Monday. The 40-year-old actress was makeup-free with her hair down as she dressed casually in a black T-shirt paired with oversize, blue jean overalls. 'She might just look different because she gave the glam team the day off,' wrote one fan as another chimed in, 'Day off from the paint.' Others thought maybe she had just gotten lip filler: 'Bigger lips, went to doc,' remarked a fan. Several came to her defense adding, 'She looks great with no makeup on, good for her, a natural beauty' and 'Leave her alone, she is perfect.' Ashley Tisdale fans could not figure out why she looked so different in recent photos as they took to X to discuss her metamorphosis. The images were taken while the High School Musical actress stepped out in Malibu on Monday This comes after the mother-of-two — who shares daughters Jupiter Iris, four, and Emerson Clover, 10 months, with her husband Christopher French — made a surprising revelation about her beliefs surrounding aging a few months ago. In late April, she shared a TikTok video of herself with an age filter on her face to make herself appear older. Alongside the video, she explained that she used to think she'd look a lot older at age 40 than how she looks now. 'Almost 40 and still feeling 25,' she wrote in the caption of the clip. Over the video, she said herself with and without the filter represented 'how I thought I'd look at 40 versus how I actually look.' Many fans were left in disbelief as they shared their reactions in the comments. The general consensus was shock that she is 40 as many assumed she was much younger. Earlier this year, Tisdale also revealed why she was drawing back her social media presence and becoming more private with her personal life compared to the past. This comes shortly after the High School Musical alum left her fans in disbelief over her appearance when she made a surprising revelation when she put a filter over herself in a TikTok video In a since-deleted Instagram Story from February, the former Disney star said she felt the need to separate her private life from social media because of her young children. The High School Musical star also blamed digital spaces for being dominated by and cultivating 'judgment' and 'assumptions.' 'As the world is getting loud, I find myself wanting to share less and less,' she shared. 'Maybe it's because I don't feel I can contribute in my positive way when everything feels so negative.' The mother-of-two — who shares daughters Jupiter, three, and Emerson, five months, with husband Christopher French — said her decision was prompted by attempts 'to protect my peace while navigating life with work and kids.' 'I've been loving putting my phone down and being in the moment,' the Disney Channel alum added. 'Social media is such a blessing when you want to connect with everyone but can also be so noisy when used with judgment and assumptions,' she finished the lengthy note.

I've lost 5 stone in 6 months on Mounjaro - but now I'm unable to do this common beauty ritual
A woman who lost five stone in six months after taking Mounjaro has shared the negative effects of the rapid weight loss - including being unable to perform one very common beauty ritual. Emilly Jane, from Liverpool, has racked up an impressive 70,000 combined followers on TikTok and Instagram after sharing details of her weight loss while on Mounjaro. She is pleased with her progress, and regularly posts 'before and after' pictures comparing herself prior to losing weight and now - after shedding more than 11 stone, or close to 70 kg. But Emilly told her followers there are downsides to the drug that 'no one talks about'. In a candid video, she said: 'I've lost 11 st 4 lbs and I've lost 5 st 2 lbs of that in 28 weeks on Mounjaro. 'Number one is: your brain doesn't catch up with how others are seeing you. 'So, it's taken my head a lot longer to accept that that's me. I still look at pictures and think "Oh my goodness, who's that?"' It's true that people who experience rapid weight loss in a relatively short time period struggle to adjust to the social conventions of their new weight. On top of this, looking so drastically different can create dissonance between how people perceive themselves, and how they actually look and are treated. 'It's very, very strange and hard to navigate,' continued Emilly, before moving on to the next after effect. 'I am now visible to other people,' she said. 'Certain types of people as well, and I don't like it.' Likely alluding to men who display a romantic interest in her, Emilly joked: 'I would like an invisibility cloak back, please, which is what I had when I was bigger. 'I don't like it. Stop looking at me and interacting with me - I am socially awkward.' A surprising item on Emilly's cons list was her sudden inability to perform a very common beauty ritual - shaving her underarms. 'I can no longer shave my armpits with ease,' she said. 'If you see red marks under my arms in my pictures and videos, just mind your business.' Although it sounds unusual underarms typically become hollow or concave after weight loss, making it much harder to find a smooth surface to shave on. Those who have gone from overweight to comparatively skinny have actually reported more difficulty shaving in other areas after they become bonier - like the knees and ankles. Emilly said: 'Having loose skin makes it really, really difficult to set a "goal" and feel "happy" at a "goal weight". It's a nightmare.' She said people now comment on her weight more than they ever have in her life. Fed up with the interference, she added: 'Apparently, it's up to everybody else to choose a goal for me and tell me that it's time to stop.' Of her new-found boniness, Emilly said: 'Lying in the bath is no longer comfortable. There appears to be hard things that stick into the bath. I don't like it.' Lastly, the Mounjaro-user noted the vast amounts she spends on clothing, only to render them unwearable by shedding even more weight, and being unsure how to dress herself. 'I still have a mental breakdown every time I get dressed because I've got no identity,' she said. 'I don't know what to wear. I don't know what I can and can't wear, and it's very confusing. 'If you're thinking about starting Mounjaro or you're on a Mounjaro journey, make sure you assess all these things first.' Weight loss drugs have long since been a topic of conversation, but since 'fat jabs' like Ozempic and Mounjaro came on the scene, talk of diet methods has been swirling online. And although the efficacy of natural routes has been called into question, many traditionalists believe taking injections to lose weight is 'cheating' or 'lazy'. A woman who lost four stone without the help of any weight loss drugs has insisted that 'volume eating' is the way to go. Ashleigh Wilson shared her full plate of lunch that included chicken flatbread with vegetables on TikTok, insisting she'd feel 'sickly full' after it. But the 26-year-old from Blackpool claimed that despite the meal being large in size, it was low in calories. The respectable volume also meant that she 'will not be going to that snack cupboard' later as she will not be feeling peckish. The influencer, who once weighed 15st 8lbs, said: 'So I've now lost four stone and if anybody asks me how I did that, I always talk about volume eating. 'This whole plate is 398 calories and just over 40 grams of protein. It's just chicken flatbread and veggies. 'So beetroot, cucumber, tomato, onion and then some chicken breast I seasoned and chopped up and put over it. I will eat this and I will probably feel sickly full after it. 'However, best believe I will not be going to that snack cupboard, and I'll be fine, more than fine, until dinner time. If you want to lose weight, start with volume eating.'

Charlotte Otton: the 10 funniest things I have ever seen (on the internet)
I love internet. I love screen. I love laugh. I'm a certified eight-hour-a-day screen user. I'm like a little iPad kid except I'm a six-foot-two, 31-year-old woman. Getting access to the family computer at 10 years old sparked something in me. It unlocked the deep, dark and wonderful world of the internet and my profound desire to explore every corner of it. Unfortunately for me, my algorithm at the moment is feeding me the worst the internet has to offer. My show I Watched Someone Die on TikTok forces me to watch, save and muse on mostly distressing digital content. Fortunately for you, though, gorgeous internet stranger, this list is all the delightful and joyous things I've witnessed on the internet. Please enjoy my curated list (and then please buy tickets to my show. I promise the show itself is not distressing and is in fact very sexy, fun and fresh.) This is a classic. It's the embodiment of everything going so wrong during a live performance but you having the chutzpah to power through and publicly call out everyone around you for it going downhill.

What we know: AI poses extreme risks to society and humanity. What we also know: when someone puts this AI filter on a dog I immediately feel very good. My friend's dog recently passed and I thought sending her videos of her dog with this filter on it would cheer her up. Again, everyone in my life said no. Fergie has had some iconic live performances (notably the 2018 national anthem performance). For me, this one takes the cake for most insane and most impressive. One of the best Conan segments was getting the sweetest, most polite man alive (Jack McBrayer) and putting him in confrontational situations. This video is peak late night to me. I went to the Wieners Circle in 2015 to see if the staff actually act like this and when I ordered a hotdog they said, 'You want a dick in a bun?'. Being a 20-year-old virgin at the time, the only response I could muster was 'no onions please'. Charlotte Otton is an award-winning theatre maker.
