Help! I'm almost 6ft tall – how do I find trousers long enough?
PROBLEM 'I'm very tall and only seem able to shop for long trousers online, which means I can't tell the quality or try them on. I need ideas for stores that cater to women like me.' SOLUTION While dresses can fall to almost any length and still look stylish, trousers are much harder to pull off when you're tall. Nobody wants them flapping around their ankles. My advice would be to look for stores that offer Tall ranges: Karen Millen, New Look and M&S are all great places to start. VERDICT 'These trousers are fab – I feel so stylish in them. They're comfy and ideal for everything from a summer BBQ to a fancy dinner. I couldn't be happier!'

10 cool summer buys under £140
When the sun is shining and the heat is overwhelming, keep things simple with graphic prints and a monochromatic palette. H&M's shirt and shorts co-ord (Nos 2 and 3) is a foolproof way to look pulled together while keeping cool. Layer over a bikini and wear it with some flip-flops for the beach, or team with leather ballet flats and some bold earrings for the city. If even a co-ord feels like too much effort, Mint Velvet (No 1) and Cos (No 5) have nailed the waisted striped dress. Whatever you choose, don't forget to accessorise. Sunglasses, while hiding the after-effects of a sleepless night in the heat, also add acres of polish and style to any outfit. Try something that makes a subtle statement to help lift even the most basic combo. I'm taken with this style from Massimo Dutti (No 6): they will look great on faces with sharp features. 1. £130, 2.

It was also claimed that the billionaire confirmed both he and Lauren are legally married and that they have signed a prenuptial agreement as well.
