  • Style Inspo: Fashion Dilemmas: Answering The Office's Burning Fashion Questions
    Dec 23 2025

    This week, we're switching things up a little... we've gone around the Mamamia office to find out exactly what fashion problems are keeping the team up at night. Tamara Holland and Lucinda Pikkat are answering them all.

    Ever wondered where fashion people actually get their inspiration? Hint: It’s not just doom-scrolling Instagram. Tam and Lucinda are opening up their little black book of resources, from the app that acts like a "fashion bible" to the Substack newsletters that predict trends before they happen. We're getting into which undies work best under those tricky slip skirts and which shoes you could walk all day in that aren't just a pair of sneakers.

    Lucinda's Budget: Havaiana's Slim Square Solid $44.99

    Tam's Budget: Ceres Life Mila Short $59.99

    Lucinda's Boujie: Angus The Label Ti Amo Silk Scarf $109.95

    Tam's Boujie: Morrison Marnie Anglaise Shirt $299.00

  • WELL: Are Injectables Making You Look Older?
    Dec 19 2025

    When do ‘preventative’ injections cross the line and start making you look older? Can wearing a bra to bed really prevent sagging? And do you need to see a gynaecologist if you've never had sex?

    In this episode, we speak to Consultant Dermatologist and Specialist Cosmetic Injector, Dr Cara McDonald to get the truth about anti-ageing, skincare ingredients and cosmetic procedures. She gives her expert rating (out of 10) for the most popular skincare ingredients - from your hyaluronic acids to your retinoids - and if they’re really that great in the fight against ageing.

    We cover everything from why the operator is more important than the device, the dangers of over-filling and when removing all movement from your face can actually backfire…

    Dr Mariam breaks down the serious risks of ‘cosmetic tourism’, the differences between a ‘Plastic Surgeon’ and ‘cosmetic surgeon’ and how to identify a properly credentialed practitioner.

    Plus, we settle the "to bra in bed or not to bra in bed" debate, and whether it has any proven impact on sagging.

    And, in our quick consult, Dr Mariam answers a listener’s question about whether you still need to see that doctor if you've never done the deed.

  • Style Inspo: Thrifting Secrets For Finding Designer Gems & The 20-Year Rule
    Dec 17 2025

    We've all been there: you walk into a vintage store, feel instantly overwhelmed by the "dress uppy" costumes and confusing eras, and leave with nothing. This week, Leigh is talking to vintage expert Tara Rowe, owner of the viral vintage wedding dress store Call Me The Breeze, about how to actually succeed at secondhand shopping.

    Tara explains why the secret isn't thrifting (which involves rummaging), but finding curated resellers who act as your personal "conduit" for the good stuff. She shares her tips for finding sellers who match your niche, why 90s fashion is the most in-demand era, and why there’s nothing cooler than saying "Oh, this? It's vintage."

    EVERYTHING MENTIONED:

    Leigh's Boujie: Vintage Gold Event Dress

    Tara's Boujie: Love Well Sourced

    Leigh's Budget: Vintage White Blouse

    Tara's Budget: Dillon Store

  • Primer That Lasts & Leigh's Eyelash Masterclass
    Dec 14 2025
    This episode is a gift to your face! It's the grand finale, the last Q&A of the year is officially HERE! We're unleashing the essential, non-negotiable party hacks you need to conquer the holidays including a detailed eyelash curler masterclass where Leigh passionately defends the tool (even admitting she'd take it to Survivor!), and reveals her three-step technique for a perfect, breakage-free curl and naming the heroes worth your cash. Plus, we're settling a major listener debate: Do those added skincare ingredients in primers (yes, looking at you, Go-To and E.l.f.) actually do anything when they're layered over your full routine? They can't hurt, but can they help? And finally, Kelly drops some top-tier festive tips, including how to use boob tape for that perfect lift in any plunge dress and a genius hack using eyeshadow primer to stop face sweat—because we schvitz! In the Beauty Edit, Cass and Taylor unpack the seriously polarising choice of Cloud Dancer as the Pantone Colour of the Year 2026, and break down the blockbuster lawsuit where Sol de Janeiro is suing E.l.f.
