Model-turned-photographer shoots subjects under UV light to reveal shocking sun damage

The hidden imperfections strewn across peoples' faces due to sun exposure have been revealed in an illuminating photo series.
New York-based model-turned-photographer, Cara Phillips used ultraviolet light to show the age spots that would otherwise go unnoticed under the guise of a healthy tan.
Inspired by medical photos from doctors' offices and websites, Ms Phillips invited her subjects to keep their eyes closed for her somewhat sobering black and white portraits.

Rock Rihanna for River Island à la Ola

We aren't used to seeing professional dancer Ola Jordan off the Strictly dancefloor and without her customary sequins, but here she proves she is just as show stopping on a dress-down day. We love that she has opted for chic black and white, matching those covetable Chanel shopping bags she is clutching to her print scarf which is by Rihanna for River Island.

Ola is the latest of a whole host of celebrities to rock Rihanna's River Island designs - only yesterday we spotted Perrie Edwards top-to-toe clad in new season RiRi, adding herself to the list of Cara Delevingne, Rita Ora, The Saturdays, Helen Flanagan, and of course, Rihanna herself.

We love the so-called Occult print, which was available in a dress, leggings and this scarf that Ola is sporting. The zebra-style print hits the monochrome trend head-on and it is the perfect statement piece to add to any outfit.

Since everything Rihanna touches turns to gold, getting hold of one of these scarves is now like gold dust, and although Ola's scarf was taken from the Autumn collection, it is unfortunately now sold out. But to get your fix, the Winter collection hits stores later in November and you can pre-order pieces by clicking the link (right). And if you can't wait that long, look to the five fantastic alternatives we have found for you instead (below).

Show your love for the slogan in Zoe Karssen

Slogans may have been everywhere this year, but here Kate Beckinsale shows us that the off-duty staple is still a hot commodity in her 'Army Of Lovers' design by Zoe Karssen. The cool brand have gained quite the celebrity cult following with everyone from Kristen Stewart to Alexa Chung to Mila Kunis favoring their laid-back luxe pieces. But luckily you don't need a designer budget to rock the trend.

The Karssen line offers simple, easy to wear pieces at affordable prices so if you want to add a quirky staple to your off-duty capsule collection then head to their website direct or check out ASOS and Matches. While we've loved the simple white T-shirt for all eternity, we think a subtle slogan just gives the classic a bit of an edge.

If you want to say what's on your mind too then shop our pick of similar styles below from the likes of Topshop and ASOS where a cool T-shirt will cost between £16-£18. Wear yours with skinny black jeans and biker boots for off-duty model vibes.

Steal the show in a fur stole like Holly's

It isn't only a tendency to stick out their tongues that Holly Willoughby and Miley Cyrus have in common. Clearly, they both love faux fur too - just check out Holly in her hot collar here.
While the rest of us have turned to wellies, thermals and frankly, all the layers we've got left in our wardrobes to get us through the freezing cold weather this week, Holly is a lesson in how to wrap up warm the glamorous way. Her super chic bright white fur stole is the Toscana style by Gushlow & Cole and we love it.
As she shows here, a cosy collar can completely transform a winter coat, making it look like a new addition to your collection altogether. In fact, Holly has been wearing this stole for years and we've hardly even noticed it's been the same piece all the time. It's like getting a coat and scarf all in one!
Steal Holly's style by clicking the link to the Gushlow & Cole website (right) now. Or go with the faux fur flow on the high street, where many of the best winter warmers are even now reduced. This Asos style is our favourite, or put your own twist on things in a snood from River Island.
