The Return of Denim

Gucci

Tommy Hilfiger

This summer, the fashion industry is all over denim. On the S/S 2015 catwalk, the likes of Burberry and Gucci demonstrated just how denim should be worn- but that doesn't mean you can't rock it too. Having spent a few hours longer than I probably should have internet-shopping this week, I have selected my top picks on what you should be wearing this season.

Fendi

Burberry

Perhaps my favourite find of all is this gorgeous shift dress. Paired with some boots and a flower headband, this dress would be perfect for one of this summer's festivals.

Monki: Stella Denim Dress, £30

You can simply never go wrong with a shirt. Wear as a jacket, tuck into a skirt or just wear with a pair of leggings, the probability of buying a denim shirt and regretting it is very, very unlikely.

TopShop: MOTO Fitted Western Shirt, £29

Arguably the most popular choice of denim attire at the moment is this skirt, with buttons lined down the front. It's smart, it's cute- it can be worn to have any effect you so desire. A serious must-buy.

Cooperative by Urban Outfitters: A-Line

Denim Skirt in Blue, £39

Just look how adorable this playsuit is. Wearing this with a massive, floppy hat, sunnies and some gladiators could win you the look of the summer.

New Look: Light Blue Denim Roll Sleeve Playsuit, £22.99

This sweet bra-and-skirt combo is the epitome of festival fashion. Nobody wants to feel too restrained in their summer clothes, and this outfit will provide the coolness you need on a sweltering summer day (that's if these days even exist in the UK...)

Monki: Denim Bra Top, £20 and Midi Denim Skirt, £25

Last, but by no means least, is this incredible denim boilersuit. Not only a winner for this season, this all-in-one will never look dated, and can also be worn in any season without a problem.

TopShop: MOTO Indigo Utility Boilersuit, £65

Accomplishments.

Summer is well and truly over. In fact, it had ended over a month ago, but only in the past week have I fully accepted that the weeks of going out in just a t-shirt and shorts are finished for the year. To say that my summer was an adventure would be an understatement. Interrailing across Europe, flying out of the continent for the first time and getting a place at university... These past three months have been simply unbelievable. As I closed that Mathematics exam paper for the last time on 24th June 2016, I had little idea that my summer would be the whirlwind that it was. One week on, and I had flown to the Netherlands for the beginning of eighteen days of walking 30,000 steps a day, train journeys and simply incredible sights. Four weeks on, and I had flown to New York City for, undoubtedly, my greatest holiday. Five weeks on, and I had flown inter-continent to the Sun State of Florida. Seven weeks on, and I had received my A-Level results, which I was fortunately absolute...

Interview with ‘Sick’ scriptwriter and performer Shey Hargreaves

From hunting down a patient’s lost teeth to witnessing someone turn down potentially life-saving treatment, scriptwriter Shey Hargeaves’ experience of working for the NHS was eye-opening to say the least. Reflecting on her time in a hospital, Shey shares tales of resilience and humour in her hour-long show Sick . “It’s scary!” Shey exclaims as I ask what it has been like leading a one-woman show for the first time. “You're totally on your own out there. But, it's quite nice because you're in control. That means you can play off the audience more. I think that makes for quite a warm, responsive kind of show.” The stories behind Sick are authentic accounts from the four-year period Shey spent within the NHS. Having completed a Master’s in Scriptwriting at the University of East Anglia, Shey was looking to find work when she came across a receptionist position for an Emergency Medical Assessment Unit in 2013. “If I had to be in a reasonably low-paid job and pay t...

Interrail 2016: LAKE BLED

Our longest journey by far turned out to be well worth the pain. Although it was nine hours long and we waited for the wrong bus in Bled for over an hour, we had a Harry Potter compartment and we arrived at our destination- Lake Bled, Slovenia. What a place. We lobbed our bags into the lockers at our hostel and immediately went on the hunt for a restaurant to eat at (nine hours of travelling can certainly work up an appetite). Pizzeria Rustica served us enormous pizzas and also some pizza-burgers, which are basically burgers with pizza dough for bread. According to my friends, pizza-burgers are something that should be brought to our hometown. As it was relatively late by the time we had finished, we only had time to walk to the lake itself before getting to bed. On arrival, we had been asked by the hostel whether we were there more for the night life or nature. Considering the fact that we were deprived of at least 20 hours sleep, we went for nature, rejecting ...
