From taking 3-5 working days to recover from Stranger Things Season 4 Volume II to unapologetically planning your life around Love Island, here’s 20 things to do in July. 

1. Pitch up a tent in your back garden just to feel something. Those Glasto blues have hit you hard. This time last week you were living off cider, glitter and crisps. You are a shell of humanity and everyone will hear about it. 

2. Walk into your group gym class and break into an immediate sweat when you realise you...

If luck’s on your side, living with strangers turns out to be the best serendipitous experience ever. You’re thrown together and as fate would have it, you’re inseparable, these are your people. You are the chosen ones, living your best Everything I Know About Love lives. 

But for the poor unfortunate souls cooped up with the flatmate who will no doubt be the subject of a viral docu-series in years to come, home isn’t always sweet. 

Whether you’ve lived in halls and survived to tell the ta...

The female gaze: A feminist theory term representing the gaze of the female spectator, character or director of an artistic work. The female gaze is not about banning sex, desire and fantasies, but about showing that these can exist without objectification.

Meet Libby Cooper, 19-year-old nude photographer and creator of the Born To Be Nude project- a series dedicated to creating a safe space to celebrate nudity without being sexualised. Libby’s art aims to change...

Choosing a fragrance- perhaps one of the most personal selections you can make when it comes to stepping out of the door and presenting yourself in a way that feels like ‘you’. Arguably more memorable than your outfit choice or new red lip, a fragrance reaches everyone around you differently, leaving a lasting impression and even triggering old memories upon smelling it again- it’s safe to say, scent matters.

Signature scent: a fragrance one always wears, so much so that it comes to represent...

Gorgeous, gorgeous girls eat carbs all summer long and live every day like it’s their Positano last. 

June had us all thinking summer had got lost in the Hermes post but now we’ve had at least two whole consecutive days of sunshine (no one make any sudden movements), it’s time to dust off the salad tongs, jet wash the patio and nip round to the neighbours to warn them about the gathering that will no doubt start off as a civilised al fresco dinner with friends but descend into open air, rose-...

5 minutes to leave. A spritz of perfume, a slick of a well loved lipstick and a last minute fastening of that necklace- jewellery is so often a last minute addition to our outfits, but more often than not is integral in taking your look from incomplete to effortlessly chic with a few small tweaks. 

And whilst jewellery might feel like one of the most classic styling tools of all, 2022 has shown that even the most traditional of accessories can have its moment in the world of micro trends. Fro...

As much as an excessively bubbly bubble bath and face mask can be all you need to solve the minor hiccups in your week, it’s worth remembering that self-care, at its core, is far more than a glass of wine on a Wednesday to keep you ticking over. Self-care is the boring, menial, adult things you don’t want to do but that actually make the biggest difference to your wellbeing and mental clarity. It’s keeping yourself afloat so you don’t reach the feeling of drowning nearly as often. It’s taking th...

After the unprecedented chaos of the last two years – most of which was spent in and out of lockdown, social distancing and working remotely – many of us couldn’t wait to re-enter society and dance in a drunken circle, draped over our bezzie pals again but whilst some of us found returning to normal exhilarating after being cooped up for so long, others felt anxious about jumping straight back into social gatherings and face-to-face interaction again. 

Whether you were familiar with social an...

England- you’re bloody beautiful in the sunshine.

It might have taken a hot (read: wet) second to get rolling, but summer is well and truly here, and who else is feeling all the more joyful for it?! Whether you’re most excited for the festivals and live music that are filling your calendar as the weeks go on, or for the chance to rock bare legs on a daily basis, dressing for the summer months offers the chance for some well-needed laid-back, fun and easygoing styling that has you wondering if...
