This season, I’ve switched up my beloved denim cut-offs for a longer style - enter the Jort.
I love F&F jeans, so it only seemed fitting to give their bargain £18 pair a whirl - and I’m so glad I did, as I love them!
They’re just as comfortable as my trusty jeans and look so stylish when dressed up with a crisp white blazer.
M&S stores are rammed with tons of sizes of all its stock, because of its online struggles, so it’s never been a better time to shop in-person.
It was love at first sight with this blazer, and I know I’ll wear it hundreds of times throughout the summer, to work or on holiday.
I’ve paired them with these heels I already have in my wardrobe that are comfortable for the nine-to-five (trust me!), and this designer-inspired bag from H&M makes an effortlessly summery look.
Finally, I’ll add a flash of colour with this stunning Abbott Lyon jade green necklace.

Gone are the days when I used to pull out my very short denim shorts for the summer - these days, I’m all about the longer length.
Which is why the Bermuda style is great for me.
I love this belted yellow pair from & Other Stories - not only is pale yellow one of the big colours this season, but the belt also gives me some extra shape at the waist.
While these shorts are fairly smart, I’ve made the look a little more casual with a graphic T-shirt (this one is a bargain at just £12.99) and some flat fisherman sandals.
With an extra pop of print thanks to this Damson Madder leopard bag and a pair of sunnies, this is a look I’ll be wearing on repeat all summer long.

I love a tailored short suit for when the soars in the city, because it is the perfect alternative to a trouser suit.
This summer, it’s all about Bermuda shorts - a longer, baggier style than I am used to, but I definitely want to give them a go.
While in my head I dream of being that cool COS model who wears their Bermudas low-slung and skater style, the fact is that my mum-tum will pop over the top, which is so not cool!
So, I have gone for a smarter option.
These long-line pleated shorts give great coverage around my waistline, plus they feel office-appropriate because of the longer length.
I’ve teamed the suit with buttermilk accessories and a pair of Le Specs sunnies.
Summer in the city? Bring it on!

I’ve enjoyed wearing Bermuda shorts in my workwear wardrobe for a couple of years now, and recently I switched them in for my denim pair while on .
If you’re yet to try the trend and don’t want to spend a fortune, this cream pair from Edit range is under £20.
The shorts are super-versatile and come complete with pockets and belt loops.
I’ve styled them with this gorgeous printed shirt from H&M, matching beaded earrings and a raffia bag, plus some sandals that you could easily swap for gold heels in the evening.
See you at the airport!
