If there’s one item everyone should have in their wardrobe in the summer, it’s a knee-length denim skirt. It’s versatile and light enough to wear on a hot day while being a great choice with tights when it gets a bit nippy. This one, in particular, proved a popular choice among GTG readers and are we surprised? H&M’s offering has been really impressive this season and at that friendly price, who wouldn’t buy a denim skirt for their mum’s sister’s second cousin’s daughter? Treat everyone, but most importantly, yourself.
Our love of animal print shows no signs of slowing down and right now it's skirts and dresses fronting the trend. Team this with a casual white tee or dress up with a slip blouse for the evening.

Love French pharmacy makeup? We thought so. Vichy’s 16-hour high-coverage foundation is perfect for those who don’t want the faff of reapplying throughout the day. It contains SPF25 and delivers a blurred, velvety veil on the skin. If you want a subtle skin smoother than imitates your skin but makes you look a little bit brighter, then this is for you.

Author Emily Fletcher enjoyed a successful career acting on Broadway until she hit overwhelm. At 26, she started developing grey hairs, anxiety and insomnia. That is until a friend recommended meditation. She tried it and slept soundly for the first time in 18 months. We featured her insights on why meditation is the new caffeine recently, which clearly struck a chord with you. Emily credits meditation with being the most effective productivity tool. We're with her on that (and love that she hasn't totally given up coffee).
