'I'm not an adventurous dresser and it doesn't help that I work in construction, where jeans, a T-shirt and a jacket are smart enough.'
SOLUTION
To add interest to your everyday look while keeping things simple, invest in a few co-ords or one-pieces in a bold print, such as this dress by Farm Rio. It's easy to throw on and does all the talking, so accessories can be more muted. For a fail-safe summer combo, wear with a woven bag and boho sandals.
VERDICT
'I was scared stiff when I saw this outfit, but I love it! I'm definitely going to invest in some more patterned pieces now I know how to style them.'

Sun Savers Editor Lana Clements explains how to get a top deal on items for the garden… You can bag big savings on plants, shrubs and flowers, as well as gardening tools and furniture. Many retailers have flash sales across entire seasonal ranges – often these promotions tie into payday at the end of the month or Bank Holiday weekends, so keep a lookout. Sign up to mailing lists of your favourite brands and you'll be first to know of special offers. It can be worth following retailers on social media too. Use a price comparison site to search out the best value items. And keep a close eye on the specialbuys at Aldi and middle of Lidl drops which drop a couple of times a week and usually mean great value seasonal items for your outdoor areas. If you are not in a hurry to buy an item, try adding it to the shopping cart online and leaving it for a couple of days. Sometimes big brands will try to tempt you into the sale by offering you a discount. And always check if you can get cashback before paying. It's especially worth using sites such as Topcashback, Quidco and app Jamdoughnut when buying bigger ticket items such as garden furniture as you'll get a nice kickback.

Naomi Campbell insists Saudi film producer she has been linked to is more like ‘family' than a BF
wowed in a zebra print ensemble as she enjoyed a ride on a private boat with Mohammed Al Turki on Thursday - after finally explaining their relationship amid years of romance speculation. The supermodel, 55, nailed summer chic in the black and white blouse and trousers, which she teamed with a coordinating sports cap, white miniature purse, and casual sandals. Naomi looked happy and relaxed as she sipped on water while chatting to the film producer amid his birthday celebrations. Meanwhile, Mohammed, who was in town with the model amid the launch party for a Ritz-Carlton Superyacht, kept things casual in a black T-shirt and colorful shorts. Over the years, fans have frequently called for the pair to get together, commenting on their many Instagram posts of each other, and predicting they would be 'the next IT couple'. However, Naomi made steps to clarify their relationship on Thursday as she shared a gushing 40th birthday tribute to the Saudi Arabian producer on Instagram. Alongside two snaps of the pair, including a photo of a bikini-clad Naomi embracing Mohammed, the beauty referred to her pal as her 'chosen family', before noting how much she cherishes their 'friendship and family-ship'. She penned: 'Happy birthday 40th birthday and turn around the sun to my chosen family @moalturki My Mo. 'I'm so proud of all that you've done, all that you're doing, and all that's ahead for you. I'm beyond excited for your next chapter and everything your future holds. Most of all, I'm deeply grateful to have you in my life. 'I wish you joy, health, love, and every blessing this year and beyond. I know this next season is going to be filled with incredible things, and I can't wait for the world to see it all unfold. 'We love you so much, Uncle Mo. I truly cherish our friendship—and our family-ship.' The pair have been friends for several years, after the Saudi Arabian film producer first shared a snap with the superstar on his Instagram back in 2021. They have been fixtures at each other's sides at many events since, including last year's BAFTA's, Cannes film festival, Paris Fashion Week in 2022 and 2023, and several exclusive parties, like Edward Enninful 's birthday bash. Mohammed and Naomi have even jetted off on vacation together, with the pair soaking up the sun in Ibiza last year. In April, they enjoyed a break to the Maldives alongside Naomi's children and pal Natasha Poly.
