It has been said that a wrist watch is the

Oliver Sweeney SS15
The Oxford brogue is often considered
a more formal choice of footwear due to
its closed facing detail and more refined
shape. For the man who wants his style
credentials to create a lasting impression but
perhaps feels a little more comfortable in a
hardwearing rubber sole that offers a greater
level of grip than that of a leather sole.
Stone Island SS15
The Spring/Summer 2015 Stone Island
menswear collection focuses on the classic
performance jackets, alongside a selection of
shirts, shorts and polo shirts, all featuring the
instantly recognisable Stone Island compass
badge. Finely ribbed collar and sleeve
edging with two parallel pin stripes.
Vivienne Westwod SS15
Strikingly designed in vivid colours of red and
blue, Vivienne Westwood’s light cotton shirt
comes distinctively crafted with mesmerising
mix of checks and stripes. With brown
buttons and the Orb motif embroidered
to the chest, style with Westwood’s Navy
Frankenstein Chinos for a vibrant Spring/
Summer 2015 look.
Ralph Lauren SS15
The Ralph Lauren Hanford Leather sneaker
is a sleek leather sneaker updated with
bright contrasting colors that pop. Slip it on
with a distressed jean and a hoodie for a
sharp weekend look or wear it with tailored
clothing for a sporty contrast.
Billionaire Boys Club SS15
BBC - as it is often referred to - is one of
the biggest names to hit the youthful urban
fashion scene in modern times and is
well-publicised as the brainchild of music
producer, artist and business man Pharrell
Williams. Williams already has a presence
in men’s clothing with other labels, such as
ICECREAM clothing.

Replay Jeans have changed the rules of
denim with the new Hyperflex collection.
Created using an innovative process that
allows the denim to model and fit to your
body without losing comfort and designed
using a structure of fabric that ensures the
shape is retained wear after wear – allowing
you to stretch your limits.”
The main features of Replay Hyperflex are
100% elasticity with an incredible shaping
performance and a superior comfort. The
jeans do not sag or deform in shape even
after continual wear as they offer complete
ease of motion and great shape retention.
With Lycra which as the core fabric and
a middle layer of Poly, an external layer
constructed from cotton which is what gives
the jeans its authentic denim look. The two
top fibres protecting the Lycra ensure that the
stretch factor is protected from industrial and
domestic washes.
Their rise in popularity over the last 6
months will be more noticeable this SS15.
The Replay Anbass Hyperflex jeans
available in two different
washes – a dark
tone
with a rich sheen and a medium tone with
a yellow weathered tinge and are in a slim
fit with a regular waist and slim tapered leg
design. Industry professionals and customers
have been quoted saying: “at first glance
these jeans don’t look any different but I
guess that is the point of them, however
during a closer inspection of the jeans,
I pulled at the jeans which revealed the
elasticity of the fabric. It is not hard to see
why these jeans would be a practical and
comfortable alternative to original denim
jeans”.
Barcelona FC have chosen Replay
Hyperflex jeans as their official casual
clothing range, which opens the range to a
whole new audience.
It helped that the original advert featured
members of the Barcelona first team, all
performing various ball skills whilst wearing
the Italian company jeans.
Definitely time to take a closer look at the
range.

One of my favourite
things about blogging and
fashion is that you are able to dress up and
experiment as much as you want! I would
describe my style as youthful, feminine and
classic although I will say I do not have a
specific taste. I wake up each day wanting to
wear something different, so I’m going to be
sharing with you my summer wants.
The whole 70’s/western themes are huge
this summer, and I’m obsessed with them.
Crochet, suede, flares give me all of it! So
for my first summer want, I give you these
amazing lace flares by ‘Somedays Lovin on
Asos’. These would be perfect for festivals;
I’m definitely going to have to Invest!
My next summer want is something a little
more girly. When I saw this floral skort
playsuit on ‘Missguided’ I was instantly drawn
to it! The lemon is stunning and would look
perfect on holiday, a night out, or out for
dinner. This is definitely a more classic look,
but with a nice pop of colour!
What’s Hot!
A summer
must have…
and I’m not
talking about the
tiger. A regular
victim from PLL
(pretty little liars)
turned style icon
Shay Mitchell,
brings back the
bandana! Yes,
we’ve all seen a bandana before; Shay adds
a twist of pattern for that for a cute retro/tribal
look. Personally I am not a fan of windy hair
days so this has moved to the top of ‘must buy
immediately’ list.

STAY HYDRATED REASONS TO KEEP COOL THIS SUMMER
Staying hydrated doesn’t just impact your
brain, though. Here are a few ways water
benefits your body’s health.
1. Water Helps Prevent Dry Mouth
Water keeps your throat and lips moist and
prevents your mouth from feeling dry. Dry
mouth can cause bad breath and/or an
unpleasant taste–and can even promote
cavities.
2. Water Promotes Cardiovascular
Health
Dehydration lowers your blood volume, so
your heart must work harder to pump the
reduced amount of blood and get enough
oxygen to your cells, which makes everyday
activities like walking up stairs–as well as
exercise–more difficult.
3. Water Keeps Your Body Cool
Your body releases heat by expanding blood
vessels close to the skin’s surface (this is why
your face gets red during exercise), resulting
in more blood flow and more heat dissipated
into the air. When you’re dehydrated,
however, it takes a higher environmental
temperature to trigger blood vessels to widen,
so you stay hotter.
4. Water Helps Muscles and Joints
Work Better
When you’re well hydrated, the water inside
and outside the cells of contracting muscles
provides adequate nutrients and removes
waste efficiently so you perform better.
Water is also important for lubricating joints.
Contrary to popular belief, muscle cramps do
not appear to be related to dehydration, but,
instead, to muscle fatigue, according to Sam
Cheuvront, Ph.D., an exercise physiologist.
5. Water Keeps Skin Supple
When a person is severely dehydrated,
skin is less elastic. This is different than dry
skin, which is usually the result of soap, hot
water and exposure to dry air. And, no,
unfortunately, drinking lots of water won’t
prevent wrinkles.
6. Water Cleanses Toxins from Your
Body
Your kidneys need water to filter waste from
the blood and excrete it in urine. Keeping
hydrated may also help prevent urinary
tract infections and kidney stones. If you are
severely dehydrated, your kidneys may stop
working, causing toxins to build up in your
body.

A SLICE OF NICE
DESIGNER CAKES
It seems our love for fashion and style does
not stop at what we wear. Recently there has
been a growing trend happening at various
parties and celebrations that has lead to the
arrivial of the designer ‘brand’ cake.
Gone are the days of getting a wonky cake
with your name spelt incorrectly and your
nan’s version of a Pokemon.
Owner and Artistic Director of A Slice of
Nice (ASON), Donna Williams began her
artistic journey as a Visual Merchandiser for
clothing retailer The Gap.
Armed with passion and creativity, Donna
progressed to working with the likes of
Harrods and Selfridges creating the amazing
store windows fronts and interiors that
enticed us. It was then Donna realised that
her eye-for-detail and cake baking skills
could be turned into a business. Several
celebrity clients later and ASON has
become a trending success.
Alongside the production of their amazing
designer cakes, ASON also do great things
in the local community such as a rolling
programme of 4 week courses in schools
where pupils can learn the skill of Cake
Art. This is a great way for pupils to build
confidence, express creative flair, learn a
new skill and make new friends.
ASON also host a 12 week programme for
the ‘Skills Section’ of The Duke of Edinburgh
Bronze Award in school. Many more of the
amazing ASON cakes can be viewed at

Series nine of Britain’s Got Talent has begun
its rollercoaster journey and we have not
been disappointed.
The weird & wonderful Britain has to offer,
graces our television screens with the usual
cringe & creation we have come to love.
You would think the influx of talent based
shows over the last ten years would have us
de-sensitised to the format but no, with ratings
so far topping ten million viewers; BGT has
become the most watched ITV show of the
year so far.
We take a look at a few of the fore runners
to scoop the title and the impressive
£250,000 cheque.

Grooving proved that there are dads that can
still deliver on the dancefloor.
Like a new school ‘The Full Monty’ the quintet
executed choreography fit for purpose,
receiving a standing ovation from all in the
arena.
Henry Gallagher wowed the BGT judges
& audience a like with his self-written song
about a girl he likes, hoping it got her
attention.
Described as a mini Olly Murs he has
amassed an army of fans since his fantastic
audition and definitely becomes one to watch
over the coming weeks.
When a brother and sister audition on the
same show, there is always that awkward
moment when one gets through and the other
doesn’t.
Calum Scott endured that feeling as he was
the first BGT 2015’s Golden Buzzer receiver,
while his sister Jade received four no’s.
Simon Cowell must have seen something
pretty special in Calum to bestow the golden
confetti.
OMG ON BGT

LETHAL BIZZLE
FESTER SKANK
Back with a bang!.. Lethal Bizzle,
featuring his producer Diztortion.
Released on 12 April 2015 for digital
download in the United Kingdom
and is his first single to be released
since signing to Universal.
The song has peaked at number 1 1
on the UK Singles Chart. Not sure
Fazor or Oliver Twist will appreciate
this money maker.
USIC
MAJOR LAZER FEAT. MØ
LEAN ON
Produced by DJ Snake, the song features
vocals by Danish recording artist MØ.
The single received universally positive
reviews and reached the top-ten in
nineteen international charts, including
number one in Australia and number six
in the UK. The track peaked at number
two on Spotify’s global streaming chart,
with an average 2,000,000 daily
plays. We all secretly wish the cartoon
guardian was our mate too!
CARLY RAE JEPSON

Canadian singer-songwriter Carly Rae
Jepsen 29, offers the first single from
her forthcoming third studio album
E•MO•TION, which will be released in
the summer of 2015.
The song was released on March 2,
2015, with a hugely popular video
featuring Tom Hanks. Expect to hear the
song blasting from the little white Fiat
500’s & Mini Coopers this summer.

Another summer season brings yet another
superhero movie that will yet again smash all
box office records and have your young sibling
more excited than midnight on Christmas Eve.
All the gang are here for this action packed ride
including the billionaire ego that is Tony Starks/
Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.), rather boring
Captain America (Chris Evans), Norse God
who likes to hangs about with muggles Thor
(Chris Hemsworth), token chick Black Widow
(Scarlett Johansson), everybody’s favourite
smashing machine Hulk (Mark Ruffalo), that guy
with an endless amount of arrows Hawkeye
(Jeremy Renner) and last but not least, Shaft.
With the bald head and long leather coat,
Samuel L. Jackson looks more Shaft than Nick
Fury.
Age of Ultron, written and directed by Joss
Whedon also welcomes two Marvel characters
to the franchise in the forms of Scarlet Witch
(Elizabeth Olsen) and Quicksilver (Aaron Taylor-
Johnson).
If you are new to the Marvel universe, you will
probably get lost trying to figure out who is
who and why they do the things they do but
like most Marvel movies, this won’t stop you
from enjoying the action on screen. And when
it comes to action, this movie has plenty of it
as Iron Man & Co. do there best to stop the
carnage that they created in the form of Ultron -
think Terminator Skynet.
Without giving away too much of an already
thin plot, Avengers: The Age of Ultron is not
going to leave you blown away because it feels
like we have been here before but it is a great
addition to the Marvel franchise.

JURASSIC WORLD
For our second film, we have
decided to stick with the action
theme and gone back to a
time when Mel Gibson was a
household name for movies and
not controversy.
Haunted by his turbulent past,
Mad Max believes the best way
to survive is to wander alone.
Nevertheless, he becomes
swept up with a group fleeing
across the Wasteland in a War
Rig driven by an elite Imperator,
Furiosa.
They are escaping a citadel
tyrannized by the immortal
Joe, from whom something
irreplaceable has been taken.
Enraged, the Warlord marshals
all his gangs and pursues the
rebels ruthlessly in the high-
octane road war that follows.
The film will be set shortly before
the events of Mad Max 2: The
Road Warrior. The original Mad
Max actor Mel Gibson has a
cameo role.
In 2012, the pop-pumped
musical comedy Pitch Perfect
won the hearts of audiences.
So, its cast was quick to regroup
for a sequel.
Elizabeth Banks, who was a
co-star and producer of the
first film, steps up to the role of
director. This makes Pitch Perfect
2 her directorial feature debut.
But where will this sequel take
Beca (Anna Kendrick) and the
gang?.
In an interview, Banks revealed
some plot details about the
upcoming Pitch Perfect 2,
including the over arching theme
of the film.
Though the director refused to
divulge any insight into the fate
of Beca (Kendrick) and Jesse’s
(Astin) relationship, she did say
the film will follow Beca, Fat
Amy (Wilson), and the rest of
the Barden Bellas through their
senior year as they pass the
acapella torch.
Jurassic World promises to
deliver just as much teeth and
terror we have come to love in
this the fourth instalment of the
Jurassic Park franchise.
With Chris Pratt, Judy Greer,
Ty Simpkins and Bryce Dallas
Howard. Twenty-two years
after the events of Jurassic Park
(1993), Isla Nublar now features
a fully functioning dinosaur
theme park, Jurassic World, as
originally envisioned by John
Hammond.
Owen (Chris Pratt), a member
of Jurassic World’s on-site staff,
conducts behavioural research
on the Velociraptors.
Jurassic World’s attendance
rates begin to decline and a
new attraction, the introduction
of the genetically modified
‘Indominus Rex’, created to
re-spark visitor interest, backfires
with catastrophic consequences.

about unofficially announced ‘iPad Pro’ suggest that it may pack an eye

Technopic Full HD Sports
Helmet Camera
When we recently visited the Top Gear
track to take on the Stig, we used this
amazingly tiny helmet camera to record
all the onboard video footage taken
in an Ariel Atom travelling at up to
170mph in some parts and some of our
live action.
The device is simple to use and comes
with multiple brackets and a waterproof
case that kept the water out during our
testing.
For £1 19 this is more than worth the
investment for anyone who is interested
in recording their outdoor pursuits.

B ring out the inner adventurer in you,
with a trip to The Big Outdoor Show,
Milton Keynes this Spring Bank Holiday
weekend (May 23-25). You can try loads of
different outdoor activities, explore the latest
outdoor goods and gadgets, or be inspired
by real adventurers like Sir Ranulph Fiennes.
Visit for a day or camp the whole weekend.
The show celebrates everything great about
being outdoors and showcases a variety of
different activities to try such as kayaking,
sailing, canoeing, paddle boarding,
climbing.
But you don’t have to take part, as there’s
plenty to watch too with gravity-defying
displays from the Action Sports Tour
and M.A.D mountain bike teams, and
demonstrations in water rescue by Ellie
Bedford and her Newfoundland dogs.
Also appearing is The Exotic Animal
Encounter where you can meet real meerkats,
raccoons, foxes, and reptiles, the sort of
creatures you would ordinarily only see in a
zoo.

BE INSPIRED BY
THE BIG OUTDOOR
One of the main attractions at The Big
Outdoor Show is expected to be the seminar
programme where renowned adventurers and
explorers will share their intrepid experiences
and survival advice. Headlining the talks
is the world’s greatest living explorer, the
legendary Sir Ranulph Fiennes.

Page 54

Joining him on the speaker
platform is Felicity Aston, Mark
Wood, John Sullivan and Alex
Jackson.
There’s plenty to see and do
at The Big Outdoor Show,
including an exhibition area
where you can buy anything
from outdoor gear and
gadgets to fold-up boats.
For campers, there’s evening
entertainment laid on including
live music and outdoor film
screenings.
The event is very affordable
with day tickets just £9.50
for adults, and £4.50 for
children aged eight and over
(under 8s go free). Family
weekend camping tickets
cost only £49.50 per person.
Advance tickets can be
purchased at http://www.

The Big Outdoor Show is
designed to inspire people to
get outside more and try new
outdoor pursuits but most of all
it will provide a friendly, fun,
festival atmosphere that folk will
remember for a long time.

AS the twilight of the English Premiership
2014/15 approaches, we take a look
at how the red half of Merseyside failed to
deliver, flattering to deceive, as last season
seemed to welcome the re-emergence of a club
steeped in football history.
With 18 top flight league trophies, 5 European
Cups, 7 FA Cups and 3 UEFA Cups; the
mediocrity of another season of Europa League
football is wearing thin with the Anfield faithful.
As the age old conversation of players vs
manager and crossing the white line rages on,
we do our best to bring a bit of balls into play.
The buck stops with management so the best
place to start. Brendan Rodgers enters his third
season at the helm and to be honest he hasn’t
done too badly, seventh in his first season,
second in his second and looking at a fifth
place finish this campaign. He’s tutelage
under ‘the special one’ has helped him to
maintain Liverpool’s constant threat as a top
5 premiership team, although his tinkering of
the team’s tactics were not always met with
acclaim this season as results suffered.
What he achieves next season will most
definitely have a bigger effect on his job
security and the direction of Liverpool FC.
So to the million pound superstars?!..
..It would be all too easy to blame the ‘rebel
without a cause’ that is Mario Balotelli; surely
even Liverpool knew that ‘you can’t turn a
hoe into a housewife’ and his yes, no, maybe
attitude would extend onto the pitch. Or did
Liverpool simply rely too heavily on the magic
of Mr Suarez?, who seems to have stolen the
finishing formula as he tiptoed off to align with
the sorcerers of Spanish football. Although It
must be stated, if you lose 52 goals (Suarez
Barcelona & Sturridge Injury) that is a huge
void to fill for any side in any league.
The consistently inconsistent Raheem Sterling
only serves to further the frustration surrounding
Liverpool football club, but
let it be known of the
current crop Sterling
has the best
chance of leaving
these shores to
head for greener
grass with the

elites. SSS amassed a huge 62 goal haul last
season, which definitely played a big part in
their 2nd place finish as they actually ended
the season with the worst defensive record in
the top 5.
Maybe that statistic was the one that hid in the
shadow of such an impressive campaign and
has ultimately cost Liverpool points this season.
The raid on Southampton during the summer
transfer window has done little to strengthen a
squad with reasonable promise, it would seem
Lovren left his boots at St. Marys while the
La La duo of Lallana & Lambert have become
forgotten gemstones.
Their form in Southampton shirts last season
saw them receive well-earned caps for the
national team but with a combination of injuries
and team selection, the pair seem to have
been swept under the Anfield carpet.
As painful as sitting down to watch Superman
4, the ‘white dwarf star’ that is Steven Gerard
needed to be sold last season.
No one can contest his legendary effect on
Liverpool FC over the last ten years but his legs
& mind are now on different planets, which is
not conducive with the best league in Europe.
It would be unfair to not mention the players
that have made great strides this year, none
more so than Jordan Henderson & Phillipe
Coutinho. Henderson has grown to become
the archetypal captain marvel, with energy
busting performances and more than a few top
draw goals he was unlucky not to feature in the
PFA Team of the year.
Coutinho on the other hand has made it into
the PFA Team of the year and deserves his
inclusion, his silky samba feet, vision for that
killer pass and now netbusters that would win
many a goal of the month if not the season.
Let’s also keep a close eye on Jordan Ibe &
Alberto Moreno, starlets due for big things.
Without Champions League football next year
will the club be able to attract the quality
needed to challenge the top 4 once again?
Koppites up and down the country will be
watching with the usual apprehension,
let’s see what develops…

FIVE TIPS FOR
RESTARTING YOUR
PROMISE TO YOURSELF
& STICKING WITH IT
1 Don’t Break the Habit – The easiest way
to keep things going is simply not to stop.
Avoid long breaks in exercising or rebuilding
the habit will take some effort. This may be
advice a little too late for some people, but if
you have an exercise habit going, don’t drop
it at the first sign of trouble.
2 Get a Buddy – Grab a friend to join you.
Having a social aspect to exercising can
boost your commitment to the exercise habit.
Having a social aspect to exercising can
boost your commitment to the exercise habit.
3 Commit for Thirty Days – Make a com -
mitment to go every day (even just for
20 minutes) for one month. This will solidify
the exercise habit. By making a commitment
you also take pressure off yourself in the first
weeks back of deciding whether to go.
4 Make it Fun – If you don’t enjoy yourself
at the gym, it is going to be hard to keep
it a habit. There are thousands of ways you
can move your body and exercise, so don’t
give up if you’ve decided lifting weights or
doing crunches isn’t for you.
Many large fitness centers will offer a range
of programs that can suit your tastes.
5 Schedule During Quiet Hours – Don’t
put exercise time in a place where it will
easily be pushed aside by something more
important. Right after work or first thing in the
morning are often good places to put it.
Lunch-hour workouts might be too easy to skip
if work demands start mounting.

Armed with a face
destroying Ariel

the infamous Top

Porsche GT3, Ariel

average priced
car.
GETTING TWIZY
WITH IT
Six years after being
introduced to the world

We decided to take
the Twizy and her more

Enjoying the thrill of motor racing in the past
had been only available to a lucky few but over
time, improvements to Go Karting circuits has
given us all the chance to enjoy the thrill of
racing in a safe but fast paced setting.
Milton Keynes is home to Formula Fast MK
which boasts a huge 500m+ circuit with an
average track width of seven meters.
Considered one of the largest circuits in the UK,
the Formula Fast circuit has been designed in
conjunction with F1 professionals to deliver a
fun but challenging circuit that provides plenty
of space for overtaking and tests your nerves
with tight hairpins and long straights.
Being one of the biggest indoor karting
circuits, Formula Fast MK offer a great karting
experience regardless of what the British
weather has planned for the day.
Great for beginners and excellent fun for speed
freaks, Go Karting is where most of our favourite
F1 drivers started including current world
champion Lewis Hamilton. Are you ready?

What better way could there be to launch
our new and improved motoring section than
sending our Editor to take on the BBC Top
Gear Experience?
Off the track, The Top Gear franchise has
been under the spotlight recently with the
television show facing a massive reshuffle at
the end of this season. However, on the track
where the cars are the stars could not be any
better for the franchise.
Hidden away in Surrey is Dunsfold
Aerodrome, home to the infamous Top Gear
track. Upon arrival, the first thing that will
amaze you is the size of the aerodrome and
track.
Originally built for the Canadian Air Force
during World War II, the track is littered with
commercial and private planes which you
would have noticed in previous series of the
television show.

The Studio
Registration takes place in the famous
Top Gear studio where you can marvel
at the cars that really stole the show
from the Art Deco BMW 635CSi to the
V8 Porsche 928 GT used in the
Patagonia Special.
Each visitors experience will be unique
due to the fact that the their package can
be tailored to suit what they want to do
and see. We tried just about everything
apart from the off-roading vehicles. We
focused on speed so the Ariel Atom and
Hot Lap with The Stig were top on the
order of play.
The Ariel Atom
Known for rearranging Jeremy
Clarkson’s face, driving an Ariel Atom
is probably the most enjoyable motoring
experience outside single seat formula
cars. We believe the two seater Atom
is truly the best fun you can have if you
have the skills and confidence to push it.
The Hot Lap with The Stig
Some say that a hot lap with The Stig will
change the way you view life. Using a
Porsche GT3, The Stig will take you on a
white knuckle ride around the track in
just over a minute. Being a passenger
doesn’t take any of the thrill away as it
is not very often that you get a chance
to go around Hammerhead almost
sideways.
Summary
The Top Gear Experience is a truly
high-octane day out that offers any
Top Gear fan full access to the studio
and cars that made Top Gear history.
With so much to do, this is a dream
day out.

The Renault Zoe follows on from the
introduction of the electric Fluence ZE and
Twizy, but unlike the former, the Zoe was
designed from the ground up as an electric
vehicle. Its electric motor produces 89PS
and 219Nm, with a maximum range of 130
miles between charges. Most people won’t
manage quite such a distance before needing
to plug in with a realistic range of 90 miles in
good conditions.
Energy saving technology includes
regenerative braking (charges the battery
when you brake or take your foot off of the
accelerator) and a heater system that has no
effect on the vehicle’s range. A new charger,
called Chameleon, reduces battery damage
and can, dependant on the power output it’s
connected to, charge the car in just an hour.
However you can’t charge the Zoe from a
standard household three-pin socket, so you
really need a wallbox, although these are
currently free to have installed. If you like the
idea of an electric vehicle and it fits in with
your lifestyle - you live in a house with an
available area for charging, your commute
isn’t that long, and you have a petrol car at
your disposal for longer trips at the weekend
- then the Zoe is pretty much the best game in
town at the moment.
But you need to be committed to the cause,
because logic still dictates that a petrol or
diesel hatch is still the better all-round option
for those with more real-world needs. It’s a
great electric vehicle, but still just that - an
electric vehicle. £18.995 - £20,195 on the
