Sharks have been hot topic in The Debrief HQ this week. Not because I'm jetting off to Aus in two weeks (and will probably get eaten by one) but because we (I) have decided that these fishy fiends are going to be a major motif in 2015...

Not following? OK, last year did you see pineapples on everything from phone cases to your boyfriend's pants? Watermelons and Swiss cheese plantseverywhere the year before that? And swallows and anchors back in 2008? Well then, this year prepare for 'The Year of the Shark' - here's why they are 100% a thing for 2015:

Ok, this film completely freaked us out when we watched it BUT we love the book - it's basically our essential holiday reading, because the cover is oh-so instagrammable and looks great with a hot red swimsuit. Though warning you might not want to go in the sea post.

 

This Stella McCartney iPhone Case*

This was probably the defining moment for us. As soon as it's a rubber phone case, it's a cult (we're looking at you Moschino). But Stella's gone way more chic with this pink number, perfect for not losing your phone when it goes swimming at the bottom of your bag. *Note: this does not make your phone waterproof.
