Look super chic and trendy this summer in this Alberta Ferretti Chain Embellished Dress.
The Grecian theme in fashion is so feminine and summery and the buttermilk coloured draped short dress is the perfect stereotype, as seen on the runway. The flattering shapely dress has chain and stone embellishment given it the wow factor, an elasticated waist and is fully lined. Just as much as I can imagine it on a celebrity on the red carpet I can see it looking stunning on any women living the luxury on a yacht or in St Tropez/Puerto Banus.
Get the Greek chic Alberta Ferretti Chain embellished dress at Net-A-Porter online priced at £2,060 now.

Summer is fast approaching, and those cosy warm jackets and woolly scarves are the first to go, which means one thing; it’s time to start shaving our legs and preparing for the return of short skirts and strappy vests. I like the sun as much as the next person, but it can be a little daunting bearing flesh after so many months hiding it away. Here’s where SkinKiss Caffeine Tights step in. Available from Tightsplease, these revolutionary 15 denier sheer tights have the ability to slim the wearer’s bum, tum and thighs by up to 2 1/2cm, thus helping to create an irresistible pair of pins for the summer months ahead of us.
How do they work? The warmth of the body causes the caffeine infused tights to act on the skin and tighten and firm the tissue. They even reduce the appearance of cellulite.
Available in colours black and skin tone these can be worn either at work or on an evening out, so there’s no excuse. Go to www.tightsplease.co.uk for more information and to order your pack with free delivery today!

I am a huge fan of Missoni, their spring collection is absolutely stunning this year, which is mostly due to their fabulous prints!
However as I was browsing the Missoni website, I came across their accessory collection and was blown away! They have some really beautiful jewellery that has been inspired by nature, blossoming pendants on necklaces and earrings in lilacs pinks and yellows are so pretty and delicate. In contrast they have produced some really chunky necklaces out of geometric shapes, these are great too; real statement jewellery!
Check out their accessories online for yourself, you won’t be disappointed!

Spots and stripe prints are a great look for summer; they’re fresh, bold and so on trend!
Browns fashion has recognised this new trend and have kindly created a whole section of the best spots and striped garments on the market at the moment. Designers such as Gareth Pugh, Alexander Mc Queen and Sonia Rykiel are all noted in this section for providing quirky alternatives to the fabulous spots and stripes we all know and love!
One of my favourite garments is this cute dotty dress from Fendi, the shape is adorable and I love the contrast in fabrics! Wear casual with little pumps or dress it up with some heels! Buy online from Browns for £700!

The sleeveless Blazer is a hot new look for spring, so ditch those old rigid blazers for a new sleeveless style tailoring!
Zara have hit the nail on the head with this fantastic linen blazer for spring! Without a sleeve in sight, this blazer is great for maintaining a sophisticated look but in a less formal and a more trendy way.
I love this whole outfit; it is a fresh new approach to tailoring that makes it accessible to more women and shows it is something you can experiment with and enjoy wearing rather than it being just a dull work item.
Well I’m definitely sold on this sleevless tailoring and this blazer will certainly be entering my summer wardrobe this year! Check out the rest of Zara’s collection online!

I’m officially in love with this leather jacket from All saints! I don’t need another leather jacket but after seeing this one I just can’t resist! Its such a simple design but little details like the tie front and the ribbed inner cuff just make it all the more special.
These extra little details are what you pay for and help to make All saints the best highstreet store ever!! Another added detail that wooed me is the rouched collar; genius! It gives such a subtle feel to the typical rock chick leather jacket; the style of the jacket is almost like a cardigan but is made out of leather instead of cotton!
The cost of this jacket is £275 so if you can afford it I strongly recommend you treat yourself as it is lush!

So we all know that butterflies and dragonflies are an inspiration for many designers this summer, however some designers may have taken their love for these beautiful creatures a little too far! Take for example this bizarrely unique pair of boots from Miu Miu with huge dragonflies on the front!
I personally think these boots are grotesque, however if you want to make a statement and love dragonflies, these boots maybe just what you have been looking for, but I sincerely hope not! If you were to wear these boots ensure that you wear something very plain with them to avoid looking like a clown!
The price of these boots is £2,155, to get a closer look and to find out where to purchase them from check out Stylefinder.

A 3.1 Phillip Lim Sailor stripe sweater to be more precise and a great one at that. I have raved about the nautical look so much recently but finding a specific style of top has proved to be difficult.
I’ve been looking for a more casual, sleeved little number and this is perfect. The navy and white demi-sheer merino wool swing sweater has three-quarter length sleeves and three gold-tone buttons on the shoulders. Tuck it inside some high waisted shorts or just throw it on with some jeans and ballet pumps for a chic, feminine and fashion savvy look.
Get your 3.1 Philip Lim nautical style top at Net A Porter costing £195.

You may know Lauren Conrad also known as L.C from her stint on Laguna Beach but she has become more central to the fashion world through her recent show The Hills. This show sees Lauren undergo a Teen Vogue internship and an education in fashion.
Given her experience and successful fame it makes sense that she would go on to create her own fashion line and that she did. The new clothing line is quite plain but incredibly stylish proven less is more. I love the Audrina Dress (inset). It’s flirty, fun and floaty. It’s available in colours, black, godiva and sienna and is priced at $180.
Visit Lauren Conrad online to view the collection for yourself.

Finally, the Luella Rebecca Mini Dress is available to buy online! After seeing the beautiful floral patterns of Luella Bartley’s designs pasted in every fashion glossy I had my heart set on this dress and to add to my excitement the said dress is just £325!
The multicoloured strapless piece is a mix of cotton and silk blend, has a low back and a scalloped edge detail on the bustier. It’s perfectly flattering clinching at the waist and puffing out around the derriere and it is ‘as seen on’ the run way and on many a celebrity. This Luella Rebecca Mini Dress is a collectable. Pair with leggings or footless tights for a punky look or cute ballet pumps for summer chic.
The Luella Rebecca mini dress is available at Net-A-Porter now.
