After four extremely successful collections it’s not surprising that Kate Moss’s fifth season designing for Topshop has earned her, her very own website!
Kate’s fifth collection has inspirations from all over the globe referencing Ibiza, Miami, India and many more these influences from around the world has earned it its title of The Boho Traveller.
It’s another great collection from Kate and I think it is a fantastic move to create a whole website dedicated to her Topshop collaboration. The site is still in its early stages but I’m sure when it is complete there will be some great extras on there, maybe some style tips from Miss Moss? That would be great!

I am so into the romantic look this season, soft frills in delicate chiffon and silk is so feminine and will make you any woman feel like a lady!
Topshop have got the look down to a tee with this beautiful silk frill dress. The tiered ra ra skirt is a key piece this season, so this dress works perfectly with the tiered ra ra effect that is on the bottom half of the dress. It gives it a fun flirty feel whilst the delicate fabrics maintain that romantic mood that oozes elegance and femininity.
The pale grey really works on this dress; however it does come in a stunning dusty pink that is ultra feminine and would look fab with a tan!

H&M have produced a whole collection in tribute to Marimekko, a Finnish textile company that is renowned for its bold and bright textiles. They have used vibrant prints from the Marimekko archive to create 70 pieces for men, women and children.

The ethnic style is always a great look for summer; this would explain why it always seems to be a hot trend every year! I think the best way to portray this look is with accessories; stacking bangles, layering lots of multicoloured beaded necklaces is just a couple of essential ways you can achieve this look.
If you are unsure of what necklaces to layer and what bangles to stack, Topshop has created the ultimate ethnic necklace to help you along the way! It’s a great accessory that combines many rows of individual beaded necklaces to make a statement and really enhance that ethnic look.
For £20 I think it is well worth the money, Buy yours today from Topshop online.

Basic tank tops and t shirts are essential for those warm sunny months, the laid back look always looks fab and who better to show us how to achieve this look than the ultimate casual label; Abercrombie and Fitch.
They always manage to make that effortless style look sexy and chic, this plain grey tank is a perfect example of how they do this. The style is very plain but the subtle lace detailing around the neckline gives it that edge and makes it Abercrombie. Worn with cotton shorts or a washed out denim skirt would complete this laidback look and would be a perfect summer outfit.
Available in a range of colours for £30 each this tank is a staple piece for summer.

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!

Last summer saw some fab new trends and high waisted shorts amongst others such as the floor sweeping maxi dresses were one that never should be forgotten.
Flattering and versatile high waisted shorts create an hour glass figure by clinching the waist. These Topshop High Waisted shorts do just the trick and in the dark denim colour they naturally become even more flattering. The nautical trend is in full swing so the anchor button detailing matched with a nautical top will create a fashion savvy look. Pair with cute flats in the day and pointed stilettos at night.
Get your Topshop High Waisted Shorts at Topshop online costing £28.
