1

Star Print Blouse
Price: £32
Stockist: Topshop
www.topshop.com

Topshop have finally brought their sold-out star print dress (as seen on London style connoisseur Alexa Chung) back into stores – in the form of this gorge blouse. Perfect for those ladies who don’t want to take the whole star trend to Kate Moss heights: Wear this little number with this summer’s pale denim.

2

Ditsy Print Tea Dress
Price: £45
Stockist: Warehouse
www.warehouse.com

You’d have to have been wearing a blindfold while shopping to miss the florals that are literally everywhere at the moment. A Liberty-print dress is a must for summer style – try this cutesy one from Warehouse on for size.

3

Leather Tassle Clutch
Price: £29.99
Stockist: River Island
www.riverisland.com

Clutch-fever shows no sign of abating for the summer, with every designer worth their salt – from Prada to Chloe, Gucci and Celine – sending their models down the runway with clutch bags in their paws. This tasselled version from River Island lets you buy designer-looking leather, without the price tag.

4

PPQ Jumpsuit
Price: £50
Stockist: Oli
www.oli.co.uk

We’re the first to admit that the old jumpsuit that Stella McCartney has been pioneering for a couple of seasons isn’t the easiest of looks to work (unless you’re a six-foot, Eastern European model, naturally). PPQ have come up with this body-friendly jumpsuit as part of their range for fashion website Oli – may the words ‘all-in-one’ never fill you with dread again!

5

Ruffled Tier Dress
Price: £45
Stockist: Miss Selfridge
www.missselfridge.com

Hop on down to Miss Selfridge to get your hands on this bargainous take on the tiered ruffles we’re loving for spring.

6

Double Breasted Trench
Price: £50
Stockist: Oli
www.oli.co.uk

A classic belted mac or trench is a timeless staple no wardrobe should be without. Go for sedate and elegant beige like this one, or play around with colour in the reds, pinks and yellows on the high street.

7

Metal Inlaid Bangle
Price: £20
Stockist: Urban Outfitters
www.urbanoutfitters.com

Not only does this bangle give a style-filled nod to the stacks of chunky arm-wear on the Spring/Summer catwalks, the metal pattern gives it a tribal feel, so you get two trends for the (teeny) price of one!

8

Stripy Tribal Dress
Price: £30
Stockist: Topshop
www.topshop.com

This spring, it’s really all about prints. We’ve got painter’s prints splashed all over dresses, floral prints over pretty much everything, star prints and our pick of the bunch, tribal prints. Take your pick of fashion influences from all over the globe – Japanese, Native-American or African, like this summery dress.

9

Two Button Jacket
Price: £25
Stockist: New Look
www.newlook.co.uk

A blazer? For under thirty quid? Bargain emporium New Look has come up trumps with this all-season cover-up. Fling it over loose tees and jeans for a rock ’n’ roll vibe in spring; save it for Winter and you can wear it to smarten up in the office or look cool in a mini dress. True value for money…

10

Ankle Strap Sandal
Price: £25
Stockist: Shellys
www.shellys.co.uk

Hoorah! Time to throw away Winter greys (or fold them neatly away for next Winter, if you’re more tidily disposed) and embrace colour because it’s back for summer in an undeniable way. And by colour, we don’t just mean the usual pinks and baby blues – superbrights are where it’s at! Opt for zingy yellow with these sandals from Shellys.
