Donna Versace excelled herself with exceptional pastel dresses like this one. I particlulary like the roman print details and the colour pistachio green is amazing.
This is a lovely primrose yellow dress that bright blondes can wear all summer. I would love to be able to wear yellow but as a brunette I just cant!

So we all have one or two, it will be undoubtedly tucked away in the dark recesses of our wardrobe, as usually the limelight is selectively bestowed on the current seasons must have, or on sacred Vintage treasures. The white T-shirt has always been in its simplicity, regarded as one of the purest definitions of style, that is, if you know how and what to wear it with. In the past two seasons designers seduced us with that covetable Lux trend, this season a more modest garment emerged on the S/S runways, so much so that I have actually never seen so many Stylists, post-shows make their way to Harvey Nicholls to grab themselves the perfect white number by Stella McCartney.
On the other hand, I hear your thoughts, is it almost too basic? And you are right of course, it is hard to edit the look for fear under styling and looking rather boring, or to appear to be wearing the usual white t-shirt and trouser combo.
So here is how to inject a shot of uber-style in this white staple, we have pulled the hottest looks for you from this seasons collections.
Balmain
Rock it, as Balmain does tucked into leather shorts or a skirt it will make a stylish addition to your off-duty wardrobe, add sandals for a cool weekend look.
Chloe
Minimalist and pure, as Chloe shows us how to play the trend with figure hugging clean lines perfectly tailored for a feminine finish, edit this look with lux accessories and bright-red lipstick.
Dior
This is a take on marine chic. Team it with printed shorts and add a statement satchel and cocktail ring to stay cool in the heat.
Jil Sander
This is the biggest trend of the summer, Colour block skirts, they are everywhere. To make the white stand out choose a flashy coloured skirt long or short.
Max Mara
If opting for a total white look as seen at Max Mara, add a pop of colour with your belt, shoes, and sunglasses.

As the Leading London Personal Shopper I am always on the lookout for amazing fashion for my clients. I loved Pippa Middletons’s Dress. My view is that it was the most stylish outfit at the Royal Wedding eclipsing Kate’s seen before Grace Kelly dress by miles. Kate had an opportunity to set the world on fire instead she chose a safe dull copy. Take a look at Alexander McQueens last collection and you will see so many stunning wedding dresses by Sarah Burton.
I am always in the shops on the lookout for great new styles for my clients. Check out this dress on ASOS it has a cowl neck front deeply flattering and a gold zip running from top to bottom. This is a stunning dress based on the lines of Pippa’s superb style it is simply gorgeous and at £45 looks like it costs £400+. Ignore the beige this has to be black black black!! Infinitely nicer from the front than this photo shows. I love this great for work or parties.
Alice and Olivia
There are so many gorgeous clothes in the shops right now it is hard to choose my favourites.
As The Leading London Personal Shopper I have so many different clients with
differing shapes. Here I am going to share some style tips with you. Alice and
Olivia are fast becoming one of my favourite designers and it is not hard to
see why with this stunning dress. Great colour and fantastically flattering too.
It will flatter anyone with a tummy and will
look amazing on tall ladies and it reasonably priced.
Vanessa Bruno
From Vanessa Bruno a lovely terracotta silk blouse
that will look fabulous with navy, white or black.
Acne
Combine with this sensational Acne mini skirt with
leather panels. This is a skirt that you will love and wear over and over. It is
cut high at the front to accentuate length of legs.
Emilio Pucci
Maxis are on trend. However a word of warning,
short ladies look shorter and fatter don’t go there! There are many plump women
breathing a sigh of relief that the ultimate cover up is here. However the maxi
can look more Aintree that St Tropez so choose well and choose colour. Pucci
show you how to get it right here.
Issa
Famous before the Middleton sisters visited the
brand here is a sensational dress in coral form Issa ,it is far brighter in
reality than here.
Pippa Middleton and James Middleton
Famous before the Middleton sisters visited the
brand here is a sensational dress in coral from Issa ,it is far brighter in
reality than here. Here are Pippa
Middleton and brother James at the Issa show hard to see what the fuss is about
really. All eyes were on Olivia Palermo!
Menswear Accessories
Accessories can make or break an outfit – Every girl knows that. But what about men? In truth, they have it easy compared to the subtle politics and coordination of a handbag or a brooch.
My advice for mens accessories is to keep it simple, stick to colours you’re familiar with – Which for most men will be blacks, browns, blues and neutrals.
This set of accessories, in slick and shiny shades of black is an easy look can that can adapted for work or play. Perfect for business trips or the city.
Take inspiration from the country with soft brown leather, and simple check accessories. This look is great for travelling and patent leather loafers are particularly hot this season.
Stay fresh and casual by introducing a splash of colour into your outfit. It need not be as bright as these cobalt accessories, but don’t be afraid to incorporate some colour and have some fun.
Classic brogues in two shades does two things – It shows you have exceptional taste, and it gives you an extra colour to use when creating your outfit. This neutral set of accessories in degrees of brown and beige is perfect for a more leisurely, sporty look.
