Add some printed pizazz
With the high street not falling out of love with animal print anytime soon, it's time to snap up some snazz like Miranda Kerr . Simple separates make for perfect pattern companions if you're not brave enough to tackle the head-to-toe print trend.

Keep your summer wardrobe easy & breezy
Don't overcomplicate your summer wardobe when a bright, statement day dress can do all the hard work for you. Simply team with flip-flops and iced coffee and - if you're a lucky lady like Selma Blair - a baby pink Miu Miu bag.

Contrast your sleeves
Forget leather jackets, it's all about the leather sleeve. Still going strong after a few seasons in the spotlight, Olivia Palermo has found one keeper of a cover-up. By teaming those tough cuffs with cute bow heels and tighter than tight jeans, the style maven gives a masterclass in good girl gone bad chic. We approve!
Get snip happy
Dresses with no holes in? Are you kidding? Cut out panels have taken the fashion world by storm this season. Show off your best bodily assets and flaunt a bit of flesh, be it your waist - like model Karlie Kloss - shoulders or back. Covering up is so last year.
Sixties specs are what works best
With John Lennon as the style inspiration, summer shades have taken on a decidedly 60's vibe. Stay traditional with dark lenses, like Whitney Port , or get into full hippy swing and scout out a pair of colour-tinted lenses. Britain might even look summery behind those spectacles.
Pump it up
While Zoe Saldana ticks off the trend boxes with maverick street style - prints, mini bag, denim with a difference - it's the black patent pumps that have caught our eye. While fashion mags waffle on about the latest strappy sandals, those adverse to the idea of open toes can still rely on the humble ballet pump
Pencil skirts love T-shirts
Burberry's autumn/winter collection was all about the perfect pairing of the pencil skirt and the T-shirt. Michelle Dockery shows off the look (and the tiny waist that only a period drama actress can own), to perfection in the front row at Milan Men's Fashion Week.

Make friends with a midi
Midi is the perfect length for summer. Cruise safely through wedding and Ascot-esque dress codes and cover up pasty, neglected legs - what's to argue with? Opt for a pale, floaty ensemble and channel an ethereal look like Poppy Delevingne . Be sure to add a heeled sandal to elongate your ankles and make sure you don't err on the mother of the bride side.
And what we're not wearing…
Apparently someone told Nancy Dell'Olio Egyptian-inspired headpieces were this season's must-have accessory. Oh yes, it's beaded, and with the addition of the tarty white dress, we're calling this look 'Dominatrix Pharaoh'. And no, it's not OK.

Demonstrate neon nous
T-bar heels tend to conjure up unfortunate images of 'Strictly Come Dancing' contestants. Not if you're Alysson Paradis though. Sporting a pair of outrageously cool neon yellow heels (these are by Zara FYI), the French actress looks like she'd beat anyone in a dance-off, vintage band T-shirt and black cigarette pants in tow.

Earn your style stripes
While there's certainly a lot of patterns parading around at present, stripes seem to have taken a back seat in the print stakes. Instead of opting for the failsafe Breton stripe family, turn your lines vertical. Tali Lennox injects monochrome cool into her stripes, adding a bowler hat and red lip for a quirky edge.
