Chanel vs ASOS

Jumper dresses are back this fall, and I found a very similar dress to the one seen on Chanel's Collection:

Stella McCartney 2010 Fall Collection vs Topshop

Oversized jumper dresses are big the season, and this camel cardigan from topshop is almost exactly like the one seen on Stella McCartney's collection:

Diane Von Furstenberg 2010 Fall Collection

Another amazing collection by Diane Von Furstenberg. I'm loving the different textures, the colours, the ruffles and animal prints (all photos from Style.com):

Casual look for Fall 2010

The summer is comming to an end, but you can still wear denim shorts! Here is how J Crew makes a casual look by pairing the shorts with opaque tights, a shirt, heels and faux fur. On the right side of this photo is how you can wear this look in a similar way as seen in J Crew's model, and on the left is how I would wear it, with boots and a check shirt.

Luella vs Rare

I've showed you this heart shaped Luella dress, and now I found a similar one from Rare at ASOS. It ticks three trends at once: white, florals and hearts:

Rare floral heart cutout dress: 38£

Bubblegum Pink

I found this dress at ASOS and I think these colours are amazing and great for Summer. Here is how you can wear it:

ASOS tilly toe cap shoe boots: 40£
ASOS Odissey contoured bandeau dress: 36£

Chic

We've seen high waisted shorts on the runways (Charlotte Ronson's 2010 Spring Collection for example)and they are great if you want a casual look or a more polished one, by pairing them with a blazer and high heels. This combination does need a splash of colour though, which is why I chose fun tops. Here it is:


Above:
New Look Sunnies girl top: 7.99£
New Look ballerina vest:9.60£
Topshop Jersey Boyfriend blazer: 55£
Topshop belted shorts: 32£
ASOS corsage ruffle across body bag: 20£
Topshop Lorna bow and wood platforms 70£

Eclipse Premiere L.A.

White or neutral dresses with details were all over the Eclipse Premiere in Los Angeles. I found two similar dresses on ASOS, one of them with feathers, and it looks like they fit really well (a little expensive thought.. they are party dresses after all). They look great if your skin is tanned like Nikki Reid's, or pale like Kristen Stewart or Dakota Fanning. Just stick to a slightly darker shade if your skin is really pale, like Dakota's.

Bikini Mania

The Summer is here, and along with it come cute little bikinis! I personally love the bikinis from Salinas, a brazilian brand. Here are my favourites, selected from their website:

Bright Tribal III

I have showed you this amazing dress before and compared it with one from New Look that was in the same style, but Warehouse has a new dress that is even more similar to DVF's. Plus, it is maxi and bright. I hope you like it as much as I do!


Above:
Waregouse maxi dress (at ASOS): 45£
DVF Spring Collection (at Style.com)

Mix it with either one of these combinations:


Above:
Topshop Snake print bangles: 12£
ASOS feisty studded sandals: 35£
Topshop beaded locket necklace: 12£
Oasis bangles (at ASOS): 14£

Safari Chic

Safari Chic is big this year (once again). There are a lot of safari inspired pieces on the high street, but I really like this playsuit with petals (also a major trend) and this parka (Kristen Stewart was spotted wearing a similar one). This is a good look for summer festivals:



Above:
Hibiscus printed playsuit: 45£
Snake print bangles: 12£
Buckle pouch shoulder bag: 8£
Ruched ankle boots: 35£
Drawstring Parka Jacket: 65£

4 in 1

This playsuit checks four trends: ruffles, one shoulder, floral, and sheer. This is a great look for warmer days to come:


Above (all topshop):
Techno weave straw hat: 20£
Beaded locket necklace: 20£
One Shoulder floral playsuit: 30£
Plain leather vintage belt: 15£
Fraud lace up sandals: 45£

Stella McCartney's 2010 Spring Collection II

I promised I would look for a similar dress to those seen on Stella McCartney's collection. I must admit it hasn't been easy, but this ASOS floral dress is also flowy and has amazing colours (for only 26£!):

ASOS vintage floral loose fit dress: 26£

Bright Tribal II

After seeing Diane Von Furstenberg's 2010 Spring collection (and Malandrino's) and her amazing tribal dresses I started looking for similar ones on the high street and I really like this one. Even though it is not at all like DVF's, it checks four trends: Tribal, Bright, Maxi and a bargain (always a major trend :) )

New Look tribal halter maxi dress: 30£

Carmen Miranda

I know America's next top model cycle 12 ended a while ago, but as soon as I saw this Topshop playsuit I thought of the episode where the models went to Brasil and were styled like Carmen Miranda. It is not easy to work this look with fruits in your head, so try it on a playsuit with bright colours instead:
