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!

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

Mix it with either one of these combinations:

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:

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:

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£!):

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:
