Get Grace's poolside look in a classic blue bikini

As one of our favourite of the new TOWIE cast members, Grace has really caught our eye in the wardrobe department.
From her floor-skimming maxi dresses, to her simple skinny jeans and towering heels, this Essex girl sure knows how to put an outfit together. And, despite wearing considerably fewer layers on holiday, her look translates pretty well to the beach too.
Between them the whole crew seemed to have packed the contents of the entire British high street into their overflowing suitcases this summer (god forbid they wear anything more than once!). And, they might have swapped Marbs for Mallorca but these two sure know how to pack a punch by the pool.
A classic triangle two-piece is the ultimate holiday staple and, if you're keen to jazz up your beach look, a spot of colour-blocking and/or embellishment is a must. So, pick up Grace’s diamante-trimmed bikini by clicking through to Bondi Couture’s website now, or shop our favourite alternatives to find your perfect fit.

Give your look a lift in wedges by Michael Kors

When it comes to style staples for the summer months, espadrille wedges are up there with the best. They'll go with any ensemble you can imagine and will always lend your look that bit of luxe.
Need some inspiration? Look to Melanie Sykes, who cuts a ladylike figure in a navy midi dress, a crossbody bag and these cut out canvas wedges. The espadrille heel adds a whole lot of extra height whilst staying practical. And to prove it, it looks like Melanie is about to hop on the back of a motorbike!
They're by Michael Kors and we love the zip front detail. They're also available in tiger print, colour pop orange and classic black, but this nude hue promises to lengthen those legs effortlessly. But the best thing about them is that they're now in the sale at Daniel Footwear! Click (right) to buy yours now.

Make like Sam and invest in some designer sunnies this summer

Essex gal Sam Faiers actually has rather a lot in common with Kim Kardashian. They've both got stylish siblings, are reality television queens, love shopping (judging by those huge yellow Selfridges bags!) and have wardrobes worth a fortune.
But there's one other thing they share too. They don't need the sun to be shining to wear their statement sunglasses! The flat top and square shape of Sam's make them instantly recognisable. They're by Celine and they're exactly the same ones we've spotted countless times on Kim herself. And incidentally she usually sports them with her gym kit too!
Every summer there is one style that's the star of the sunglasses scene, and we reckon these are a serious contender. You do pay the price for such credentials, however, and these will set you back £203. Click (right) to get yours now.
But if you'd rather spend your money on a Selfridges shopping spree, check out the looks for less we've found in our edit below. Topshop's square frames are top of our list, or there's a bargain buy at Asos.

A classic monochrome dress is the definitive party staple. Whether you opt for mini, midi or maxi length, it is guaranteed to keep you looking chic and feminine at once. What’s more, it can be dressed up or down according to the event. Add one of this season’s hottest prints and you’re good to go.
Luckily the high street has some lovely options to help us channel the look. Wear Miss Selfridge's floral skater dress (below) with stand out neon accents for a quirky approach to the look.

Let us present the white disco dress: go forth and sparkle

A wedding dress custom made by Emilio Pucci's Peter Dundas? We don't mind if we do and it looks as though, TV presenter Fearne Cotton definitely didn't mind saying 'I do' to Jesse Wood when wearing it.

Sure it's a traditional shade of ivory but the silver sequinned V embellishment at the neckline give it a thoroughly disco-esque make-over. Well, what do you expect, she's marrying into the Rolling Stones dynasty after all!

And while she may not actually need to recycle her wedding dress, you could definitely get away with wearing it to a smart evening do. Minus the tell-tale bouquet of course.

Unless you're under 12 or heavily into the Pre Raphaelites, a dose of sparkle or embellishment gives a plain white gown some much needed edge.

First it was Kim Kardashian, then Poppy Delevingne, but now they've got competition for celebrity wedding of the year from Radio One DJ Fearne Cotton!

Fellow brand fans include Cara Delevingne, Kelly Brook and Kate Bosworth, so she's keeping good company.

Keep it short and sweet in Denise's paisley playsuit

One of our favourite things about Fearne Cotton is her quirky style, so her wedding was never going to be your average maxi dress and fascinator sort of affair. Her Emilio Pucci dress was a one-off, and even the mother of the bride wore hot pink heels!
Once we had finished swooning over Fearne's frock, we just had to turn our attention to the celebrity guests. And Denise Van Outen definitely turned heads in her super cute paisley print playsuit.
Denise's playsuit is perfect for a summer wedding. It's a chance to show off your pins, we love the pale blue hue and there's very little danger of turning up in a similar outfit to the bride's!
She might have gone high end with her metallic caged heels and Saint Laurent clutch bag, but when it came to her playsuit, it's right up our street. The virtual high street, that is. Her so-called Molly style is from Motel and you can buy it by clicking the link (right) now
Alternatively, the black and white version is now less than half price at just £19, or Asos has got an impressive selection of paisley one-pieces just waiting for you to take your pick!

Take centre stage in sunshine shades of orange

She just wouldn't be the Lily Allen we know and love if she wasn't wearing clashy colours. Remember her BRITs dress earlier this year? Or the Roksanda Ilincic frock she rocked at the NME awards?
Well she’s at it again, taking to the stage wearing an orange leather pencil skirt, which she teamed with a blue metallic bustier and a pair of vertiginous platform heels.
With a little bit of help from Kim Kardashian, over the past couple of seasons the leather pencil skirt has become a wardrobe staple. But why stick to boring old black? Especially now that the sun is out! A skirt like Lily's would offset sun kissed skin perfectly when paired with a simple camisole and barely there heels.
She loves to wear high end designers and this leather one looks pretty luxe, but Lily's look is easy to achieve on the high street. H&M hot option is our favourite - it's even got the top to bottom zip detailing!

Wear a pretty ballerina dress like Lucy Mecklenburgh

Lucy Mecklenburgh looked like a little ballerina herself as she headed to the theatre to watch Billy Elliot the musical with her beau, tumble gymnast Billy George- we wonder if he got some ideas for new routines?
Lucy’s lacy topped, pleated midi dress was not only a topical choice for the show, but also very stylish and perfect for summer. We love this dress as it nails two key trends in one- lace and pleats- whilst the fit and flare shape is always flattering.
You can bag Lucy’s exact dress from Oasis (click right) and it’s also available in blue (see below), both colourways are on sale at nearly half price, so grab a bargain before they all sell out!
We’ve also found some great alternatives from ASOS and Warehouse so you’re sure to find a colour and skirt length to suit you.
Perfect for the wedding season go for a pastel colour, and team with matching accessories like Lucy who’s wearing Zara sandals and a Reiss clutch bag. Alternatively, opt for a black dress and team with blingy accessories if you’ve got a champagne soiree to attend.

Keep your cool in a jungle printed sundress

A savvy shopper is our Katherine Jenkins and no mistake. This exotic foliage printed sundress looks reassuringly expensive (we're thinking Hermes jungle printed SS14 collection), however, on closer inspection, it actually comes from high street stalwart, Zara.

Even if she got it at full price she got herself a bargain but if you can rock an extra small, it can now be your for £19.99! Resoundingly flattering, Fashion Finder's only caveat is that, like Katherine you need to wear this one with heels to avoid stumpy leg syndrome, but still!

So to your options. We spotted this one from River Island's Chelsea Girl line - squint and it might just be Dolce from a couple of seasons ago - which we're rather fond of but if you favour a wider strap like Katherine, go for French Connection's Joni dress.

Head to Net-a-Porter to get Holly's hot heels in the sale

It's the ultimate fashion dilemma. What will THE dress be like, what should you do with your hair, and which shoes to choose? And that's just the wedding guests. We can't imagine what it would be like to be the actual bride (sadly!).
It can be particularly hard to know what to wear to a wedding when you're 1) pregnant and 2) the bride's BFF. But Holly Willoughby's look today was a master class in maternity style. No wonder she’s been named the celebrity with the best-dressed baby bump!
She wore a simple cream smock dress, but it was really all about the shoes. She chose these so-called Sunrise heels by Jimmy Choo and we just adore the gem embellishment down the front. The hot red hue was perfect when paired with a colour pop clutch and scarf, but the very best thing about these heels is that they're now in the sale at Net-a-Porter! Click (right) to buy yours.
But if £665 is still a bit on the pricey side (we feel your pain!), then check out the alternatives we've found for less. Jessica Simpson's Maniah heels are very Valentino-esque, or if you can't face high heels these Topshop sandals will be right up your street.

Look all-white in Ferne's on trend wide leg trousers

She almost broke up with TOWIE boyfriend Charlie Sims over flirting with a mysterious man in a pool, but Ferne McCann’s love life and fashion sense are going swimmingly since her return from Marbs.
The gregarious reality star stepped out in an all-white outfit consisting of a white layered sheer top and on-trend wide leg trousers from Mango which flattered her slimline physique.
And it was clear that Ferne looked perfectly comfortable in the pleated detail pants as she threw some rather questionable shapes on the Sugar Hut dance floor.
Billowing trousers have replaced our beloved skinnies this SS14, with some of our favourite designers including Paul Smith, Temperley London and 3.1 Phillip Lim seeing wide-leg numbers stride down the runways.
Ferne’s Mango trousers are currently running low on stock at John Lewis, but there are plenty of replicas on the high street to choose from.
Why not try ASOS’ relaxed wide leg £40 pair or Lipsy’s unusually cut plazzo pants in the sale for £22.50. We’d team ours with a Breton striped leotard and pool slides for an effortless summer look.

All white everything! Add a luxe finish to your look with a white bag

Top-to-toe whites might not be the most practical look for the majority of us who need to negotiate the circle line at 5pm or dash round the supermarket with a screaming toddler in hand, but that doesn't matter when you're a WAG.

Here Alex Gerrard looks the picture of bliss in her Stella McCartney reptile print dress which she has complimented perfectly with her luxurious Balenciaga bag.

Balenciaga bags carry a truly A-list status so if you want to add a dose of allusive glamour to your look like Alex why not click right to My Theresa to get a very similar style now? At £1,175 they are a teeny tiny bit pricey but can you really put a price on happiness?
