You can't fail to have a good time in a brightly coloured skater dress like Myleene Klass

Myleene Klass has always seemed rather pristine to us in a butter wouldn't melt kind of a way so it's seriously refreshing to see her letting her hair down and partying to the max (she seems to be guzzling mineral water as opposed to champagne but still!) So what's brought this on we hear you cry? Maybe it's her dress's fault. You see you can't just blend in with the furniture in a fluro print dress - especially if it's made in a skater shape. This dress wants to spin around and party and its wearer absolutely has to follow suit. This sort of dress will take you from summer's day to balmy evening with ease - simply add heels. Fashion Finder's favourite is the French Connection Belle Garden Dress - monochrome picked out with slashes of turquoise. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle...

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...

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...

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. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle...
