Summer Must-Have: The Light Lace Dress

When I think of essentials for a summer wardrobe, the light lace dress instantly comes to mind. I can not think of any other piece of clothing that is more girly, flirty or summery than this type of dress. Dolce & Gabbana's S/S 2011 collection was filled with the most dreamy lace dresses I have ever seen, and has sparked the need for such dresses even more for this season. One of my favourite inspirations when it comes to wearing a lace dress, is this outfit worn by Chanel Iman. I love, love, love the bohemian details such as the floppy hat, the light brown bag and heels and that lovely necklace. This is the perfect outfit for a festival!

Chloë Sevigny has opted for a slightly different and more contrasting look with this outfit. Her cute, crisp and white lace dress stands out against her black, chunky shoes. The flaming, red lipstick is such a great detail against the black/white combination. They don't call Chloë Sevigny a style icon for nothing!

Is the lace dress an essential piece in your summer wardrobe? If so, how do you style it?

Summer Must-Have: The Yellow Bag

As we have just seen the end of the easter celebrations, there is no doubt when saying that yellow is one of the most current colours at the moment. However, fashion-lovers won't be quick to leave this trend behind as it was one of the most exciting colours on the runway for the S/S 2011 collections. All shades of the colour were represented on the catwalk; from a pale, creamy yellow at Chanel to a bolder and brighter shade at Christian Dior.

Swedish blogger, Angelica Blick, has picked up this trend, and showed off a gorgeous yellow bag on her blog a few days back, teaming it with a simple and chic outfit. The bag (and the outfit!) has been on my mind ever since I lay eyes on it.

The bag is from Zara, and can be used both as a clutch and a shoulder-bag. Perfect for making an elegant outfit so much more exciting! If you're not too keen on yellow, the bag is also in the colours red, green and blue.

Do you like this trend? Will you be purchasing something yellow for summer?
