Chloe loves this… because the ability to stick to one pale palette is the essential skill of the season. The runway was awash with pale hues in a variety of textures, pulling away from the more sombre dark tones of previous 'recession lead' seasons with an optimistic albeit more reserved style of dress. The matching of this light and airy sheer Marc Jacobs silk bow collared blouse in crème, juxtaposed by a heavy camel coloured wool-blend skirt from Stella McCartney is a perfect balance; just sexy enough with the translucent blouse, and structured enough in the starchy wool skirt. The perfect summer in the city look, they are essential staples for the season.

Caroline loves this… because the purple one has always been our favourite Quality Street, now Vivienne Westwood has translated the rich and sumptuous colour that is so synonymous with indulgence into the perfect cocktail dress. The asymmetric striped dress is like wrapping up your body in a little present, a full taffeta a line shape cinched at the waist with a simple belt accentuates the curves of the body, while the vertical stripes elongate and slim.

The perfect wardrobe piece to take you through the summer, and still be current through the coming seasons.
