It was so hot on the tube today that I found myself dreaming of little summer dresses. I feel like I’ve been waiting for summer and then it’s suddenly here for a couple of moments, and I’m not quite ready for it. This cute little flora print dress is only £14.99 at Little Mistress!

I could easily wear something from Patricia Field’s shop in New York and I already have a drawer full of M&S underwear, but why am I reluctant to buy Patricia Field for M&S? I love the black sequin dress – you could have it for years in your wardrobe – for only £125.00 it seems a steal! I can’t resist the 1/2 gloves and the Red Hot Asymmetric Dress is only £65. I know it’s all a good deal and lots of women will love it. It hits all the marks: nice shapes, good fabrics, good price points, good selection – over 25 different pieces. Maybe it’s just too easy to go to M&S and find a hot Sex in the City dress?

The Short Leather Gloves – designed by Patricia Field
£15.00 – Very CB.
Maybe M&S and Patricia Field have made it a bit too easy. I know so many women have so little time to shop so Patricia Field’s collection could be the perfect solution, but for me I enjoy the hunt, the challenge – the true longing for that perfect dress.

The triangular shape (A -line) dress has been around since the early 50’s. It was originally designed to be worn with low heels and bouffant hair – it later transformed into the baby doll dress during the 60’s. Vintage 1960 trapeze dress, $126. The trapeze dress has proven very popular over the past few seasons as it’s fun and easy to wear. The modern trapeze dress looks great with the highest of heels and it’s important that the dress fits well on the shoulders. This style looks best with bare legs as it’s important to create a balance because the dress hides your shape. Many designers have lots of different takes on this dress. 
The Osman Yousefzada’s dress has more of a sheen, a satin feel and in pink it’s very in keeping with the 60’s baby doll dress! Osman Yousefzada, trapeze dress from Spring/Summer 07, Stockists: Selfridges, Liberty, Podium and Fred Segal, Saks 5th Avenue. 
I love Hannah Marshall’s dress, which is in silk chiffon and has many layers. Hannah Marshall trapeze dress from Spring/Summer 08, £1,299.00 at Nina and Lola.
The high street’s take on the trapeze dress is more A-line, is may not be as exciting as the trapeze dress but the shape is still inspired by the trapeze dress.
Topshop trapeze dress £45.00. Littlewoods swirl trapeze dress, £49.00.
