Delightful Dress: New Romantics He Loves Me Best Dress from Free People

I love the boutique Free People as its product range successfully combines femininity and romanticism with edginess and sass.   There are so many gorgeous items available in their sale, but my favourite dress is this cream coloured dotted chiffon maxi dress.  It's ruffle-y, delicate and light yet unconventional - I love the quirkiness of the asymmetric, tiered bottom and crochet trimming and studs around the waist.  This means it can be styled as in the picture, with Doc Martens and chunky, metallic accessories - or keep it floaty and light with some strappy flat sandals.  Originally £250, it's currently £169.95 in the sale in sizes US 4 to 8 (8 to 12 UK).

While I am at it, I'm going to throw in this fab twisted snake ring which is just awesome.  It's also on sale, reduced from £20 to £16.95.  It would go perfectly with the dress, I feel!

Delightful Dresses: Modcloth Sale

The Modcloth sale is on with up to 50% off some gorgeous, vintage-inspired pieces and, quite frankly, if they're doing a sale, I'm going to find a perfect dress!  There are two types of dress that I have been after.  The first is a retro summer dress, that I could wear to an afternoon, vintage-themed tea party and maybe go for a little dance afterwards at a Lindy Hop club!  I've chosen this 'Head Bow-ver Heels' dress by Knitted Dove which is half price at $58.99 (about £39).  The style and shape, with the empire line waist, is very flattering and the white bow collar is just charming.
The second dress I want is something I can wear to the office and be cool and chic, but also something that I can wear in the day when not in the office.  And I have found two!  The first is this 'Stop and Smell the Hibiscus' shift dress by Tulle Clothing which is half price at $34.99 (about £23).  The navy, fuchsia, coral, red and white floral pattern is subtle but pretty and the collar makes it work well for the office.  The belt is removable, but will flatter the waist brilliantly.
Another dress I would wear to the office, as well as out and about, is this chiffon 'Strolling the Seashore' dress in mint green.  It's a similar style to the above but I love the colour combination and attention to detail.  Again, it's half price at just $24.99 (about £16.50).
So many dresses, so little time!  There are literally thousands of dresses in the sale - as well as other clothing and accessories - so it's a perfect time to grab a real bargain.

Delightful Dress: Dakota Maxi Dress from Darling

There's 20% off everything as standard at Darling Clothes this Bank Holiday weekend (until midnight tonight), and there are some really gorgeous and pretty items available on the site.

I love this Dakota maxi dress which is available in white or cobalt blue in sizes extra-small to extra-large.  Maxi dresses are a key staple for the warmer months and this chiffon, Grecian-inspired sleeveless gown is fabulous.  The vertical stripes of charming applique, v-neck, tie waist and pleated details along the top of this fully lined piece will flatter enormously.  It's stunning for daytime and has major glam factor for the evening.  Team with wedges for the perfect look.

With 20% off, it's £60 instead of the usual £75 with free delivery.

Terrific Top: Ted Baker Friendy Wallpaper Floral Print Top from Tucci

Sheer floral fabric, draping beautifully and refreshingly cool yet feminine styling sum up a perfect summer top for me, and this Ted Baker Friendy wallpaper floral print ecru green bow top epitomises the ideal.  This sleeveless top is accented with an elasticated neckline and pretty bow at the shoulder and will complement everyone's summer wardrobe.

It's available from a range of online shops, including Ted Baker itself, for £69.  However, as ever, the canny shopper is able to get a discount.  I've found online designer clothing retailer Tucci Store, which offers subscribers to its newsletter 10% off - so it can be bought for £62.10.
