H&M
The Swedish super brand has been killing it with its chuck on dresses - and they go out of stock faster than the speed of light. While we loved Vogue Williams' pink dress, we're really into this leopard version. With an airy smocked bodice and the short puff sleeves, this is a dress you'll reach for time and time again.

How gorgeous is this new dress from French Connection?! The seersucker midi dress can be dressed down for a summer day with a pair of flat chunky sandals or a trainer, or it can be transformed into an evening outfit with a pair of strappy heels. Winning.
