From power puff kitten heels to the perfect white culottes, this month’s picks are knock out.

1. Power Puffs, £530 from Aquazurra

These powder puff kitten heels are super-fun for summer party season. Or wear them as our fashion director does: dressed down with kick-flare black denim and an oversize blouse.

Shoes, £530 from Aquazurra

2. Nod To The Noughties, £55 from [Quay]

We've spotted a micro trend: '90s sunnies - think Brad-era Gwyneth Paltrow. This collab between Kylie Jenner and Aussie brand Quay has nailed it.

Sunglasses, £55 from Quay at Asos

3. Tailor Made, £29.50 from M&S

Finding the perfect pair of white trousers can be tricky (and often traumatic). Look no further, than M&S's ankle-grazers.

Culotte, £29.50 from M&S

4. Tell Me Bout It, Stud, £50 from Office

These studded sandals are the perfect summer-in-the-city shoe. Our style ed's added them to her basket already and is planning on wearing them with, well, everything.

Shoes, £50 from Office

5. Catch It!, £295 from Sophie Hulme

The new Catch bag has arrived, sporting it's very own cocktail stirrer fastening (chic). We're crushing on the duck-egg blue version - a perfect addition to your bag-drobe.

Bag, £295 from Sophie Hulme

6. Button It, £123 from Nanushka

We've found the perfect cotton shirtdress from fashion ed fave Nanushka. Wear on your summer hols with your sandals and basket bag, and in the city with your Converse and supersize tote.

Dress, £123 from Nanushka

7. Silk Factor, £110 from Staud

Now this is how to do shorts - with a silk shirt and block-heel mules. Dreaming of the French Riviera yet?

Shirt, £110 from Staud
