You’re about to see this polka dot number everywhere
There have been many stand-out items this summer on Instagram, from that cult Realisation Par skirt to anything Reformation and Ghost dresses. But unfortunately, they sold out before you could double tab that #ootd pic. The good news though is that I've discovered another gem, and that one's still available - for now.
Shop now: Ashland Tank Dress for around £165 from For Love and Lemonds
Say hello to this slink polka dot number by American label For Love and Lemons. The Ashland Tank dress has been spotted on some of the most influential style bloggers Lucy Williams, Fanny Bourdette-Donon, Maya Stepper, Gizele Oliviera and P atricia Manfield.
The super cute yet versatile sun dress embodies the look we've all been aiming for during this heatwave, dubbed by Lucy Williams as the 00s it girl, which I love.
It works particularly well dressed down with biker boots or trainers, and you can wear it in the colder months too, paired with a chunky knit.

She moved to the UK permanently and has never looked back (though she does go back regularly to stock up on cheese and wine).
Although she's always loved fashion - she used to create scrapbooks of her favourite trends and looks, including Sienna Miller and Kate Moss' boho phase - her first job was at MoneySavingExpert.com, sourcing the best deals for everything from restaurants to designer sales.

Her favourite part of the job is discovering new brands and meeting designers, and travelling the world to attend events and fashion shows. Seeing her first Chanel runway IRL at Paris Fashion Week was a true pinch-me moment.
