Ask anyone who has ever encroached the subject with me and they can tell you that I stand firm in my belief that Summer denim shorts are best served with a pockets exposed beyond their hem. We've looked at the subtle, but then there are those denim shorts, such as this pair from Dsquared2, which take exposed pockets and make them a statement piece. So much so, in this instance, that they compete with the Chanel sandals for your attention.

This may be something I've mentioned before, especially with regards to Billy Kidd's photography, but it's worth reiterating. With minimal styling - in this case a simple black lace bra and some thigh high socks - absence of colour and no-fuss backdrops, it's up to the photographer and the model to create all the depth and engagement in a shoot. Kaja Sokola brings the poses and emotion in this one that perfectly compliment the striking photography.

Can anyone else pull off a thigh high dress slit with the effortlessness of Angelina Jolie?

An exercise in retro ladylike glamour, with '60s full skirts and adorable soft styling, this pictorial from Elle Sweden has us smitten. Note how well an understated knit and slouched down pair of socks in heels can tone down an otherwise glamorously vintage look.

Forever New's philosophy is in bringing out the feminine girly-girl who (supposedly) resides inside every one of us; and at last night's launch of the retailer's new collection, that philosophy shone through like a supernova in a pitch black sky. In sticking to their signature style the brand keeps its following frilled, flowered, and above all faithful. That much was clear from the crowd in attendance: not since it's early days would the grand ballroom at the historic Rippon Lea Estate have housed so many blonde curls and ruffled gowns (though undoubtedly now with shorter hemlines).
With her pumpkin pie sweetness and crystal clear voice, popstar Delta Goodrem turned out to be a well chosen poster girl for the collection, performing a couple of numbers on a white baby grand while wearing a floor-length strapless gown from the collection. The parade that followed was not short on outfits, giving us everything from casual maxi-dresses and denim pieces through to garden party frocks and cocktail numbers.

When it comes to festival fashion, what could be better than a peep of toned midriff above some relaxed, cuffed shorts?
The addition of some winged shoes, of course.

The super saturated imagery lensed by Elvis Di Fazio for Wheels and Dollbaby's 2010 fall campaign makes the most of Tiah Eckhardt's bombshell red hair. The photographs feature a set of twisted vintage inspired scenarios, our favourite is the nod to cowboys with Tiah mounted haphazardly atop a rocking horse.

A fusion of military and safari influences, capped off by a sultry pair of over the knee boots; the thing that's most grabbing about this particular shot, though, is the vintage feel of it. The safari theme harks back somewhat to Veruschka's safari shot in YSL.

Indulging in cake, jumping on beds, having pillow fights and all the while clutching some of Mulberry's latest luxury handbags. A day in the life of models Abbey Lee Kershaw and Hanne Gaby Odiele must be oh so tough.

Less of a look book and more of a thematic expedition, Dolce & Gabanna mark their Fall 2010 collection with this series of images taken against a backdrop of dramatic red velvet.
Try to restrain your attention under the ambush of bright jewel-toned leopard prints and winsome floral garlands; before the look book transitions to elegant sheath dresses, then onto prim female dandy looks (still with the leopard theme carrying through) - occasionally detouring into a spot of velvet. Last stop: '30s inspired ballerina gowns and fishtail dresses that wouldn't look out of place on a Dior runway.
