Savvy Shopaholic - Zara

It may not be looking like summer outside right now, but with the August and September annual heatwave on it's way it's time to do some serious dress shopping.

Whether you are looking to meet with friends on a summers day, or let your hair down on a mad night out, summer dresses fit every occasion because they are short and loose fitting.

This week I've chosen to go with Zara, I've always loved both the style and quality of their clothes, and their fittings are always right on the mark. Plus they have a great sale on right now.

Remember, as always, everything I pick out is under €20.

Firstly I went for a few day time looks. I'm in love with this Frilled Dress for just €9.99, **STAR BUY** as well as the fact that this is a complete steal, I love the style of the dress.

The frills at the top and a tiny belt in the middle, creates some great layers, hiding those lumps and bumps we all like to keep at bay. The strapless look and short length creates the perfect beach look, but you can pair this with accessories also.

White is always the perfect colour on a summer's day, it's about the only time we can get away with it, put on a natural light tan, add a small denim jacket or blazer, add some gold bangles and strappy sandals, and away you go!

Next up is another day-time strapless look. This is an amazing offer, as it's down from €79.95 to just €19.99. The fabric on this is gorgeous with a pleated skirt, loving this Grey dress.

Once again it's all about the accessories, this can be worn during the day time or night. Short denim jackets are perfect for creating the day-time look, add this hat , for just €5.99, to achieve the perfect casual summer style.

To create the night-time look, I would add some killer high-heels, gold or silver chunky jewellery and a dark black blazer paired with a large black clutch.

Continuing with the night-time styles, I fell in love with this Green Halter-neck short for only €12.99.

Green is really starting to make it's comeback this season, and emerald or mint is my top choice. Just this week Slum Dog Millionaire actress Freida Pinto wore a beautiful mint green long dress at the premiere of Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes.

Freida Pinto has brought back the trend.

But let's focus on this emerald green dress from Zara. I love this halterneck style and everyone can wear green. Whether you are a dark brunette, fair-haired blonde or fiery red-head, there are tonnes of ways to make this colour work with your hair and skin tone.

My favourite colour to match with green has to be gold, I think the two colours are really vibrant together. I'm emphasising big chunky bangles today. It's the best way to go with these summer looks.

Next up red has always been one of my favourite colours, and if you are planning a nice dinner or a cocktail night out I would suggest this beauty.

For just €12.99 you can get this from Knitted red dress Zara. It may seem quite plain at first glance but there is so much you can do with this dress.

First of all the gorgeous V-neck allows for a long-drop necklace. Think of a piece with a long chain and a large symbol, like a ball or a heart.

Add a black blazer to this look, and you've got yourself a smart, elegant outfit for a sophisticated night out.

Finally, you need to have some killer (and cheap) heels to add to any of these outfits if you are planning on hitting the tiles.

You can get these Strappy Sandal heels for just €14.99 from Zara. The strappy look is perfect for the summer time, as everyone's wearing sandals at the moment, so it gives your look a more casual vibe.
