Midsummer's might be done and gone but summer is just getting into full swing if the latest drop from Dunnes Stores is anything to go by.

The Irish retailer is clearly banking on a fun fuelled July and August with its latest offering which serves as the backdrop to beach days, sun holidays, social gatherings and there's even a passing tribute to ultimate girly girl herself.

The new Savida line branches off into three distinct themes taking us from casual beach days, to preppy get togethers and beyond but with an overriding feeling of femininity and lashings of prints from chintzy florals to bold geometric shapes.

In other words, it begs to bring on the cocktails (or the mocktails) and lets get this summer sartorial show on the road.

First up, the very aptly timed Bella collections pays homage to everyone's favourite pink ambassador Barbie with a chocolate box selection of pieces in the mood boosting hue.

That includes a broderie anglaise style midi dress with a tiered skirt (€35) that's clearly a holiday purchase if ever there was one while the floral Bella tie shoulder floral mini dress is a strong contender for garden parties and barbecues and watching the tennis.

Along with the pink and florals, the Bella line also includes cool blues and crisp whites including the Satin Slip Dress which the brand is championing as a star buy and likely sell out.

The ironically named Cindy slip dress will set you back €30.

Cutesy ruffles, ice cream prints, and dainty knits in sugary shades round out the line.

If Bella is centered around easygoing beach days, the Hannah line is all about Riviera living at it's very best.

It's styled with the vivid azure blues and reds of the French Riviera with a splash of Italian dolce vita thrown in for good measure including the Capri light knit jumper and the ric rac dress.

It's been paired with the bejeweled wicker basket bag which is a series upgrade on the standard straw bags we tend to see at this time of year and priced at €25.

The Hannah line also features a bold red ruffle shirt that's an easy throw on with white trousers for work find on warmer days as well as paper bag denim shorts for a more grown up take on cut offs.
