The sun has finally made a return, so it’s time to embrace cheerful colours and joyful summer dresses again, and if you’re looking for some warm weather style inspiration, take note from Lorraine Kelly, who showed off the most beautiful, emerald green dress last week.
While presenting her morning show on Friday, the star wowed in a block coloured piece that ticked off a huge spring/summer fashion colour trend, and the all-over embroidered texture gave it a very luxe, designer vibe that would work for any special occasion over the coming months. We loved the look and expected it to come with a high-end price tag, so we were overjoyed to discover that it’s actually an affordable design by Love&Roses at Next - yes, really.
As you can imagine, a dreamy green dress like this one has been popular with shoppers, but there are still a few sizes available online, and you can find it along with some similar-toned buys below.
