Step into May with a fresh, do-it-all dress …
As we edge closer to summertime and holiday season, there’s nothing like a do-it-all dress that will work overtime. This season has been a big one for the dress – with styles ranging from puff-sleeve and midi-lengths to bold patterns and tent shapes. Meanwhile, minimalists will love the sleekness of the halterneck and racer-back styles which abound, both on the high street and from mid-range brands. Here are twelve we love right now, to kick-start your dress shopping.

She is the queen of no makeup makeup and even manages to make a smokey eye look subtle. When everyone else was going for heavy contour and laminated eyebrows, she continued to promote enhancing your natural features with simple tricks and smart product placement. If you have seen any of her videos, you will notice how little product she actually uses. Even Victoria Beckham commented how surprised she was when she went to remove her makeup after a shoot with Lisa on how little product was applied.
