As soon as I was this picture of Louise Redknapp I couldn't resist doing a celebrity style steal as I think this sums up the perfect summer look - cool, classic, stylish & elegant not to mention timeless. I just love everything about it.
So here's how I'd steal Louise's style starting from the top down.
I love this Mango top & can't believe the price! Before compiling my style steal it was already on my radar as I reckon it would be a great top for wearing under jackets. Plus I really like the neckline too.

Now I haven't been able to find Louise's exact skirt from the high street but if you fancy something with a little bit of detailing then how about this lovely skirt from Morgan. Such a pretty maxi skirt perfect for summer holidays.
Or if you like a plainer looking maxi you're not going to go wrong with this Phase Eight one.
Now I can't see from the picture what colour or kind of shoes Louise is wearing with her outfit but I don't think you can ever go wrong teaming white with gold & these Steve Madden sandals are totally calling to me for our summer holidays. They'd be perfect for teaming with everything I plan to take from denim shorts, capri trousers to maxi skirts & summer dresses so a great multi tasker!
Keeping with gold for the accessories & I'd finish the outfit with this classic cuff from Banana Republic which I've featured many times on the blog & is now in the sale.
Together with this simple gold necklace from Massimo Dutti.
This really is the perfect outfit for keeping cool & stylish on hot summer days. So much so that I thought I'd recreate the look for my outfit of the day with similar items hanging in my wardrobe.

So what do you think is this a look you love as much as I do? The great thing about it is that even if the weather is cold/raining you can throw on a denim jacket & it will look just as stunning - a real summer classic.
Hope you get a chance to enjoy this glorious sunshine, I'm determined today to get an hour in the sun even if I have to have a meeting with my imaginary client ;-)
