Be seen as a laidback gyspy queen

This year I have mellowed. Everything is longer: my hemlines, hair and days of summer stretching ahead of me. Taking inspiration from a mixture of Stevie Nicks and Florence and the Machine I want to wear cotton smock tops and angle length polka dot skirts that button down the middle; tightened by a skinny belt.

The new Spring/Summer Collection at Jigsaw seems made for my mood. A mixture of seventies nostalgia but modernised to show hints of a noughties style attitude. Don a floppy Birkin hat that flops at the edges, walk barefoot in a meadow, chew on a blade of grass in the romance of the half light. It is not necessary to be accompanied in this reverie. The perfect way to dress for an evening's dreaming.

Diane Kruger looked the best at Coachella

The three day festival in California has now become as much famous for its celebrity sightings as it has for its performances. This year was no exception, becoming almost a Brit affair for amongst the revellers were, Katy Perry, cosying up to Florence and the Machine's Robert Ackroyd, Rosie Huntington - Whiteley, showcasing the white shirt and denim hot pant combo, Kate Bosworth, Dita Von Teese chilling out with Kelly Osbourne and Emma Watson.

These celebs are as much scrutinised for who they 'hang with' at the event as the style choices they make when faced with a less than glamorous occasion. I have to say that Diane Kruger was an all round winner as her style choices echoed her outward happiness to be with other half, Joshua Jackson. They made a well dressed pair in matching nautical stripes and ear - to - ear grins.

The hat choice was on trend and a sensible choice to protect her head. She even showed us all how to wear the new cowboy boot trend with a cute summer dress. No wonder Jackson could not keep his eyes or hands off her. She was the queen of laid back cool by which I will happily rejoice and say: "eye, eye, sailor."
