Zara's May 2013 lookbook goes a little something like this: statement denim, fresh hues (both bright and light), and pops of fun prints. Starting with denim, we're smitten with two circle skirts that are perfectly retro. And when it comes to color palette, shades of cobalt, orange, crisp white, and baby pink should cover all the style-setter bases. Floral prints and stripes can be found on suits, skirts, and trousers, while another batch of sleek oversize clutches maintain their status as the perfect day-to-night accessory. For all this — plus a closer look at the Zara's signature cool-girl styling in action — click on for the complete lookbook now.

Topshop has launched its festival collection inspired by Kate Bosworth today, which ultimately plays into the brand's multidimensional, interactive Summer campaign. From the acid-washed denim dresses and buckle-strap wedges to the pink-dipped feather angel wings, silver slip dresses (made for frolicking), and essential white separates, the lineup has Bosworth's mark on every piece.

"To gain learning experience from the Topshop design team has been a great opportunity for me. Our intent was to create fresh, wearable, and effortless festival pieces. I am proud of our work together and I adore these pieces," Bosworth said. Along with the collection debut, a short film shot by Bosworth's fiancé, Michael Polish, entitled The Road to Coachella, was released today, too. The dreamy video reveals Kate Bosworth roaming Mono Lake, CA, in a handful of effortlessly styled Topshop looks.

Kate Upton graces Vogue's June cover, and in addition to modeling equestrian-chic separates in the accompanying spread, she also does what she's become famous for — showing off her enviable figure in gorgeous swimsuits. Looking every bit the picture-perfect pinup girl in suits from Dolce & Gabbana and Chanel, Kate's high-fashion beach pieces looked impossibly cool when paired with classic Ray-Ban Wayfarers and a tousled updo. Kate nails the modern bombshell look, and we're considering adopting it as our very own this season — starting with a retro-chic swimsuit. Whether you pair high-waisted bikini bottoms with a structured bra top or rock a '60s-style one-piece with nothing else, it's easy to achieve a figure-flattering poolside look, and we're helping you out by rounding up some of our own. Click through to shop 16 of our most-loved suits for the season ahead.
