Former star of Made in Chelsea, Kimberly Garner, has revealed her stunning new swimwear range for Spring 2014.

Speaking about the collection, she described it as “elegant” but that her collection due out for summer will be more “cheeky”.

When asked about the MIC crowd, Kimberly admits they don’t speak much anymore: “I’ve been so busy … we kept in touch during the shoot but it’s been two years since I left.”

Hmm, we’d love to see Kimberly return – can you imagine Lucy Watson’s facial expressions?

Oasis’ new campaign for Spring/Summer 2014 is everything we could ever wish for.

With sorbet colours, bright pops and adorable patterns, Oasis have made sure we will definitely be in style.

Patterns are a serious trend this season, seen on anything from trousers to jumpsuits and you’ll be sure to stand out with one of these pieces.

With their summer dresses in sweet Sixties style and pastel colours, as well as sexy playsuits, we can’t wait for summer to arrive!

Oasis have also embraced the trend of matching this season, taking inspiration from the likes of Mollie King and Alexa Chung, which means you can now wear your favourite pattern from top to bottom!

If you want to look SHEmazing this summer, you really don’t have to spend a tonne of your time in the gym. In reality, the best thing you can do for your body and figure is to eat the right foods – those sit-ups won’t mean a thing if you’re filling your body with junk food.

Here are the best greens to eat if you want to achieve your goals:

Spinach
It’s packed with nutrients that will add volume to your food without any extra calories.

Peppermint
This leafy green is great for calming down stomach bloat and reducing indigestion.

Celery
Not only are they good to snack on, but celery also helps with fluid retention so the words ‘water weight’ will be a thing of the past.

Asparagus
As well as being an energy-packed food, asparagus helps normalise your sugar levels so you don’t have to worry about will-weakening cravings.

Kale
High in fibre, low in calories and contains zero fat – need we say more?
