As a fashion editor, I'm always on the hunt for the latest styles hitting the high street each week (because who doesn't love a bit of retail therapy, right?). Marks and Spencer is always my first pit stop. With the high street retailer's popularity skyrocketing this season, it can be a challenge to nab the newest styles before they're gone which is why you'll regularly find me loitering around the rails in my nearest store.

If you're wondering what I'm converting this week, well I'll let you into a little secret. I am particularly loving the leopard print trend which has taken over the high street this summer, and trust me when I say, yes you can wear it without looking like Bet Lynch. Wondering how?, reports the Mirror .

Well, if you thought M&S's affordable range couldn't get any better, I spotted the dreamiest leopard print dress in store, for under £50 and I just had to pop it straight into my shopping basket. The Pure Cotton Animal Print Midaxi Waisted Dress, £45 here is part of their popular M&S collection range and has literally just hit the stores, and dropped online yippee, meaning you can still shop it in most sizes,( regular and long lengths for ladies over 6ft). Every fashionista knows that a leopard print piece is a must-have in any wardrobe, and this flattering midi dress is no exception.

Made from 100% pure cotton, it's the perfect choice for those hot summer days. The dress has been designed with a waisted shape, which means it cinches at the waist to flatt.
