Time to start getting the essential Spring wardrobe items together for that all important surf holiday away.  It's all about combining retro styles with brights this season, so we thought we would do the hard work for you and pick out some favourites from the highstreet and surf brands.  Happy shopping.
 
  • Quiksilver Women Story Dress
€75/£65

 
We are loving Quiksilver's new Women's line.  It is like Roxy has grown up, visited the 70s and got inspiration from her mothers vintage wardrobe.  Luckily for us Quiksilver know how to work with pattern, so the beloved maxi dresses of last year are back and ready to go.
 
 
  • Billabong Artist T-Shirt
€41/£36



 
Keeping with the retro theme, Billabong have created t-shirts with a difference.  Using funky artists to design eclectic prints is the theme for Spring, and brings in some well welcomed variation to t-shirt designs. 
 
 
  • H&M Demin Shorts
€17/£14.99


 
An oldie but a goodie.  You can't beat a pair of faded denim shorts to chuck on with almost anything.  Perfect for the beach or going out on holiday, H&M have put together a good collection of basics to compliment even the craziest of ensembles.

  • O'Neill Benue River Jacket
€80/£69.99

 
For those rare duller days, or simply because you fancy something bright, O'Neill has brought out some good strong colours. Block colours are a big trend this Spring, so combining the warmth of a jacket for evenings at the beach with the bright blue is simple, but genius.

  • Volcom Tie-Dye Inspired Bikini
€31/£26.99

 
Just when you thought tie-dye had been left in the 60s, here it is reinvented.  Volcom has done a great job of using tie-dye techniques with a modern twist to create interesting bikini prints for Spring.  Time to do some pic-n-mix.
