If Dorothy Perkins was a real-life gal pal, she'd be our fashion bff -imagine the clothes swap parties!

The high street hottie has launched its spring/summer collection and all we can say is - we likey! A lot!

The preppy looks of Gossip Girl have influenced some of the spring ranges, while, for high summer, we'll be going all ethnic in Bali and Tahiti-inspired designs.

We'll also be playing dress-up in playsuits, culottes and pretty dresses covered in everything from spots and stripes to ditsy prints.

And if you've still got them hanging in your wardrobe from last season, re-launch those shrunken blazers and lace-up biker boots, they're still hot for 2010

Soft colours set the scene for spring, with creams, nudes, peaches and blush tones providing the colour palette.

And be prepared to channel your inner Little House on the Prairie heroine, with lots of broderie anglaise, crochet and lace trims.

We'll also be stepping out in DP's peep-toe ankle boots while slinging a slouchy studded bag over our shoulder.

But oh my, are we loving the accessories!

Dotty P has always proved reliable when it comes to finishing touches, but this season we're in accessory heaven.

It's all about oversize bows adorned with buttons and ribbon, Alice bands with giant flower motifs and the most adorable oversized pearl wrist corsage (£12 pictured above) - we want!
