<p>Stunning swimwear in stand-out designs can only mean one thing: summer is here!</p><p>And we've invited make-up pro and former Love Island contestant Kaz Crossley to style up the new collection by <a href="https://direct.asda.com/george/clothing/10,default,sc.html" target="_blank">George</a> - and put her own spin on it. </p><p>'I love summer', Kaz says. 'I love the sun and being tanned and I love the fashion. The new George summer range is very me. It's got lots of bright, bold colours with statement prints and patterns - it's my style all over'.</p><p>From style icons to fashion trends and her favourite picks from <a href="https://direct.asda.com/george/clothing/10,default,sc.html" target="_blank">George&rsquo;s new summer collection</a> - we grilled Kaz on everything. </p><h2>How would you describe your style? </h2><p>My style is all about wearing bold colours, statement prints and being different, but still sexy. During summer, I feel more fashionable as I love maxi dresses, long skirts and two pieces - but they&rsquo;ve got to be bright, colourful ones. The new George summer range is very me. There&rsquo;s lots of statement prints and patterns and the collection has really bold colours throughout. It&rsquo;s my style all over! </p><p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="screen_shot_2019-06-17_at_11.03.20" class="ci-image ci-original" src="https://ui3.assets-asda.com/dm/screen_shot_2019-06-17_at_11.03?scl=1"></p><h2>Do you have a favourite item from the collection? </h2><p>Yes! This <a href="https://direct.asda.com/george/women/tops/floral-bardot-crop-top-and-maxi-skirt-co-ord-outfit/SET4420,default,pd.html?cgid=D1M1G20C2" target="_blank">printed maxi skirt </a>because I love the pattern on it. It reminds me of being on holiday. I would style it with a plain, tight crop top, a red or orangey lip, chunky earrings and a matching headband. If I was going to dress it up, I&rsquo;d wear the matching top with my hair curly, some natural-looking make-up and some cute heels. </p><p style="text-align: center;"><img alt class="ci-image ci-original" src="https://ui3.assets-asda.com/dm/screen_shot_2019-07-16_at_15.56.04_GL?scl=1" style="height: 758px; width: 500px;"></p><h2>Who are your style icons?</h2><p>I look to celebrities like Rihanna and Bebe Rexha for all my style inspiration because they always make a statement. The way Bebe dresses, in particular, is very bright and she always looks like she is dressed for the red carpet. I also look on Instagram at influencers to see what they&rsquo;re wearing. </p><h2>Bikinis or swimsuits?</h2><p><a href="https://direct.asda.com/george/women/swimwear/navy-ditsy-floral-frill-bikini-top/GEM692480,default,pd.html?cgid=D22M1G1C2S1" target="_blank">Bikinis</a> are more me, plus, you get a better tan! I like all bikini styles but I really love <a href="https://direct.asda.com/george/women/swimwear/black-floral-print-balcony-bikini-top/GEM692286,default,pd.html?cgid=D1M1G20C15" target="_blank">bandeaus </a>like this <a href="https://direct.asda.com/george/women/swimwear/neon-coral-bandeau-twist-bikini-top/GEM691935,default,pd.html?cgid=D1M1G20C15" target="_blank">coral-coloured one because of the bright colour</a>. I think it&rsquo;s perfect for summer. If anything, I just really like my bikinis to match. I never mix and match them. </p><p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="screen_shot_2019-06-17_at_11.03.27" class="ci-image ci-original" src="https://ui3.assets-asda.com/dm/screen_shot_2019-06-17_at_11.03?scl=1"></p><h2>What trends are you loving this summer? </h2><p>I love the neon trend because I&rsquo;m such a fan of colour. I recently wore a lime green outfit and although I&rsquo;d never worn that colour before, I loved it as I think the shade really suited me. I also like the utility trend - like boiler suits because it&rsquo;s an easy outfit win. I wore one the other night, but I got so hot in it because it was fake leather. Luckily, I had a crop top underneath so I could unbutton it. </p><h2>Describe your holiday wardrobe…</h2><p>It&rsquo;s full of <a href="https://direct.asda.com/george/women/swimwear/fruit-print-plunge-maxi-cover-up-dress/GEM704567,default,pd.html?cgid=D1M1G20C15" target="_blank">maxi dresses</a>. They&rsquo;re my favourite item because they are so easy to wear - you don&rsquo;t want to wear lots of tight clothes when you&rsquo;re hot! I just love being free. Summer dresses, like the <a href="https://direct.asda.com/george/women/dresses/orange-pleated-halter-neck-maxi-dress/GEM714476,default,pd.html?cgid=D1M1G20C1" target="_blank">orange maxi dress</a> or <a href="https://direct.asda.com/george/women/swimwear/fruit-print-plunge-maxi-cover-up-dress/GEM704567,default,pd.html?cgid=D1M1G20C15" target="_blank">watermelon-printed maxi dress</a>, are what I&rsquo;ll be wearing this summer. I&rsquo;d just pair them with <a href="https://direct.asda.com/george/women/shoes/sandals-flip-flops/D1M1G20C20S11,default,sc.html" target="_blank">simple flip flops</a> and a bag. </p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://direct.asda.com/george/women/swimwear/fruit-print-plunge-maxi-cover-up-dress/GEM704567,default,pd.html?cgid=D1M1G20C15" target="_blank"><img alt class="ci-image ci-original" src="https://ui3.assets-asda.com/dm/screen_shot_2019-07-16_at_15.48.23_GL?scl=1" style="height: 755px; width: 500px;"></a></p><h2>Any tips for packing your suitcase?  </h2><p>Give yourself enough time to pack! I once went travelling and packed in an hour and had nothing to wear. Ha ha!</p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://direct.asda.com/george/women/swimwear/navy-ditsy-floral-frill-bikini-top/GEM692480,default,pd.html?cgid=D22M1G1C2S1" target="_blank"><img alt="screen_shot_2019-06-17_at_11.03.02" class="ci-image ci-original" src="https://ui3.assets-asda.com/dm/screen_shot_2019-06-17_at_11.03?scl=1"></a></p><h2>Any summer accessories you couldn&rsquo;t live without? </h2><p>I love my headbands. You can see in these pictures I&rsquo;ve almost always got a headband on. People know to expect me to wear a headband. </p><h2>What are your summer beauty essentials? </h2><p>Anything that glows - things like highlighter or bronzer are essential items to have in your holiday make-up bag. With a tan, I feel like you don&rsquo;t need a lot of make-up, but items that make your skin pop and look glowing are key. Lip-wise, I would always have a lip balm or lip gloss to keep them moisturized. In the summer it&rsquo;s not really about piling the make-up on. It&rsquo;s more about complimenting the tan you have and adding a pop of colour here and there. </p><h2>Any tips for staying in shape over the summer?</h2><p>I&rsquo;m always in shape over summer because I&rsquo;m always outside - either running or training in the park. I also do HIIT and I love doing Muay Thai because you get to let out all of your frustration, plus it tones your arms. If you&rsquo;re lacking in motivation, my tip would be to train with people. It&rsquo;s a great motivator. Also, go to a class &ndash; you&rsquo;ll meet new people and want to keep up with everyone else! </p><p><em>Feeling inspired to shop the new range?
