1. Long Strap Bucket Bag
One way to steal Diane Kruger's summer style is to make a lovely bucket bag. This tutorial (find the links for the complete tutorial on the last page of this post) will show you a way to sew a gold faux leather bucket bag with a long strap. If you want a bag much closer in style to what Diane used, using floral fabric is the way to go.
2. Rope Bucket Bag
Does this not exude a more summery look? I love the rope strap and the printed fabric. If you're not a fan of the long-strap bucket bag, this version should suit you just fine. Personally, I prefer this because it looks like it can hold a lot of my things.

3. Glitter Sandals
This is a DIY that I have linked to before. Since this is very similar to what Diane Kruger is wearing, I thought I should highlight it here again. You will need a pair of H&M sandals for this DIY project. You glue glitter to the front straps, seal with clear nail polish, let dry, and you're done.
4. Mod Podged Glitter Sandals
Here is another way to add glitter to an old pair of sandals. Instead of using normal white glue, you will be using Mod Podge. You will have to use this amazing product if you want your DIY glitter sandals to last much longer.
5. Cut-off Shorts
Does your summer mean donning a pair of cut-off shorts? If you answered yes, you may just be style twins with Diane Kruger. To make your own pair of cut-off shorts, you will need a pair of old jeans with the bottom parts cut off. Distress the hem and wear with style.
