Why the X Factor needs to back off Tulisa.
It’s the funniest news story of the fashion day, the news that new X Factor judge Tulisa is going to be given a £70,oo0 makeover because producers are worried that she is too chavvy! It’s had me in bits most of the day but also set me thinking, DID THE PRODUCERS NOT LOOK AT PICTURES OF TULISA BEFORE THEY GAVE HER THE JOB? Tulisa is chavvy, but this has always been her style. She is an urban artist with the band NDubz, working with her cousin Dappy, a man never seen without some sort of woolly hat. Who exactly did the idiots at X Factor think NDubz were – a…

Meanwhile…In Pippa land.
The rise and rise of Pippa Middleton appears to be gathering pace with her unveiled as the cover girl for the August Edition of Tatler. Using a beautiful image of the world’s most famous bridesmaid in a decoupage style setting, Pippa is the second Middleton girl to get a Tatler cover this year. Pippa’s profile continues to grow. The BBC is apparently desperate to get her to appear on Strictly Come dancing this Autumn, whilst R&B charmer Usher is apparently keen to use her charms for his new underwear range. Her appearances at Wimbledon last week led to a sell out for Hobbs, when she wore the Wyldes red linen…

The Duchess of Cambridge – Let’s give Kate a break.
Well, it had to happen, the knives are already out in the fashion world for Kate, Duchess of Cambridge. The always immaculate Duchess is being criticised online for her choice of wardrobe for the tour of Canada. I am beginning to feel really sorry for Kate, it seems that she really can’t please all the people, all the time. When she wears the High Street she is told she should be supporting British Designers by the likes of Vogue’s Alexandra Shulman and Grazia’s Laura Craik. When she recycles outfits there are moans about wearing something new. And now she is being accused of playing it too safe and being boring!…

It’s Christopher Beales for Frost/French Sadie Frost.
In all the excitement about Kate Moss’s wedding, we didn’t really get chance to examine what the guests were wearing. Well, it has emerged that Sadie Frost was wearing a custom-made outfit by designer Christopher Beales, and it seems the designer may be a new favourite of the Frost/French Floozie founder. Sadie is known for her love of vintage styling, something often seen in her Floozie swimwear, and so this is the perfect choice for the actress and fashion designer. We only got to glimpse Sadie through the car window, but she was wearing a retro looking striped outfit called the ‘Point Pleated’ which consisted of a striped dress and…

Peacocks to release a royal wedding dress for just £60!
Fab High Street store Peacocks were one of the stores who had success with a copy of the Reiss engagement dress, and now they have launched what must be the most reasonably priced copy of the Sarah Burton wedding dress, priced at just £60. This dress is going to be launched as part of the Editions range as an online exclusive on August 6th, and is expected to be an instant sell-out. This is the first time that Peacocks has sold a wedding dress, and I think this is a very clever move, as this retains the spirit of the royal wedding dress, if not being an identical copy. Antonella…
