    Kate the Great…and for once I don’t mean Middleton!

    According to all reports, this week has seen the double Oscar-winning actress Kate Winslet turning into a super hero. Kate was a guest at the Necker home of Richard Branson when fire broke out following a tropical storm. Kate helped to clear the house of all the people present, and apparently helped save Richard Branson’s ninety-year old mother. I frankly adore Kate. She’s an amazing, luminous actress with talent in spades. She’s beautiful, but in a natural,  rather than over glossed way. And I totally adore her personal style. So, in tribute to Kate, who has just added Super-hero to that already impressive resume, here are some of my favourite…

    V festival fashion- who was top of the pops?

    For many festivals have become as much about watching the fashion as about the music. In the case of this years V festival I can say it was probably more interesting. As someone who loves Oasis, Kasabian, The Killers, Strokes etc, I can say that guitar bands seem to be in short supply, and there was an awful lot of pop and R&B/Rap on the menu. But festival style seems to improve each year. Here are some of my favourites, both on and off the stage. Rihanna I loved that Rihanna flew the flag in this cute Union Jack crop top. She has the body to make anything look good,…

    Benefit launching new beauty bar in Harvey Nichols,Birmingham.

      Don’t you just love Benefit cosmetics! Where would we be without Benetint to add a bit of colour to our cheeks, or High Beam to highlight those (almost) non-existent cheekbones. For those of you who don’t know the brand, Benefit is a fabulously quirky collection of make-up and beauty must haves that come in the most amazing retro packaging that make them appear to have come direct from a 1950s make-up bag. They bring the fun into make-up, and from September 3rd, they will  be available from Harvey Nichols, Birmingham, when a new Benefit bar is opened. This is great news for all beauty fans. Harvey Nichols already has…

    Next – Desert Dream Styling Challenge

    Next continue to tantalize us with their new season collections. The latest unveiling is the Desert Dream Collection. This is the softest of  palettes, blush, browns, corals and light pinks that look so pretty as we start to move towards autumn.  Soft wispy pleats, pink and charcoal skinny jeans, wool and faux fur promising a feminine yet edgy look for the transition season. The challenge is how would Fashion-Mommy style her pick of the new pieces. Inspiration can come from many sources, and is always a personal choice. I spent my evening watching the Sex in the City movie, and one of my favourite scenes is the New Years Eve…

    Pippa Middleton – The Dress Code.

    This week has been a bumper one for Pippa Middleton watchers. She has been spotted out and about not once, but three times this week, and each time she has been wearing a great dress. Here is the lowdown on the outfits this week in Pippa-land. Look 1 – The red cricket dress I speculated that this dress was possibly an high street design as Pippa is often spotted wearing dresses from the Higher end of the High street,like Whistles and Hobbs. But this pretty red dot design dress turned out to be from Issa! It seems that Daniella Hayalel never need to take out advertising again, because two of…
