Kate visits Oxford wearing Orla Kiely
The Duchess of Cambridge showed her fun side when she visited Oxford as part of The Art Project. She wore a gorgeous winter coat dress with a Dove Print by Irish designer Orla Kiely..,and promptly sparked yet another sell out. She also again showed her thrifty side by wearing another dress purchased at a sale price. The Birdie wool Jacquard shirt dress in Walnut has proved to be an instant sell-out, both in the walnut shade that Kate wore, and also in the turquoise shade. In fact, all the dresses that feature this print have now sold out, another sign of the positive effect Kate holds over fashion at the…

Coast- getting ready for the Wedding season.
It’s only February, and already I have three invites to weddings. Wedding season is not yet upon us, and I’m already dreading the ‘What do I wear?’ problems. You see, weddings used to be so easy.

Thankfully Coast always seem to have something that will suit. So whether you are opting for a full length and fabulous dress, a flirty floral number or something simple and…

More High Street Hits for Kate
The Duchess of Cambridge paid a visit to Liverpool this week, and again she showed that even with all the World’s top designers at her feet, she is still a High Street girl at heart. This time the store of choice was Hobbs, and the item of choice was a beautiful brown calf length coat with a skinny belt. The coat was the Unlimited Celeste Flared coat, that was reduced in the sale to £182. I say was, because, as with every item worn by the Duchess, this coat sold out within hours of the Liverpool visit. However, I have added the link to the coat below as clever Hobbs…

When Fashion-Mommy met Stella McCartney
Last week I had the most amazing email pop into the inbox. ‘Would I like to take part in a special question and answer session with Stella McCartney and the Vogue editor Alexander Schulman. This was taking place at Selfridges, London, as part of the Stella McCartney takeover to commemorate the launch of Stella’s new perfume, L.I.L.Y.

Here are some selected highlights. On her starting points for her collections I take my last collection…
