Kate and Pippa’s Stylish Spring Weekend
This weekend saw the sun come back to raise all our spirits, and it proved to be another stylish weekend for the Middleton sisters, who showed us great ways to wear bold colour and pretty pastels. Whilst Kate was seen in a beautiful new dress from Emilia Wickstead, Pippa was rocking the same Issa dress that Kate wore for the engagement announcement in a gorgeous raspberry shade, showing that the Duchess isn’t the only person who retrieves things from the back of her wardrobe. Kate’s beautiful dress was from Emilia Wickstead, well-known for designing many aristocratic wedding dresses. In a very soft powder pink shade, this showed that the trend for…

Barbara Hulanicki’s latest drop for George – Jubilee fever
Barbara Hulanicki’s latest collection has arrived at Asda George, and it has a definite Jubilee feel to it. As regular readers of Fashion-Mommy know, I have great love for the Barbara Hulanicki and George collaboration. For a start, I love the very easy to wear designs that often come in stretch cotton or jersey. The collection is always hugely affordable and draws on Barbara’s iconic 60s and 70s designs for Biba. reviving beautiful prints for a new generation to enjoy. And I also think the collection always has something for everyone, from pretty skater style dresses to more sophisticated wrap styles. The latest collection is all about the red, white…

Sequins used to be a trend kept to Christmas parties and Las Vegas showgirls, but these days your wardrobe isn’t complete without a bit of glittering bling in it.

These days, sequins in ice cream shades are the perfect addition to your summer wardrobe. Celebrities from Olivia Palermo to the new Carrie Bradshaw, AnnaSophia Robb, have shown that sequins can actually be a very versatile addition to your capsule wardrobe, and High Street stores like French Connection, and online giants like Boohoo.com are all keying into the…

Kurt Geiger Press Day A/W 12/3 – Pretty in Punk
Last Thursday I attended a whole raft of press previews for Autumn/Winter 2012-13. I started with one of my favourite shoe retailers – Kurt Geiger. Now, people who have known me for a long time know that I have a long-standing love affair with the Kurt Geiger range. I have boxes and boxes of the most amazing Kurt Geiger, KG and Carvela shoes that I would never part with – if Kurt Geiger ever got shown at the Design Museum a la Louboutin, they could call on me! So I was really excited by the press day and the new collections, which was entitled ‘Pretty in Punk’. And I loved…
