The ever recycling Duchess of Cambridge
As an avid Duchess of Cambridge watcher, I am totally obsessed with her wardrobe. But more and more lately, I am having instances of deja vu, as Kate recycles her outfits over and over again. And I have been struck by a thought. This recycling is not just about Kate being frugal, or making that wardrobe earn its keep. This is also about everyone knowing that Kate is thrifty, everyone recognising that in this time of economic hardship, the Duchess is trying hard not to flaunt her extravagance.

It’s not very often you get a press release that makes you wonder with awe about people who really want to make a difference to someone elses life. I received one today from the lovely Faith Brotherston, who told me that this story wasn’t really about fashion, although it does involve someone with beautiful long hair, and the Birmingham super salon Puro Hair.This is instead an inspirational story of how one young woman’s much admired locks are going to help children suffering from dreadful cancers. It was also a tale of how Fashion-Mommy readers could help the lady in question to raise money to give very poorly children special treats through…

Celebrity High Street Style featuring Cheska Hull, Una Healy and Caggie Dunlop
It’s time for another celebrity style round-up, this one featuring style from the High Street and online that is totally affordable for anyone who wants to ‘get the look’. There is just so much good stuff on the High Street at the moment that it is no wonder that some fashion obsessed celebs have found it very easy to step away from the designer labels in order to embrace a more affordable style. Here are some of the top spots from the last few months. Gemma Cairney in Nelly. Gemma Cairney was the celebrity DJ at the Nelly launch, so it is not surprising that she sported a very pretty…
