Queens of Coachella
Coachella is here! Yes, the festival that is a triumph of good weather is happening as I write this, which means we are getting our first real view of festival style for 2014. Queen of Coachella Kate Bosworth is once again showing off her style credentials, first in a Carven playsuit, and then in a boho style white tunic for the H&M. Kate may be the Queen of Coachella, but she is not the only one showing off some serious style at the festival. Selena Gomez showed why white can be a good choice for a festival, as long as it isn’t a festival held in the UK, or anywhere…

Debenhams Summer Beauty Buzz
Last Thursday I had a truly lovely day in London attending a whole host of press days. I started my day with a real feast of beauty, and a mini celebration of all that is great about Summer, at the Debenhams Beauty press day, aka the Debenhams Beauty Buzz. This was a showcase for all that is new in Beauty for Summer, and also an excuse to try some new beauty products first hand. The weather outside was glorious, almost like a summer day, and inside the press office at the Debenhams flagship store on Oxford Street there was a definite flash-forward to holiday season. Candy striped deck chairs sat…

I was also sceptical about how it would blend into the skin. Well, I have to say that I have been totally converted by this product, and that from now on, this will…

Fashion Focus – Adding red to your wardrobe
Following on from yellow and blue, my latest colour focus is based on the hottest colour, one that is, quite literally, red hot. Yes, Red is having a bit of a moment, with a host of celebrities wearing the colour to a number of high profile events. From the gorgeous Kate Upton in a lighter shade of red that borders on coral, to Elle Fanning resembling a young Gwyneth Paltrow in a sizzling scarlett silk number, red is making an appearance in all its shades and glory. Red is a bit like the bright version of black in that it is one of those colours that never really goes away.…

Friday Fashion – Duchess Kate and more looks from the New Zealand Tour
I have to say I am loving the range of looks that Kate Middleton has been wearing on the Royal Tour of New Zealand. Even though, yet again, she has been criticised for playing it safe, and even ‘looking like an air hostess’, I think Kate has been showcasing a great range of British fashion, wearing two of her favourite designers in Jenny Packham and Alexander McQueen. There have also been a nod to trend, with vibrant blue and midi lengths being part of the look. Alexander McQueen For a visit to the Blenheim War Memorial Kate wore an Alexander McQueen bespoke frock coat in the most gorgeous shade…
