Celebrity get the look with Jennifer Lopez, Nicole Scherzinger and Susannah Reid

Posted on June 24, 2014 by fashion-mommy

Whilst I’m soaking up some lovely sunny rays on my holidays in beautiful Menorca, I’ve left you with some of the great celebrity looks that have been making the magazines this month. And this one really is a mixed bag, with shoes from Dune, jewellery from Claudia Bradby and Zara Taylor London, dresses from Gorgeous Couture and Phase Eight, and a little bit of beach-wear, courtesy of the fabulous Lindsey Brown at Mya Blue Luxe, as seen on Jess Wright on ‘The Only Way is Marbs’ on Sunday.

There is also a fabulous get the celebrity look featuring one of my all time favourite actresses, the one and only Helen Mirren, who was snapped wearing what is now one of my favourite summer looks ever, white lace and pretty green and orange accents. I have created this look with some pieces from Boden and Clarks.

Finally, I have a great Aztec print jacket from M&S that is styled to summer perfection by Sam Faiers. This jacket just shows how far forward M&S have traveled in terms of style in recent times – can you ever imagine a TOWIE star from a few years ago admitting to anything other than M&S undies. No, me neither. But this piece is a fantastic wardrobe addition, and is also currently available at a special promotional price.

Enjoy the looks – let me know what catches your eye.

Spain has a stylish new queen

Posted on June 23, 2014 by fashion-mommy

Unless you have been living under a rock and have totally been ignoring the world’s news, you will not have missed the news that Spain has a new king, following the abdication of King Juan Carlos. And along with the new king, Felipe VI, we also have a very stylish new queen, Letizia. And boy, does she have a pretty amazing wardrobe.

Letizia is a former journalist and newsreader who married Felipe in May 2004. She is very popular in Spain, and much like the Duchess of Cambridge she has championed Spanish designers and High Street stores, from Felipe Varela and Lorenzo Caprile, to the much loved Mango and Zara. Her style is coolly elegant, she shines on a red carpet (I have to say she reminds me of Penelope Cruz), looking as glamorous as any Hollywood star, but she can also do low key style too, and often adopts a trouser suit for formal occasions, something Duchess Kate would never be able to do.

I have been looking through the endless photographs of the lovely new Queen of Spain and have chosen some of my favourite looks from Spain’s new style Queen.

Get set for Wimbledon with Tennis white style

Posted on June 21, 2014 by fashion-mommy

My favourite sporting tournament of all starts on Monday, with Andy Murray beginning his defence of his Wimbledon crown. I love tennis, it is my sport of choice to watch, and Wimbledon is just the epitome of a stylish tournament, with celebrities, royals and all-round beautiful people taking their places in the confines of the All-England Club.

Of course, one of the things that Wimbledon is most famous for is the all-white rule. At the recent Aegon Classic tournament, the ladies went gaga for a stunning blue and orange outfit sported by Daniela Hantuchova, but at Wimbledon, this sort of look would not be in the least bit acceptable. It is white, just white, clean, crisp and totally fresh.

The good news is that this season, the most stylish of celebrities have been adding white to their wardrobe, and sporting it on the red carpet, at awards ceremonies, and in their off duty wardrobes. And why not? White looks fab against a summer tan and on darker skin tones, can be ethereal on the pale and interesting, and always looks and feels cool, even when the temperatures reach maximum sweat.

Here are just a few of the white-hot looks I have been loving recently.
