It was a case of going for gold for Duchess Kate at the Olympics opening ceremony when she opted for a glorious brocade/lace coat in the subtlest of gold shades. Perhaps giving her support for another gold rush for Team GB, Kate wore a beautiful coat/dress from Day Birger et Mikkelson that she had worn as long ago as 2006, and has recycled almost every year since. But you can’t really blame her for this – it is a stunning piece, the perfect colour for the occasion, and also bang on trend for the next influx of brocade and lace that was so part of the A/W 2012 collections.

Jessica Ennis is on top of the world right now, the Golden girl of sport with a gold medal to prove it. And it seems that sport is not the only area in which Jessica is excelling – showing herself to be no slouch in the style stakes either. Blessed with a glorious figure and a beautiful face, it would be hard for Jessica to look anything less than stunning, but her style choices have met with universal approval.

Tabitha – The Stardust is back with a Disco beat!
Tabitha bags are back! I’m so excited to be writing that sentence. Tabitha Somerset Webb, the brains behind Tabitha, and one half of Project D (with Dannii Minogue of course) is going back to her first love, beautiful handbags.

It gained a celebrity following, Dannii Minogue, Mylene Klass, Fearne Cotton, Kimberly Walsh and Rochelle Wiseman were amongst the stylish devotees of the Stardust. But, perhaps the most…
