Pippa Middleton Gets Married

Posted on May 20, 2017 by fashion-mommy

She became world famous at her big sister’s wedding, but today Pippa Middleton showed that she could be an incredibly beautiful bride in her own right when she married James Matthews in a lovely ceremony in St Mark’s Church in Englefield.

Wearing a stunning lace gown, which reputedly cost £40,000 and was designed by Giles Deacon, Pippa looked radiant, and, in a reverse of the royal wedding, she was looked after by big sister Kate, who shepherded the little bridesmaids and paige boys, which included Prince George and Princess Charlotte.

Pippa rose to prominence as the perfect maid of honour at the royal wedding of William and Kate, and has proved to be something of a style icon since, always managing to look chic at a range of occasions. Her wedding dress was beautiful and elegant, with a full skirt, high neckline and lattice style lace work. Her chic updo also added to the effortless beauty of the whole look.

Here are some images from a very stylish country wedding.

BAFTA 2017 – Fave Looks

Posted on February 12, 2017 by fashion-mommy

The most important night in British film is always a good place to look when it comes to glamorous Hollywood Stars and the best of British truly shining on the red carpet. I am talking about the Bafta’s of course, aka the British Academy Awards, and this year has proved to be a bit of a vintage one in terms of fashion, with some really lovely looks including a suitably regal one from the Duchess of Cambridge in Alexander McQueen.

This years awards showcased a range of beautiful looks in a range of colours and styles. There were strapless styles, halter necks as showcased by Nicole Kidman in Armani Prive and a range of sleeve lengths, with Michelle Williams opting for a 1960s style shift from Louis Vuitton (does anyone else think she looks more and more like Mia Farrow in Rosemary’s Baby? Or is it just me?). Naomie Harris was beautifully romantic in Gucci ruffles and frills, whilst best supporting actress winner Viola Davis was bringing a beautiful touch of spring in her striped Jenny Packham dress which just showcased her incredible curves. (Don’t mind admitting I have terrible boob envy when it comes to Viola).

When it comes to taking a fashion risk you know that you can rely on Emma Stone, a real Hollywood fashionista. This time her risk totally paid off. I LOVED her beautiful midi dress from Chanel that she wore over the top of a pair of peg trousers. The sparkle of the outfit and the otherwise minimal styling was so fresh and beautiful. I really can’t wait to see what she wears when she picks up her Oscar (we all know it’s going to happen!).

There are several other looks, all beautiful, that I really loved tonight. What was your favourite from the British Oscars?

Get the Celebrity look with Victoria Beckham, Kylie Jenner and Soru Jewellery

Posted on October 14, 2016 by fashion-mommy

This week’s Friday fashion feature is a focus on celebrity style. Autumn is bringing all sorts of fabulous looks, style collaborations and celebrity style picks that are both stylish and, in the case of TOWIE fashion and Dorothy Perkins picks, affordable too.

This post is a little different in that I have also featured some Celebrity make up picks. We know that Kylie Jenner is a bit of a beauty maven herself, but it seems that she is a major fan of Charlotte Tilbury products, particularly the Cheek to Chic blusher. Another style icon, Victoria Beckham, is branching into cosmetics with her collaboration with Estee Lauder – check out the stunning packaging that makes this an ideal Christmas gift.

In terms of fashion, we have a few picks from Rare London including Rosie Fortescue in a stunning, military inspired dress. Continuing with the Made in Chelsea theme is the gorgeous Dorothy Perkins edit as collated by Toff. We also have a great budget find from Select fashion, as worn by Georgia on TOWIE.

Moving away from reality tv, the Duchess of Cambridge has again been wearing beautiful jewellery from Soru Jewellery, this time in the form of gorgeous earrings. They are currently out of stock, but you can click through to see how to reserve your very own pair. I have also featured a couple of looks from one of my favourite labels, Self Portrait, as worn by Naomi Watts and the one and only Madonna.

Finally, in the season when Bridget Jones made her comeback, we have a maternity look direct from the movie from Seraphine.

Enjoy your Friday!
