Duchess of Cambridge – a round-up of recent looks
Slowly but surely, Duchess Kate is heading back towards her public duties, and she’s doing it in the sort of style she has made her trademark. Beautiful gowns, wardrobe favourites that we have seen before and a new, soft hairstyle that is slightly reminiscent of ringlets, Kate shows why she is fully deserving of her nomination for Style Icon at this year’s British Style Awards. One of my favourite Kate looks from this year has to be the elegant midnight blue dress by Jenny Packham. Kate wore this higher up on the shoulders than the dress was worn on the catwalk, making this a more refined, ladylike look. The shade…

Superdry Spring/Summer Press Day
The Superdry Superstore on Regent Street is certainly one that lives up to the name ‘Super’. It is a palace of a store, and certainly the perfect venue for a press event, with more than enough space to show new collections to great advantage. On Thursday that is just what happened, when Superdry introduced the collections that have us thinking again to sunnier times. This was a collection that will certainly convert those that think that Superdry is all about jeans and clunky boots.There was just so much to admire. I loved the ‘Mod’ style tailored jackets, with military style gold buttons, and flashes of colour. English heritage was represented…

Cream is the colour for Prince George’s Christening
A future king was christened today, and whilst he looked adorable in antique styled lace, it was his ever-stylish mother who all eyes were turned too. And, as ever, she didn’t disappoint with her choice. The Duchess of Cambridge chose who else but Alexander McQueen for Prince George’s big day, showing that when it comes to the big occasions (her wedding, the Jubilee celebrations, only evening occasion in the United States tour) it is McQueen and Sarah Burton she turns to. Perfectly complementing George’s Victorian style Christening gown, Kate’s suit was ruffled and romantic, and looked exquisite when teamed with a beautiful pillbox hat with dotted netting. This was designed…

Get the best looks from the Q Awards with Boohoo
Last night saw the Q Awards, with some of the biggest names in music gathering to support the great and good as they collected hard earned awards. Robbie Williams, Jake Bugg and one of my 90s faves, Suede, were all at the event, but as with any awards ceremony, what I was really interested in was the fashion on show. Girl of the moment Ellie Goulding was on hand in a beautiful Temperley London dress. Although I profess boredom with the sheer skirts, I like this one, which is a litte like a cocktails style with an 80s style netting. Maybe it was the fact it had a little skirt…

Pride of Britain Awards – Get the Celebrity look
One of the most heartfelt and moving awards ceremonies of the year are the Pride of Britain awards. These took place on Monday night, and saw the bravest and best of British receive awards from a range of celebrity faces. Many of the small screen stars opted for looks from the High Street. These included breakfast TV presenters Lorraine Kelly and Ranvir Singh, who looked elegant in Coast and Monsoon respectively. Laura Tobin, on the other hand, wore a Catherine Deane number in gold and black that looked super sophisticated, and was most definitely designer. This dress is currently available from mywardrobe. Lorraine Kelly and Ranvir Singh wear High…
