1950s style glamour from Lovedrobe
[affilinet_performance_ad size=468×60] The 1950s was definitely one of the most glamorous decades of the 20th Century. An era in which some of the most iconic actresses of all time defined the stye, the nipped in waists and full skirts worn by Grace Kelly and Audrey Hepburn were balanced by the form fitting dresses worn by Marilyn Monroe and Elizabeth Taylor. It was high octane glamour all the way, and I must admit I often take my style cues from this period. This is certainly the case with my current favourite dress which comes from Lovedrobe. Lovedrobe is a company that knows how to dress curves. Creating designs in sizes that…

Ted Baker new season – Floral prints and chic separates
I have totally fallen in love with the new collection from Ted Baker. It is, quite frankly, amazing. Taking the usual Ted Baker loved of exquisite blooming floral prints, and adding in the more minimalist, block colour separates in stark white, smart navy and neons and pastels, this collection totally screams summer. But is also contains many pieces that you will add to your wardrobe right now and be able to wear straight away. Detail is the key theme in this collection. There are embellished jumpers, with fabulous jewelled necklines – perfect with a pencil skirt or peg trousers for an evening out, or worn with skinny jeans and ballerina…

Dress season from Phase Eight – Ladies Day dressing solved
I am very excited to say I’m going to the Aegon Classic ladies day at the Edgbaston Priory Club as a guest of the club. Ladies Day is always a glamorous occasion when women dig out their summer finery and seriously dress to impress. And with Royal Ascot and Wimbledon also coming up in the next few weeks, it is clear that beautiful dresses are going to be a very important part of our summer wardrobe. Phase Eight should, therefore, be a major calling point on any shopping trip. Their range of dresses this season are quite simply stunning, with styles ranging from 1950s full-skirted, to slinky column styles. There…

Kate wears Whistles to visit National Gallery
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge visited the National Gallery today, as the first official portrait of the Duchess was unveiled. Kate looked blooming and beautiful in a gorgeous Whistles dress that had been previously seen in 2012. There was just the slightest hint of a baby bump, but for once, the discussions that raged following the visit were not about the Duchess’s pregnancy. The discussions, many of them totally hilarious, focused on the portrait by Paul Elmsley. It is, quite frankly, hideous. Kate appears to be at least 2o years older than she actually is, and with very puffy facial features. Many have commented about how wrong the nose…

Fashion Focus – Taylor Swift
She is the gorgeous pop/country star who has stolen the heart of the most eligible man(boy?) in music, but it is Taylor Swift’s enviable wardrobe that I am interested in. Honestly, I don’t think I’ve ever seen this girl put a foot wrong when it comes to clothes. Whether she is dressing for the red carpet, channeling trademark 1950s chic in a range of beautiful, full skirted dresses, or just dressing casually off duty, this girl is never anything less than a style icon. I bow to that wardrobe. No wonder Harry Styles seems smitten… Look 1 Get the look Look 2 Get the look Look 3 Get the look…
