How can one dress look so different – Pippa Middleton and Lindsey Lohan
Revisiting a post from 2011. Kim Kardashian got married last weekend, and amongst all the chatter about the three wedding dresses, the black and white theme and the multitude of famous celebrity guests, one topic seemed to stand out. Was Lindsey Lohan wearing Pippa Middleton‘s dress? Now of course, I don’t mean Pippa’s actual dress – that would just be plain silly. But the car crash that is Lindsey Lohan was actually wearing a version of Pippa’s full length green evening dress, the one she had worn for the evening reception at Buckingham Palace on the Royal Wedding day. And boy, did the dress look different on Lindsey. For…

Duchess Kate ends the year in Style
In terms of pure style, Kate, Duchess of Cambridge has had another triumphant year. She showed that maternity style could be chic and elegant, wearing much of her pre-pregnancy wardrobe with aplomb, and making Seraphine a household name. Since the birth of Prince George. Kate has worn great look after great look. Of course, the Duchess has stayed true to her recycling roots. There have been reappearances from Orla Kiely and Roland Mouret, showing that if a look is good, it is too good to just be worn once. She has also once again taken inspiration from High Street favourites, most recently in the Delaney Coat from Reiss. And she…

John Lewis Secret Santa…and a touch of Temperley
You may remember a few weeks ago I told you all about the Bloggers Secret Santa that I was taking part in, courtesy of John Lewis. Well, last Friday I received my present through the post, chosen by the lovely Sioned of Tea and Fairylights, I don’t mind admitting that I was super excited to open the present- I am a fan of all things Christmas, and I possibly get even more excited than my four-year-old, which is definitely saying something. On tearing the packaging I let out a little squeal when I saw a Somerset by Alice Temperley label, and realised that this was a gift of cashmere. Sioned…

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…

Friday Focus – Alice Temperley
If I could choose one designer to create my wardrobe for the rest of my life, it would be the wonderful Alice Temperley. Her designs are just so typically English, ethereal, mystical and totally feminine, and have attracted celebrity fans in their droves. Katy Perry rocked her Floria dress as the perfect choice for a Valentine’s evening, those splashes of red being totally appropriate to celebrate the day of love. Both Kate and Pippa Middleton are fans of the brand, Kate famously wore a beautiful white dress with black accents for one of her first official engagements. And, of course, a great many society ladies and models have opted for…
