Fashion-Mommy loves…A review of June Style.
An exciting month for fashion, June bought festivals, tennis and even moire weddings. Kate Moss celebrated a big, fat gypsy hen-do, Pippa wowed with her high street style, and the gorgeous Adele captured even more magazine covers. Here are my highlights from a fashion-filled month. Kate, Duchess of Cornwall made her first official evening appearance at the Ark fundraiser and just wowed in a dusky pink Jenny Packham dress. This was one of many stylish appearances as Kate became a fully fledged royal superstar. I particularly loved Kate giving that peach Stella McCartney dress an outing at Prince Philip’s 90th birthday meal, the same dress once worn by Madonna. Kate…

Step forward Kirsten Dunst, who recently looked absolutely amazing at Cannes, and definitely seems to be having a real fashion moment. With her friend, stylist Leith Clark alongside, Kirsten had come up with the perfect fashion moment for what looks like a rain-soaked summer. Pretty floral tea style dress, teamed with a mannish, throw-over-everything blazer. Pretty, vintage style gold sandals…

Lily Allen weds!
This Saturday saw the wedding of Lily Allen and Sam Cooper, and the surprise but heart warming news that Lily is more than 12 weeks pregnant. All eyes were on the dress, as Lily is known as a vintage aficionado, who has here own vintage clothes shop, Lucy in Disguise, that she co-runs with sister Sarah, and has recently launched her own vintage-inspired line to be sold through Harvey Nichols. Lily is also a sometime muse of Karl Lagerfeld of Chanel, so he was another possible designer name in the frame. As it was, Lily plumped for an exquisite 1920s style dress by French designer Delphine Manivet, that owed something in style…
