Boden: Brights vs White Hot
When it comes to summer I always find I have a schizophrenic wardrobe. On the one hand I am just longing to add colour of any description, from citrus lemons and oranges, to shocking pinks, azure blue and apple green (I even found myself taking a picture of a blue sky with green trees against it for colour inspiration. But on the other hand, when I start to think of my holiday packing I;m drawn to the cool, crisp, freshness of white, in cotton, and linen, with natural straw bags and gold or silver sandals to offset the starkness of the palette. This season, Boden is offering you the chance…

Coast- getting ready for the Wedding season.
It’s only February, and already I have three invites to weddings. Wedding season is not yet upon us, and I’m already dreading the ‘What do I wear?’ problems. You see, weddings used to be so easy. People got married in a church. You picked a floral dress and a big hat and you couldn’t really go wrong. Now, people get married in hotels, stately homes, on beaches and occasionally in churches, and suddenly you are faced with a wedding minefield. Thankfully Coast always seem to have something that will suit. So whether you are opting for a full length and fabulous dress, a flirty floral number or something simple and…

Get Kate-tastic Inspiration from Dorothy Perkins
I just adore the Duchess of Cambridge’s personal style. I don’t really care that Alexa Chung beat her to British Style Icon at the Fashion awards, or that Vivienne Westwood isn’t that impressed with her choices, I think she is an immaculate style inspiration who understands that fine art of dressing like a lady. Kate watchers amongst you can’t help but notice that Kate is also proving a style information for the High Street too. Ladylike dresses with neat clean lines are everywhere, and non more so than at Dorothy Perkins. Just look at some of the Duchess inspired dresses I found whilst trawling their website. Then pop along yourself…

Pippa’s Stylish September continues.
The wardrobe must be never-ending, an Aladdin’s closet of super looks. And I don’t mind admitting that it is a never-ending source of fascination to me. Pippa Middleton must plan her outfits down to the last detail, no-one can look that great every day without some serious effort. Here are some of her great looks from the past week, which, you’ve guessed it, includes yet another wedding! Block colours, booties and a seriously hot studded bag all added up to a fabulous look this week. I love the teal shade to this shift dress, and I also think her hair looked super sleek in a ‘show’ ponytail. The boots and…
