Victoria by Victoria Beckham – Really cute!
Victoria Beckham has finally unveiled her diffusion collection ‘Victoria’ by Victoria Beckham, and it is quite different from her usual collections to say the least. A cute collection of shorter, 1960s style shifts and mini dresses, this seems miles away from her usual collections in terms of sophistication. Whereas her Victoria Beckham line is full of cool and elegant looks, this is the fun and flirty side of Mrs Beckham. Think the younger sister of the mainline wearer and you might be getting somewhere. This line is bright and colourful, and will retail much cheaper than the normal collection. The silhouettes are loose and flowing, non of the va-va-voom of…

Prabal Gurung – it’s sheer love!
Don’t mind admitting I just love Prabal Gurung. This was the one show during New York fashion show that I was over-excited about, and the shots of SJP wearing one of Prabal’s designs whilst on the promotional trail for ‘I don’t know how she does it’, just further wetted the appetite. I am so glad to say I was not disappointed. This was one very sexy collection. Full of sheer panels, on sleeves, on skirts and on hips, vibrant colours like the purple quality street shades used on one of the most showstopping of dresses, and with flirty, feminine shapes with bell sleeves and nipped in waists, there was just…

BHS captures the Middleton Look.
No longer seen as the shop where you could buy a sensible sweater for your maiden aunt, BHS has unveiled a truly stylish collection for Autumn and Winter. And it seems as if the inspiration has come from two very special sisters. Yes, there is definitely a hint of Middleton about this collection! From some seriously stylish wrap dresses, officially one of the hottest styles for the new season according to the Bible that is Grazia, to a red coat that echoes Kate’s love of the vibrant colour, to pretty pussycat bow blouses and dresses that owe more than a passing glance to a certain Stella McCartney dress worn by…

Dorothy Perkins new season – All about the dress.
I’ve just been previewing the gorgeous new collection from one of my High Street faves Dorothy Perkins, and its safe to say that if Spring/Summer 11 was all about the all-in-one jumpsuits, the Autumn/Winter is all about the dress. From Mad Men silhouettes to sexy leather shifts, from colour blocking to colour contrasting, from pencil skirts to skater skirts, there seems to be a dress for everyone. Look 1 – Rosie Huntington Whiteley in Michael Kors Rosie totally rocked in a black leather shift dress from Michael Kors. Who knew leather could look so sophisticated? You could copy this look in the stunning Leather and suede panelled dress from Dorothy…

Debenham’s take on the Royal wedding dress- Be prepared to be surprised.
Last week I bought you the pictures of Debenhams version of the Pippa Middleton bridesmaid dress that is due to go on sale in the Autumn. Well, Debenhams have also produced a version of the dress worn by Kate, Duchess of Cambridge …in BLACK! The beautiful Sarah Burton dress that Kate wore was a stunning full length Ivory design. It was stunning, and has been much admired. But Debenhams have cleverly taken all the elements that we loved about Kate’s dress and have produced a gorgeous midi length prom style dress that would be fabulous for all manner of special occasions. The beautiful lace detail, the corset style bodice, and…
