More ways to get that Middleton look
Whilst Kate seems to be having a break after a flurry of High profile appearances, her influence on British fashion continues to flourish. I spend lots of time trawling the internet looking at new collections from High Street and Web-based companies, and seem to spend an awful lot of time saying ‘that looks like something the Duchess of Cambridge has worn’. With Kate’s impeccable taste now shown to be retail catnip, it is no wonder that so many companies are trying to harness some of the Kate Effect. George are just one retailer who have talked of the indirect Kate effect – when the Duchess was pictured wearing coral skinny…

Celebrity style picks – featuring Rihanna, Kate Middleton and Alex Jones
Somebody told me this week that Fashion-Mommy is probably best known for the celebrity get the look posts, so as I am spending a rare Saturday night in, and I know that this won’t happen for at least another month, I would enjoy passing on a few more celebrity style spots for those who are intent on getting a little bit of celebrity sparkle. First up is Alex Jones. I really like Alex Jones on the one show. She always looks glamorous and has a great down to Earth charm that makes you forget that Christine Bleakley ever presented the show. This month she has been wearing some very eye-catching…

Getting set for Summer with TK Maxx
With temperatures in the UK set to eclipse those in Ibiza this week, now is definitely the time to be sorting out that Summer Wardrobe. And a key part of that has to be sunglasses. What fashionista would be seen without a pair of glamorous sunnies, whether it be day or night, a Red Carpet event or a photocall? This season, fab High Street outlet TK Maxx has an amazing range of designer sunglasses available. Thankfully these come without the enormous price tag often attached to these covetable accessories. They have hot designer ranges including Valentino, Marc Jacobs and lust-haves from the gorgeous Mr Tom Ford himself, with styles that…

Competition time! Get the Middleton look at Jon Richard
We all know about the Kate effect on fashion. Anything the Duchess of Cambridge wears, particularly if purchased from a High Street store, is an instant sell out. So it’s no wonder that the High Street is getting style inspiration from the stylish Duchess. One of my fave jewellery brands, Jon Richard, has put its on spin on one of Kate’s most iconic items, the glorious sapphire and diamond engagement ring. This piece of jewellery once belonged to the Princess of Wales, and sparked a resurgence in larger, more traditional style rings when William presented it to his bride-to-be. Many jewellery brands have produced their own copy of the Kate…

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…
