Big Style Crush – Florence Welch
She’s a muse to Karl Lagerfeld, cites 1970s drag queen troop ‘The Cockettes‘ as a fashion influence and has described her style as ‘Lady of Shallot meets Ophelia.’ Is it any wonder that at the moment I am totally besotted by the wardrobe and pure style masterclass that is Florence Welch? The Titian haired Florence and the Machine songstress is an ethereal, alabaster beauty, a Lizzie Siddall for the 21st Century. And whilst promoting her latest album, ‘The Ceremonials‘ she has adopted a look that has taken in influence from my favourite Art Deco era. Her look is a covered up look, Isadora Duncan style scarves and sleeves, acres of…

I was a fan of her Lily Loves collection for New Look (Still have two dresses in my wardrobe), and just thought she was a total one-off, an English eccentric. Lily’s style has grown over the years, she has developed a penchant for Chanel and for vintage dresses and pieces. She…

The growing trend for two wedding dresses.
There seems to be a new trend amongst stylish brides for more than one white dress on their big day.It used to be traditional for brides to have that one super special dress for their wedding day, and to revel in wearing it all day long, unless they left early to go on honeymoon. But now brides seem to be making the most of the chance to really dress up and are investing in two, and even three dresses for their big day. Kate Middleton swapped her lace and satin Amanda Burton creation for an ivory strapless McQueen gown with a lovely angora shrug cardigan over the top. This seemed…
