My pick of the Handpicked Collection
For us ladies, and especially the mommies amongst us, the next couple of months are pretty good when it comes to receiving gifts. We have Valentine’s Day next week, and the Mother’s Day to look forward to in mid March. But it is safe to say that, sometimes, when it comes to the actual present, our menfolk need a bit of a point in the right direction when it comes to choosing something that’s a little more original than flowers and chocolates. Handpicked Collection is totally a point in the right direction. Described as an online emporium providing the ‘best of the best’, the Handpicked Collection is, as you may…

Duchess Kate shows off her maternity style in Hobbs, Seraphine and Madderson London
For those who love the Duchess of Cambridge’s style (for that read me!) the last week has been a great time, with Kate making a whole host of appearances on different engagements, and wearing some new pieces. With Kate being well-known for her thrifty nature, new pieces are always something to enjoy, and when those pieces also come from the High Street, you can guess their will be the inevitable sell-outs and internet crashes. First up, we have a stunning, 1960s style tunic dress from Madderson London, a fairly new British design company who are set to see their profile rise considerably now Kate has been spotted in their ‘Naomi’…

Spain has a stylish new queen
Unless you have been living under a rock and have totally been ignoring the world’s news, you will not have missed the news that Spain has a new king, following the abdication of King Juan Carlos. And along with the new king, Felipe VI, we also have a very stylish new queen, Letizia. And boy, does she have a pretty amazing wardrobe. Letizia is a former journalist and newsreader who married Felipe in May 2004. She is very popular in Spain, and much like the Duchess of Cambridge she has championed Spanish designers and High Street stores, from Felipe Varela and Lorenzo Caprile, to the much loved Mango and Zara.…

The Royal Tour – My favourite looks from (N)Z to A
The Royal tour of New Zealand and Australia is now officially over, and by any standards, it has been an absolute triumph for Prince William, Duchess Kate and the gorgeous baby Prince George. Kate’s wardrobe, as ever, has been a joy for fashion lovers, with a definite emphasis on something old, something new, jewellery borrowed, and something blue. Before the tour, there had been lots of speculation about Kate’s wardrobe, with some saying The Queen had asked for more jewellery, more designer wear and longer skirts. I personally think Kate’s wardrobe proved to be a total triumph that stayed true to her fashion roots. There were splashes of High Street…

Celebrity Get the Look featuring Emma Watson, Jessica Alba and Alison Williams
Today’s Get the Look is more about ideas to get a similar look, rather than finding the identical items wore by the stars. That said, we still have a few actual ‘get the looks’ from The One Show’s Alex Jones, a lady who always seems to spark early evening discussions about ‘where did she get that?’ on Twitter. Shall we make a start? Let’s begin the sartorial tour through a few sought after looks. Alex Jones wears Ted Baker and Wallis I have to say I’m a huge fan of Alex’s smart, but laid back style. Recently she wore this gorgeous, ruffle sleeved top from Ted Baker on The One…
