Selfridges – New Season Picks, including some of Duchess Kate’s favourite designers
With Christmas now just a distant memory, it seems the time is right to look at what the designers have in store for us for these early days of 2013 (and doesn’t it still feel strange to be typing that?). A trip to Selfridges shows that there is a lot to savour from some of our favourite designers. Erdem continues the quest for the perfect lace dress with the beautiful cappuccino lace of the Anna dress, whilst elsewhere there is an awful lot of blue to enjoy, in all shades, from the bright and vibrant, to the most powdery pastel shades. And then there are the new season bags. I…

Debenhams gives you your own capsule Duchess Kate wardrobe this season
The Duchess of Cambridge has become one of the world’s leading style icons in the year since her wedding to Prince William. She rarely puts a foot wrong stylewise, and whilst some have accused her of being a little boring in her style choices, the truth is that she just chooses pieces that have a classic look that she can revisit and revamp again and again. Her look is sophisticated, flawless and elegant. No wonder everything that she wears proves to be an instant sell out, and that the world’s leading designers are now flocking to dress her. For her recent tour, that has included Alexander McQueen, Prabal Gurung, Mulberry,…

Hobbs hosts an Autumn Preview at Pavilions Birmingham
Twitter is a great place for networking, finding out about great events and happenings. Last monday I received a tweet from über stylist Beth Goodrham saying Beth Goodrham @BethGoodrham @fashion_mommyWM hi, do you fancy coming to an event at Hobbs B’ham next Friday at 5pm? Cocktails and a peep at the new collection on offer! Well, an offer like that was too good to turn down, so on Friday night, a few hours before that fabulous opening ceremony that I keep reliving in my head, I headed into Birmingham for a night of clothes, cocktails and conversation with some of my favourite bloggers. All guests were greeted with a…

Cowgirl styling from Spartoo
This Summer has been one that weatherwise, we would’ve been happy to miss. Although we would all prefer to be in flip flops and sandals, the torrential conditions have meant we have had to think outside the box for our shoes. In many cases, shoes have been abandoned altogether and stylish celebrities have taken a tip from the Wild West and invested in a pair of cool cowboy boots. Kate Bosworth sported Western style at Coachella with her cool cowgirl styled shirt, and savvy fashionista’s like Vanessa Hudgens,Zoe Saldana, and Taylor Swift have all adopted the trend, whilst Nicole Richie is another big fan of the boots. Even the Duchess…

Kate looks so beautiful in teal Jenny Packham
Ok – I admit it, this may be my favourite Duchess of Cambridge look ever. I said in a post I published about Jenny Packham yesterday that I felt she had been responsible for Kate’s most successful evening look ever, the shimmering pink dress that the Duchess had worn to the Ark event last June, but I actually think, for sheer beauty, this teal dream of a dress beats it. Kate and Wills were attending a concert at the Royal Albert Hall to celebrate the UK Olympic team, and I don’t think she could’ve chosen a more perfect, and on trend dress. This lace and chiffon confection had a classical…
