My Favourite Celebrity Wedding dresses
I’ve been perusing the archives looking at lots of wedding pictures, from Royals to celebrities, from Rock chicks to the landed gentry looking for my favourite wedding dresses. Here are my choices, of the most beautiful celebrity wedding dresses of all time. Grace Kelly The Hollywood star who became a Princess, Grace Kelly wore a stunning dress by Helen Rose that seemed to be 2 parts Hollywood glamour and two parts demure royal. Nicole Richie used this as a model when she married earlier this year, and many believe this is the most beautiful Royal wedding dress.

Vivienne Westwood and Betsey Johnson – still style mavericks after all these years!
A revisit of a post from 2011. We have just seen the end of London Fashion Week, following hot on the heels of New York fashion week, and it is safe to say that two of the brightest, most interesting Autumn collections come from two style mavericks who first came to our attention in the 1970s. Both Vivienne Westwood and Betsey Johnson are at an age when they could relax and put their feet up, instead, they are continuing to push fashion boundaries. Here are some of the highlights of their recent collections. Alice in Wonderland meets the Royals! As can be expected of the woman who was at the…

Unless you have been residing on the moon, you couldn’t fail to notice that a bare head is seriously under-dressed. Hats, headpieces, headbands and fascinators- all of these items are having a bit of a style moment.

Kate Middleton – Latest Outfits
It’s been a busy week for Duchess Kate. The state visit of the Chinese President has seen Kate attend her first state banquet, and she has also met Jackie Chan and attended multiple occasions in Scotland. For lovers of Kate’s style, it has been a real fashion bonanza, because she has, quite frankly, looked amazing for every occasion, with the Dolce and Gabbana Marsala dress being one of my favourite Kate looks ever. Here are three outfits from this week in a bit more detail. Look 1 – State Banquet. Red is always a great colour for Kate, and the Jenny Packham dress was a beautiful, formal choice. This dress…

Spreading the cost of being a wedding guest
Summer 2015 has been one of my favourite years for attending weddings. I have watched lots of my family and friends tie the knot over the summer months – it’s been so much fun! But what hasn’t been fun is the rather large hole it has left in my savings account… I have always put money aside for special events and occasions but this year has hit my finances hard. After all, like many ladies, the thought of being seen in the same outfit twice fills me with dread! And, this year in particular, my eyes were opened to the fact that it’s no longer the case that weddings are…
