Duchess Kate wears Prabal Gurung in Singapore
Just a day after I said that Prabal Gurung was perfect for Kate Middleton, she only goes and wears the designer during the first day of the tour of the Far Eat. Kate chose to wear the Singaporean designer during the stop in Singapore, a beautiful purple flowered design in Prabal’s classic long sleeved shape. Kate now joins the stylish ranks of Prabal fans that include Sarah Jessica Parker, Mila Kunis and Lana Del Rey. I love that Kate, who doesn’t have a stylist, does her research and pays tribute to the places she visits by wearing a homegrown designer. And although some journalists and bloggers criticise this as style…

Duchess of Cambridge arrives in Singapore
The Duchess of Cambridge has arrived in Singapore for the first leg of a Far Eastern tour, and has shown a little touch of Oriental style of her own. Wearing a pale pink, orchid print dress in soft silk from Jenny Packham, Kate paid tribute to her hosts in a beautiful gown that had a decidedly Far Eastern feel to it. This shows that not only is Kate once again paying tribute to her hosts, but that she firmly has her finger on the pulse of fashion, as Oriental style prints are a big news story for the new season. Swan by Clements Ribeiro for Evans featured stunning, oriental themed…

Linea – Two New Season Looks
Linea is one of House of Fraser’s most successful lines. Full of classic pieces that successfully fuse fashion and elegance, the collection is one which adds gravitas to your wardrobe, these are pieces that you can wear forever. Neat shifts, tailored jackets and beautifully bright silk shirts and blouses are the order of the day – think the elegance of Kate Middleton, Helen Mirren and Kristen Scott Thomas, rather than the rock n roll edge of Kate Moss. I have been challenged to put together an outfit for Linea, but have decided to show you two looks, one for the workplace and one for a night out. This was difficult…

Somerset by Alice Temperley is now available at John Lewis
This is one Autumn/Winter launch that has got me truly excited. Somerset by one of the UK’S top designers, Alice Temperley, is finally available at John Lewis. This collection has been designed exclusively for John Lewis by the designer, a favourite of Kate and Pippa Middleton no less, and is Temperley’s first collaboration for the UK high street. This is a truly beautiful collection that has all the hallmarks of the established Temperley design. The wonderful ad campaign features English Rose model Lily Donaldson, who looks wonderful in the lines – the perfect face for this collection. The pieces themselves show influences as diverse as Victoriana and Boho, along with…

Duchess of Cambridge shines in gold at the Parlympics opening ceremony
It was a case of going for gold for Duchess Kate at the Olympics opening ceremony when she opted for a glorious brocade/lace coat in the subtlest of gold shades. Perhaps giving her support for another gold rush for Team GB, Kate wore a beautiful coat/dress from Day Birger et Mikkelson that she had worn as long ago as 2006, and has recycled almost every year since. But you can’t really blame her for this – it is a stunning piece, the perfect colour for the occasion, and also bang on trend for the next influx of brocade and lace that was so part of the A/W 2012 collections. Kate…
