Celebrity style focus featuring Alexa Chung, Kate and Pippa Middleton and Millie Mackintosh
Summer style has been rather tricky to achieve this year, what with us not actually having any real Summer to speak of. But our favourite celebrities are showing us that, whatever the weather, style is easy to achieve. Glamorous celebrities, from the newly single and fabulous Katie Holmes, to more homegrown stars like Millie Mackintosh from Made in Chelsea, have been photographed sporting beautifully groomed looks, some of which are actually from the High Street, others that have seen the High Street foster similar designs. Here are some of the top spots from July so far. Michelle Keegan and Katie Holmes Black and white have seen a resurgence in recent…

A Kate Middleton Week – Pt 1
What does an average week entail to you? Work, a few drinks at the weekend, a family meal. If you’re me this week it entails Jedward, Total Wipeout and pear cider, but this is my holiday time. If you’re the Duchess of Cambridge it entails Wimbledon, a wedding, a trip to Scotland, and more Wimbledon. And of course she does all of this in totally glamorous style, wearing a bit of McQueen, a touch of Emilia Wickstead, and some Beulah London. Here’s a look back at another stylish week for the Duchess. A wedding Kate attended a wedding last week in Bishops Lydeard (just a few miles away from where…

An evening with Amanda Wakeley
A few weeks ago I was invited to one of the most exciting experiences of my life, the chance to meet a real fashion legend, a woman whose designs have been worn by the likes of Diana, Princess of Wales and Kate Middleton, and whose career is full of amazing highs and horrifying lows, the fabulous Amanda Wakeley.

On arrival we were greeted with Pink Champagne and canapés, and had chance to marvel at the beautiful…

Take your festival inspiration from Next…and Kate Middleton
Festival season in the UK starts today in typically British style, wet and windy. We can look at all those wonderful Coachella posts where the stars look fabulous in their sundresses, hot pants and flip-flops, but the reality is, we should be looking a little bit closer to home for our festival inspiration. Last weekend Kate Middleton wore what I think is actually the perfect British festival outfit. Taking some time under canvas, she opted for wellies, a Burberry shirt, teamed with Zara Jeans and a v neck sweater. She then wore a leather waistcoat that had a slight bodywarmer style that provided an extra layer of warmth. This looked…

The ever recycling Duchess of Cambridge
As an avid Duchess of Cambridge watcher, I am totally obsessed with her wardrobe. But more and more lately, I am having instances of deja vu, as Kate recycles her outfits over and over again. And I have been struck by a thought. This recycling is not just about Kate being frugal, or making that wardrobe earn its keep. This is also about everyone knowing that Kate is thrifty, everyone recognising that in this time of economic hardship, the Duchess is trying hard not to flaunt her extravagance. Kate is not the first Royal to recycle her outfits. The Queen and Princess Anne have both recycled outfits for years, the…
