Channel Pippa style in a slinky red dress.
Pippa Middleton made a special public appearance this weekend, attending a charity boxing ball. So what makes this occasion special? Well, it involved an evening gown for the first time since the younger Miss Middleton wore that gorgeous Alice Temperley jade dress on the evening of the royal wedding. And this new dress was red-hot! Pippa looked sensational in this red, plunging halter neck dress in satin. She teamed this with a gorgeous Wilber and Gussie clutch bag that you can currently buy from House of Fraser for £160. With Geri Halliwell also wearing red for the event, and with Kate wearing a raspberry pink/red shade in lace last weekend,…

Duchess of Cambridge is elegant in Amanda Wakeley
The Duchess of Cambridge made a welcome return to the public stage todaywhen she and Prince William made a visit to the Royal Marsden hospital where they opened a new children’s cancer unit. Kate was wearing a designer who seems to have become a royal favourite, Amanda Wakeley, and looked as elegant as ever in an oatmeal long-sleeved shift dress, described as ‘sculpted felt’. She wore this with her favourite LK Bennett nude court shoes and with her hair soft and flowing. I know the fashionista press may again have problems with this look, but Kate was spending time with parents and children who were going to be using…

Duchess of Cambridge – Still a Topshop Girl at heart
Got to be one of the nicest fashion stories of today. The What Kate Wore blogger who stood in the queue at Topshop (Kensington High Street branch I think!) and realised that the beautiful, long-haired brunette standing next to her didn’t merely resemble the former Miss Middleton, but was actually KATE. Standing so close she could actually see her purse full of points rewards cards (just love this point – keep picturing Kate with a Nectar card!), the clever blogger made a mental note of what Kate bought and then shared it with the Kate-loving blogosphere. And here is the little list. Kate tapped into the neat, tailored 1940s trend…

A rare sighting of the lesser spotted Duchess of Cambridge
There was a rare sighting of the Duchess of Cambridge this weekend, as she attended…you’ve guessed it…yet another society wedding. Kate was attending the wedding of Harriet Colthurst and Thomas Sutton, and looked beautiful wearing a raspberry coloured lace dress by Collette Dinnigan with Prada heels. At first I thought the dress may have been another Erdum design, as it was similar in style to the navy lace dress that she wore when she touched down in Canada. I love Kate in this shade, it seriously enhances her colouring and highlights her brunette locks. Collette Dinnigan was an interesting choice, as she is South African born and Australian based, so,…

Kate comes to Birmingham..and again wears McQueen.
Charles and Camilla visited London areas devastated by the riots, Prince Harry went to Manchester, but today Birmingham got the big guns, the ones we all want to see,when the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, aka William and Kate, visited areas affected by the riots last week. And Kate, as usual, looked amazing. Wearing Alexander McQueen, which seems to have become her design house of choice since the Royal wedding, Kate struck the right chord in looking stylish, but respectful in her dress. Royals rarely wear black, but as a private audience with the families of the three men so tragically killed whilst defending their community was part of the…
