Duchess Kate wears LK Bennett Detroit Dress
Duchess Kate has worn her first new look of the year on a visit to Northolt High School in Ealing today, and she again went for a High Street Label. Choosing one of her favourite shades of blue, Kate looked chic and beautiful in the Detroit dress from LK Bennett. With its notched collar detail, this dress gives the impression of a bolero jacket over a shift style dress. The three quarter sleeves and the modest neckline make this another elegant choice for the Duchess. At the time of writing, the dress is still available in almost all sizes on the LK Bennett website, but this is sure to change…

Style focus – spots before the eyes.
If there is one print I am more than a little partial to, it is spots and dots. It is a print that has long been a favourite of fashionista’s, from Marilyn Monroe in the 1950s, Princess Diana in the 1980s right up to the present with the Duchess of Cambridge, Taylor Swift, and birthday girl Kate Moss, who wears it with her usual finesse and style. Why do I like dots and spots? I think it is because as a print it ticks so many boxes. You can wear giant polka dots for a fun, retro look. Tiny, spotted styles can be more sophisticated, especially on a pencil skirt…

Duchess Kate ends the year in Style
In terms of pure style, Kate, Duchess of Cambridge has had another triumphant year. She showed that maternity style could be chic and elegant, wearing much of her pre-pregnancy wardrobe with aplomb, and making Seraphine a household name. Since the birth of Prince George. Kate has worn great look after great look. Of course, the Duchess has stayed true to her recycling roots. There have been reappearances from Orla Kiely and Roland Mouret, showing that if a look is good, it is too good to just be worn once. She has also once again taken inspiration from High Street favourites, most recently in the Delaney Coat from Reiss. And she…

Duchess of Cambridge – a round-up of recent looks
Slowly but surely, Duchess Kate is heading back towards her public duties, and she’s doing it in the sort of style she has made her trademark. Beautiful gowns, wardrobe favourites that we have seen before and a new, soft hairstyle that is slightly reminiscent of ringlets, Kate shows why she is fully deserving of her nomination for Style Icon at this year’s British Style Awards. One of my favourite Kate looks from this year has to be the elegant midnight blue dress by Jenny Packham. Kate wore this higher up on the shoulders than the dress was worn on the catwalk, making this a more refined, ladylike look. The shade…

M&Co – A fabulous Festive Offering
I love that time of year when the shops suddenly become all sparkly and glittery, and we start to think about the real party season. Yes, Christmas is on its way, and as much as we are thinking about presents, we are also turning our minds towards our wardrobes. Because Christmas is the one time of the year it is actually encouraged to be as bright and sparkling as a Christmas tree, and the seasonal offerings from our favourite stores echo this fact. For a spot of Sunday shopping this week, I’m turning my attention to M&Co. They have started to promote their party shop and it is chocked full…
