My Favourite shoes from Duchess Kate’s fave brand
I booked my Summer holiday on Saturday, and so I am already planning my holiday wardrobe. And whilst I will shop around for an array of swimwear, pretty sundresses and accessories, there is only one place I head for my perfect summer wedges. And, it seems I am in good company. LK Bennett shoes have gained notoriety in the last few years for being a favourite of the Duchess of Cambridge and her sister Pippa Middleton. But, for once, I have the beating of Kate, and can happily say I got my favourite LK Bennett shoes before the Royal Wedding, and hence missed the demand for everything that Kate wears.…

Rosamund Pike shines for LK Bennett
That very beautiful English Rose, actress Rosamund Pike, has become the face of LK Bennett, and I think she is just the perfect choice. LK Bennett is full of classic, stylish and elegant pieces, and there is no doubt all those words could also be used to describe the actress who has been able to show versatility in a career that has taken her from being a Bond girl (Die another Day), to period drama (a wonderfully romantic Jane Bennett in Joe Wright’s Sense and Sensibility), and the both tragic and comic Helen in one of my favourite films – ‘An Education’. The new LK Bennett collection is all about…

This is the fabled capsule wardrobe, the specially selected pieces that are supposed to carry you through every occasion, mixing and matching perfectly to create a multitude of outfits, that look different enough that nobody realises you don’t actually own that…

Duchess Kate proves red coats are not just for Santa
I love a nice red coat, and it seems I’m in good company. Last weekend the Duchess of Cambridge attended a rugby match wearing her lovely LK Bennett. full length red coat, looking both snug and stylish for the outdoor event. This was one outfit you could not blame her for recycling, what could look more warm and festive than a red coat? (Just ask Santa – he’s sure to agree.) Kate’s red coat look is all over the High Street and internet at the moment, with nearly all the High Street big boys having a red coat in their seasonal collection. And why not? A red coat is a…
