Made in Chelsea – Cheska Hull style
There are lots of debates raging around which is the best docu-soap on TV at the moment. Is the ‘The only way is Essex’ complete with fake tans, fake boobs and the worst fake acting ever, or is it ‘Made in Chelsea’, the posh version of Essex, where all the characters have strange names that sound like something you would call a gerbil and hedge funds? In my eyes there is no competition. I’m totally addicted to Made in Chelsea, and in particular, to the style of a trio of ultra- gorgeous girls, the incomparably named Caggie Dunlop, Cheska Hull and Millie Mackintosh. These girls now how to mix their…

Style Icon of the Month September – Kate Moss
She’s been around what seems like forever, but she’s always in my heart when it comes to style, and this month, the newly married Kate Moss reappeared on the scene with a whole host of totally covetable looks, showing the young fashion upstarts that, when it comes to fashion and style, Kate still sets the bar pretty high. From high-octane glamour, to 1970s style double denim that seems to have been based on Anita Pallenburg at Nellcote 1972, Kate has worn a range of looks that have impressed. She has worn full length and fabulous gowns, little black cocktail dresses and even a jumpsuit once worn by Cheryl Cole, and…

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…

Stephanie Grace Foy – One to watch.
At the recent London Fashion Week I was lucky enough to meet and chat to Stephanie Grace Foy. A talented up and coming designer, I was intrigued by her collection ‘Longitude/Latitude’ which seemed to juxtaposedly be the most simple, yet also the most intricate of designs. This is a wonderful collection of ‘lighter than air’ pieces that are deceptive in their cool simplicity. Stephanie has a background as a freelance pattern cutter working for some of the best in the fashion business. Her CV includes pattern cutting for Mark Fast, Topshop Unique and Mario Schwab. Witnessing the inner workings of the design process led Stephanie to formulate ideas for her…

A glittering event at Swarovski Crystallized.
The Swarovski Crystalized flagship store, on Great Marlborough Street, London, was the scene of a fabulous, sparkly party last week. This event was held as part of the 30 days of Fashion and Beauty event. And Fashion-Mommy was on hand to bring you all the gossip and pictures. The store, for those who have never visited, is a bright and shiny palace in which to worship the beautiful Swarovski jewels. On two levels, the top floor contains a chic bar and seating area, complete with the most gorgeous silver seating I have ever seen. Each specially invited guest was given tickets for drinks, this being sparkling Prosecco complete with raspberries…
