Debenham’s take on the Royal wedding dress- Be prepared to be surprised.
Last week I bought you the pictures of Debenhams version of the Pippa Middleton bridesmaid dress that is due to go on sale in the Autumn. Well, Debenhams have also produced a version of the dress worn by Kate, Duchess of Cambridge …in BLACK! The beautiful Sarah Burton dress that Kate wore was a stunning full length Ivory design. It was stunning, and has been much admired. But Debenhams have cleverly taken all the elements that we loved about Kate’s dress and have produced a gorgeous midi length prom style dress that would be fabulous for all manner of special occasions. The beautiful lace detail, the corset style bodice, and…

Like most people, I only watched one programme on the tv last night. The long running horror story that played put before our eyes on Sky News, as a mundane Monday night turned into some sort of Armageddon. I watched with horror as mindless, violent yobs tore through city centres with violence, destruction and theft on their minds.

Terry Di Haviland – The Rock & Roll Cobbler celebrates 50 years in shoe business.
The self-styled Rock & Roll Cobbler is celebrating 50 years in the business with a special pop-up exhibition in London’s Selfridges.

I have been a fan of Terry ever since I saw a glossy and groomed Kate Moss wearing his wedges on one of her famous birthday celebrations. I fell instantly in love with the shoes, but not being able to afford the £300+ pricetag, I searched the High Street for…

How Pippa Middleton solved the tricky dilemma of dressing for British Summer!
The British Summer. Not great, is it? One minute you’re basking in glorious sunshine, the next minute you routing through your bag for a brolly! Even the hottest days have a tendency to go cool that catches you by surprise. But one style star seems to have British Summertime dressing down to a tee. Step forward Pippa Middleton. Pippa always seems to be dressed stylishly, yet appropriately, for our ever-changing climate. She wears pretty summer dresses, but adds a denim or leather jacket just in case. She will wear jeans, but add a cotton top and a pair of shades that make the outfit scream summer. She will wear a…
