Rigby and Peller combine glamour, luxury and seduction
Rigby and Peller have a name that is just synonymous with luxury and glamour. Now in its 73rd year, the premium lingerie retailer, which has held its royal warrant for more than 50 years, offers the luxurious, the glamorous and the beautiful when it comes to lingerie. And the upcoming collection offers a darkly Gothic glamour that speaks of vampish beauties in 1940s B- movies, all violet and purple, silk and lace.

Kate Middleton is feeling blue – again!
It has to be said that the Duchess of Cambridge is rather fond of a touch of blue, it seems to be a colour she wears again and again.

My favourite Supermodel of all time is quite frankly everywhere at the moment, and looking better than ever.

A wife is what you are – i.e. Married, not how you dress), to fabulous ad campaigns for Salvatore Ferragamo where she looks just stunning, 2012 is turning out to be another summer of Kate. I just…

A Kate Middleton Week – Pt 1
What does an average week entail to you? Work, a few drinks at the weekend, a family meal. If you’re me this week it entails Jedward, Total Wipeout and pear cider, but this is my holiday time. If you’re the Duchess of Cambridge it entails Wimbledon, a wedding, a trip to Scotland, and more Wimbledon. And of course she does all of this in totally glamorous style, wearing a bit of McQueen, a touch of Emilia Wickstead, and some Beulah London. Here’s a look back at another stylish week for the Duchess. A wedding Kate attended a wedding last week in Bishops Lydeard (just a few miles away from where…
