Competition time! Get the Middleton look at Jon Richard
We all know about the Kate effect on fashion. Anything the Duchess of Cambridge wears, particularly if purchased from a High Street store, is an instant sell out. So it’s no wonder that the High Street is getting style inspiration from the stylish Duchess. One of my fave jewellery brands, Jon Richard, has put its on spin on one of Kate’s most iconic items, the glorious sapphire and diamond engagement ring. This piece of jewellery once belonged to the Princess of Wales, and sparked a resurgence in larger, more traditional style rings when William presented it to his bride-to-be. Many jewellery brands have produced their own copy of the Kate…

Diana and Kate together…thanks to photoshop!
Does Newsweek’s Kate-and-Diana cover creep you out?. This is a special cover of Newsweek that commemorates the fact that the forever young Princess Diana would’ve celebrated her 50th birthday on 1st July, Tina Brown, editor in chief of Newsweek, and a close friend of Diana, surmises that a 50th year old Diana would’ve been as fabulously fashionable as ever, would’ve been on Twitter and would have submitted to the lure of Botox to keep looking eternally young. The cover of course, shows Diana with daughter-in-law and current royal darling Kate. Many people have said they are slightly freaked out by this cover (see link above), but I personally think it…

Kate goes for Military Chic at medals ceremony.
Princess Diana had that knack of wearing clothes that just seemed to fit the occasion, notably a white military style outfit by Catherine Walker that was christened the ‘Little drummer’ boy outfit by the press, when she wore it to Sandhurst on one occasion. Today Kate, Duchess of Cambridge has shown that same touch of the dramatic when she attended a medals ceremony for the Irish Guards, at Windsor Barracks, wearing a navy blue military style, double-breasted coat/dress and small hat and clutch bag. She accessorised with a stunning three-leaf clover badge on her coat. This is a fantastic stylish look for Kate, although she is still looking very slim.…

Kate and Diana – A tale of two dresses.
This month sees the auctioning off of two very different black dresses. The first dress could be said to have seen the start of a Royal love story, the 2nd a perfect replica of a dress that signified the end of one. Both of the dresses showed the beauty of the women wearing them to its best advantage, and now both sit side by side in Kerry Taylor Auction House as they wait to go to new owners. It may seem strange to some that fate can sometimes be hinged on something so flimsy as a dress. Kate Middleton and Prince William were friends, but it was apparently the site…
