Friday Fashion – Duchess Kate and more looks from the New Zealand Tour
I have to say I am loving the range of looks that Kate Middleton has been wearing on the Royal Tour of New Zealand. Even though, yet again, she has been criticised for playing it safe, and even ‘looking like an air hostess’, I think Kate has been showcasing a great range of British fashion, wearing two of her favourite designers in Jenny Packham and Alexander McQueen. There have also been a nod to trend, with vibrant blue and midi lengths being part of the look.

It just seems the perfect fabric to wear at this time of year – luxurious, expensive and a little bit baroque.

Now get the Pippa Middleton look at Debenhams.
It is probably the most famous bridesmaid‘s dress of all time, the one that launched the face, and bottom, of Pippa Middleton into the stratosphere. And now Debenhams are helping Pippa fans to get the look with the launch, later this year, of their version of Pippa’s beautiful Sarah Burton dress. Debenhams were inundated with customers enquiring about the possibility of a Pippa style dress, and so decided to bow to public demand by creating its own homage to it. So great is the anticipated demand that the retailer has taken the unusual step of creating a ‘lady-in-waiting list’ to allow customers to reserve the departments store’s homage to Pippa…
