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…

Altuzarra revivies the Grunge Glamour of 90s Mossy.
It seems fitting in that in the year which sees the 20th anniversary of the grunge scene that so revitalised 1990s music, Altuzarra would produce a collection for Autumn/Winter 2011 that celebrates the grungy glamour of throwing a parka over your prettiest party dress. The inspiration for this collection? Kate Moss off course!

BHS present a wonderful, traditional Christmas…in July!
I was lucky enough to be put on the guest list for the BHS Christmas in July press preview last week. This was a real treat for me as BHS is always one of my must visit destinations at Christmas, mainly for its fantastic array of Christmas decorations. But the press preview gave me a great glimpse of the things we will be buying from BHS in the months ahead. And I have to say, there is so much more to the collections that crackers and tinsel! In terms of decorations and trimmings, red and white are definitely the colours. BHS have gone down a traditional route, with lots…

Tights! What tribe are you in?
Tights are an integral part of a women’s wardrobe, but that doesn’t usually apply in summer. But this year has seen women everywhere wearing sheers, nylons and opaques with all manner of outfits. Blame it on the hotpants, blame it on the weather, even blame it on the Middleton’s, it seems that 2011 may be the year that tights joined our summer wardrobe. But do you wear them, and, if the answer is yes, which tribe are you a member of. Here is a guide to the tight tribes. The bright brigade – Leader Lady Gaga To be honest, wearing a suit with shiny metal nipple spikes may draw your…
