Duchess Kate drives us dotty with Dalmatian prints
Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge officially bowed out of the public eye last week, and showed her own inimitable style right up to the end. Looking absolutely beautiful and, yes it is a cliché, but totally glowing, the Duchess again returned to her beloved High Street in a fabulous Dalmatian printed coat from Hobbs, causing the inevitable sell out. The Dalmatian Mac from Hobbs was another smart choice for the Duchess. The shape was again reminiscent of the early 1960s boxy styles favoured by Jackie Kennedy, something that Kate has worn a lot during her third trimester, and again was a simple, but totally elegant look lifted by the…

New Kardashian Kollection launches at Dorothy Perkins
The second collection from the Kardashian sisters for Dorothy Perkins has launched today, and I think it is even better than the first. Using a palette of black, white, creams and greys, mixed with the softest shade of baby pink, the latest collection is a combination of feminine tailoring and body hugging Kardashian dresses, showing off the individual personalities of Khloe, Kourtney and Kim. There is a lot to admire about this collection. I love the ombre style dip dye blazer in pink merging into purple, this would look amazing with jeans or over tailored black trousers. The white bodycon dress is beautiful, making the little white dress a great…

Emma Forbes Loves for BHS
Following on from last year’s success collaboration with Karen Brady, which tailored a collection of perfect work dresses, BHS are again teaming up with a well-known TV personality in order to showcase a range of beautiful dresses. This time the lady in question is Emma Forbes, and the dresses are now as far removed from daytime wear as they could possibly be. The focus is on occasion wear – summer weddings, a day at the races, ladies day’s from Ascot to Wimbledon, graduation ceremonies, garden parties and any other summer occasion that I may have forgotten. Emma has teamed up with BHS to cherry pick from their wide range of…
