Homecoming Queen Style – Perfectly Pretty
One of the most long-lasting of all dress trends is for those that we call ‘Prom Dresses’. Every summer, at weddings, ladies days, regattas and other occasions that call for something a little bit special, we see a resurgence of those beautiful, full skirted, often strapless dresses that hark back to the last hurrah of Hollywood, the 1950s. Those were the days when screen goddesses like Grace Kelly, Elizabeth Taylor and Doris Day chose feminine styles that have set the trend for prom and homecoming dresses for decades to come. But when we talk about prom dresses, we often mean homecoming dresses. Prom dresses were traditionally full length Princess style,…

The best (and worst) looks from The People’s Choice Awards
A new year means the start of the award season, (cue much excitement from moi, who LOVES ‘Live from the Red Carpet’ more than life itself.) First up was The People’s Choice awards. A great turn out of stylish celebrities to peruse including Emma Watson, Lea Michele and Taylor Swift promised some interesting choices to discuss, and they disappoint, although some choices were definitely more successful than others. There are too many dresses to discuss them all in detail, so I am just going to show you a few that I thought were just gorgeous, and a few that I would’ve frankly passed on. Would love to know who your…

Fashion Focus – Taylor Swift
She is the gorgeous pop/country star who has stolen the heart of the most eligible man(boy?) in music, but it is Taylor Swift’s enviable wardrobe that I am interested in. Honestly, I don’t think I’ve ever seen this girl put a foot wrong when it comes to clothes. Whether she is dressing for the red carpet, channeling trademark 1950s chic in a range of beautiful, full skirted dresses, or just dressing casually off duty, this girl is never anything less than a style icon. I bow to that wardrobe. No wonder Harry Styles seems smitten… Look 1 Get the look Look 2 Get the look Look 3 Get the look…

All I want for Christmas is a dress from Reiss
If you are after a really special dress this Christmas, then take a look at the latest collection from Reiss. Encompassing every look from full length and fabulous, pale and interesting, and over the top festive glitter, Reiss has a look for you, whatever the occasion. So many of the dresses evoke images of memorable red carpet looks from this season, from Ginnifer Goodwin at the Emmy awards, to Kiera Knightley, a vision in black lace at the Anna Karenina New York premiere. And there are also looks reminiscent of red carpet looks that would now be categorised as classics. Kate Moss wearing a custom-made version of one of her…

VMA’s Best Looks from Rihanna, Miley, Taylor and Rashida.
The Video music awards are always a great showcase for a range of looks that always seem to take in the sublime and the ridiculous. With the likes of Rihanna and Katy Perry on show, you know they are guaranteed to be anything but boring, and this year proved to be no exception. I have chosen a few of the looks that impressed me, from the edgy new look of Miley Cyrus, to the classic tuxedo style of the ever stylish Taylor Swift (who I can’t remember ever getting it wrong). 1. Miley Cyrus I personally LOVE Miley’s new look. Her punky hairstyle gives her a touch of Pink and…
