Kate Middleton earns her spots and stripes.
As one of Team GB’s most glamorous supporters, The Duchess of Cambridge has perfected a style that is both chic and smart, but does not draw undue attention from the athletes. It seems in the last few days that when she hasn’t been wearing official TEAM GB pieces that polo tops and tracksuit jackets, that she has stuck to a wardrobe of skinny jeans teamed with a blazer, and a palette of mainly (what else?) red, white and blue. The Smythe blazer made a second appearance this week when it was teamed with a Breton striped vest top – a real summer classic. Breton stripes are always such a cool…

The ever recycling Duchess of Cambridge
As an avid Duchess of Cambridge watcher, I am totally obsessed with her wardrobe. But more and more lately, I am having instances of deja vu, as Kate recycles her outfits over and over again. And I have been struck by a thought. This recycling is not just about Kate being frugal, or making that wardrobe earn its keep. This is also about everyone knowing that Kate is thrifty, everyone recognising that in this time of economic hardship, the Duchess is trying hard not to flaunt her extravagance. Kate is not the first Royal to recycle her outfits. The Queen and Princess Anne have both recycled outfits for years, the…

Pippa Middleton Shows of her Autumn Style – get the Look for Less.
The temperatures have dipped and now Pippa Middleton is showing us how to get an Autumn look that keeps you snug without compromising on style. Bright coloured coats, animal print scarves and black basics are a simple, yet effective look which are proving that Pippa has a cold weather style almost as smoking hot as her summer looks. I love the Sara Berman Yvette coat that Pippa is wearing below.It has a 1950s teddy boy feel that lends itself to this season’s androgynous look. The coat is available from my-wardrobe.com for £396. Like sister Kate, Pippa is showing support for the ethical label Beulah London, wearing the Shibani scarf from…

Pippa Middleton attempts lumberjack chic…with mixed results.
It seems that not a day passes when we are not treated to another look from the bulging Pippa Middleton wardrobe. And whether she channels casual styling or chic workwear, there are always covetable items that I would like to add to my own wardrobe. But sometimes Pippa makes fashion mistakes, just like the rest of us, and maybe her attempt at grunge style lumberjack chic was just that. This was an outfit that made me smile…and then frown. I loved the Zara lumberjack shirt, I used to wear a red plaid one very similar to this in my grungy days, and the skinnies also look great on Pippa’s slim…

Style Icon of the Month July – Olivia Palermo
To be honest, with her effortless chic, Olivia Palermo could be the style icon of any month. But in July, Olivia really showed her style credentials as she showcased a whole range of stunning looks. Who else could attend the Giambattista Valli show wearing a Topshop dress, and still outshine everyone else in the room? Olivia did this in July, and a whole lot more. I love everything about Olivia’s style. She is always immaculately groomed, never a hair out-of-place for this girl. Her clothes always look effortless, she will wear a simple shirt and maxi skirt for a film premiere and make it look like haute couture. She is…
