Award Season. Fashion for the Glitterati from the Great British High Street

Award Season is underway we have already been treated to some showbiz razzmatazz with the Golden Globes and the Critics’ Choice Awards and with that the fun of watching the Red Carpet hits or misses. We know by now that these awards are merely a for-runner to the 87th AcademyAwards, the Oscars when the true Glitterati are out in all their finery. The good news is that you don't have to be a member of the literary set or be in show business to ooze glamour like a celebrity, the Great British High Street and online stores have made it easy for us common folk to join the glitterati for parties and special occasions. Long immaculate gowns are always in vogue and except for a change in fabric or colour trend, sparkling embellishments and a tweek of traditional shaping a good gown is literally for good. Have you ever wondered what you might wear for a Red Carpet event? I have chosen my favourites from Kate Middleton’s favourite designer Jenny Packham and Phase Eight all available from Designers at Debenhams. Simply stunning Black, White and Neutral tones all enhanced by sparkling sequin and beaded detail. Top off with crystal head band or diamante feather comb.


It's all in the detail!

Knitting Patterns through time.

Knit one pearl one - Get knitting. Looks like the good old days are coming back. Art, crafting and crafts, knitting and crochet are amongst the popular things to do these days. Craft Markets, Arts and Craft Fairs & Exhibitions show casing all manner of clever ideas and home-made designs have been drawing the crowds at local markets & events. We recently saw champion diver Tom Daley knitting for Great Britain at the Olympics. Tis now the "season of mists and mellow fruitfulness" so maybe time to hunker down and learn a new hobby. I have spent many hours in the past just hanging around waiting so knitting was a favourite thing to pass away the time and create something special.  I watched my mother knitting for us when we were kids, we used to hold the skein of wool out on our hands which she then wound into a ball/ (traditionally t he yarn used to come off the loom in strands in days gone by) S he then got a knitting machine, not quite as relaxing as the thread always ...

Good news for race goers that, unike Royal Ascot, there is no official dress code at Antree so gals can go for high fashion and furlong winning style, the more colourful dresses and flamboyant hats the better which is why its known as 'Fabulous Friday'. Looks like lots of high thigh slit sleek body hugging dresses and huge flower petal design hats are winning the day. The Iris inspired dark blue and yellow outfit was stunning. Also noticed the cute Black and white spot mini dress worn with a huge brim matching hat and a flora and fauna pink blossom print trouser suit teamed with a simple fascinator and butterfly design leather bag. . Meanwhile the guys can tone it down with suits or smart, trousers, shirt, waistcoat and tie ...or traditional equestrian style tweed jacket and (Peaky Blinders style) flat cap......or not. Ladies Day is held on a Friday, the second day of the Grand National. An exciting day, attended by the 'hoi palloi', celebrities, fashionistas and sporti...
