Pippa Middleton's Bridesmaid Dress

I'm sure the majority of the population of the UK and many abroad are aware of the stunning Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen design for Pippa Middleton's bridemaid dress, that was designed specifically for Pippa for her sister Kate's wedding to Prince William. It was a dress that captivated the attention of many male and female audience a like throwing Pippa into the spotlight. 

Now the high street store Debenhams are said to be selling a copy of the figure hugging dress after many requests from customers wanting a similar dress. It is to be sold at £170 later this year. Aswell as Pippa's bridemaid dresses there will be replicas of the flower girls dresses priced at £48 and £52 and another Pippa Middleton dress this time a green floor length gown by Alice Temperley which was worn by Pippa to Kate and Wills evening reception. 

Russell Fish, head of occasionwear design at Debenhams said about the dresses "We have taken the best of the dresses and added our designer twist. Now you can get the Middletons' look at high street prices," 

For anyone wanting to own one of these stunning dresses they will have to join the "lady-in-waiting list" by emailing their details to ladyinwaitinglist@debenhams.com to gain updates on availability.

The Leather Store

Hey,

My blog today is about this lovely website called The Leather Store, it was featured in Vogue magazine's must have summer style. The website mainly sells handcrafted leather bags, with a wide range from handbags to rucksacks. My particular favourite bag is a "grey leather slouchy tassle tote" I love the colour a light grey with a hint of purple and blue. It's a very nice design big enough for books aswell as the everyday handbag essentials, I particularly like it as it is simple but chic with it's single tassle. Another bag that caught my eye is this daring little "grab bag". I think it looks gorgeous with the fills prettily covering the opening. I personally wouldn't wear it as it's a little bold for me in it's orange tan colour but it would make a lovely day and evening bag for anyone daring to be seen.

Aswell as bags the leather store also sells waist belts mainly in beautiful subtle colours with the exception of a very bold pink belt which of course I love being a fan of anything pink! The belts range from soft suede to the more daring glazed leather which could fit in perfectly for the new fetish trend seen on the catwalk this autumn/winter.  

Surprisingly the store also stocks leather jewellery mainly consisting of large leather flowers on necklaces, bracelets and rings. But I most like the hair clips with the simple flower. I think the flowers look beautiful and the use of leather will give a different look and texture than expected. My favourite is the beige nearly white flower which I believe gives the feel of innocence and romance with the contrasting feel and look of the leather.
