Rogues go Regal: Engage with Royalty

As April draws near, the speculation grows as to which designer Miss Middleton will choose to create the most important wedding dress of the year possibly even the century. It would seem everyone has once again become fascinated with uptown chic, think Kate herself mixed with members of the cast from 'The Tudors' in order to create or incorporate an element of regality to your look.

A Label to Lust: Brioni

The Italian family owned brand 'Brioni' has been creating beautiful ladylike pieces with a tailored edge since 1945. Recently I have had my eye on the brand as it seems to have upped its game and is now creating not only tailored classics but statement pieces along with beautiful fabrics and detail. Their A/W 11 show which was showcased at Milan fashion week hit new high notes with particular reference to the lace effect jumpsuit and the studded shirt with slouched pants.

Here are some of the other strong looks from the show
