Kate Middleton a fan of Warehouse!

One of my fave Kate Middleton purchases!
Literally anything that's associated with the Royal Wedding will generate HUGE publicity, so you can imagine Warehouse's PR department's delight when the soon-to-be Royal popped into the store to do some shopping.

As you do, you know if you're a normal girl, not a Princess in the making! OK, so she had her bodyguard with her, but still Kate's definitely down with the kids.

Within hours of her choosing four modest items, Warehouse went into overdrive marketing what Kate bought online and releasing a press statement; you can't say they're slow on the uptake can you?!

Still, we've still to cover the most important thing- just what did our style queen buy? Well, I'll tell you- floral and crochet were the order of the day for Kate.

Simple, stylish and understated elegance for a price, which most women wanting to replicate the gorgeous Kate can match.

I don't know about you but the Whistles blouse and Issa engagement dress were very much out of my budget, but this high-street fave has come up trumps by nabbing a style patron like Kate.

Hell, who am I kidding they could cash in on this for years! All I'm waiting for now is to see Kate in the sold out tropical Primark dress, or rocking some scalloped shorts courtesy of Topshop and I'm sold!

Monday Fashion Alert

Katie debuts a new look on X Factor: Copyright ITV
Katie is still in X Factor: It seems image really is everything and let's be honest, she had nothing left to lose by changing her style yet again. A short boyish crop and an array of baby doll dresses certainly says: "I'm sweet, innocent and defenceless- please don't vote me out." Call me cynical, but it definitely worked this weekend.

Gillian fainting on I'm a Celeb: I don't know about you but I couldn't stop laughing, which under the circumstances means I'm either a very mean person OR Gillian has irked me and millions of others beyond belief. I'll go with the latter, if only because she clearly has a thing for medic Bob and wears indecently small shorts. Ew.

Get Kate's ring on QVC Less than a week since the Royal engagement was announced and QVC have already made a replica of Kate's engagement ring. Fast work, I'm sure you'll agree! "The Princess Simulated Sapphire Ring" by Kenneth Jay Lane is available for a mere $39.54. Shame Wills didn't think ahead, he could've saved himself a fortune!

Olivia Palermo to get own TV show: Yes, she with the incredible glossy hair has managed to land herself a new gig after The City was axed. “I’m currently working on a TV project, my own show," she announced via Elle.com Ooo secretive much?!

Forget the ring, what will Kate wear on the big day?!

So, unless you live on Mars you'll be well aware that Prince William and Kate Middleton have announced they are to marry early next year.

Hurrah! I personally feel like I've been waiting for this news forever, and so do most of the world's media, if the headlines are anything to go by.

What I'm most interested in though is who Kate will choose to wear on the big day, and will she cover up or flash a bit of flesh?

This could well be the biggest fashion event of the spring next year, so she'll have to get it right.

Rumours of British designers have already been thrown into the ring- a mere 12 hours after the news was announced and people are already taking bets; it's THAT big a deal.

Fashion experts have predicted a couture dress, complete with a high neck, that should both be demure, yet stylish. Eek! The girl is in her twenties, give her a strapless fairytale gown if she wants!

Check out Brides.com for some amazing sketches by wedding designers, showing their vision for Kate. Not a high neck in sight. Phew.

Gossip Girl: Chuck and Blair's epic meeting!

Chuck and Blair in Gossip Girl: Double Identity
Woohoo, Gossip Girl is back on UK screens tonight, but that hasn’t stopped me having a little sneaky peak at the episode which aired in the US on Monday.

OMG is all I can say. It was one of the best episodes ever and considering it was only the second one of the season that’s saying a lot.

Of course the reason it was so utterly heartbreaking was Chuck and Blair’s epic exchange at the train station. I literally had tears streaming down my eyes, and before you say anything- Yes, I am very sad like that!

It’s what happens when you invest the best part of three years in a TV couple! Anyway, outfit wise- this was another cracking effort from Eric Daman.

Despite Serena parading around Paris in one very unflattering pair of blue trousers and a sparkly jacket the whole episode, Blair got to rock at least four outfits.

Without a doubt the Oscar De La Renta ruffled gown stole the show, especially when teamed with Harry Winston jewels.



THAT scene (watch above if you have some Kleenex handy) needed an epic dress and Blair looked sensational, even after she broke my heart by declaring she didn’t love Chuck anymore.

He didn’t seem to take that statement too well either, in fact he looked on the verge of tears as she handed back the stolen engagement ring to its rightful owner.

Long story… which does get explained in the episode, but everything else just paled in comparison to that one scene.

I can’t wait for this season to play out and with Chuck on his way back to NYC with new gal, Eva (bleugh!) in toe, it’s going to be catfights all the way….

Check out the Gossip Girl premiere on tonight ITV2 8pm.
