My other blog...

So tonight I was doing a bit of graphic design, and I made this header for my new blog... I have to admit I'm feeling quite proud of myself now, even though it could be better. I'll make one for this blog as well, but could you check out my new one anyway, to see Le grande masterpiece (not!) up close and take a general look around... Thankyou! You can find my other (newer) blog by going to my profile then clicking it from the list of my blogs from there, or going to: www.Hollie-lurves.blogspot.com
I made this in picasa, which is free, so anyone can try it out!

Featured fashion icon: Kate Middleton

From the moment she first stepped into the spotlight, Kate Middleton, now the Duchess of Cambridge, was always destined to be a fashion trendsetter. Her outfits have inspired hundreds of copies and countless trends, so you can hardly deny her the title of fashion icon. I've put together a timeline of sorts, showing the highlights of her fashion journey. (The first two pictures are in order, the rest are not, and are just some favorites I picked out)

Kate moddeling a student designed dress at college.  The dress is now said to be worth around £100,000. 

Kate when announcing her engagement to Prince William. Her royal blue chiffon style dress could be named as her most iconic, leading to hundreds of copies all over the high-street, because everyone wanted to steal her style. The dress, made by ISSA, sold out within a matter of hours after she wore it, and later a further five copies were made for sale in Selfridges for online fashion week.

Kate wore these colourful coral skinny jeans when she went to meet  team Great Britain's hockey players a the Olympic park, located in London. Being a true fashion icon, Kate wore the jeans in two different ways: dressed up with a blazer and scarf, then dressed down with a hoodie for a hockey match.
I'm completely in love with this beautiful  dress, designed by Jenny Packham, that Kate was seen wearing. I think the pale pink/pink tinted cream colour is set off perfectly by the diamante detailing, and the cinched waist looks great, too!   

This is another Jenny Packham dress that Kate wore, which makes the perfect colour statement for the red carpet, going all out with a bold dress as well as a matching clutch!
