Kate Middleton completed an official visit to Northern Ireland this week with her fiance Prince William. She chose to wear a chic Burberry trench for the occasion causing a shopping frenzy. The £650 style she was wearing has since largely sold out, but there are plenty more coats available in a similar look. I have rounded up ten fab trench coats so that you can follow the stylish lead of this Read more
It's been a long, cold Winter, but now that March is here that means Spring has (almost) officially arrived! I am embracing the new season's love for colour by investing in eye catching pieces in blocks of bright hues. There are some neutral pieces catching my eye, but I am desperately trying to stay away from black designs. Click through to see which items I'm lusting after this month. Read more
Last week, I shared the first part of my interview with Henry Holland where he talked about the importance of High Street collaborations and working with Debenhams. Now, in the final installment, Henry talks about his Spring '11 collection and Nicola Roberts. Did you feel your Spring show went well? Henry Holland: Really well, I was really happy with it.

In my post London Fashion Week haze, I was invited to the Debenhams flagship store to check out the latest H! by Henry Holland collection and to meet the man himself. He was suffering from a cold and downing Lemsip throughout, but this didn't stop him being friendly and easy to talk to. Henry chatted happily with myself and fellow online writers including Park & Cube, Wolf Whistle and Read more
Just before the official catwalk season kicked off, Debenhams held a special preview at The Haymarket hotel of Ben de Lisi's latest collection for Principles. The store was one of the victims of the credit crunch and has since been revived by the department store with a fresh, new, mature feel. Ben relaunched the range last Winter and it was a huge success. I got a preview of the Spring 2011 Read more
Calling all fake tan addicts! I have a nifty solution for ensuring that your hue stays the right side of orange. Debenhams this week launched its very own in-store Tan Tone Colour Chart. The chart is a helpful colour guide allowing customers to see what end of the tanning scale they're on by matching their skin to the colour blocks. Categories range from Pale and Interesting to Radioactive Orange Read more
Airbrushing has become a hot topic in the last year. Julia Roberts is the latest celebrity to be criticised following her heavily retouched Lancôme ad.

Now Debenhams has entered the ring by becoming the first High Street retailer to use non-airbrushed images. The company is trialing the Read more
Botox has become a worldwide phenomenon in recent years and now its producers are reaping the benefits! Yesterday Allergan Inc., the producer of the plastic surgery treatment, reported profits were up a staggering 19 percent. The company is trading shares at 17 times its initial prediction for 2011 and is now worth £879 million! Not bad, considering it was bought for a bargainous £6 million Read more
Last week, I was invited along to Debenhams to learn all about bras. I must admit, I didn't expect it to be as interesting or as informative as it was and I left feeling like I'd really learnt something. I couldn't wait to share this with you as I imagine you (like me) don't realise just how much work goes in to making bras. Click through to learn about the different stages of production from Read more
Matthew Williamson has been collaborating with Debenhams for many years. His collections have proved to be extremely popular and made him a household name. Williamson is one of those designers who seems to suit Summer more than Winter, and his current line for Debenhams has really impressed me. I am particularly in love with this silk skirt (£35) which is gorgeous quality for such a Read more
