Kate Middleton Looks Dowdy, Samantha Cameron Goes Glam

As we're focusing on the close of London Fashion Week, we can't help but take a look at what the royals and pols are wearing, specifically yesterday. There's no doubt that Kate Middleton can make almost anything work with her gorgeous smile and slim figure. But even pretty clothes-horses can look dowdy. Case in point: The brown princess-cut coat dress with the fuddy-duddy print that even a Princess like the Duchess of Cambridge can't pull off. Yes, Catherine looks like an old lady. There, I've said it, the pretty youthful Princess looks decades older than her years and rather stodgy to boot. While Samantha Cameron, wife of the Prime Minister, hosted a reception to celebrate London Fashion Week at 10 Downing Street for members

Whitney Houston
As we learned of Whitney Houston's passing last weekend we like many of you out there felt an overwhelming shock and genuine sympathy for the fallen star for her voice was like no other.

Brad Boles looks back at their time together. -N.H. The unexpected that comes along in life can work in funny ways sometimes.

Kate Middleton wears a very Mad Men dress & makes it NOT look stuffy

Styling Tips how you can too... Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge stepped out solo last night in London for the opening of the Lucien Freud Portraits Exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery. MORE: Kate Middleton Style  Her VERY 1950's Mad Men style dress referenced the open portrait shawl collar dresses that Queen Elizabeth wore in the 1950's. The full-skirt, elbow-length sleeves, and shawl collared styling of Kate Middleton's Jesire number, a High-Street brand that we aren't finding online, could be stuffy and downright dowdy if not worn the right way. Frankly, the obvious 1950's styling can look a bit too costumey and the Mad Man fashion moment is on the wane for copycat styling references. But, if you want to wear the look, here's

Here’s How Michelle Obama Makes Pastels Look Chic

I'll Have What She's Having : Sophisticated & pretty pastel shades oozing with daytime elegance. Pastels can be tricky to pull off if  you want to look more refined rather than youthful.
