Our Royal Wedding Look-a-likes!

By Ken Synnott in Competitions, Get the look on Wednesday 4th May, 2011

We weren’t surprised to see each of the Royal Wedding guests pull out all the stops last Friday, and everyone was certainly dressed to the nines! From the sharp tuxes, dramatic draped fabrics, and stunning tailored cuts, we had a brilliant time style spotting them all!

It also seems like a lot of you had your eyes on the outfits too, as we received some brilliant entries in our Royal Wedding outfit look-a-like competition on our Twitter page! We simply asked all of our followers to pick a guest’s outfit from the wedding and send us a look-a-like item from the Clothing at Tesco range, for their chance to win that item.

It was particularly difficult to choose, but after much deliberation, we managed to whittle them down to ten winners. Check out the first five winners below, and stay tuned as we reveal the next five winners on the blog tomorrow!

Joss wore this very vibrant pink shift dress from Hobbs, and @KJaybaby1 rightly pointed out the similarities with the 18 And East Strappy Back Dress, which has the same fabulously bright colour and fitted cut.

Frances Osborne

We loved the simplicity of Frances Osborne’s grey fitted dress, and this F&F Limited Edition Knitted Dress features the same long sleeves and block colour – thanks to @Welshbybirth for sending us this one.

Princess Beatrice

Princess Beatrice’s outfit might be remembered more for the Philip Treacy hat, but the nude coloured Valentino couture coat she wore was simply stunning. We loved this entry from @kazautomatic who suggested that she could have actually been wearing the Angel Eye Ruffle Neckline Belted Dress underneath!

Pippa Middleton

Pippa Middleton’s bridesmaid dress designed by Sarah Burton has already captivated millions worldwide, and this Ichi Cowl Neck Dress sent to us by @b_fly77, features similar capped sleeves and the gorgeous cowl neck. Also, check out how we would style it here!

Victoria Beckham

We all expected Victoria Beckham to make a memorable appearance, and her midnight blue draped number from her own label certainly made an impact. @becksell2001 thinks that the gorgeous Amys Of Paris One Shoulder Dress makes it a great alternative – and we have to say we agree!

Remember to check back tomorrow, as we’ll be revealing the next five winners in a blog post! But if you had the choice, what would you have worn to the Royal Wedding?

Get The Look: Pippa Middleton

By Ken Synnott in Get the look, Trends on Tuesday 3rd May, 2011

The long weekend might be over, but we just can’t seem to shake the Royal Wedding fever! From the beautiful ceremony and gorgeous styling, to the all-important celebrations – a great day was certainly had by all.

However whilst all eyes were on the happy couple, Kate’s younger sister Pippa also managed to steal a bit of the royal limelight. Walking up the aisle in a breathtaking floor length creation by Sarah Burton at Alexander McQueen, she quickly found herself the focus of the world’s gaze thanks to its elegant simplicity that seemed so fitting for the occasion.

And if you’d like to recreate Pippa’s ‘wow-factor’ look, we’ve got the perfect alternative. This fab dress by Ichi features the same cowl neck and capped sleeves that we loved on Pippa’s dress, whilst also being extremely versatile allowing you to dress it up or down depending on the occassion!

To dress it up we’d pair it with this cropped jacket which features lovely bow details, along with a pair of trusty slingback heels. But if you’d rather dress it down, why not wear it with a pair of these wedged sandals that have a great cut out detailing, and this chic neutral coloured cardigan!

Ichi Cowl Neck Dress – £18

Dress it up:

F&F Limited Edition Bow Back Cropped Jacket – £35, F&F Slingback Kitten Heel Shoes – £14

Dress it down:

F&F Limited Edition Knitted Waterfall Cardigan – £16, F&F Cut Out Wedged Sandal – £15

Little Wedding Belles

By Rochelle Symons in Childrenswear, News on Thursday 24th March, 2011

There’s no doubt about it – 2011 will go down as the biggest wedding year for nearly three decades.  Obviously Will and Kate are the highlight of all the celeb marriages taking place this year, and we cannot wait to see the dress, the flowers and the gorgeous bridesmaids and pageboys!

If you like your brides a little more rocky, there’s always the other Kate (Miss Moss) and Jamie Hince planning what we can imagine will be a 2-week non-stop party to celebrate.  We wouldn’t like to be her neighbours, but we would like an invite pretty please!

Nearly trumping the lot, the big news that we’re launching our own wedding shop, complete with beautiful bridesmaids and pageboy outfits!  Anyone who’s ever been a bridesmaid will know how special it feels, and yes, it is all about your dress!  Clothing at Tesco bridesmaid dresses start at just £18 for little princesses from 12 months to 10 years, with linen and pinstripe suits for handsome pageboys aged 5 to 14 starting at just £25.

The bridesmaid range comprises a choice of six dresses in a range of fabrics and colours, including pink and white silk, with beautiful sashes, bows, sequins and appliqué flowers and butterflies.  There’s also a choice of matching cardies to cover up if old blighty decides to blow a breeze on the big day.

Pageboys can choose between linen suits in beige or pale grey, a pinstripe suit in black or navy, or a three piece waistcoat set.

With so many arrangements to make for the big day, it’ll be a relief to know that finding an outfit for the second most important lady or gent isn’t going to break the bank or require hours of searching!

Selected items are online to buy now, with the full range launching mid-April – that’s just in time for the two Kates to dress their little belles before the big day!
