It is the four days between 11 and 14 July that have been set aside to celebrate the 60th anniversary of The Queen’s Coronation. The festival is a unique and superbly exciting event that takes place in the Gardens of Buckingham Palace. Such a remarkable setting is the perfect backdrop for grand revelry celebrating innovation and excellence.

Whilst nestled in the royal gardens, you might not literally be rubbing shoulders with the imperials. There will be scores of people there though so take this opportunity to brandish an extra-ordinary ensemble and really fit in to the surroundings.

The daytime event allows visitors to explore the setting while sampling and buying the vast range of products and services from the exhibitors. This will require strolling from one showcase to the next, so be it pumps or flats, make sure you don a comfortable pair of shoes. The ultimate lift to any outfit has got to be the accessories. Daytime is ideal for subtle splashes of glimmer. Combine the smart-casual look with a unique piece like the Time Square Pendant or a wrist full of shimmer with bangles or bracelets.

If spectacular excellence is up your alley, the Coronation Gala will most certainly suit your style. The Gardens, with Buckingham Palace as the backdrop, is the setting for this prestigious evening event. While most eyes might be on the jaw-dropping entertainment, one should certainly get into the spirit of the occasion and look the part for the affair. Black tie is not necessary but one shouldn’t settle for anything less than chic glamour. To attain this simple yet stunning look, one cannot go wrong by adding some gold accessories to a predominantly black outfit.

Gilded drop earrings or dazzling finger pieces like the Zaras Ring boasting iridescent gems are just the items to glamorise an evening ensemble. Should you choose a captivating trinket like the Classic Splendour Necklace, don’t overdo the dazzle in other areas.

A fresh and heated season is on the temperate horizon! The warm weather allows greater freedom where outfit selection and accessorising is concerned. Brights, patterns and showing some skin is in! So without further ado – it is time to take a look at the top trends to keep you ahead of the summer fashion pack with true sizzling style and gorgeous glamour.

Flowers

Nothing screams summer louder than florals. While pretty petals have long since been a summery trend, expand your thinking past the usual flowery trousers, skirts and dresses. Think floral footwear as well as bags and belts in bloom. Broaden the blossoms to include stylish floral jewellery to max this trend.

Whites

Without a doubt, white and every shade thereof, is the colour of the season. A great go-to item of clothing for summer this year is a well-fitted pair of white jeans. White denim is ultra-versatile and can be matched with any colour of the spectrum. It is easy to dress from day to night by adding a gorgeous pair of heels and a few choice pieces of jewellery.

Pride London Festival was started to offer an annual opportunity to create cultural, artistic, commemorative and educational events to affirm the choices and lives of homo, bi, transsexual and transgender individuals. The purpose of it was to create support through activities which promote not only awareness, but endorse inclusion and unity of sexual and gender diversity.  

This festival has not only lived up to its objective, but has surpassed it by becoming one of London’s most colourful festivals. Grab your feather boas, flash and flutter your falsies – Pride London Festival 2013 is here and provides an excuse to celebrate in extravagant style.

The celebration is about equality, liberty and the right to wear as many rainbows as realistically possible. With over half a million people expected, you certainly will have an audience to you sartorial selections, so make them count.

The Pride London Parade is the highlight and grand finale of the two week festival seeing a myriad of stunningly colourful shimmering performers prancing their way around the streets of the capital in a colossal convoy. Use the 100m long rainbow pride flag as grand inspiration. If dressing like a polychromatic kaleidoscope is too much for you to handle, bring on the bling with some colourful accessories to add some glittering sparkle to your get-up.

This feisty festival allows for ultimate creativity and imagination to flourish. Use the opportunity not only to celebrate but to take your originality and clothing courage to a new level. Party with Pride.

It might be summertime, but micro-minis, flip flops and jeans are just not cricket – and they certainly aren’t tennis either! Sartorial standards around wonderful Wimbledon seem to have been slipping somewhat resulting in organisers at the All England Club issuing a dress code. That is good news as the opportunity to put on awesome apparel and take dressing up a notch is much welcomed. As if ladies ever need a reason…

The Members Enclosure is a non-negotiable ‘smarty pants’ area with men expected to wear nothing less than a lounge suit or tailored jacket, trousers, shirt, tie and dress shoes. Ladies are required to dress to a similar standard. Luckily for most, the General Admissions area is not quite so stringent when laying down the sartorial law. It does not mean, however, that you should arrive in sweats and trainers looking more like one of the tennis players. Take this high-profile opportunity to glam up a little.

The preppy look is an ideal explication linking tennis and fashion. Combine a shift dress, straight summer skirt or a fitted pair of trousers with dashing pumps or some stylish sandals as the base of the look. A collared shirt adds a touch of yuppie while a tailored blazer or a cardigan thrown over the shoulders finishes off the outfit perfectly. A flash of gilded trinkets is the cherry on the top of this classic look. Put on stunners like the Star Drop or Unique Pendulum earrings or a Divine Tennis Bracelet to add some glimmer to your get up.

Among your dazzling accessories, make sure you carry an umbrella! Although the tennis courts boast a retractable roof overhead, it takes nothing less than 10 minutes to close – meaning you might get caught in a little sprinkle.
