Royal Ascot - Royal Enclosure in Style ...

I have had the most fabulous weekend at Royal Ascot. I was lucky enough to be invited into the Royal Enclosure which was simply fabulous !

The first thing that popped into my mind was what to wear??!!! The dress code is notoriously strict and 'getting it wrong' is not an option! The hunt was on for the perfect dress that fitted the criteria .. sitting on the knee with straps over one inch thick and not too much flesh showing.. ! Once I had found a dress I was happy with I had to choose the shoes .. and as always I went for Louboutin's. Classic and Chic .. sheer elegance.

The dress was a success and I felt very elegant in my chosen outfit. I managed to last for 17 hours in my 7" Louboutins, I think this must be a record for me and my feet are still recovering !!

Luke ( a dear friend) booked a stretch Limo for us packed full of Harrods Hampers and Champagne for the journey as a surprise .. what a treat !

This really is the only way to travel to Ascot !!

This week we have a packed work load, HC HQ are busy packing the trailer for The Royal Highland Show and tomorrow I embark on the long 13 hour drive to Edinburgh with the trailer in tow!

I have made sure my i pod is suitably stocked up with 'Jaguar Skills' mixes to keep us entertained. Thankfully we have DAB radio in the Discovery so we also have one extra on tap!!!

Make sure you come and visit us at the show for some amazing exclusive deals.

Amika VIP, Ollie Locke and HELLO photo shoot with Jack Kidd

Its been an action packed couple of days ... I have had a fabulous weekend wining and dining with close friends in London. We had a fabulous VIP table at Amika with close friend Ollie Locke and now star in Made in Chelsea.

It was odd to see him with fans clamoring to have photo's with him when I have known him for so long!!! He takes it all in his stride and looks fabulous as always. Ollie and I met at The Royal Agricultural College four years ago where we instantly hit it off - when I decided to leave half way through to set up Holland Cooper Ollie was one of the only people at the college to be right behind me and we spent the first year of the business living together getting the company off the ground .. what fun we had together with many hilarious memories .. its great that now his career has gone off at 100 mph I can dress him in Holland Cooper for these fabulous occasions.

We spent a long afternoon having lunch at Auto Matt London yesterday designing some fabulous limited edition tweed jackets for him to wear on the show and out and about for press events across the country...

The Morrison tweed Jacket is his favorite and we have done these in some amazing colours .. with extravagant sumptuous linings ..watch this space as we will be posting the photos shortly ..

It was great to see him walking down the Kings Road in his favorite embroidered Holland Cooper hoodie!

To top this exciting week off we also had a photo shoot with HELLO magazine dressing Callie and Jack Kidd for their first shoot since the wedding and their beautiful new baby was born .... this will be out in the next three weeks and we will post this on the site as soon as it is published! They are both big fans of Holland Cooper and Callie was the face of Holland Cooper last year - we provided her with the beautiful Chelsea Tweed Coat, Tweed Sporting Jacket and Prince of Wales Tweed Jacket all of which she loved ...

I am looking forward to going to ASCOT this Saturday and I have been lucky enough to be invited into the Royal Enclosure .. I will make sure I update you on this fabulous occasion with all the gossip on Monday!!

Love to All xxxxx

The Mad Month of May ...

Well … what a busy month May has been …. And now we are in June already! The HC Team have all been busy focusing on the website which is looking fabulous (even if I say so myself)!

I have been all over the country meeting new clients and looking into exciting new ventures for Holland Cooper… watch this space!

This last weekend was the Hurlingham Mint Polo in The Park .. what fun it was! It was great to see old friends Jamie Morrison, Jack Kidd and Henry Brett all playing well … and Ollie Locke who is now part of ‘Made in Chelsea’ for a long catch up!

The weather was positively sweltering on Saturday reaching highs of 35 degrees and I was relieved that we decided not to take a pitch there this year as most of the exhibitors stood about looking miserable in the grinding heat!

The Veuve Clicquot Tent was buzzing as was the Mahiki Tent …and it was nice to relax out of the mayhem in the VIP area and catch up with all the players!

Unfortunately due to the heat I was unable to wear my favourite HC Chelsea Coat on Saturday.. instead I wore a limited edition Holland Cooper blue suede high waisted pencil skirt and paired this with a lace striped top and matching Louboutin pumps .. however as the rain came down on Sunday Holland Cooper tweed came into its own!

I paired the Angora Chelsea coat with skinny white jeans and Blue suede Louboutin Daffodil Platform Pumps … and girls you will be amazed how comfortable these are, I wore them for 9 hours straight with no aches or pains!!!! The beauty of the Chelsea Coat is how fitted it is and makes you feel super glamorous .. I was stopped several times and complimented which was lovely..

It was great to see lot’s of Holland Cooper being worn from Gilets to flirty Ra Ra skirts … we saw lot’s of the HC lavender tweed being worn .. I think because of the summery colour and the light weight feel to the fabric.

So what’s next? There are so many social events coming up that we are all very excited about; from Wimbledon to Ascot it is all happening! … The big question is what to wear?

Well with our fabulous new style guide you simply cannot go wrong … You can consult this for every event with style tips and guides for each month, you will be consulting this as you style bible! With the HC Team of stylists and fashionists on hand to give all their knowledge on what to wear this is the ultimate guide, packed with info!
