How To Inject Kate Middleton Style To Your Wardrobe For Jubilee Weekend Festivities

Posted on May 24, 2012 by

With the Diamond Jubilee almost upon us the air of celebration is heating up at Fox & Rose HQ today and of course our attentions are focused on the Royal Family. So what better excuse to pay homage to one of our favourite style icons of the moment, the timelessly elegant Kate Middleton. A lady with immaculate taste when it comes to evening glamour, often sporting one of Jenny Packham’s wondrous creations, we thought we’d put together our ultimate collection of this season’s most luxurious lingerie fit for a Princess. And what designer would be more fitting than Jenny Packham herself?

We’ve hand picked an edited selection from her SS12 designer lingerie collection that would certainly be fit for the Royal Wardrobe. Pictured above is the wondrous Swarovsky silk chiffon chemise. With padded cups clevery disguised by intricate pleating, this seductive piece creates a stunning silhouette and is totally in keeping with signature Jenny Packham styling.

Equally as ethereal in its design is the Seduce Me Gown by Shell Belle Couture.

This dramatic, couture piece is crafted from a vintage spot tulle with exquisite appliqued leavers lace detailing and will transport you to the bygone era of the 1930’s. Perfect for seeing you elegantly attired to bed!

If you like your robes to sweep the floor dramatically as you walk then we’d highly recommend investing in another Jenny Packham classic, the breathtaking silk chiffon robe. Trimmed in luxurious silk-satin, this diaphanous coverup is an elegant and inspired choice. Tie the sash in a bow over the matching chemise to create a truly exquisite look that will draw admiring gasps should you be stalking the corridors while on a well deserved break.

Designed to be supremely flattering, infinitely wearable yet at the same time provides that little extra luxury to lift your mood.

We adore her signature range Clara Whispering, seen left in a subtle blush perfect for summer. The silk lined ups and intricate lace detailing on the shoulder straps make for a sumptuous lingerie set certain to become a well loved favourite.

Posted on April 19, 2012 by

Bridal lingerie is the jewel in the crown of any blushing bride. The piece de resistance, icing on the cake. Choosing the right wedding underwear (and indeed the lingerie that will accompany you on your blissful honeymoon) is just as important as choosing the right wedding dress. Except its the garments that will only be seen by your groom so it’s an extra special, private treat.

At Fox & Rose we’ve scoured the most wonderful designer lingerie brands in the world with an eye on those show stopping pieces that are guaranteed to excite passions, perfectly fitting for the occasion as well as being absolutely beautiful (and not to mention worthy of being worn after the wedding is over). Without further ado, here’s our top five bridal lingerie picks for 2012:

The Seduce Me Gownin ivory by Shell Belle Couture is quite simple stunning. The floor sweeping spot tulle offers a vintage look with modern styling and is a dramatic, couture sleepwear gown perfect for brides, honeymooners or just anybody who likes to retire to bed elegantly attired.

Crafted from a vintage spot tulle with exquisite appliqued leavers lace detailing this luxurious piece will transport you to the bygone era of the 1930’s.

The Snowflake Bride Playsuit by Ell & Cee

A bestseller for the last 2 years at Fox & Rose, this ivory playsuit is soft, ethereal and floaty, ideal for post wedding lounging. The heavenly silk chiffon fabric wafts seductively over the body giving a supremely feminine, yet sexy silhouette. We love the plunging neckline, which is supremely flattering on all body types.

A glorious bridal look that will send pulses racing and complement any themed wedding!

The Goddess Jewel Encrusted Maxi by Ell & Cee is a spectacular creation that is perfect for an ultra glamorous resort look. Crafted from an exquisite silk chiffon, this floaty maxi has a detachable pearl encrusted neckpiece that attaches to it creating a complete look that is both ethereal and ultra fashionable.

The high side splits lend it a supremely sensuous feel. This garment will take you from pre wedding lounging, through to wedding night/breakfast the morning after and right through to poolside glamour with a bridal twist. We LOVE this maxi dress!

Jenny Packham’s Silk Chiffon Robe is quite simply made for a princess.

Trimmed in luxurious silk-satin, this diaphanous silk-chiffon robe from the iconic british designer Jenny Packham is an elegant and inspired choice. Tie the sash in a bow over the matching chemise to create a truly exquisite look.

Not only will this robe see you elegantly clad in the bedroom, but it’s perfect attire for covering up in the most stylish way for photography pre-ceremony.

Elle Macpherson’s Obsidian range is the high end version of her spectacular lingerie collection. And there are some real gems in there for brides – from bra and brief sets, to silk playsuits and lace gowns, you’re guaranteed to find something you adore from her collection. We’ve picked out the Maria Lace Robe as it’s fashion forward yet vintage and a perfect coverup that will also become a treasured favourite at home post wedding.

Crafted from a fine French Leaver’s lace with scalloped hemline, silk tie sash that nips in the waist and finished with a seductive hood detail at the back. Perfect for brides in search of that special piece for their wedding night or honeymoon.

Top Tips For How To Look Fabulous On Your Spa Break From Fox & Rose

Posted on April 13, 2012 by

Embarking on a well overdue spa break can often mean you end up packing a suitcase with items that would be better left for a camping trip. With a little thought and planning beforehand, you’ll look glamourous and stylish even before the first pampering treatment begins. At Fox & Rose we think this is the best way to start your relaxing escape, so here are our top tips on looking stylish at the spa:

1) Before you go make sure you’re well groomed: with minimum effort you can ensure your fingers and toes are presentable which will instantly give you style points!

2) Take a trip to your hairdresser the day before: a nice cut, fresh style or indeed just a little extra curation will go a long way to making sure you step into the spa a seasoned beauty queen.

3) Put yourself on a detox / healthy eating plan 5 days before you arrive. OK, it’s been said a million times over but drink more water and flush out a few toxins before the massage and pummelling begins.

4) Select the right bag to take with you. Don’t ram all your worldly goods into your regular “one size fits all” super tote. No no. A stylish carry companion will make you feel like a total glamour queen on entry so pick well.

5) Invest in some glamourous bikinis, bathing suits and beautiful kaftans or coverups for floating around princess-like.

At Fox & Rose we’ve road tested the best (we know, it’s a hard job but someone has to do it). Go for a shape enhancing halterneck bathing suit and perhaps a fashion forward number. We’d also recommend an eye catching bikini or two for the hours you will spend among warm bubbles. When the bubbles become too much and you exit for a glass of wine (or juice, but if you’ve detoxed as per our previous advice then you’ve already done that bit…see how it works? ;-D) robe yourself in a stunning floor length maxi dress or a beautiful kaftan. We adore all the coverups by Pistol Panties this season, from their midi designer kaftans to floor length kaftans. Stunning for a spa break and perfect to take on holiday all year round. A sound investment piece we think!

Where to find bathing suits that actually work for your figure: a question that we at Fox & Rose decided to answer by launching the most stunning designer swimwear collection this season.

Zimmermann And Iodus: Two New Beachwear Brands At Fox & Rose

Posted on April 12, 2012 by

At Fox & Rose we’ve been researching the world’s top boutique designer swimwear brands with a certain studiousness (sic: obsession) over the last 12 months. And we are delighted to introduce two new brands to the site this week.

Zimmermann is without doubt the style queen’s absolute must-buy this season. Loved by the fashion and lifestyle press, the pieces for SS12 had buyers in an absolute frenzy. Zimmermann is the brainchild of two Australian sisters Nicky and Simone Zimmermann who launched their label in 1991. Including clothing and swimwear, the brand uses strong styling with delicate prints to create a truly striking effect. Loved by jet setters and fast becoming the glamourous swimwear brand of choice for a worldwide following, Zimmermann swimwear perfect for cutting a fine silhouette and attracting admiring glances.

Equally as beautiful is Iodus, now available at Fox & Rose. This classic French swimwear brand combines super styling with sharp design to create simple yet striking one pieces and beautiful bikinis that are sure to delight this summer. With an emphasis on optimum fit and top quality fabrics, the timeless classic look favoured by the brand will work well in any holiday situation – if you’re on a spa break, sunning yourself on a paradise island or if you’re strutting in the Balerics.
