Kingdom Of Style: Be DazzledThe weather in the Kingdom has been truly horrendous. Rain, wind and ocassional snippets of sunshine which soon get swallowed up by ominous black cloud. I can scarely believe I still need to wear fake fur in June. I had to buy a new wool hat only last week! I think in weather like this we need...

Kingdom Of Style: Temporary Red However, my dear friend Alex, from Alex Donald's Multiverse, pointed me in the direction of these red coated biker style jeans from ASOS. These seem to be the perfect in-the-meantime trousers, until the perfect leathers present themselves to me. It doesn't mention the style being cropped...

Kingdom Of Style: hello sailor... It is available at two of the Kingdom's favourite boutiques I adore this coat. Even though it could make me look like a Frances Brundage illustration. I'd be willing to take the risk! Even though her name be unfamiliar, you will be familiar with her work. This Victorian illustrator...

Kingdom Of Style: bite me...It's still all about beads and necklaces here in The Kingdom! Queen Michelle is trapped in a crystal cave and someone has locked me inside the Vagabond Van... But grabbing big handfuls of Zulu Teething Beads,as I climbed out the window, I escaped long enough to take some shots and share my...

Kingdom Of Style: perfect sense... Ewan McGregor plays Micheal, a chef, in typical McGregor style - charming, arrogant, conceited but fundamentally decent. Eva Green plays Susan, a scientist, in typical Green Style - chilly, intelligent, mocking and slightly emotionally damaged. Basically it is an apocalyptic love story...

Kingdom Of Style: Beautifully Off BalanceWe are always excited about finding new jewellery designers in the Kingdom - a girl can never have too many jewels after all. I found Middlesex University educated designer Zelia Horsley via Twitter - well, more accurately, she found me. Zelia's work seems all about balance or, rather,...

Kingdom Of Style: Snake StalkerI was utterly chuffed to pick up this Style Stalker snakeprint shirt in the Amelie Boutique sale. I've already worn it lots and can see it fast becoming a wardrobe staple. It's so wonderful seeing how far the label has come since writing about them back in 2008. They have, thankfully,...

Kingdom Of Style: Sale StalkerWe are fond of a good online sale in the Kingdom. Infact, for me, these are probably the only sales I find much luck with. Sales in actual shops never seem to throw up much by way of decent finds for me. All my best buys have been online. I have little folders of things on my computer which...

Kingdom Of Style: hail, sleet and sunglassesIn a week that has seen The Kingdom lashed with 100 mile per hour winds, rain, hailstone and sleet, I have of course, have spent the entire week thinking about new sunglasses... They keep finding new things that are sent to tempt me and drive me almost mad. This time it is a collaboration...

Kingdom Of Style: Lazy FredYou know we are big fans of Lazy Oaf in the Kingdom, so a wee while agao when I received an email about their collaboartion with Fred Butler, it was pretty exciting. I can't imagine a more perfect match. We sadly couldn't go to their event to launch the collab since we are, as always, stuck up...

Kingdom Of Style: Precious Her creations appeal to my love of vintage style jewellery which looks like it came straight out of my Gran's jewellery box. Lyudmila work is all about intricate handcrafted filigree designs housing beautiful gemstones. I am buying a blue agate ring at the moment, but no doubt another...

Kingdom Of Style: Winter In SummerI know we moan about the weather in the Kingdom a lot. It's either wrecking Queen Marie's garden or stopping us doing anything that involves outdoors without wanting to get soaked, but yesterday the shit summer we've had in Scotland was really brought into sharp focus when Prince B and I were...

Kingdom Of Style: Grey Day Autumn appears to arrived with full force in the Kingdom. On Sunday it was a wrap up warm day with lots of assymetric details, the impetus of which was my Babooshka Boutique grey tail spin skirt, which is short at the front and drapes low at the back. I wore is sideways to compliment my...

Kingdom Of Style: Royal Tea PartyAt the weekend there was a Kingdom teaparty in honour of Queen Marie's birthday. If I don't say so myself, I do put on a rather splendid little teaparty! We had the most gorgeous cupcakes, which came from The Little Cupcake Shop in Shawlands, which I placed on a fun cardboard cake stand. I...

Kingdom Of Style: Techno WangIn the Kingdom we have a colour we call Techno Green. It's possibly the most favourite colour of Queen Marie and I, and one we both have lots of. Techno Green is a shade of army green but called Techno Green because whenever we would go to techno events in warehouses or on boats, it was...

Kingdom Of Style: Beasts UnseenWe are always interested in art and unique art projects in the Kingdom and artist and designer Lindsey Carr has embarked on a curious and unsual project, entitled The Unseen Bestiary, which everyone should most certainly get involved in. The premise of the project is to draw/etch animals she...

Kingdom Of Style: She's Called SophiaVery, very dear friend of the Kingdom, James Lillis of Black Milk, has finally ventured out further into the big, bad world of fashion by creating a new line, which focuses less on legs and more on invidual seperates, including dresses and blazers. The new label, entitled Sophia James, isn't...

Kingdom Of Style: Happy HeadsYou all know how much we love hats and headpieces in the Kingdom. Whether it's showgirl style feathered affairs, birds perched atop our heads, crowns or beanies - no hat is deemed too bold for us to try. Any long term readers will have seen lots of weird and wonderful things adorn the heads...

Kingdom Of Style: Voodoo MagicApologies for the severe lack of posts today, and possibly tomorrow, but it's crazily busy in the Kingdom at the moment and finding the time to write is, well, impossible just now. So just a quickie for tonight. I received an email the other day from Samantha McEwen from Heriot Watt...

Kingdom Of Style: Process Of Print "Kingdom of Style has always championed Jaggy Nettle, featuring us months before we actually launched, a critical time for any new, promo hungry label. Its something we have always been really appreciative off. I had no idea what a blog was prior to meeting Michelle, but have come to learn...

Kingdom Of Style: Silky Squares Emily also started her email, "Hey Phil, I LOVE your blog Kingdom of Style...". Been called lots of things before, but never Phil. Turns out she's quite the little talent. She doesn't just creates scarves she also makes gorgeous cushions. Emily Graduated from Gray's School Of Art in...

Kingdom Of Style: Button It It's been said many times, but we are big fans of buttons in the Kingdom. Not only is the best thing ever having a collection of buttons to rummage through, but changing up buttons is perhaps the easiest way to customise and update coats and jackets. You can also sew various sizes and...

Kingdom Of Style: Get A HeadAs you might have gathered, here in the Kingdom headpieces are a favourite accessories. In my own collection, I have everything from cat ears to bridal tiaras, showgirl feathered headpieces to spiked hairbands, horns to pom poms. My head has seen plenty of headpiece action in its 39...

Kingdom Of Style: Tweed RunYou know how much we love a bit of Harris Tweed in the Kingdom, well today I give you the fabulous Harris Tweed accessory label Maccessori. Macessori was founded in 2011 and is the brainchild of designer Blair McNab, who just so happens to be the partner of my lovely work chum Jennifer, who...

Get the Chanel Look for Less With the $18 Charlotte Ronson Starry Eyes Liquid Eyeshadows The four lightweight liquid-to-powder Starry Eyes Liquid Eyeshadows, available now at Sephora stores and sephora.com, are priced at a much more palatable $18, and from here they look heavily inspired by Chanel. From their gorgeous glass tubes, to their dainty doe-foot applicators, all the...

Kingdom Of Style: Dotty For Spotty The way I've been enjoying styling them most is with one of my larger spotted blouses and topped with Topshop camouflage jacket, Jeffrey Campbell shoes, my neon and leopard Marketa x KoS clutch. A woolly hat ensures I'm also autumn ready. Funny though how, apart from Prince B, boys really...

Kingdom Of Style: My 70's HeartHey all, it's good to be back in the Kingdom. Now back to posting duties... Just before I left, the lovely Angie Johnson from Norwegian Wood emailed me with her latest collection for AW12. It's a modern take on the 70's and it's absolutely lush. We've been seeing geometric patterns all...

Kingdom Of Style: Authentic weather...It's no secret we're obesessed with the weather here in The Kingdom. Small wonder really, living as we do in a country where you can experience four seasons in one day. Right now though we can't seem to break away from Winter. Yesterday we had driving rain and heavy sleet. In May!!!! it's...
