Princess Letiza at World Cup Final

Well done Spain! I really wanted them to win, I know I'm English, but I have many ties to Spain so if it wasn't going to be us, then it was Spain to win for me and they did!!!!
The Spanish Royal Family looked like they were having a wonderful time, The Prince was Felepe de Bourbon and his beautiful extravagant wife Letizia were smiling from ear to ear. Letizia always looks so beautiful, she was jumping up and down with joy but yet still looked regal, from a distance you could see her big diamond studded earrings sparkling! Definitely a classy stylish cool woman!

Clealls Store - Clealls Mary Queen of Shops - Clealls Corfe

What will this week be like? Surely it can't be any worse than last weeks.

Tonight on Mary Queen of shops it's about a Dorsets Clealls Store.

Chris And Julliett own Clealls Store after falling in love with the village. They moved away from the rat race in London for a better life, but now loosing up to 6,000 pounds a month.

Moving to a small village is really hard and whilst the locals are saying they don't stock what they want..I know that small villages can be very insular and hard for any outsiders to come or fit in.

Wow 4000 different lines they stock and always order far too much stock. Mary walks Chris back in is home town where he knows all about it's history and Mary explains that he needs to learn this about Corfe.

Watching Julliet try and talk to the locals at the bowls was painful....she just couldn't do it...At the moment I just cannot see how they re going to fit in.

However, the tasting party was excellent, both of them really shone through. Then Mary starts talking to the man with the hat and the teeth that was in the pub and he ends up being a cake maker, who is now her best friend.

Chris started feeling better about himself and even Juliet looked happier.

It was time for opening the new shop but they were so behind...but where they finally got to know the locals, help was pouring in.

The grand opening and the shop look absolutely amazing.  Even they looked better in their white shirts and aprons.  The shop was packed....but youd expect that as everyone wants to be on TV.  The produce look amazing.

4 Weeks Later Mary Returned and they were still going.  I personally thought they looked far better in their shirts and aprons.  Chris, you are not a market trader anymore, you own a beautiful country shop!  Get that black fleece off!

Good luck to Chris & Juliette of Clealls Country Store

Do you know Clealls?

Have You seen clealls since it's Makeover?

Nicole Richie has unvailed her House of Harlow 1960 and Winter Kate autumn collection.

MY-WARDROBE.COM and Nicole held dinner at London's Soho House.

Her collection is inspired from the 1960's bohemian flower child glory days.

Her style is so relaxed, I love it what do you think?

Princess Diana’s “engagement dress” goes under the hammer

The black taffeta dress with the plunging neckline catapulted the 19-year-old Lady Diana Spencer on to the world stage when she wore it just weeks after becoming engaged to Prince Charles and accessorised it beautifully with a diamond necklace and diamond drop earrings.  It was her first official engagement to an event in aid of the Royal Opera House development appeal at Goldsmiths' Hall in the City of London in 1981.

But yesterday the beautiful black taffeta grown designed by Elizabeth and David Emanuel sold for £192,000 (almost four times the expected sale price of £50,000). Sadly it is leaving the UK as it was purchased by the Museo de la Moda fashion museum in Chile.

The gown was made for Lady Diana several weeks before her wedding but she lost so much weight that she returned the gown to the Emanuels to have it taken in, but the alterations required were so drastic that they decided it would be easier to just make a smaller one for her. They kept the original and forgot about it – re-discovering it quite recently. They sold it with an original copy of the invoice, fashion sketches and contemporary photographs of her wearing it.

 It was just one of 30 lots they put up for sale which also included original sketches of her wedding dress, an ivory paper taffeta bridal gown which was used by the princess for fittings, an ivory tulle petticoat worn by Diana to her wedding dress rehearsal in July 1981 and sketches of dresses worn for her tour of the Gulf in 1986. There was also a folder charting the princess's measurements between 1981 and 1987 when she was suffering from severe anorexia and bulimia and pregnant with her two sons.

Iman shines in her diamonds at the CFDA fashion awards

There was a lot of competition at this year’s Council of Fashion Designers of America star studded fashion awards which were held at the Lincoln Centre in New York on Monday, including Sex and the City’s Sarah Jessica Parker going head to head with a very classy looking Gwyneth Paltrow.

But for me the one who stood out among the rest was Somalian  supermodel Iman (now married to David Bowie) in a black fishtailed strapless Giambattista Valli gown, accessorised with some fabulous diamond drop earrings and a huge diamond bracelet.

Iman attended the awards with her rock star husband and received the Fashion Icon accolade from her friend actress Isabella Rossellini. During her acceptance speech Iman commented to Bowie: “Move over, you're not the only icon in the house.”

The CFDA is a non-profit trade association made up of more than 350 of America’s foremost clothing, jewellery and accessory designers. The annual awards recognise top creative talent in the industry.

Oh to be a friend of Cheryl Cole’s when she clears out her diamond jewellery

Ashley and Cheryl Cole were married for four years, and during that time the England footballer showered her with gifts. But the X Factor panelist and Girls Aloud singer has filed for divorce and obviously decided it’s “off with the old” by giving away a lot of the presents he lavished on her.

She has generously given necklaces, bracelets and earrings to friends and her mother Joan, with one of the most expensive items of jewellery being a heart-shaped diamond pendant.

Apparently Cheryl like a lot of the jewellery in the first place because it was too “blingy”, but she has still held on to her diamond wedding ring.

Alex Curran cleans the car “WAG style”

 Steven Gerrard has taken on the responsibility of the England captaincy in South Africa’s World Cup from the injured Rio Ferdinand, so it's been left down to his wife Alex Curran to keep their home going – but in typical WAG style.

The former glamour model posed for a series of pictures in which she “appeared to wash a car” with a bouffant hairdo, dressed in designer gear and peep toe platform Louboutins. She accessorised the outfit with some very chunky jewellery, chains, a showpiece Chanel bracelet with her diamond wedding ring and her very large diamond engagement ring.

The shoot was very tongue in cheek and was organised by car makers Hyundai who sponsor the World Cup. Ms Curran is fronting a competition with them where the winner will experience her lifestyle for a weekend. They will spend a weekend in a luxurious nine bedroom mansion with their own personal chef, butler, pamper packages, personal trainer and swimming pool – all very low key and in the best possible taste!

Maher Bakery Raynes Park - Mary queen of shops

Watching Mary Queen of shops but tonight, it's not about clothes its about Maher Bread and cake shop in Raynes Park.

The woman who owns the shop is horrible just horrible. Didn't want to listen, lied, just don't quite understand why she is on the programme.

They went to an award winning bakery called Hobbs where the owner a lovely young guy talked her through what they make and sell. Angela from maher was so rude again.


Finally she started to come around to Marys thoughts but still she continued to not quite get it.

I have never seen Mary so angry and upset. Paul the baker was fantastic I can't believe he is still working for this woman.

The designers were amazing at what they put together, the colours, the feeling the setting of the shop and it was lovely, yet all Angela could do was sit quite and finally say "yes"

Then Angela locked herself in the flat above and left her son to deal with Mary. Mary was talking to Paul as he shows Mary his new bread and then Angela walks in like a mad woman saying leave and no more filming.

Normally after these programmes you want to go and visit these places but im pretty sure that this is one place people won't rush too.

What did you think?


Well done Mary, cannot believe how calm you stayed through the programme.
