My 18 year old daughter is most impressed!

She thinks Lara is "so pretty" and loves the dress

No offence but I am not really keen on the dress itself. However must say Mrs Lewis manages to make it look stunning!! Fair play also to grabbing a bargain..hubbys taught her well...


It's just a ride and we can change it anytime we want.

I don't think there is much that Martin can teach Lara about finding a bargain when it comes to clothes shopping

If you don't mind me asking, it's the shoes I love, would you mind giving details? I doubt Mrs MSE and I will ever cross paths, agreed it is a stylish picture, looks like Klein blue to me always my favourite version of blue but a difficult colour to co-ordinate.

Perhaps Martin you should inform your agent that his website has 'cloaked' spam links in its footer.

bargain surely and stylish too - it's still £60 @ HoF

Yes, it's a beautiful dress and one of the nicer ones there.

It's always more flattering to be wearing a cheap, but unique and classy, dress, and have people ask where it's from, than "Wow, I love your Dior dress" (which everyone knows is a vulgar price).

There's something so satisfying about grabbing a bargain... and then looking great in it.

I think she looks lovely, but then she is a pretty girl!!
Also it's not price, it's style & taste & that's a nice dress, someone could spend 100 times more, but have absolutely no style!
There's never any point spending too much, especially if you are in the public eye as the papers love to slate people that have the "nerve" to wear the same thing twice haha


Away having a life normal monotony will be resumed shortly
