I must say that I giggled while reading the annotations on the new crest: pairing a translation of the Order of the Garter motto with "two white chevrons, to symbolize the family's love of skiing" just strikes me as humorous. All jokes aside, bully for them. I'm American, but I'm honest enough to admit that I would like a Coat of Arms myself! And I'm so lacking in pedigree that I wouldn't even be able to truthfully incorporate white chevrons.
I'm partial to the Reiss collection. It may be very similar to their past collections, but I haven't been following them long enough to notice. I never would have paired the black and red plaid coat with rose pants, but the color combination doesn't bother me; in fact, I think it looks fresh!

Oh, dear. I hope your computer problems are soon resolved. I'm posting this in the realization it may not show up anywhere, but nothing ventured ....
I'm not utterly excited by the Reiss collection this autumn. Perhaps I've been looking at Reiss too long, because the pieces look like the same-old same-old to me. I did buy a coat last year, and to my interest, it fits right into this year's trends, so I suppose Reiss's designers were prescient. However, this year's coats do nothing for me.
That pink and black Whistles dress is interesting, and I like the pinstriped menswear coat, too, though I tend to eschew pinstripes. The Morgana midi dress is lovely -- clean and streamlined, just my style. It's a Duchess possibility for certain, if she starts dropping her hemlines. I've done it myself with a few purchases, as lower hemlines have become fashionable over the past year, though you have to be careful. Anything longer than just below the knee can look dowdy and hit the calf at the most unflattering point. The Duchess, with her long waist and short legs, would want to be especially careful about proportions.

Hi, Susan, I am so happy to have found a look-alike for the Temperley Odele Sheepskin Coat. This Michael Kors coat, while not sheepskin, is very similar. It is currently on sale at Macy's in all sizes for about $210. Here is the link for those who are interested:
