Kate Middleton Holiday Wardrobe!

Like most of the British (and infact global!) population right now we have been taking some serious style notes from Miss Middleton. Especially, as recently she has been off on her travels for the Jubilee Tour. Ladies, take note of her travel wardrobe staples as Kate is ticking everybox! Here are our favourite outfits from the past week, from Kuala Lumpar in Temperly to channeling Jackie O with that cute pillbox hat in Johnathon Saunders turquoise. We love how Kate has branched out into brights working traditional island florals and that gorgeous yellow number! 

Top Celeb Spots

We're loving the recent spate of celebs wearing Melissa Odabash swimwear whilst hitting the beach the past few weeks.

Odabash devotee Tamara Ecclestone chose two of her favourite triangle string bikini's for a recent holiday & her charity bikini shoot - the gunmetal Maine is perfect on her skin tone & looks great with her glossy dark locks - some girls make beach-side glamour look so effortless! Take a look at our high summer Maine in bold blue here - it works equally well on blondes & brunettes (& we hear Tamara snapped one of these up on her recent visit to the Odabash boutique in Chelsea).

We also love her in this skimpy apricot Denver bikini, perfect for showing off a tan - the jungle green option available on our website here looks especially great on you blondies!

And last....but by no means least, who popped up in Hawaii wearing our bestselling 'Elle cowboy hat. And just how great does she look!? granted, it isn't an Odabash bikini, but we still think it is pretty cool. There aren't many girls that get away with such a strong red lip at the beach either, but Rihanna is a lesson to us all in how to look super-cool on holiday this year. Buy the hat here

Melissa Models Odabash & Macdonald for Hello!

Check out Melissa getting back to her modelling roots here in Hello! magazine this month - she & good friend and collaborator Julien Macdonald gave an exclusive interview about their friendship, how they work together & of course, a few juicy bits of gossip you won't hear anywhere else! Melissa was then photographed in a succession of pieces from the O&M collection. All set in the luxurious surroundings of The Sanctuary, Covent Garden's glamorous day-spa...though there was unfortunately no time for a quick treatment as it was all work work work!

Also seen wearing Odabash&Macdonald in this week's Grazia magazine was none other than the lovely Whitney Port - putting her fashion experience gained at Diane von Furstenburg, Peoples Revolution & Teen Vogue to good use by becoming a new judge on Britain & Ireland's Next Top Model alongside Julien - lending a touch of old-school glamour to the 'Coleen' luxe kaftan.

The Rock Ball 2012

Last week saw the third annual Rock Ball held at The uber-exclusive Hurlingham Club in Chelsea. Hosted by Rick Parfitt Jnr, & in aid of The RPJ Crohns Foundation, the Rock Ball brings together rock royalty & superstar fashion to raise awareness & funds for the Crohns & Colitis UK charity.

And who better to curate the super-glamorous catwalk looks than Melissa Odabash? Showcasing her favourite pieces from the 2012 collection, as well as a selection of the exclusive Odabash&Macdonald cruise line, the fashion show was, as per every year, a massive hit - and with performances from The Feeling & Radio 1's Comedy Dave the night was a huge success, raising a staggering amount for the RPJ Foundation.

Here are some exclusive shots of 'behind the scenes'...

Oh Elle...

Just a quick post to show off this exclusive behind-the scenes of Britain's Next Top Model picture - we can't get over how sizzling Ms. Macpherson looks in our show-stopping 'Veruschka' knit dress from the 2012 Odabash&Macdonald cruise collection. Elle, quite frankly - we are not worthy!

Jessica Lowndes talks snogging in London wearing Odabash!

After celebrating her place as 79th sexiest woman, Jessica Lowndes takes a break from her party filled London social scene to shoot for FHM and be interviewed by Stuart Hood. Jess was looking radiant in the classic 2 piece St Barts snake print bikini from Melissa Odabash's high summer collection, exclusively available at net-a-porter.com
Jess had a lot to say about being single in London and being bombarded with chat up lines, but after this photo-shoot is released it would be hard to believe the numbers won’t multiply!

No Carbs Before Marbs!

Well well well, someone has clearly been taking style notes from our previous blog posts, as here is none other than The Only Way Is Essex's resident style icon Lydia Bright wearing none other than a Melissa Odabash bandeau - Ecuador in a muchos-tan enhancing shade of jade green.

The lovely Essex girl popped into our showroom earlier this week to pick out some last minute pieces before jetting off to Marbella (where everyone who is anyone appears to be at the moment, Melissa herself and her army of models, assistants, photographers and make up artists are currently out there shooting our 2012 lookbook too, keep any eye out for the new collection dropping soon - it is incredible!) to film a summer special of the hit (understatement!) iTV2 show. Clearly the 'No Carbs before Marbs' mantra the TOWIE gang were living by has paid off too - Lydia looked amazing while taking a dip in the sea to cool off.

Also on the trip was Lola member and recent Odabash devotee Jessica Wright, who hasn't been snapped wearing our pieces just yet, but will be any minute now.
