Burberry launches Burberry Body, the brand new fragrance for women today. Seductive, sensual, elegant, timeless, iconic, memorable, Burberry Body is the Burberry world translated into a scent:

"We have been working on this for a few years now. Burberry Body for us is so much more than a fragrance; it is one of the biggest launches we have ever done, one that captures all the modernity and heritage of this British brand today, reflecting all the facets that make up the Burberry world." - Christopher Bailey, Burberry Chief Creative Officer

Burberry Body is a feminine and effortlessly sensual fragrance with an eclectic combination of refined ingredients: top notes of fresh green absinthe, illuminating elegant peach and refined freesia; the floral bouquet of natural rose absolute and iris blends gently with subtle warm tones of sandalwood to form the heart notes, while the base is composed of woody cashmeran, creamy vanilla, sensual amber and musk. "The fragrance is very British and is the most sensual and feminine fragrance we have ever worked on. It’s sophisticated, it’s modern and it’s delicate. We wanted it to be light and feminine but also distinctive - something that appeals to women regardless of their age, it's more of an attitude." - Christopher Bailey, Burberry Chief Creative Officer

The scent comes in a multi-faceted, iconic glass bottle with rose gold engraved check: "I often describe Burberry as a multi-faceted diamond and so it seemed completely natural that a fragrance that represents all of the different moods, attitudes and expressions of the brand is packaged in a jewel-like shape. The colours reflect the sensual and emotive nature of the scent. I wanted the bottle to be desirable as an object, not only because of the scent. I am always inspired by architecture and I wanted to translate the sensuality of the fragrance using these gentle rose gold and nude filters into something iconic and distinctive." - Christopher Bailey, Burberry Chief Creative Officer

The ad campaign is fronted by British actress and model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley who wears only a rose gold satin trench coat and the scent. The campaign was shot in London by photographer Mario Testino under the creative direction of Christopher Bailey: "We worked with Mario Testino on a beautiful multi-faceted and sensual campaign, expressing the different attitudes of the Burberry Body. The trench coat embodies the iconic qualities of the fragrance as well as the spirit and attitude of the Burberry girl.

"Rosie is this beautiful, sensual English rose and perfectly captures the spirit of Burberry. She has this perfect balance of sensuality and confidence with humility. Burberry is part of her history and it felt perfectly natural for her to be our first Burberry Body." - Christopher Bailey, Burberry Chief Creative Officer

Kate Middleton's Affordable Style

Kate Middleton may officially be royalty, but the Duchess of Cambridge loves high street style like anyone else. From Zara to Reiss, check out Kate's affordable style.

 

I looove this stunning shimmery blush Jenny Packham gown beades with Swarovski crystals dress, Kate Middleton wowed at the ARK 10th Anniversary Gala dinner. 

The Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton, attends the wedding of amateur jockey Sam Waley-Cohen and Annabel Ballin with her sister Pippa Middleton. The wedding was held at the St. Michael and All Angels Church in London.

Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall (L) and Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge watch the Garter Service pass by on June 13, 2011 in Windsor, England. The Order of the Garter is the senior and oldest British Order of Chivalry, founded by Edward III in 1348. Membership in the order is limited to the sovereign, the Prince of Wales, and no more than twenty-four members.

For a day at the races, the new Duchess of Cambridge showed off her mastery of spring's white hot trend in the floaty Peacock Dress by high street brand Reiss. She paired it with Joseph's Nellie Tweed Jacket and L.K. Bennett's Sledge2 Court Shoe. The dress retails for $375 and the shoes for $280. The jacket is pricier at around $750.

Buy them at Reissonline.com, LKBennett.com and Selfridges.com.

For her first meeting with first lady Michelle Obama, Kate put her best foot forward in Reiss' tan Shola dress. The $340 sheath with a square neckline and origami pleated waist has been reissued in the same camel color Kate chose, due to high demand.

Buy it at Reissonline.com.

Kate Middleton made it perfectly clear that her affordable style wasn't going to end the minute she became a royal by wearing this navy dress to her official engagement announcement. The draped jersey from by Issa costs a reasonable $535.

Forget stylists, Kate dug into her own closet for her official engagement photos and produced this Reiss Nanette dress for the occasion. The ruffle-embellished frock was recently reissued for $310.

For a Christmas event with her Prince, Kate upped her style ante with a black-and-white dress by Temperley. The frock, which featured macrame detailing and a trim waist, was from the fall 2009 collection and showcased the brand's signature bohemian look.

For an affordable take on Kate's out, try Alice by Temperley, the brand's lower-priced, but equally stylish younger sister. Shop at AlicebyTemperley.com.

Kate wore Alexander McQueen finery for her wedding, but the day after she was back to her high street ways. She wore a blue pleated dress by Zara, paired with her fave L.K. Bennett patent wedges and a cropped jacket.

Buy Kate's shoes at LKBennett.com.

The day before getting married, Kate stayed casual and comfortable in a bird-printed dress by Issa and her fave L.K. Bennett wedges. A white cardigan topped off her look.

Shop Issa at Net-A-Porter.com and buy Kate's shoes at LKBennett.com.

Kate turned heads in this trim vintage-inspired suit. The daring red ensemble was made of wool and crafted by Italian designer Luisa Spagnoli. The look isn't as affordable as her regular looks, but for an outfit this versatile, $820 for the skirt and jacket is relatively reasonable.
