Staying with a Royal theme, Sylvia Syms, looked lovely in a soft beige Coterie outfit with a matching hat when she received her OBE from the Queen at Buckingham Palace (see pictures right).

I attended the prestigious Drapers Awards for the Fashion Industry at the Grosvenor House Hotel wearing my gold backless beaded evening dress, and keeping on a glamorous track, TV presenter Myleene Klass was featured in Now magazine wearing a chartreuse satin evening gown and faux fur stole from the Frank Usher collection.

In December Frank Usher held a fashion show at the Grand Hotel in Eastbourne, where a hundred ladies enjoyed a Festive luncheon, followed by the Show.(click here for fashion show shots, by kind permission of Posh and Decks of Eastbourne)
December also launched the first Fashion Tea at the Grosvenor House Hotel, on Park Lane, where diners enjoyed a champagne tea, followed by a preview of the Frank Usher Group Summer Collections.

Forthcoming events are Fashion show lunches at Cliveden, 26 March and 28 October and Ashdown Park on 21st April. The Frank Usher Group and their celebrity guests will be supporting the Brain Tumour Research Campaign at the Amber Ball, on 14th March at Banqueting House in Whitehall.
For further details please contact the venues directly.

My congratulations go to lovely Channel 5 presenter Lara Lewington on her engagement to Martin Lewis, the TV money saving Expert.

Well, dear reader, have a healthy and happy New Year with love from Frankie.
