How exciting!? The search for the next Miss Great Britain is in full swing as glamorous heats take place up and down the country and a bevvy of beautiful girls compete to get to the much coveted finals in November! Now here at Designer Desirables we are serious lovers at of all things glamorous, feminine and fabulous in fashion so Miss Great Britain sounds like something we would LOVE. We were also most excited when the CEO of the company, Paula was asked to be on the judging panel this Saturday for the Miss Newcastle heat. *Squeals* As a former beauty queen and model Paula knows exactly what it takes to get that crown!

Miss Dundee City

The other exciting news is that there is still time to enter and win (think big ladies) the ultimate and prestigious title of Miss GB so what are you waiting for? Do you have what it takes to represent this fair isle with your beauty, intelligence, elegance and sparkling personality? Or perhaps you know someone a friend, sister, daughter, niece or next door neighbour who has that pageant potential?! Remember too that the age range has been raised from 18 up to 29, single mums can now enter as can divorced ladies.

Miss Manchester

Here at DD we have had the pleasure of the current Miss Great Britain, Sophie Gradon modeling for us and although the year has been an exciting, travel filled whirlwhind for Sophie she will be handing on her crown soon…….. perhaps to you!! So let the search for the most beautiful girl, inside and out, begin!! Keep posted for our blog from the Miss Newcastle final this Saturday!

It’s that time of year again in the North East when the Northumberland Plate Festival is upon us. And aside from a sudden (male) preoccupation with horses and the flurry of bets, there is some fabulous hats and attention seeking fashion to contend with too.
Designer Desirables spotted many an outfit from our collection of luxurious events dresses at Northumberland Plate day on its most fashionable day of the year, Ladies Day. It was all about bright and bold colours, beautiful textures and we saw a move towards more substantial hats as opposed to the fascinator -see all the best dressed race-goers in our hottest styles from the day.
