<p>We love her dreamy kimonos and short reversible jackets &#8211; casual as a summer fling over vest and shorts. They’re one-off wonders made from recycled vintage sari fabrics, little pieces of history. Want to know where your clothes come from? Then check out Lalita’s website and <a href="https://lalitaswardrobe.com/pages/ethos">meet the actual tailors</a>. Like she says, the company is ‘a very small jolly team with an ethos of creativity, loyalty and friendship at the heart’. How lovely is that?!&nbsp;</p>

<p>As if TOWIE&#8217;s not exciting enough, Kristen Stewart&#8217;s been filming on the beach at Hunstanton. As Princess Diana in the upcoming <em>Spencer</em>, she commented Diana has &#8220;very architectural hair, so we&#8217;re going to build it&#8230;I don&#8217;t think I can do it solely with my own hair&#8221;. Jeepers! Gonna take some serious wig glue to deal with that Norfolk March wind!  </p>



<p>And Academy-Award winning actor, writer, campaigner and all round brilliant woman Emma Thompson has been in Norwich with <em>Peaky Blinders</em>&#8216;&nbsp;Daryl McCormack. No, don&#8217;t be ridiculous! She&#8217;s happily married to the irritatingly handsome Greg Wise! She was here to film <em>Good Luck To You, Leo Grande</em> about a wife in a humdrum marriage who hires a sex worker&#8230;topical for some? Just saying&#8217;&#8230;</p>



<p>But hang on, that pic&#8217;s not Emma Thompson! That&#8217;s our supreme leader Bojo! Or is it? Actually, it&#8217;s the lovely Sir Kenneth Branagh, hair fluffed up like a confused chick, in character as the PM. Seen filming in Heydon and Aylsham&#8230;I must say, the likeness is Un-Kenny. Badum-tish!</p>
