Hello Style readers and welcome to the March edition of the magazine. There is always an exhilarating feeling of hope in the air when the first signs of a new season begin to show themselves and it certainly is a relief after such a cold winter.

I'm excited about wearing pieces from my spring wardrobe for the first time. This month we have featured our favourites from Victoria Beckham's dress collection. I think just one of her creations would make a worthwhile investment for any stylish woman's wardrobe. She has softened elements of power dressing with a flirtatious colour palette and classic shapes have been given modern design twists to create a young yet elegant silhouette. They are the kind of wardrobe additions that you will be able to depend for stepping out to an event or going to an important meeting, for years to come.

There are so many new trends to look forward to adopting and the season's colours in nudes, greys and flesh tones will create a dreamy look. We have five Style pages of the hottest spring trends to inspire you and they may point you in the right direction for the special outfit for all those summer events, which are just around the corner.

This month our what's on diary has been increased to two pages to include even more exciting events in the area. And if you're out and about networking at the top social events, whether it's the launch of a business or a big charity do, you may soon find yourself being photographed for our Scene@ pages. Turn to page 42 to see who's been out and about in Herts recently.

Antiques guru John Bly talks about what he has being buying and with Easter approaching we reveal how to spoil yourself in Bournemouth. Also, don't miss a chance to win an overnight stay for two at London's luxurious Cavendish Hotel.
