Away from the world of jodhpurs and breeches, which designers does the rather glam 29-year-old, who is known to enjoy a cocktail at the odd soirée , admire? "Roberto Cavalli and Marchesa. One of my favourites is a lovely, empire-line, strapless, purple dress by Marchesa. I also wore a lot of Ashley Isham when he was starting out. One year [2002], for Ascot, I wore one of his grey jackets and shift dresses."
This young royal's focus is very much on her sport and winning a place on Team GB. "Taking part in any Olympics is special, but to do it at home really would be a dream come true."
"I tried and tested everything. With design, the products were already there - I just tweaked a few things, like put in a longer cut for the riding jackets,
ghd, so it won't expose the back if you're riding in the elements," she explains. "It's less to do with mainstream fashion and more about practicality and engineering something that works in training, but which you wouldn't be embarrassed to be seen in, in public."
Zara Phillips models designs from her collection, "ZP 176", for Musto
Watch out Stella McCartney! There's a young upstart thundering through the strata of stylish, functional sportswear design: Zara Phillips.

When I inquire about her foolproof beauty tip, she regards me bemusedly, before telling me she "has no routine,
discount asics shoes, I'm very wash-and-go",
onitsuka tiger, although as an afterthought she mentions she likes "Bobbi Brown's shimmer palettes as it gives me a healthy glow."
"Oh god, don't call me a fashion designer!" she laughs, as she talks through her first-ever fashion collection for specialist sports brand, Musto. Despite her modesty (we like), the royal equestrian is well-placed to boast when it comes to designing for the arena - she is the current Eventing World Champion, no less.

So, what does she think about McCartney's recent appointment to revamp the kits of Team GB for the 2012 London Olympics, in which she may be competing? "Hooray,

Will there be a resurrection of the party-going, tongue-studded "royal rebel",

Two years in the making, the cryptically-named "ZP 176" collection (a combo of her initials and British Eventing number) consists of fleece-lined waterproof and windproof jackets, padded gilets and super-soft fleeces designed with the latest technology - think classy, functional pieces along the lines of McCartney's long-term sportswear collaboration with adidas.

Today I am leaving for a two week vacation to Europe. My long lost college roommate and I are going to be hitting up Spain and Italy and in Italy Vlad will be meeting up with us for a Gondola ride or two! I am super excited for this vacation and this time will actually be vacationing. We are lucky enough to have someone who will write posts for me while I am gone, Nerdphanie! You all remember her as a guest blogger! Now she is signed on as a two week blogger to fill my spot. She will bring you lots of new bags and goodies to look at. I will be posting sporadically, but not my usual four or five posts a day
