Look how far Duffy's come in a year!

Duffy was seldom known this time last year but what a difference 52 weeks can make. Her meteoric rise to fame is of no surprise to us, but we hadn't banked on her making such a big bang in the States - and wow what an effect she's had!

Here's our favourite Welsh lass hanging out with her new pal Rihanna at Barney's department store in New York. The two went shoe shopping together (!) proving that their friendship is make of solid stuff. Why?  Well how many A-listers do you ever see shopping together? No one wants to share their style secrets or fight over the last pair of Louboutins!
