Beauty tips for your wedding day

Be beautiful by spritzing with Institut Esthederm   Cellular Water Energising Spray. This will awaken the senses,revitalise skin for radiance. It will also usefully set your make-up to stop it slipping off as the day wears on.

If you are applying your own make-up Japonesque have a lovely range of make-up brushes at Boots.Com. This blusher brush has a lovely long handle making it very easy to apply without overcaking your face, available exclusively at John Lewis.

Exclusive to Harrods from January is an amazing new cream from Clinique. This is multitasking cream with antioxidants, UVA , UVB sunscreens to protect you from sunburn during the photos in the mid day sun. It contains optics to hide imperfections and make wrinkles and fine lines look visibly reduced. It also has shine control and will help balance your skin. This is a huge favourite already in Asia and now available here. My skin loved it and I will use on my wedding day this summer.

 

From Susan Posnick comes a double sided lip gloss the Colorforever  with deep colour at one end and an added lip plumping agent at the other. This will provide colour that will last all day for you.

 

To ensure you get a good nights sleep the night before try this. I have been using this and it does work! There is a lovely lavender satin eye mask and a cream with lavender  and rose essential oils that smell fantastic and lull you off to sleep……..

Indulge your senses on the day with Champneys Thai Spa range smells amazing and will make you feel like the star you are.

I wish you every joy on your wedding day………..

Fabulous Florals Spring Summer 2012 Trend Alert

by Gabrielle on January 30, 2012

Florals have been a firm staple trend (so you’ve probably got plenty in your wardrobe) for the past few years and SS12 saw them receive yet another chic update. These aren’t the standard floral prints you’re used to seeing. This seasons florals have a real depth and artistry to them and the great thing is there is something to suit everyone. Opt for full on vintage romance like Valentino and Alberta Ferretti with dusty pinks, sheer panels and intricate embroidery.

Some florals  take a thoroughly modern approach with pop-art perennials (like Christopher Kane and Rodarte) and bold graphic prints (like Alexander Wang, Matthew Williamson and Mary Katrantzou).

Tips for wearing SS12 Florals: – Try to choose the vintage inspired  or graphic printed florals. – For one on-trend look try clashing florals with an aquatic print or stripes. – For another, try floral prints in soft pastel colours. Here’s a small edition of Florals currently available:

 

With London Fashion Week just around the corner – Will Autumn/Winter provide yet another incarnation of this mega-trend?

Wedding Style- Designer Wedding Dresses

by Gabrielle on January 27, 2012

I have been busy buying beautiful designer wedding dresses for my Clients and myself. As a Personal Shopper I love this time of year looking for the most fabulous dresses I can find. Caroline Castigliano has this new in for Spring Summer 2012. What I saw over and over was brides wearing the wrong colour dress this really matters it will drain you on the day. Call me I will help you to find the perfect dress. In one shop all 4 brides were wearing the wrong colour.  www.gabrielleteare.com

I have always loved David Fielden dresses so I recently bought two. One for me and one for my client. His dresses are always beautiful, always very stylish and he has a range with very many styles, something for everyone. He also does white. I am naturally a brunette so all the creams wash me out. I need white. Staff are super friendly as well.

Le-Spose-di-Gio has lovely very chic, modern styles. if you dont want to wear a dress this suit rocks stylish and sexy too. I love it. This shop has soft pinks and blues as well check out the Ebury Street store.

David Fielden, Sassi Holford and Phillipa Lepley are all within walking distance of each other so check out all three. Sassi Holford makes couture dresses that are relatively inexpensive and many are innovative designs. Staff are friendly, helpful and you can change things to get the dress you want.

Phillipa Lepley had quite uninteresting dresses nothing that the other shops did not have and they were much more expensive. The same dress being 2-4K more expensive. The web site also does not work all the pictures appear in minature.

 

Vera Wang are gorgeous dresses bt very pricey. I have been to Browns bridal three times not an experience ofr the faint hearted. You come in, they immediately ask your budget and as most brides have no idea at first this rapidly leads to them refusing to show any dresses. Staff are cold, snooty if you want a Vera Wang dress Harrods treat you like the star you are…………

Jane Taylor Millinery has lovely headpieces for both the bride and the guests. I also loved the black and silver art deco head piece lovely for a guest below.

Also the bride needs fabulous jewellery.

Nota Bene is a newly opened boutique jewellery site which has lovely delicate, elegant designs. Owner Nikki Blowers showed me all her collection I loved them.

 

Danielfootwear.co.uk also has lovely shoes available up to size 7.

Manolo Blahniks Shoes To fall in love in

by Gabrielle on January 15, 2012

I Love Manolo Blahnik shoes. As a personal shopper  I walk too far too often to wear 4.5″ heels. They are elegant, beautiful and very stylish and I can wear them without my feet hurting. Why wear othopedic boots if you dont need to?

Maybe it is because the shop is within walking distance so I window shop a lot. But judging by the queues outside this week I am not alone.

I am in love……….

These are so dramatic and stylish how to make a little black dress rock………

I was shopping in Harrods yesterday with a client and then looked for shoes for Niloufer and Ilke who are both getting married. I saw so many women staggering around in too high ugly shoes not a good look ladies.

I used to love Christian Louboutin shoes I discovered the shop in Paris many years ago before he became famous over here. But I now think his shoes are outrageously high and far too expensive many yesterday were £1000 pair. Mad. Now I love Manolos try some your feet will love you for it.

Siren Song : Spring Summer 2012 Trends

by Hayley Bevan on January 10, 2012

Givenchy SS2012

The  theme of water appears to have been the canvas for the spring-summer 2012 parades. The mythical siren sang beguilingly to designers to lure them into creating homage to herself and the aquamarine and cerulean sea realm. The models came  wrapped in clothes in the colors of the seabed, rebrodées and shimmering scales at Givenchy  with its wetsuit-like feel to the collection.

Chanel SS2102

Also ribbons in the shape of waves adorning the nymphs here at Chanel we felt the definite undercurrent of a  Botticelli  sea Goddess with iridescent mother of pearl, and strings of pearls encircling waists.

Chanel SS2012

Even the catwalk was adorned with waves and sea pebbles to create a marine feel.

versace SS2012

Prints which echoed ancient pottery and the myth of Poseidon at Versace.

versace SS2012

At Versace, materials, light as sea foam floated in a harmonious aquatic carousel, and seemed to blend, as in nature with their lines and hues the with the horizon of the sea and sky.

Alexander McQueen SS2012

The underwater magic did not stop there at Mcqueen we saw the emergence of another sea goddess, the oceanic life of Gaia was as fresh sea spray on the outfits composed of corals and shells.

All in all the shows were a fabulous dive into the deep blue for the Stylists at Gabrielle Teare who can’t wait to be adding a splash bringing next season’s biggest trend into our clients wardrobes.

Molton Brown Gift Set

I love Molton Brown, it is a real treat. Gorgeous smelling, lovely colours and beautiful packaging. The shop on the Kings Road is bustling with people buying lovely Christmas Presents. Sure to be a winner is this great gift set.

Champneys Gift set

 

I have been promising myself a trip to a Champneys Spa in the New Year but just as nice is a spa at home all your friends will love this very pretty luxurious set.

Rhodes to Heaven

From Rhodes to Heaven is a range of natural products with ingredients such as Juniper berries, Anise extract, beeswax and wild sea fennell. There are gorgeous gift sets or try this lovely cleanser. A great present for your friends.

I like the idea of a collagen  stimulating eye cream and am sure your friends will as well. This range is developed by leading cosmetic doctor Darren Mckeown and the products are all used by patients as his skin clinics.

This cream proveds mositure and advanced antioxidant protection to ensure skin is well protected from free radicals. I always use factor 15 or higher in facial creams so the factor 15 is a welcome addition. Creamy, it softens skin without greasiness for a beautiful face on Christmas morning.

Stella McCartney Ready To Wear?

December 15, 2011

Tweet   When I first saw Stella McCartney Spring Summer 2012 I was intrigued by it’s casual, laid back and original approach. Although I’m usually a fan of Stella’s collections, I didn’t immediately take to the muted geometric prints edged with swirling baroque lace and embroidery– I had doubts about how wearable the collection was [...]
