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.

Sculpted with folded panels, this number by Bottega Veneta this dress will make a stylish addition to your work wear wardrobe, the black grosgrain knot belt will add an elegantly defined silhouette, to take this look from day to night, I would style it with these gorgeous Christian Louboutin burgundy patent-leather pumps with a fashion shot of glamorous sparkle with their crystal-dipped heels, fabulously classic with a twist.

Dolce and Gabbanna shearling bag

To add a definite feel of decadence to this outfit I would style it with a decadent accessory like Dolce & Gabbana’s shearling and textured-leather tote, which as a Stylist I can guaranteek it’s the hottest way to make a statement this season.

Roksander Ilincic

 

This is one of my favourite dresses,  Roksanda Ilincic always designs dresses that look absolutely stunning on, in a palette of off-white, navy and orange, this is a definite fashion lover’s choice. Styled with this gorgeous elegant and refined, Marc Jacobs navy leather tote, this softly structured style adds sophisticated look for work and after work drinks.

Marc by marc jacobsAlexander birman

 

These classic python pumps by Alexandre Birman are the perfect anchor for this statement look.

Antonio Beradi

 

With structured shoulders and a nipped in waist Antonio Berardi’s stretch-wool is perfect for creating a sexy hourglass silhouette, and it makes an effortless work-to-cocktails transition

Pierre hardy

Add a stunning pair of Pierre Hardy’s burgundy patent-leather which offset the gray dress  with their rich hue, this is a truly elegant day-to night look.

Marni’s black leather tote is the epitome of pared perfection. Carry it from day to night with this sleek dress and pumps for an elegant uptown look

Prabal Gurung New York Fashion Week SS2012

by Gabrielle on September 11, 2011

 

Prabal Gurung Spring Summer 2012

I have loved Prabal Gurung for several seasons now. I bought a stunning black and white silk dress for one of my clients at Gabrielle Teare Personal Stylist. She is married to one of the Arsenal football team. We both loved it.

 This is an amazing stop the traffic dress.

 

I love this so feminine, floaty perfect for a summer evening.

 

Sarah Jessica Parker in Prabal Gurung

As the Leading London Personal Stylist I think Sarah Jessica Parker is often OTT style wise, however this dress from Prabal Gurung rocks.

 Zoe Saldana Prabul Gurung

Zoe looks great in this and check out the shoes great!

 

Kate Middleton’s Style : Hit or Miss?

by Gabrielle on August 16, 2011

As The Leading London Personal Shopper  I frequently comment in the press on Celebrity Style. Kate Middleton does not feel she needs a stylist so what is the verdict on Kate Middleton’s style chic or cheap?

 

 Kate Middleton  Dress

This dress is frankly cheap. It is being worn to a major black tie event and is inappropriate for the then fiance of the future King of England. it would work for a secretary at a Company do.   The embellishment is too heavy, the jacket is too big and overall does not work.

Kate Middleton Street Fashion

Kate Middleton Fashion

 This is another dreadful outfit. The grey comfy cardi, baggy enough to cover a stomach and hips of a heavier woman looks old fashioned and makes her look much older than her years. This is a beautiful woman in the prime of life.

  

Kate Middleton Zara dress

This is yet another cheap and frankly nasty outfit. This dress from Zara does not fit, flatter and the A line shape and wide sleeves serve to make her look fatter and older than she is. No stylist would choose this for someone in the public eye. Kate Middleton is representing the UK and needs to seriously up her game. Using a Personal Shopper or Personal Stylist is a must for anyone regularly photographed.  

 

Kate Middleton Suit

Kate Middleton Hobbs Suit

 

This is Kate Middleton in a high street Hobbs suit. Hobbs has a much older target consumer group i.e. 35-55 Kate is 27. Thus the effect is dull, makes her look older and has zero wow factor or sex appeal.

 
Pippa Middleton Dress

Pippa Middleton Dress

This honestly is the dreary sisters. Bear in mind that both are mid to late twenties. These print “safe” dresses are more appropriate for women 30 years older. Pippa Middleton can and should look amazing.  

There are great clothes to be had on the high street but she needs to up her spend a bit and choose clothes that are classic with a twist. Kate Middleton’s’ style is naturally classic but she can and should do better. Hire a stylist buy less spend a bit more look chic. This is how she does style well.

Duchess-of-Cambridge-Style

Duchess of Cambridge jenny Packham

Duchess of Cambridge Jenny Packham Dress

This is a stunning dress, she looks every inch the future wife of the King of England.

Duchess-of windsor-burberry

Kate-Middleton-Burberry-Prorsum

 

This outfit looks young, chic and elegant. The first wow casual outfit shown that will and did wow the press.

Kate-Middleton-Dress

Kate-Middleton-Alexander-McQueen-Dress

 

This is another great dress, clearly not from the high street and clearly fashion forward.

Pippa Middleton Dress

by Gabrielle on June 17, 2011

As the Leading London Personal Shopper I am always on the lookout for amazing fashion for my clients. I loved Pippa Middletons’s Dress. My view is that it was the most stylish outfit at the Royal Wedding eclipsing Kate’s seen before Grace Kelly dress by miles. Kate had an opportunity to set the world on fire instead she chose a safe dull copy. Take a look at Alexander McQueens last collection and you will see so many stunning wedding dresses by Sarah Burton.

I am always in the shops on the lookout for great new styles for my clients. Check out this dress on ASOS it has a cowl neck front deeply flattering and a gold zip running from top to bottom. This is a stunning dress based on the lines of Pippa’s superb style it is simply gorgeous and at £45 looks like it costs £400+. Ignore the beige this has to be black black black!! Infinitely nicer from the front than this photo shows. I love this great for work or parties.

Summer Fashion :What to Wear Now

by Gabrielle on June 10, 2011

Alice and Olivia

 

There are so many gorgeous clothes in the shops right now it is hard to choose my favourites.

As The Leading London Personal Shopper I have so many different clients with
differing shapes. Here I am going to share some style tips with you. Alice and
Olivia are fast becoming one of my favourite designers and it is not hard to
see why with this stunning dress. Great colour and fantastically flattering too.
It will flatter anyone with a tummy and will
look amazing on tall ladies and it reasonably priced.

Vanessa Bruno

 

From Vanessa Bruno a lovely terracotta silk blouse
that will look fabulous with navy, white or black.

Acne

 

Combine with this sensational Acne mini skirt with
leather panels. This is a skirt that you will love and wear over and over. It is
cut high at the front to accentuate length of legs.

Emilio Pucci

Maxis are on trend. However a word of warning,
short ladies look shorter and fatter don’t go there! There are many plump women
breathing a sigh of relief that the ultimate cover up is here. However the maxi
can look more Aintree that St Tropez so choose well and choose colour. Pucci
show you how to get it right here.

Issa

 

Famous before the Middleton sisters visited the
brand here is a sensational dress in coral form Issa ,it is far brighter in
reality than here.

Pippa Middleton and James Middleton

Famous before the Middleton sisters visited the
brand here is a sensational dress in coral from Issa ,it is far brighter in
reality than here.  Here are Pippa
Middleton and brother James at the Issa show hard to see what the fuss is about
really. All eyes were on Olivia Palermo!
