Givenchy Handbag
Every season there is the perfect designer handbag. Here are some of my favourite from Autumn Winter 2011.
Chanel Boy Handbag in Red Patent leather
Celine Handbag
Celine handbags much loved by my very chic friend the model and Vogue photographer Candice Lake. Now she has another one to lust over….
This is a retro 1973 bag in raspberry from Gucci. Seems like everyone has had enough of huge IT bags. I hated them.
Maison Martin Margiela handbag
This is a bag I bought from a little shop in Rome about 5 years ago!! Mine is blue.

As the Leading London Personal Stylist I take people for Personal Shopping on a daily basis. This gives me a unique take on the clothes that worked the best for my clients in 2010. Here are the all star buys. The Military Jacket from Balmain, Burberry (shown here) or from high street superstar Pinko. This is a trend that is easy to wear and will last for many seasons to come.
Next on my list is the shearling jacket. This is more “fashion” than the military jacket and will date but it is fun, warm and chic to wear. Shown here from Balmain, also Burberry my high street favourite is at Emporio Armani also in black with black shearling. Nice versions are at Acne, Joseph and Top Shop.
Top of my absolute faves this year is this stunning dress from Lanvin. Look for skirts from Carven featuring the ruffle or the full dress. My favourite, beautifully cut and in the stores now is this from Aqua for £135.
Aqua
For wonderful wearable shoes influenced by the madmen 50’s style look no further than Louis Vuitton, Roger Vivier or Prada. These are Louis Vuitton Beauty pumps.
Louis Vuitton
Celine has investment buys. Look no further for drop dead style from Phoebe Philo.
Celine
Or buy a classic camel coat from Max Mara or Chloe. This is so elegant and beautiful and will last and last. Particularly suits spring colouring.
Chloe
For a great dress that will take you into Spring Summer try Gucci at net-a-porter sale..
Gucci
Taller ladies suit these amazing draped styles. Lanvin, Roland Mouret all have great ones now on sale. For high street versions my favourite is at Ted Baker.

Michael Kors SS10
With Valentine’s Day approaching what to wear on a date looms high on all our radar’s. As a Personal Shopper I am continually on the lookout for dream dresses that transform and make us feel like a goddess. Look at this superb, flattering Michael Kors Goddess dress. Stunning, this works best on women over 5 `6”.
Givenchy SS10
My favourite collection is…… Givenchy. The nautical theme is superb, impossible not to make a movie star entrance in this. First impressions count as we make decisions on people in the first 30 seconds of meeting them.
Givenchy SS10
This is another gorgeous Givenchy dress with lycra to hold you in, it looks amazing on curvy women and flatters bigger breasts.
Moschino SS10
Moschino make great dresses and suits for hourglass women and this is no exception Italian Chic here we come!
Burberry SS10
For those with great legs a Burberry mac in shell pink feminine, flirty and sexy too.
Basso and Brooke
For the very slim this exuberantly coloured dress will add needed curves.
Mary Katrantzou
The trend for graphic prints as shown by Mary Katrantzou now at the new 4th Floor Harvey Nicks.
Matthew Williamson SS10
For the curvy, try Matthew Williamson’s wonderful feminine number.
From the high street Zara have produced a fantastic copy of this classic style Celine skirt. Also at Zara and selling out as we speak is a wonderful nautical black and white sweater with Balmainesque embellished shoulders. This is very chic and an absolute bargain. Great worn with Emporio Armani black sparkly jeans.
