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.

by Hayley Bevan on December 6, 2011

The Stylist picked pieces that will take you from office to cocktails.

At this time of year our main priorities as fabulous Stylists are to make sure that our clients have a Stylish array of outfits specifically selected to take them from office to cocktail hour. Here at Gabrielle Teare we have made our selections to ensure you dazzle the moment you walk in.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

Holly Fulton Spring Summer 2012

Holly Fulton was easily my favourite show, I love her clothes and the jewellery as well. My pleasure was added to when I met her afterwards. Another Scot, Holly is just delightful. These were clothes inspired by the US poolside scene of the 60′s and 70′s, clothes to promenade in.

Look at the fabulous print on this bikini and the amazing 60′s check beach bag. I would love one……….

These Palazzo pants are great for summer strolling and the silk will keep you cool

A beautiful silk dress and another great bag, the shoes were by Christian Louboutin.

A superb yellow and blue bikini.

Here is Holly Fulton outside Somerset House.

Here is Hilary Alexander from the Daily Telegraph looking fab and wearing Holly Fulton.

My Favourite Designer Shoes Autumn Winter 2011

by Gabrielle on August 8, 2011

I love designer shoes and this season there are loads to set yourheart on fire. From Jimmy Choo these embellished sandals will rock with any LBD.

From Giuseppe Zanotti comes very stylish shoe boots without a peep toe so your feet will stay lovely and dry.

I saw these Christian Louboutin fetish shoes at the David Koma show in February they looked great with the leather and black dresses.

For the first time in ages this season has comfortable flats and boots. Alexander Mcqueen has great riding boots with the trademark skull on the back.

I love these Pedro Garcia sandals very elegant and flat.

For the last of summer wear these eye catching Miu Miu brogues in zebra print and then wear them with minis or skinnies when the autumn starts.

Designer Platform Shoes : Fabulous or Fashion Victim Mode?

by Gabrielle on March 8, 2011

Christian Louboutin Platforms

As a Personal Shopper in London I am frequently in the shops. Last Wednesday I was doing a preview for some of my clients and was in a packed (what recession) Christian Louboutin shop in Knightsbridge. I watched woman after woman trying to walk in 6.5” high platforms.

Burberry Prorsum Python Pumps

I was struck by how stupid, unstylish and lacking in elegance the women looked. If you cannot stand in a shop to try on shoes they are going to be massively unwearable. Look at how ugly these shoes actually are.

Versace Sandals

Then I visited the new shoe department this week in Selfridges with a client, and saw even more horrible shoes. Trust me these are tranny shoes uncomfortable, and ugly and you will walk like a tranny if you try to wear them. Look at these from Versace?? Excuse me? Are we all deranged or not?

Charlotte Olympia Pumps

There is style. There is fashion…….. And then there is fashion victim. If you buy these you are going to look back in horror at what you wore. Don’t go there. It also strikes me as anti-women to literally hobble us in the recession maybe??

Lady Gaga clearly having a Bad Romance with these well named “Alien” shoes. Think hoof, think bunion. Leave Alexander McQueen alone.

Gwyneth-Paltrows-Shoes- Grammy Awards

Here is Gwyneth Paltrow ???????????? Ladies just vote with your feet go and find a sexy pair.

UK TO BAN HIGH HEELS ????

by Gabrielle on August 9, 2009

For years I used to go shopping in Paris and Milan and buy clothes and shoes for myself. My friends would give me money to buy for them, a suitcase for me and one for them, thus a career Personal Stylist/Shopper beckoned and I duly succumbed and trained.

Staying opposite Roger Vivier shop I found a small dusty shoe shop Christian Louboutin. A love affair began, long long before he came to the UK. I am almost ashamed to tell you how many pairs I have.

My shoe affair is my own business. “Comfort or Style” ? I ask my clients. Comfort c. 80% reply. “What about shoes”? “Oh Style everytime, I don’t care about comfort” is the most common response.

We have a recession, many people face a loss of jobs, income and businesses face melt down. The huge workers union the TUC scratch their collective bald patch and ruminate the answer is women must stop wearing heels over 1 inch”. PURLEESE!
