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.

Sarah Burton : A Style Celebration

by Gabrielle on November 30, 2011

I was thrilled when Sarah Burton won British  Fashion Awards Designer of The Year. The collection from Alexander McQueen has become more feminine and stylish. I loved Pippa Middleton’s Dress at the wedding and more recently some of Kate Middleton’s most stylish looks have come from here. So here is a celebration of Sarah Burton and congratulations to a well deserved winner!

1920′s Trends

by Michael Mulligan on November 22, 2011

The 1920′s was a time of luxury, style and decadence. Keeping that in mind, it’s no wonder designers have re-incarnated  the flapper dress for their Spring/Summer 2012 collections. Shiny metallics, low dropped waists and fun, glitzy details like tassels, beading and fringing were the original party frocks for the girls who ditched their corsets and danced their cares away.

1920's trends 1

From Marc Jacobs and Gucci to Ralph Lauren and Alberta Feretti, the Spring/Summer shows were laced with a definite nod to the decade. Soft, leisurely cuts in whites, pastels and delicate florals accompanied elegant hats clearly taking inspiration from the daywear of the era.

With celebrities like Diane Kruger and Camilla Belle already taking up the look and Baz Luhrmann’s adaptation of The Great Gatsby due out net year, I predict this blossoming trend will only get bigger.

To Die For : Marchesa SS12

by Michael Mulligan on November 20, 2011

These three gowns by Marchesa are to die for. Clearly taking an inspiration from the Gilded Age, they are perfect for translating a slice of high society Edwardian glamour into modern day life. With sheer draping layers, floaty tiers of chiffon and intricate detailing, these dresses are bound to become red carpet favourites.

Some industry insiders aren’t happy with Marchesa, who seem to produce only exquisite evening dresses every season. I can see their point, the brand can be repetitive and predictable whilst other designers are new and innovative season after season. On the flip side though, aren’t there enough designers to push boundaries and mix it up? These gowns may be predictable, but you can’t deny their beauty.

There is clearly room for everyone, here in the fashion industry. Whether it be the otherworldly artistry of Alexander McQueen, the punk-rock values of Vivienne Westwood or indeed, the timeless elegance of Marchesa’s evening-wear.

Chokers: New Statement Jewellery

by Michael Mulligan on November 10, 2011

Chokers: Statement Jewellery

With designers dragging them into the twenty first century and a plethora of celebrity fans, the choker necklace really is the comeback neck-trend to take your breath away .
Despite having one of fashions most hazardous names, the choker has made a comeback. This seasons take on chokers are simple in design, but far from subtle.  These snug neck pieces are the perfect go-to accessory for adding an injection of this seasons fetish or forties trends to your wardrobe.


Like all statement  jewellery, these chokers are best when worn in isolation. Avoid earrings as  they will cause distraction (see Amber Rose) and think of the choker as
Lanvin’s Alber Elbaz does: as a cuff for the neck. Keep it simple and make it  your only adornment. Instead of adding other accessories, experiment with  textures and layering: gunmetal under a crisp white work shirt or pearls with a  fur coat. For a stand-out evening look team a voluminous pearl choker with a  strapless dress like Katherine Heigl or choose a contrasting metallic piece and  let it mingle with your neckline like Eva Longoria and Blake Lively – perfect  with an LBD.

With versions available everywhere and prices to suit everyone, the choker is set to be a must have item for your jewellery box this season.
