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.

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

Anna Wintour, famed Editor-in-Chief paid tribute this morning by sharing sentimental words with the congregation.
Speaking of his childhood not far from the cathedral she said “As a child he loved nothing more than sitting on the rooftop and watching birds fly by,” She went to say “He showed us everything was possible; dreams could become reality. But he has left us with an even more exceptional legacy, a talent that soared like the birds of his childhood above us all.”

THE HIDDEN GEM
The expected sound of car horns and the echoed hum of street life are the first sounds that transport you undoubtedly to a Park Avenue entrance. A white v-neck Heritage by Halston dress outlines the streamlined figure of a woman, D`eja` Vu? Yes you’ve got it, the opening scene Sex and the City 2. As she raises her arm to flag down the only mode of transport the sex and city girls ever use, we notice the deco style necklace adorning her neck, brought to full effect by the simple lines of the dress. The necklace is a statement piece made of diamonds, sapphires, and emeralds. The creator of the piece however is far from the celebrity spotlight; she is the woman behind the jewels and the glittering personas who wear her latest sparkles.
Solange – Azugury Partridge started designing in 1990 and worked with Antique jewellery specialist Gordon Watson who introduced her vintage Cartier, Tiffany, and Van Cleef and Arpel. Her designs are inspiring with a definite belle époque influence but with a strong contemporary effect, which does not overshadow the designers personal feelings that the Jewells represent.
The recent opening of her Bond Street salon, which is hosting a series of events resonant of the premises 1970′s nightclub feel, with A- listers such as Jennifer Aniston and, Thandie Newton amongst her disciples we have no doubt that London will make this hidden gem Sparkle eve more.
Jennifer Aniston wears the “Opal Fruit Bangle” pictured below, fantastic accessories for couture maxi dresses.
