From the moment we checked in, airport swish but fast and super friendly we knew we were in for a luxurious time at Urban Retreat @ Harrods this is the fantastic Roja Dove Perfumary. I know Roja Dove from when he was Head Make-Up at Guerlain. He made me look so beautiful so I am already a big fan.
Personal StylistsGabrielle Teare and Caroline Chantler both also writers at fashiontv and Urban Magazine. Sarah LaHausseDeLaLouviere looked amazing as she showed off neon orange nails. I went for gorgeous navy blue with a slight sparkle. I love my nails I can’t stop looking at them!
The stylish salon has just launched Artistic Colour Gloss. This is nail varnish with a difference it lasts THREE times longer than ordinary polish. Created by top Hollywood ‘Man’-icurist Tom Bachik, who has tended the fingertips of A-listers including Victoria Beckham, J-Lo, Cameron Diaz and Beyoncé.
Next we had our hair done by Josh here is Caroline looking fabulous.
This is me after a gorgeous blow dry also by Josh.
This is Sarah LaHausseDelaLouviere looking stunning and showing orange neon nails. Just fab!!
This is Sebastian Brown who then did my make-up. I was amazed as gorgeous Marilyn Monroe wide white and brown eyes appeared. It was the best make-up I have ever had I would thoroughly recommend him.
All in all it was a wonderful evening Urban Retreat is uber luxurious and the pampering is wonderful. Go, just relax and enjoy………………

Caroline Castigliano
As the Leading London Personal Stylist I often style wedding clients. Looking for designer wedding dresses that look amazing is about matching your shape and colouring to the dress.
Rani Bassi in Caroline Castigliano
I love Caroline Castigliano dresses and her is a client of mine looking sensational at her wedding on Santorini. This dress is a soft grey ivory silk and so can only be worn by Winters ‘with black hair. Choosing the right colour silk is the secret to looking great or looking drained.
Elie Saab SS 2010
Another great designer is Elie Saab here is her Spring Summer 2010 collection.
Sarah Clarke (La Hausse de la Louviere) and Gabrielle Teare
Here is another client and friend that I styled Sarah La Hausse de la Louviere in Elie Saab. Sarah is spring so suits the ivory silk.
Maria De Heaver
Here is Maria De Heaver another friend who I styled for her wedding. The dress came from HollywoodDreams in Kensington.
Maria De Heaver
The tiara and earrings came from Isabelle Kurtenbach design and the shoes from Annelo and Davide all in Kensington. How beautiful does she look simply stunning!
Armani Prive SS2010
For a streamlined, elegant look try Armani Prive.
Christian Dior SS 2010 Bridal Couture
For full blown fantasy John Galliano for Christian Dior. This dress will suit winters again as is greys and light pinks.
Le Bourget Tights Please
The best Bridal Stockings has to be the sensational Le Bourget Essential Stockings. The French collection is well known for their excellence in quality and style, these beautiful stockings are no exception. www.tightsplease.co.uk
