Bea's doing it.
Lord, Westfield's doing it and so has Myer.
DJ's is about to start doing it.
In Bea's case he costs $2,300 per day.
In our case, with DJs, Myer, Westfields, a half hour session can be free.
What am i talking about?
Using a stylist to get a better look.
Whether its for one occasion or a few pieces or one item, you tell them about your lifestyle and they bring you a short list of items to pick from. There is no obligation to buy, ever.
TIP: Stylists associated with particular shopping centres or stores can have a tendency to subtley "push" you toward certain retailers. make sure you have a good rapport and trust whoever you use - and ideally that they dont have any biases/affiliations.
Back to Bea:
Apparently after much critism of Bea's royal wedding look, she has hired a stylist, Charlie Anderson, the former fashion director of the UK Tatler magazine to, er, assist her with her look.
Before:
PS: She's the one with the uterus/toilet seat on her head.

I would love many an Elie Saab to get married in! So beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThe thing I love about his stuff Crystal is that its beautiful (no "weird fashiony" pieces) & has a light as air ethereal quality to it (no structure, soft & floaty). Not sure if its illegal to call Elie Saab gowns "stuff"....hahahaha.
ReplyDeleteOne in particular took my breath away recently - Emma Watson in a knee length, pale blue....i dont think it got the attention it deserved cos it wasnt floor length......I'll post a photo if you dont recall which one i mean...Val
PS: I've always been a Valentino girl myself...simple girl, like you....hehehe
