FASHION Pretty Pumps 12402 views
Pumps are the perfect solution for end-of-the-day wedding feet. So remember to pack a pair in a bag to change into at the reception. For pumps with red carpet kudos, we check out a new wedding collection by celebrity favourites, French Sole.
French Sole’s third store in London, only recently opened, is just as chic and stylish as the two existing stores. Stocking the entire French Sole collection, we are keeping a beady eye open for the new ‘Confetti’ Wedding Collection. Officially launching in August, the collection is designed by Jane Winkworth in luxurious fabrics and leathers and a fabulous range of styles and colours. 
If you call in at any of the boutiques you could be rubbing shoulders with any of the 
A-list celebrities that regularly check in for new styles. Madonna is a fan of the classic yet stylish ‘Teresa’. Sienna Miller adores the ‘Camilla’, an obvious staple to her wardrobe. Kate Moss likes to show a little toe cleavage in a pair of black nubuck ‘Henriettas’. Sadie Frost is a rock chick at heart and is a huge fan of 'India' in leopard ponyhair with a shocking pink trim. Yasmin Le Bon has an assortment of the ‘Harriets’ in an array of metalic shades. Sophie Middleton took a shine to the ‘Harriet Patent Crocs’ and purchased a pair in chocolate patent with orange trim. As well as the London stores, you can shop online at frenchsole.com or call 01189 888800.

FASHION Style Guru 12607 views
Summer’s here, bringing with it the usual bikini panic, accessory envy and makeup meltdown. Don’t get left behind with these fantastic on-trend wardrobe, beauty and accessory tips from 10 Years Younger presenter Nicky Hambleton-Jones - just in time for the honeymoon.
Maire Bonheim chats to style guru Nicky Hambleton-Jones about the hottest statement accessories to update your summer look, the best summer beauty products and the best way to ban muffin tops.
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………What are your essential summer wardrobe must-haves?
"If you want to invest in just a few things to spruce up last year’s wardrobe for the honeymoon, I would say one of the key pieces is an oversized clutch handbag – it’s the must-have accessory. It’s definitely worth investing in something patent, mock crock or a bright colour that will set off any outfit. Platform wedge 
heels – we get wedge heels every year but this year particularly we’ve got stacked wooden platform heels that are very popular, but also interesting wedge heels, so cut out wedges, narrow wedges and anything that’s a wedge heel is going to update your look. Gladiator sandals, for those with very slim calves and elegant feet – they’re not for everyone but again are a very on trend accessory. Waisted belts, and also stars, spots, stripes are a very key look – and that can be anything from tops to belts to shoes to bags, a necklace, anything that’s got the element of stars, stripes and spots."What summer fashion disasters should women avoid at all costs?
"Don’t flash too much flesh. We’ll get a hot summer day and next thing you know the strappy tops come out and we get muffin tops, love handles the whole lot on show. Think about your body shape when it comes to summer. Yes, it might be hot, but you can still wear something that’s fitted without being too clingy or too short or just too revealing".
What’s your one essential style tip for women of different shapes?
"Whatever body shape you are, always try and create a waist, whether it’s with a tailored jacket or a waisted belt. The minute you’ve got a waist, the rest of you will look in proportion and you look curvy, which creates a much slimmer physique".
What are some of your favourite summer beauty products?
"I love Clinique’s Superdefense moisturiser – which has SPF protection but is still quite light, so it’s perfect for summer. Johnson’s Holiday Skin all over glow is great on the body, and Avon have got a fantastic new dual eye cream that’s got sun protection 30 in it for the day, which is great because I think people put SPF in their moisturiser but forget about protecting themselves around the eye area, so I love that. And then don’t forget it’s important to exfoliate your skin regularly. I’m all over Dr Sebagh’s Deep Exfoliating Mask once a week. It gives me a much more youthful glow".

FASHION Little Maids 7206 views
Bespoke dresses for your little bridesmaids might sound beyond the budget. But Perfume River has a fab new range of handmade flower girl dresses with affordable price tags and oodles of lovely detail.
Made from taffeta silk, organza and tulle, Perfume River has gorgeous frocks for little ones. Most styles come with detachable sashes or bodices that can be made in any colour to tie in with the wedding day theme.
Inspired by the romantic Perfume River, which flows through the
ancient city of Hue in Vietnam, the collection was started by Ha Ngo. Living in London as a mother of two lively girls, Ha was driven by the frustration of trying to find quality frocks at reasonable prices.Caroline Louise Pearce of Tamworth recently ordered a flower girl dress from Perfume River for her wedding in August this year. Caroline wrote to Ha saying, "The dresses are beautiful, attention to detail is incredible and I think you should be charging far more than you do. Thank you so much for your help, I've recommended you to all my friends."
Prices start at £39.99. To find out more, call 020 7733 4223 or go to Perfume River.
