From two recent photo shoots

As previously mentioned, we’ve been working with stylists for Andrea McLean and the rest of ITV’s ‘Loose Women.’ Here’s a sneak peek at the Loose Women’s Christmas episode:

And here’s a preview of Andrea McLean’s photo shoot for Women’s Own launching her jewellery range.

An extra layer, part 2

Thank goodness that the days are gone when the *appropriate* coat to wear was formless, fleece or wool and definitely LONGER than anything a woman had on underneath. See exhibit A:

Aside from the trend du jour of vamp cape completely obscuring a tiny dress, most women are donning coats shorter than their underlayers. Admittedly, this is probably due to those underlayers being trousers/leggings and tops rather than day dresses. I call exhibits B, C, and so on:

Saredon jacket from All Saints

Crossover cape from Zara

Another great Zara number.

A faux fur edged camel coat from Miss Selfridge.

All excellent choices for braving the cold weather!

A bright Zeleb dress for Christmas

How better to get fancy for your Christmas soirée than with a Zeleb gown? ITV’s Loose Women recently had a spot in Woman’s Own magazine, donning several Zeleb dresses in spectacular fashion.

And last but not least:

Celebs wearing Zeleb

Namely, Amy Childs. We think she definitely does look ‘dressed to kill’ in our green mermaid-style sequin dress.

A stunning dress for a gorgeous lady!

An extra layer, part 1

We had our first sighting of snow in London this morning, which makes this humble blogger think it is time to snuggle up in some cozy pretties. Much depends on the occasion, of couse; if you are going out dancing in a little party dress for New Year’s Eve, now is the time to break out the bling.

This pom-pom scarf from ModCloth has the attitude to accompany any little dress.

This Ted Baker cape in black is versatile and funky – pair it with a long, glamourous gown to make a style statement or with a unique party dress to complete your eye-catching look.

Going to a Christmas craft fair or art gallery exhibition? Tie on this little scarf to keep your neck warm and rock some Parisian chic-ness.

* Watch this space for more accessorising…and enjoy those Christmas parties!

Catwalk event at BOA Boutique

One of Zeleb’s newest stockists, BOA Boutique in Richmond, hosted their first Fashion Show event last night and we were proud to have a member of staff in attendance. BOA’s massive and diverse collection of bridal, occasion and evening wear makes it a great destination for anyone in need of a great dress!

Owner Sheila has ambitiously united some fantastic designers in her collection including Zeleb, Amanda Wyatt, Olvis, Elizabeth Stuart and many others. Last evening’s event featured a variety of styles as you can see in the photos below.

A bit blurry, but this floaty, feminine silk organza gown from Zeleb stands out.

Sheila and one of our most impressive dresses, the pink flower gown with bow and train.

Channelling Marie Antoinette, like many of our favourite Terry Fox dresses.

Did you think this was going to be just another boring suit? BOA Boutique has no boring suits! Gotcha! This Paule Vasseur piece is classy yet unique.

To check out samples of BOA’s collection, just visit their website or make an appointment to stop by the boutique.

Red carpet

Many of Zeleb’s dresses (like this, this, and this one) are inspired by some classic, wow-worthy red carpet looks. As the year draws to a close, we thought we might pay a bit of homage to some of the best of the red carpet for 2011: movie premieres, charity events, awards shows, and the like.

Emily Blunt in Elie Saab at the 2011 Emmy Awards. She is downright smokin’! And the best part – barely has to worry about shoes. (Also it reminds us of this dress.)

Not sure how someone as pale as Cate Blanchett always ends up looking fabulous instead of washed out in such pale colours like this Givenchy Couture dress…but she does. From the ’11 Oscars.

Mary J. Blige: this woman knows what’s going on! Rocking the diva look at the 2011 FiFi Awards.

Can’t stay away from the Oscars photos, and certainly not from Natalie Portman. Preggers or no, she looks stunning in this Rodarte gown & we love the to-one-side hair.

Is anyone else disproportionately excited by the new Sherlock Holmes film? Conan Doyle’s Holmes it may not be, but hey, Conan Doyle didn’t have Rachel McAdams as a muse. This Marchesa dress channels her period costumes for the film & does it so well. If you’re hankering after a similar gown, go no further…

Awww, Amy. Bless your ruffly heart. From this January’s Golden Globes.

Distancing herself from her uni-casual and mini-dress overloaded ‘Big Bang Theory’ wardrobe, Kaley Cuoco continues to prove how glam she can be.

Zoe Saldana’s red carpet successess are too many to count; here we’ll just permit two of her Cannes outfits. Armani on the L, Vionnet on the R.

Finally, some Hillary Swank. Wearing a fab Elie Saab dress paired with matching Louboutins, she looks to be about the best thing that could come out of the movie whose premiere she was attending – ‘New Year’s Eve.’

Dispatches from Black Friday, part 3

Black Friday came & went without a dispatch! To say this is because we were out shopping would be a little misleading…but the Zeleb showroom was better for it. To those who did shop, you are to be commended for your diligence, but beware: now begins the real struggle, to keep everything that you found put away until Christmas!

One of the best things about today, the post-BF Saturday, is that all our favourite American shopping/crafty/fashion bloggers are putting up posts about their great finds. Although the time they spent procuring these excellent items is certainly not enviable, the prices certainly are.  To come: a round-up of some of our faves…
