I’ve been a fan of Gossard lingerie for a while now. They produce such gorgeous sets at reasonable prices making every woman who wears them feel sexy and confident as the brand itself is famous for enhancing women’s shapes.
The latest set I got my fashionista hands on is The French Fancy Non Padded Plunge Bra with briefs – a beautiful set in midnight made from sheer lace with delicate gold trimming. It is designed to support you in the most comfortable of ways and I must say this is very true and it fits me perfectly.

I’ve always wanted to give shapewear a try. The promise of lifting and slimming your figure is always something women dream of! But having heard mixed reviews in the past I was a little sceptical. Curiosity got the better of me though and I chose two pieces of shapewear from Lingerie Please – both made by Cette. The Revolution Magic Knickers Support and the Evolution Midriff Tummy Thigh and Rear Shaper!
I was quite excited when they arrived but seeing the women on the front of the packaging wearing the items did make me think I would no way look like that! When it came round to opening them up and actually seeing the shapewear I did wonder how I was going to get them on – they were so tiny and, as I had opted for small, thought a medium would have been the better choice. Oh how wrong I was! Once I had tried them on they fitted perfectly and were more comfortable than I thought.

Take a deep breathe because the 2010 beauty word on the street is ‘Oxygen, Oxygen Oxygen’, it’s the latest potent ingredient in the battle against tired and aging skin.
Celebs have long been wise into the ways of the big O and have been stocking their bathroom shelves with a brand called ‘Karin Herzog’. This luxury skincare range developed in Switzerland boasts Uma Thurman, Kylie and Victoria Beckham amongst its fans so I had to find out more - after all what’s good enough for Posh is surely good enough for a TopStylista lady?!
Herzog decided to start using oxygen because it’s antiseptic, anti-viral, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and anti-inflammatory. Apparently when we’re young and our oxygen levels are healthily high we have beautiful clear complexions. But as we age our oxygen levels naturally decline and this combined with smoking, stress, pollution, alcohol, sun damage etc means our skin looks old and tired. Not good….

As of Spring 2010 there’s a new luxury skincare brand about town, all the way from Down Under in fact, and it’s called OP Therapy Skincare.
The products are one of the only 100% Australian, native made and owned ranges and were created and developed by Alexandra Olsson, whose passion for natural healthcare led to the conception of a healing, nourishing and regenerative range of treatments combining emu oil and natural herbal plant extracts.
We were recently introduced to the range through AmaZing PR who have been synonymous with successful beauty product launches in the UK.
What’s quite remarkable about the products is that they contain some rather unusual (to us Northern Hemisphere bunch) ingredients, that are said to have natural healing elements.
