Top Stylista Fashion News And Tips 2010-08-26T15:45:32Z Copyright (c) 2010, Jamie Nicholson ExpressionEngine tag:topstylista.com,2010:08:31 From neo-minimalism to bohemian femininity – Stockholm Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2011 had it all! tag:topstylista.com,2010:/10.6506 2010-08-31T07:30:30Z 2010-08-26T15:45:32Z Jamie Nicholson

Upcoming and established brands took to the runways to flaunt their contemporary Swedish designs for Spring/Summer 2011. From neo-minimalism and relaxed chic at Filippa K to slouchy daywear at Hope, even I couldn’t choose a favourite from this bunch. Unique and stylish in their own ways - depending on what look you feel like sporting! Carin Wester captured the bohemian style with dresses radiating romantic femininity whilst Whyred went for modern interpretations of classic mods style with gorgeous prints on dresses.

Other designers in the Line-up at Stockholm Fashion Week were Cheap Monday, Tiger of Sweden, Nakkna and The Local Firm.

]]> Cette Shapewear Review from Lingerie Please! tag:topstylista.com,2010:/10.6462 2010-08-12T07:30:04Z 2010-08-11T08:27:05Z Jamie Nicholson 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.

]]> Style Snatcher: Leighton Meester tag:topstylista.com,2010:/10.6457 2010-08-11T07:00:26Z 2010-08-11T15:39:28Z Chantelle http://www.topstylista.com/ We’ve been following Leighton Meester’s style story for some time and as we all know she has been filming the latest series of Gossip Girl on the streets of New York recently. We absolutely LOVE one of her more relaxed outfits, which consisted of a slouchy soft tee, with sporty satin shorts teamed with Mulberry’s gorgeous fringed moccasin boots.

If you’re budget doesn’t stretch as far as the fabulous Mulberry boots then Feud London has a fab pair of fringed booties in the same vivid blue for a snip of the Mulberry price.

Feud London shoes £130

Peter Pilotto £1068

We love this edgy Peter Pilotto dress but unfortunately with a price tag of £1068, it’s a little out of our price range… Fear not! Full Circle have copied it exactly and for 90 squid who can complain?

Full Circle £90

Makes the whole experience more exciting! To top it all off why not sip from a Gin cocktail by Hendricks Gin or a Champagne cocktail.
