This Season Must Have Shoes

Style Update  - Welcome Back Stilettos , Goodbye Platform Shoes

So it’s a Sunday, the weekend is nearly over. As I sit drinking my second cup of tea, I am reviewing the Milan and Paris Runway pictures; I thought I’d update all my Gissing Goddesses on this season must have shoe style.

Sexy Stiletto Heels Are Here:

For those of you who are young enough to have missed the 80’s, the stiletto shoe is a long thin heeled shoe which can be accompanied with a pointed toe. There is something incredibly sexy, sophisticated and classic about a great pair of heels, they can give you the confidence I think we all require in times of need; i.e. a 1st date, job interviews, special occasions, even dropping the children off at school.

 We are all guilty of wanting to gain an extra 5 inch’s to our height, somehow these shoes make our legs look more toned and longer. No wonder Carrie Bradshaw had an extreme love affair with them in Sex and The City. “£40,000 on shoes”….


Paris and Milan fashion shows were amazing, I have to admit, my love affair with shoes has just shifted up a gear. This season is all about thin heels, platforms are over, so make sure your next purchase is a sexy stiletto heel. Below is a classic Christian Louboutin heel that is a must have for any women’s wardrobe. Gissings Boutique have stiletto shoes in stock. We suggest you invest in a fantastic black patient pair as they will be a wardrobe staple this winter.

Have a lovely day, and thanks for reading. Sian

Lastest A/Winter 2011 Fashion Trend - Jewellery Box Colours

FASHION's palette has moved on from summer's acid bright and paint box pops of colour into the sumptuous realm of jewel tones for autumn/winter 2011-12. With names like amethyst, sapphire, emerald, ruby, garnet and citrine - these hues have the power to make you feel rich and sophisticated.

Now we can colour block by using burnt oranges and purples, emerald greens and sapphire blues. Think deep, rich beautiful colours, them together.  As seen on Cheryl Cole, Nicole Schezinger and Kim Kardashians.




Gissings Boutique How To Guide for Colour Blocking:

1. Keep items plain, when colour blocking only wear items that are plain and have no patterns.

2. Spilt colours at the waist for example, wear a gold waist belt to separate the colours.

3. If wearing a coloured plain dress, why not add colour with your shoes, handbags and jewellery.







Ideal Colours -

Light/Fair Skin - Emerald Greens, Burnt Oranges, Blacks, Deep Sapphire Blues - Use Silvers to break up the colours.

Medium/Olive Skin- Hot Pinks, Bright Purples, Oranges, Creams, - Use Gold or Bronze to break up the colours.

Dark Skin - You are very lucky as any off the above colours would look amazing - be careful and ensure the tones of colour are the same. For example keep warm and cool tones separate.

Please email us for any advice tips, if you are planning to attend an event or special occasion then let us know and we shall be happy to suggest some ideas via Gissings Boutique Personal Style Service. Email info@gissingsboutique for more information.

New Autumn Winter Collection

Summer is in full bloom, the sun is shining and my tans lines are progressing nicely, yet I find myself thinking about the Autumn/Winter Collection for 2011. Am, I really wishing summer to be over so soon? Well, if I'm honest Autumn/Winter is my favorite time of year, as I can always look and feel better in the fall season. The main reason being, is that I can hide a multitude amount of sins under the fabulous layers of designer clothes.

As a buyer for Gissing Boutique, I find myself scouring the Internet, deciding what collections we are going to stock for the next season, this morning as I sat in my beautifully colourful silk dressing gown (housecoat to the welsh), drinking a lovely sup of tea, I come across Kate Middleton AKA Duchess of Cambridge looking exquisite in her Navy Blue Smythe Suit with match Mulberry handbag. Can this women be any more pristine and chic? Yes, as it appears on her arrival to Canada, she exits the plane wearing a sexy, chic blue lace dress by Candaian-British Designer Erdem Moralioglu.

For those of you who are not aware of Erdem Moralioglu, he is a Canadian/British Designer who was born in 1977, worked as an intern for Vivienne Westwood and his mother came from Brimingham. His latest collection for the fall season 2011 is stunning, colourful and has a play around the 1950's tailored style. I am personaly drawn to his collection and there are a few pieces that would work wonders at a christimas event. Think Jackie Onassis with a hint of Rock N Roll and you are just about there. You can view his latets collection at www.erdem.co.uk and Gissing Boutique will be selling a few of his pieces so keep following us for more details.

 Smythe Navy Blazer



Kate decieded to team her Smythe Blazer with a suit dress, which works very well and it is something I'd wear, and to finish off with a Mulberry handbag, shows Kate really knows her British/Candian designers well or her stylist is doing a fantastic job. Well, that's to pieces added to my Winter Collection, just another 22 to go.... I best put the kettle on.

Enjoy your day Gissing Godess's, and please let me know of any stlyes or collection you would like us to stock. Your thoughts are always welcomed.

5 Steps To Be A Confident Women

Believe it or not, I disagree with lists that tell you to wear this, and say that, in order to be confident when it comes to being around guys. Being anything or anyone, other than YOURSELF is a recipe for disaster!

You will be having to second guess everything that you say, watching your every move, and will not be relaxed at all! This will give mixed signals to any guy and you will either make a total fool of yourself, or you will come across as having something to hide.

- Just what it is that scares you about going out there and just being yourself?

- Would you really want to attract someone by being someone else anyway?

- How long do you really think that you could (or would want to) keep up the pretence for?

Just be yourself and that way, whoever you do or don’t attract, it will all work out for the best in the long run as you can only attract someone who is most suited to the real YOU.

1. Wear Ghatever Makes You Feel Like A Goddess!
And no, this does not have to involve layers of make-up and six inch stiletto heels! If you feel sexy and sensual when dressed in jeans and a sweater, then by all means, go out dressed like this! When asked what they find most attractive in women, men tend to say ‘confidence’. A woman who is relaxed and at ease in her own skin – if you are zippered up into the world’s most uncomfortable corset, you are not likely to be oozing an air of relaxation are you. Men do not seek perfection, and what one man considers to be beautiful, is different to the next. So get out there, just be yourself, and you cannot go wrong. Simple!

2. Understand What Makes A Man Tick...
Men like to feel as though they are admired for what they do, what they can do – they like to feel like the provider, and the king of their castle. Compliment a guy on the fact that you can tell he has been working out, and you’ll grab his attention. Once you have his attention, he will soon turn the tables on you and strike up a conversation. So don’t sit across the room staring from a distance, not knowing how to approach a guy. If you like him put yourself out there.
Keep it playful to begin with and avoid the deep and meaningfuls – this is to be shared if you begin dating. Don’t give too much of yourself away to begin with. Let him work you out.

3. Know That Men Love To Chase A Woman...
Men love to chase a woman anyway, so try not to worry too much about being the one to make all the moves. Just enjoy being appreciated for who you are, and if a guy likes you, let him do so. Confident women don’t appear needy or grateful that a man shows some interest. Never ever forget that this guy wants YOU and the harder you are to catch, the longer he is likely to keep hold of you. However, there is a clear difference between being chased, and playing games. You do have to let him catch you at some point, that is of course, if you want to be caught. But remember that men love to chase women, and appreciate the female form. So never ever forget the power that you have when you walk into a room.

4. Practice Positive Body Language...
Practise good posture, and learn how to stand tall! Walk from the ‘hips’ and understand the power of that feminine swagger. Guys notice a woman’s body language, and love a woman who is confident. So understand how to show that inner confidence without even saying a word. Through practising this body language, you will soon be feeling as you are acting. Have you ever heard that old saying about smiling even if you feel sad on the inside? Once you smile, you will naturally find that your mood follows. So even if you don’t feel it on the inside, you can start by faking it on the outside, and the rest will follow.

5. Keep Thinking Positively...
More often than not, we believe that things will go wrong, or that we are this terrible person and low and behold – what happens? Things go wrong – the mind is a powerful thing, as us humans are great at telling ourselves stories. If you believe something strongly enough, you can almost will it to happen.  Read up on the ‘law of attraction’ – what you focus on grows. And so if you believe that no man ever notices you, chances are, they won’t as your every fibre in your being will be giving off nothing but negative and defensive signals. Let yourself believe that something good will happen and keep visualising it. Try this and just wait and see what happens! If you want that guy, just believe in it and it really can happen!

Above all, just remember that guys adore a woman who can just be herself, and this really does not take ANY effort, as being yourself should be the most natural thing in the world, if you are trying TOO hard then you are doing something wrong here – just relax!

Best Wishes,

Gissing Boutique

Abby Clancy's Wedding Dress - Simply Stunning

Simply Stunning WAG  -

When I first saw the pictures of Abbey Clancy's Wedding Dress, I was shocked to say the least. Not only does she look amazingly stunning, but she looks classy and very elegant. Has Abbey set the standards of all future WAGS?

Her stunning dress is made by Giles Decon and features a tight bodice with elegant lace patterned on the bust to maximise Abbey's beautiful curves. I have never been a fan of WAG's as they do appear to be more "Shabby then "Chic"  however, today I feel I need to give credit where its due. Well done Abbey, you look very beautiful...

Abbey's, hair is simple and her "smokey" eyes are not exactly traditional, but it works because she has kept the hair and jewellery minimal. I highly recommend this look for any brides to be, because of the cut of the dress "Fish-Tail", it will flatter almost every body type.

Well done Abbey, Gissing Boutique wish you and Peter a long and happy marriage. For more information, or style secrets for your big day please follow "Gissing Boutique" on Twitter and on Facebook.
