Style it with... #6

This is the last one of our stylish inspiration posts! :(

But to finish off on a high and to get you into the festive spirit, I present The Party Lady! 

Keep it simple and sparkly, with beautiful accessories and stunning shoes, add lots of sparkles and you will be ready for a fabulous night-out or just showing off at home ready to tackle the turkey!

I hope you have enjoyed this series of fashion posts, and thank you so much again to Sarah from Yull for having taken part in it!

And the winner is...

The  competition finished last Sunday evening and it is time to announce the winner!

Thank you to everybody who entered! All the entries were on Twitter so only one winner this time.

**drum roll**

As chosen by random.org, the winner of the piece of jewellery of her choice is... Camilla from Some Kind of Style!

Congratulations, and your *Tourbillon de la vie* (Whirlwind) necklace will be with you very very soon!

Style it with... #5

Our penultimate look already, I hope you have been enjoying them!

This week we are all about being girly, and that is 100% moi! :)

I like to look pretty and girly and feminine, wearing lace and frills and cute accessories - in my opinion, nobody should ever take themselves too seriously!

I know I haven't done any outfit posts for a few weeks but I will try my utmost to squeeze one in with a girly look!... in the meantime, here goes some more stylish inspiration to keep you looking fabulous!

I am... The Glamour Queen

Another week, another style! and this week it is all about glamour!

However in the heat of glamourama, my camera and I had a fight. There were tears, and it resulted in not so many photos of my glamorous outfit. :(

I hope I always look glamorous (to some extent at least), and in another life, I want to be Christina Hendricks. For now, I can but try and find clothes that flatter my curves and accessorise them with simple and elegant jewellery.

and to finish off, a glamorous kiss! :) 

Dress: Dorothy Perkins// shoes: Next // Necklaces: *Stras et paillettes* and *Winterland*

Style it with... #2

This week we are all about glamour! Mixing a velvet dress from Monsoon with stunning velvet shoes with some elegant and feminine jewellery.

The Glamour Queen is me (well, I'd like to think so); it is certainly the style that suits me and my curves most and which makes me feel the most like a grown-up woman (odd thing to say for somebody who likes Hello Kitty, bunny lamps and stickers so much!).

and you, what's your style?

Things I heart #2

 Drinking tea. I'd go as far as say that it's a defining feature in me.

Montmartre, where Amélie lives. Paris in general I might add.

 My Singer machine, and more recently bought, my new black and gold bonbonnière (John Lewis)

My very kitsch but very adorable Piggy bank... a childhood belonging.  

Making a necklace which I am very proud of. *Stras et paillettes*

My art deco clutch. Found at TK Maxx, so very lush. 

Autumn and its changing colours

The Christmas gift guide is now online!

I very much enjoy doing gift guides, they really put me into the festive mood, and I become every so excited when it is finally time to launch them!

You can view last year's here... but for now, make room for the 2012 gift and inspiration guide, soft and fluffy with a dreamy atmosphere mixed with a little poetry - what's not to like?

I hope you like it as much as I did making it!

Click on the images to view them in bigger, alternatively, you can view the guide on Issuu here or on Yudu here and or Scribd here - all those are interactive so you can click on each product to be redirected to the product page.

ENJOY! :)

I am.... Casual Chic

 So how did I style my Casual Chic look yesterday? With super high heels (for me!), a nicely oversized wool jumper, smart black jacket and lots of pretty jewellery!

(No face photos this time, I did those early in the morning and hadn't quite woken up yet!)

Photos please!

A little inspiration never hurts anyone, and we all know how much we love to spend hours looking at pretty things, pondering over them, and squealing with joy when we finally decide to go for it and say: 'I NEED this!'

*Paris in a bottle* and Yull have therefore decided to take you on a style hunt... creating different looks that designer pieces with high street buys, to keep you looking fabulous and stylish this season!


What next?

One look every Friday for the next 6 weeks: from winter warmers, to high heels, glamorous dresses, lace and cute jewellery, we hope that our selection will help inspire you on how to beat the winter blues!

Enjoy! :)

And the winner is... (or should I say 'winners'...?!)

Thank you so much to everybody who entered my latest competition to win a Collectibles bracelet of your choice.

I note that the 'dark night' ribbon was especially popular (5 entries out of 16)!

Because you were all so nice to me and loved my bracelets so much, I decided to give TWO away instead of one - I'm nice like that! :)

So the winners are:

Please email me your address at hello@parisinabottle.net and you will soon receive a very pretty bracelet, made just for you!

Things I heart #1

Things I heart... possessions, images, hobbies that I love and that make me smile...

 My doctor's bag. A present from my mum, it is so beautifully perfect, I absolutely adore it! 

 I get so many compliments about it all the time! 

Where it is from: secret highly guarded by my mum! ;-)

Fifi lapin - a bunny who likes, wears and is fashion. I just love the concept…

The cutest bow purse with just a hint of glitter, from Dorothy Perkins (but sold out online) 

Receiving cards and surprise gifts from my friends and family...

 Memories... how time flies

 My animal print shoes from stasia.com - so elegant!
