Lets face it girls we might want to be stylish but we also really, really want to be sexy. So as your personal stylist I’ve been chatting with some of fashion’s most important designers to get their advice on how to look seductive this summer.

One of my absolute faves is Marios Schwab. No wonder the label’s fans include such fashion luminaries as Kate Moss, Clemence Poesy and Chloe Sevigny. This Spring/Summer’s collection has a rebel spirit vibe, plus there are gorgeous lingerie dresses daubed with lace work and tattoo patterns. Since the label began in 2005, the name Marios Schwab has become synonymous with definitely sexy, body hugging silhouettes and elegantly erotic designs. Take this lace-panelled dress as a case in point. It’s tightly fitted and darkly mysterious, with gorgeous detailing.

Here are some of Marios’ excellent top tips on how to dress sexy:It’s all about what is revealed and what is hidden when you get dressed.

Don’t be a slave to trends. Keep your individuality.

Style Tips from Bobbi Brown

It should be summer but the weather is so changeable at the moment most fashionistas are struggling with their wardrobes right now no matter how style savvy they are. Recently makeup maestro Bobbi Brown has been sharing her tips for stylish dressing with the fashion crowd and I thought I’d share some of my favourites with you. It’s definitely (fashion) food for thought!

1. Take inspiration from your friends. When I was a teen we didn’t have that many celebrity magazines to follow the latest fashions so I’d look at my girlfriends instead. There was one who wore the perfect combat jacket, sending me on a mission to find myself the same one.

OUR TIP: Try this amazing vintage camouflage combat jacket.

2. Pay attention to your shape and who you are. At 5ft tall I look better in clothes that are cut for my body and I’m always going for the unexpected when it comes to style.

3. Wear things that make you feel good. Look at what others are wearing on the street. I’d rather pair a stack of sparkly bracelets with jeans than a dress because the contrast is what makes it interesting.

OUR TIP: Add some bling a la Bobbi with these gorgeous sparkly bracelets to spice up a casual, daytime look.
