1- How would you describe your style in one word?

I would describe my style as eclectic!

Here are Zohra’s Top 5 GMD Dresses

1)Beulah Rapunzel Blue Heart Gown

This dress from Beulah is such a classic beauty, and I adore the silk satin material of it adorned with scattered hearts.  It’s striking with its clashes of midnight blue with natural colours. You can make do and complete the elegant look by piecing it with an embellished clutch for that spot on timeless beauty look.

2)Gorgeous Couture Evita Maxi Gown 

What instantly drew me to this gorgeous piece was its lace panelled top section and the striking sheer red colour of the dress. The subtle pleats at the bottom of the dress coupled with the lace panels is a guarantee to add illusions of curves!

3)Beulah Silver Painted Lady  

This dress is SO Grace Kelly, with its pleated neckline and thigh high slit, you’re sure to make a grand entrance. What I think this dress does best is that whilst it is pretty sultry in a subtle way, it just oozes with glamour and class!

4)Dina Bar-El Sophia  

What’s better then sweeping into an event with an indigo silk-satin charmeuse gown that puts you in the spotlight?! This dress is to die for with its silk-chiffon ruffles falling gracefully across the bodice and that train will be sure to add a statement to your outfit. I thought this is a perfect dress to channel your inner Kate Middleton with the class but be a bit out there with the added train and glitzy embellishments!

5)Margaery Gown 

On those cold nights, there’s nothing quite like a bit of arm coverage especially when it looks as good as this! Embellished with sequins and beads, there’s a tad Midsummer Night Dream feel about this dress and that’s what I love. It’s exquisitely graceful and looks perfect for a wedding or ball. I especially love how the dress looks free flowing and floaty so you can swish that skirt as you’re asked for a dance 😉

This weeks Guest Stylist pick on the@Girlmeetsdress  blog is from Charlotte Kewley, Charlotte is a freelance Stylist & Fashion Editor with over a decades worth of experience in the fashion industry. She began her career at Sugar and then More magazines where she built up her knowledge and expertise in the field of fashion and styling. She has contributing to many magazines styling both fashion and celebrity shoots; OK!, Fabulous, Stylist, Zest and Two to name a few. All her years of experience and drive have enabled Charlotte to build her client base and become the reputable stylist she is today.

Charlotte answered a few questions for us:

– How would you describe your style?

Cool, casual and fairly classic – I mix it up a bit, sometimes I go more dark and rocky and sometimes I like a pretty, more feminine look.

– What are your fashion loves, and your hates?

I love my leather jacket! I left an old treasured one in the back of a black cab and it took almost a year to find the perfect replacement (in Whistles eventually). I love it when people experiment but I hate it when people try to hard or look overdressed/slutty. I’d always rather look under than overdressed personally.

– What’s the most loved item in your wardrobe?

My leather jacket. And I just got a new Sophie Hulme bowling bag that I adore.

– What advice would you have for anyone wanting to get into styling?

Get lots of work experience with stylists and on magazines and make as many contacts as possible!

– Where do you get your inspiration from?

Everywhere. Definitely the catwalk but more and more from streetstyle pics and blogs!

– Name one item no stylist should be without?

To wear or in your stylist kit!?

To wear – the perfect pair of day boots! We’re constantly running around on appointments, on shoots and around press days so a great pair of flats or boots is a must.

In your kit – safety pins and a lint roller, ha!

– What is your favourite SS14 trend?

I love all of the pastels and I love sport luxe – the Christopher Kane Petal and Flower sweatshirts combine the two perfectly. Want!

Here are Charlotte’s picks from GirlMeetsDress.com

1-  VIONNET / Vivid Print Dress

 I love this print, perfect for a party with black ankle boots or for a Spring wedding.

2- CHEAP MONDAY / Vee Dress

This could be the perfect sexy LBD!

3- BEULAH / Silver Painted Lady

Wow, this dress is just beautiful and the type of dress you really would only wear once so how great that you can hire it. I’d wear it with the simplest silver or gold heels and keep the rest of the look simple.

4- BY MALENE BIRGER / Isalena Sequined Dress

By Malene Birger dresses (and clothes) are always so flattering and chic. I love super short dresses with long sleeves. The sleeves balance out the length!

5-  DIANE VON FURSTENBERG / Belted Lupe Summer Dress

A fab holiday/summer dress. I always pack an easy, versatile floral dress in my suitcase.
