Anouska G Trunk Show 7th - 14th July 2012

Miss Bush is full of deeply desirable dresses. Dresses that makes you breathe slightly shallower, your pulse quicken. Intoxicating, seductive gowns that steal your heart and make your money burn a hole in your pocket.

This passion, this heady rush is hard to find in dresses that could be called a bargain. I also know my view of a bargain is coloured by being situated 17 miles south west of Fulham in a village that's parking bays look like a Top Gear porn-fest some days.

In Anouska G, London based Anna and George Hadji's label, I believe I have found a rare combination of unique, head turning, wow-inducing dresses that start from £1000. In the same way that carefully edited Maggie Sottero produces a surprising affordability, Anouska G offers serious red carpet style that easily fits within Miss Bush brides taste and purse.

From the 7th - 14th July I am holding a mini Trunk Show. George and Anna are loaning Miss Bush beautiful dresses that have yet to hit the rails for you to try and buy.

Look out for special offers on my favourite style blogs too...

Bush Telegraph 2013 is coming...

Whilst you youngsters are counting your wedding invitations, trying to deduce the myriad of themes, styles and dresses from the typography,  purveyors of fine frocks like myself are drawing a line under 2012 and looking forward to 2013.

I know whether your friends are channelling handmade or haute, rustic or riche, minimal or mahoosive. The dresses are ordered and are sweeping in on waves of glamour, racked like beautiful marionettes waiting to be woken. The fittings diary is booked and Senior Bush's workaholism is off and running.

As I am manually talentless I take no part in the physical pinning and sewing of dresses. I am very happy to join my brides in a fitting with the seamstresses and chip in with useful comments. Oh how Senior Bush and the girls love that...

Precisely what do I do at this time of year? Frankly, I don't think I can remember a time with so many girls shopping early for 2013,  conducting  appointments. The urge to shop is irresistable I know but literally this week has been the first week I have received any new 2013 dresses.

The first is from Anouska G - Elenore. I have been hunting for accessibly priced Packham-esque dresses. Jenny Packham's haute couture standards are never a budget option so this London based label really appealed - this dress has a SRP of £1200.

The second dress to arrive was an absolute beauty - it happened to arrive at the same time as Charlotte and Adam from Rock My Wedding though. The beautiful Brummies were on a scouting party (think Tusken Raider) and they swiped a new dress out of the box!

The dress, were it in the shop, looks like this....

This is the romanatically named 2205 by Tara Keely - very classic, very wearable and SRP of circa £2000.

Clearly the team from Rock My Wedding were just casing the joint when they attended our Postcard from New York event. Check out the paparazzi pictures and approach this group with extreme caution - they WILL make you stylish...
