Sneaky Peak at CHICA Photoshoot!!

So its been a busy time for us here at CHICA LAND. Photoshoots for lookbooks, magazines not to mention CHICA girl Nila's bands photoshoots!!

We decided it was about time to give you all a sneaky peak at one of our up coming magazine spreads with City and Angel Magazine. Jenny White who is the fabulous editor of the magazine was kind enough to let us take some of our own pics to show all of you guys a taster of the amazing dresses from the brilliant A/W collection that will be available next week.

The shoot was FUN, but long and by 10.30pm Nila who was our CHICA model was just about ready for bed. What a pro she was though, and looked so gorge in all the looks.
I myself was stylist for the day and can NOT wait for the issue to come out as we were all SOOO pleased with the final outcome! So make sure you check out the September issue of City and Angel Magazine!

LOVE!

All clothes that were used are part of the CHICA A/W collection and will be available in store and online at www.chicaboutiqueonline.com from the 1st September 2010.

Bev strikes again!

So casually flicking through my copy of OK and Star mag, as i do with my morning and much needed coffee and what do i stumble across....Beverley Knight in her gorgeous Bellisima dress from CHICA Boutique!

She still looks "oh so FAB" in it!

Also this week i have been lucky enough to take a sneak peek at CHICA Boutique's A/W collection which should be arriving in store within the next few weeks...actually trembling with excitement!!!

OMG girls it looks amazing.....some great shapes and patterns are coming your way in the form of the INGENUE collection which continues its aim to flatter all women no matter what shape or size.

We are high in the Fashion Charts!!!

Great news this week as Ingenue's gorgeous printed Cherie Dress is chosen in Grazia's 'Top 100 under £100 - High Summer Hits'. The Cherie Dress in Blue hit number 15 in the Chart and we sooooooo agree with the fashion mavens at Grazia!!!

As you already know we are huge fans of Ingenue's collection of day dresses and elegant maxi dresses. The current collection of high summer prints feature vibrant splashes of acid bright tones as well as soft digital printed lace prints means they have a dress for you whatever the occasion!

Irish Rugby Star Brian O'Driscoll married Actress and Author Amy Huberman last month and she chose Ingenue as the perfect dress for her wedding rehearsal. Her look was young, fun and effortlessly stylish. The Gulu Dress in Blue is just £75 and although it sold out it will be available online next week! So for everyone who missed out they're another chance to grab that bargain.

CHICA Girls night out!

Nila and the Raja's are not just any ordinary band, electrifying and exciting, watching Nila perform you can not help but enjoy, energise and join in the dancing!
An eclectic mix of Barbarella meets Grace Jones who's style is un-questionable and effortless, not afraid to test the boundaries is Nila and we LOVE it!

But i may be slightly biased, after all she is also a fellow CHICA Boutique girl by day. To celebrate her birthday in style this week myself and the other CHICA's went and supported/partied.....in honour of Nila at the bands gig which took place in Cafe 1001, Bricklane, London.

A fabulous night was had by all...some more than others but we are not girls to gossip......!

CHICA nights out are always fun and full of laughs, but even better when you are supporting one of your own!!

Don't just take my word for it though.....check out the band at www.myspace.com/nilaraja and find out when the next gig is, trust me fun will be had by all!

Nila Raja is clearly going to be a HUGE style icon of the future.....watch out she is on her way!!!

Time to Glam it up for the Grand Prix Ball!

Last night saw the most glamorous of celebrities stepping it up a notch and heading south of the river to the extremely prestigious Hurlingham Club located in Fulham.

The Annual Grand Prix Ball has become one of the highlights of the social season for many celebs, its definitely the place to be and be seen, especially when its held at the private members only club!

Soul singer superstar Beverley Knight in particular dazzled and stole the lime light in her fuchsia pink dress, a perfect compliment to her soft skin tone.
The Dress in question was from CHICA Boutique London, the ultimate glamorous girls shop. The Bellisima dress is also available in navy, black and white - the fuchsia pink was the perfect match for her.

Beverley, the multi-award winning singer, songwriter, producer and most recently record label owner will kick off a string of UK tour dates on the 15th July at Real Radio presents the MEN Arena's real big 15th Birthday in Manchester.

And I am sure she will be looking every bit as Glam as she did last night....we LOVE!

Maxi all the way!

With this recent unexpected heatwave that the country seems to be a part of, why not try cooling off in a different way. All celebrities on both sides of the pond are reaching for the Maxi during this gorgeous summer season. Both Rachel Bilson and Paris Hilton are HUGE fans!
Maxi dresses are a perfect day to evening item, especially during this weather, sandals and a straw panama hat for day, glam it up for the evening by simply adding some fierce stacked wedges...70's style and great statement bangles, necklace or earrings!

Why not go for a hippie vibe and try the amazing Mila Tyedye Pink or Pada Blue Feather effect. If you prefer slightly less print also available are block colours such as purple, blue, black, green and red!

If you really want to be daring why not vamp it up in the Mila Leopard print, a fab dress that teamed with the right accessories can just be a subtle burst of pattern and fun!

CHICA Boutique

So if you don't know about Chica boutique.....well its definately
worth a visit set amongst the electic mix of boutiques, restaurants,
one off hairdressers like Taylor & Taylor and Urban Hair, have a stroll
with your friends through the many stalls at the antiques market on a
thursday, the fashion & food markets that are held daily and the
famous Spitalfields Sunday Market....if you prefer heading on a more
relaxed Monday, shop in the feminine and friendly boutique until 7pm
and then pop into Bedales a fantastic wine bar next door which has an
amazing range of delicious wines to offer and then stroll to St Johns
Bread & Wine for one of their mouthwatering dishes.... Its definately
a fun place to shop with too much choice of great easy dresses, summer
sandals, or the high option too....a sophisticated headpiece for that
september wedding or some kick ass Gold jewellery from Lucas Jack....
there is a constant stream of new items in store so us girlies who
work there can't help but spend all our money ... at least it keeps us
away from the typical high street stores and running around Oxford
street like mad women on a saturday!

Exciting times on the way!

So bare with me, this blog situ is a knew one for my CHICA self, may take me a day or two to get the fabulousness ready!!

But be prepared as a CHICA revolution is on the way.....stand back Tavi we are hot on your heels!
