With most of
us still working from home and our socialising limited, we are donning more
lounge wear and casual clothing.
Here are a
few summer essentials to brighten up your wardrobe this season:
Florals
Floras are synonymous with summer; liven up your wardrobe with a beautifully multi-coloured floral dress. They are easy breezy and perfect on a hot summer’s day.
Sandals!
Hands up if you haven’t worn heels in ages since lockdown!!
These white thong sandals are a comfortable and versatile addition to your summer footwear.
T-shirt
If you are anything like me, you have probably attended many Zoom parties during lock down. A statement t-shirt is a fun creative piece for your weekend wardrobe this season.
Cotton Bottoms
Cargo pants are super cool casuals and can be paired easily with a t-shirt this summer.
Cotton top!
A breathable cotton top is an essential for your working-at-home attire. This gorgeous yellow top is ideal for those virtual work meetings.
White Trainers!
Nothing beats a fresh pair of white trainers in the sunshine. They are timeless casual additions you’ll love and wear!
The one thing I’ve been asked most during this lock-down, is how to declutter your wardrobe while #stayingathome. Now’s a great time to show your wardrobe some TLC by detoxing it.
Without further ado, here are my top tips of how to efficiently declutter your wardrobe:
Bring out all your Spring/Summer clothes, shoes and accessories.
You’re going to need to be objective and
very decisive when reviewing your wardrobe.
Ask yourself a few questions:
Do you like the item of clothing, shoes,
accessories? Does it fit and flatter you? If the clothes are more than 1 size
too big or small, please release them. (Holding onto clothes that don’t fit
you, does nothing for your self-esteem)
Hello! Hope you are keeping safe and healthy
during this pandemic….
With
our world in disarray, there is no better time to do whatever we can to stay
positive: mind, soul and body
Most
of us are working from home, except our medical heroes & frontline staff serving
us and working to mitigate the effects of #COVID-19
As
we are currently #socialdistancing, I thought to share a few practical styling
tips that will brighten your day and lift your mood:
Wear colour at home– As Spring is upon us,
wear bright beautiful colours! Colour is proven to lift our mood and make us
happy.
Comfort is king– Wear soft breathable
fabrics like wool, organic cotton, etc. that will keep you comfortable all day
long! Avoid leather, polyester or any synthetic fabrics.
A set of co-ord loungewear is ideal for many of us attending virtual meetings. They are easy to wear, stylish and comfortable, so bag yourself a knitted co-ord set or beautiful matching pyjamas-style set.
Due to social distancing guidelines, I will be working remotely
to facilitate virtual style consultations. I’m happy to have a FREE 20
minute chat with you or your friends via Skype or Zoom, if you’d like style
advise or you are considering personal styling for Summer 2020
Yves
Saint Laurent said it best: “Fashion fades, style is eternal!”
With that in mind, I have some practical style tips that will help you confidently create a timeless style that lasts a decade:
10 years in Style!
Embrace your Uniqueness.
You are unique; that is your power!
We live in a social media age where everyone is trying to
look the same, but true beauty is being authentically you. Our quirks make us
interesting. How boring would it be if we all looked the same? Accept yourself
‘flaws and all’ because perfection is a myth. Bin comparison this decade and
remember; the beauty of YOU is that no one is like you; so, embrace YOU.
The Power of Colour
Wearing colour not only lifts your mood, it adds a
beautiful natural glow to your face. Steer clear of wearing dark dreary hues that
drain the colour from your face. There is a rainbow of beautiful colours that
will brighten and lift your face naturally. This decade wear more colour! I
promise you will look and feel better.
(To find out your best colours, have your Colours Analysed for just £99)
Body Beautiful
With the rise in cosmetic surgery and body ’enhancements’, there
is no better time to swim against the tide and love the skin we are in. Whether
you are a size 8 or 18, tall, petite, athletic, pear shaped, or curvy, you are
beautiful! I have styled over three thousand people in over 12 years as a personal
stylist and I am yet to meet a client I can’t style and help set on a journey
of body confidence. Dressing confidently is about understanding your bodyshape
and styling it in clothes that flatter and accentuate your shape. Truth is, none of us will be how we were 20,
30 years ago or like celebrities who have assistance at their disposal. Accept
and love your body as you are now. I hope the next time you look in the mirror you
see how truly and uniquely beautiful you are.
Release!
Marie Kondo – tidying expert and author – encourages us to
let go of anything that doesn’t spark joy. I’d like to add to that list: Let go
of anything you haven’t worn in two years. Let go of anything that doesn’t fit
or flatter you. Release clothes, shoes and accessories that no longer serve a
purpose in your current lifestyle. That dress you wore when you were two sizes
smaller does nothing for your confidence, so let it go! Let go of the past and
embrace who you are today. We hold on to so much stuff that clutters our
wardrobe taking up precious space, release them. Our body is the only house we live in permanently.
It’s so important you clothe yourself in pieces that serve you and lift your spirit.
Let go and release anything that doesn’t. Less is truly more!
(To have your wardrobe decluttered, book a Wardrobe Detox consultation today)
Invest.
True style is timeless. Invest in quality pieces you can
wear for at least 5 to 10 years. Durable pieces you can wear again and again
that don’t date or fall apart.
Timeless pieces are kinder to the environment, because when
you buy well, you buy less; which increases the cost per wear.
Avoid fast fashion, its disposable and the quality and
manufacturing isn’t kind.
This decade I encourage you to; Invest in yourself – Invest in your style.

a personalised style that lasts a decade, contact us today!
I hope the Christmas and the festive season brought you lots of Joy and fun!

brand spanking new decade is a great opportunity to start well, try something
new and continue in a progressive manner throughout the year.

Plan ahead!
Review and think about your current Winter wardrobe.

list!
Once you’re through
with your planning session which highlights what key items need to be

In recent years, the UK has emulated many “traditions” from our American “cousins”: such as Halloween, Black Friday and now Small Business Saturday. Of these, my favourite is Small Business Saturday which takes place tomorrow 7th of December 2019 across the country. It’s an amazing initiative that encourages consumers to support small, local and independent businesses. It’s also the busiest shopping weekend of the year!

We are fast approaching Christmas, and now is a great time
to get your festive outfits ready so you are fully prepared for those social
events.
Here are my top 5 festive dresses that will see you through
all Christmas and New year festivities:
1. Day Dress
There is so much to do in the run up to Christmas, from school
plays, carol services to Christmas shopping. A flattering day dress is the
perfect antidote for such busy days.
Go for a casual knitted dress during the day. They are super
versatile and comfortable. You can dress them down in flat boots as you run
around doing your Christmas shopping and dress them up in heeled boots for smarter
evening events. Either way you’ll look effortlessly stylish and feel warm in a
knitted day dress.
2. Christmas Day Dress
Your Christmas day dress serves many purposes! It needs to be
comfortable, special and practical. Avoid bellowing flute sleeves, we don’t
want the gravy all over you. Christmas day is a long day, so something easy to
wear and expandable is ideal.
A soft velvet dress with a stretchy waste is perfect to
ensure you feel special capturing precious moments with your family, and comfortable
once you’ve over indulged in all those delicious festive delicacies.
3. Party Dress.
This dress must me fun! A sparkly dress with sequin or glitter
is perfect. It may sound like a dress for a 5-year-old girl, but every woman irrespective
of her age deserves to have fun with her clothes and feel youthful. Steer clear
of prints and anything too dark and dreary, remember Its a party! 😉
4. Drinks, Cocktail and Dinner Dress
Go elegant for festive drinks, cocktails and dinner. Satins,
silk, lace and velvet are luxe fabrics that ooze sophistication and elegance.
Opt for midi or knee length dresses to show off those pins sensually.
5. Desk to Dinner Party Dress
This season is all about, suiting and separates. Be brave in
a tailored suit or chic jumpsuit. Dare to be unconventional!
