Style your shape and look fabulous
The first rule of style is fit: you cannot be stylish is if your clothes don’t fit, whatever your size. And more important than that, regardless of your size or shape you deserve to wear clothes that are comfortable. I’m not a person who subscribes to the whole “you’re fat, oh my god, cover it [...]
I have fat thighs. In fact my whole leg is pretty chunky, although I do have fairly defined ankles. When I was younger it used to upset me tremendously but nowadays I think, ngh, so what. That’s who I am and it’s far more beneficial to accept myself as I than it is to stress [...]
Who Do You Want to Be Today? is a book by Trinny & Susannah. A book about style. Specifically different types of styles. This is not a new concept, not by a long shot. In fact any image consultant will tell you that defining your style is one of the first steps to changing your [...]

I’ve tried to concentrate of things that we unintentionally wear not realizing the effect they will have, so I haven’t mentioned the obvious things like a downy parka or a thick knit sweater – because, well, duh! Weed these things that will make [...]
So now that we know what to avoid if over 40 what should we be doing? I’m 39 and until quite recently I used to borrow clothes out of my teenage daughters wardrobe. I’ve always loved clothes but was ‘too fat’ to have them myself so bought for my baby instead. It never occured to [...]
I’ve been doing a little research and here is a list of seven things any women over the age of 40 should keep in mind when selecting a wardrobe. 1.
