My wardrobe sucks, sadly, along with my image, so I’m making some changes. I’d decided what I want to achieve so now it’s time to get on with it. To bring you up to speed I want to build a solid wardrobe of clothes that I love to wear, that I feel confident wearing and […]
Who Do You Want To Be Today?
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 […]
See The Change: Make A Plan

Accessories For Your Body Shape

Accessories are the finishing touches to an outfit. From the little extra bling that makes a simple outfit rock to […]
What To Wear: Tops For Broad Shoulders
I had a request from Trish regarding feminine tops to wear if you have broad shoulders and wanted to give her some examples and doing a post on the subject seemed the best way to do it. So thanks for the question Trish and here’s my answer. As always, if you’re not self conscious about […]
Classic Clothing: Nude Heels
The nude heel is a clothing classic and a wardrobe staple because a) it’s a classic look and b) it will go with practically everything. A nude heel is not a fawn coloured shoe, at least it’s not if your particular skin tone is not fawn. It’s called a nude heel because it matches, as […]
