What To Wear This Spring – Summer
It's always exciting when new season clothes start to drop but, before you put together your spring-summer wish list, I recommend that you “shop your wardrobe”; in other words, take stock of what you already have and identify any gaps.

Key Trends for Autumn – Winter 2023
“Buy less, choose well, make it last”
Wise words from Vivienne Westwood which increasing numbers of us are buying into. Rather than blindly embracing fast fashion and acquiring ever more clothes, my clients are more interested in building a curated wardrobe of outfits that they look and feel their best in.
Fortunately, the fashion world seems to be buying in to this ap...

Quiet Luxury
The quiet luxury (also known as stealth wealth) trend has been bubbling for a while now but has really come to the fore since Gwyneth Paltrow’s court appearances where she wore a succession of low-key but highly expensive outfits which exemplified the look.

Key Trends for This Autumn-Winter
Thankfully, fashion has slowed down a bit over recent years. With the growing realisation of the harm throwaway fashion does to the environment, there has been a move to a more sustainable approach to dressing, not just in terms of the way that garments are manufactured but also in terms of getting more wear out of what we already have in our wardrobes rather than constantl...

Fab At Fifty & Beyond
Style and beauty are not just the prerogative of the young. There is absolutely no reason why a woman well into her fifties, sixties, seventies and beyond cannot look attractive and stylish. But, whereas the young may manage to pull off some dubious fashion choices, we grown-ups need to dress with a little more care. Fortunately we have good sense and experience ...

What to Wear this Autumn-Winter
This month’s blog was originally going to be an in-depth look at the key trends for Autumn-Winter, but then I got to thinking about what really interests the women I work with; looking and feeling good, rather than slavishly following fashion. Of course, they want to look current but they’re less interested in what’s “in” for a particular season and more interested in what work...

Style Tips for Mature Women
I know that when we reach a certain age, some women start to feel invisible and lose their sense of identity. Even those who were previously confident in their choices, can start to doubt themselves and feel that they've lost sight of their personal style.

Help! I Don’t Know What To Wear!
As we finally begin to emerge from lockdown and start to contemplate returning to the office, dining out, trips to the theatre and generally having a social life (remember those days?), I know that some of us are feeling that we’ve lost our sense of direction when it comes to knowing how to dress. After months of loungewear or top-half only dressing for Zoom, we...
