How to update your style
I don’t care much for fashion, but I DO care very much about how a woman feels in the clothes she wears. I also know that it’s all too common for women of any age to suddenly decide that they are dressing too ‘young’ and start playing it (too) safe. ‘Playing it safe’...
The Day I Ditched The Belt
As the upbeat music bounced around the mirror clad walls of the dance studio, my eyes drank in the rainbow of colours reflecting back at me. A dozen young girls, moving our bodies in a practised routine, wearing shiny leotards in all manner of cheery colours. Once...
Having great clothes isn’t enough to look and feel stylish
January is typically a time for starting new habits. And here’s one I’d like to encourage you to adopt. Over the last 10 ½ years, I’ve worked with A LOT of wonderful women. This means I’ve been in a LOT of wardrobes and seen a LOT of items of clothing. One thing that...
10 things I’ve learnt in my 10 years in business as an Image Consultant
si. I launched my image business on a very hot sunny day on 1st July 2009. My boys were just 2 and 4 and I was SO nervous and excited about starting up my very own business. I held a garden party, invited 10 local friends and asked them all to bring someone I didn’t...
I Bought An All Saints Dress I Didn’t Need

The Most Attractive Woman At The Beach Club
I’ve recently returned from a blissful few days away in Mallorca. Stepping away from your every-day life and much-loved family for ‘5 minutes’ can have a transformational effect on your mind, I find. I try to do it at least once a year.
This year (as usual) my friend and I spent a lot of time people watching. It’s one of our most favourite things to do.
Our best spot for people watching and clothes analysing was the beach club. This is where a favourite theory of mine was proven once again.
Is creating your own ‘uniform’ the secret to style confidence?
Recently, I read with interest an article in Harpers Bazaar magazine, featuring an art director (Matilda), who was tired of making ‘what-to-wear’ decisions on a daily basis. The worry of what to wear felt like a tremendous waste of time and too much stress. But is a strict uniform the answer?
Lights, Camera, Action!
Everyone is at it! Vlogging, recording videos, doing Facebook Live sessions and creating online programs. If you are running your own business, showing your face and your voice to your audience is where it’s at right now and this trend seems set to stay. If you...
Behind the Scenes at a Transformation Day
The first step that most clients take when we work together on their personal style is a Transformation Day. I know, from talking to these clients, that it can sometimes be a bit intimidating to come along, without having a really clear idea of what’s going to happen....
