Personal Stylists

Have you even wondered why some people just look put together?  Some people have the knack of just knowing what looks great and other hire a Personal Stylist to do it for them.

We all know the saying "You have 30 second to make a first impression"; so who wouldn't want to look great. 

Personal Stylists know how to make your first impression count!  They know how to make you look the best by knowing how to dress different body shapes; they know how to hide our parts that we don't like and make the most of our best assets. They also know what colour are best suited to our colourings.

I have just spent three days on the course to increase my knowledge about Personal Styling, where I met some fantastic like minds.  Watch this space!

Witchery 8 Fourteen

Introducing Witchery's new range for 8 -14 year olds.

Somethings are worth it.

My friend and I disappeared from her leaving party to check out the Burberry Outlet at DFO South Wharf. 

I tried on a Satin Silk full skirt black trench, and a great blazer with shoulder detail.

Will have to go back again when I have more time.

Just a thought

Trench Coats

The shops think it is time to start thinking about the autumn / winter season even though it is a few months away.

One of my favourite trans-seasonal pieces is the trench coat; an ever stylish versatile piece. 

If you take a peak in my wardrobe you will see that I have a soft spot for them and currently have two black, one tan, one red, one navy with spots and a black with a geometric pattern. Here is my latest from Banana Republic.

Here are some guidelines to purchasing a trench:

Think about your height; if you are short look at coats are shorter in length ending above the hips.  Like this David Lawrence trench.

Think about your shape; if you are curvy a trench that ends mid thigh will be the most flattering. If you need to create curves look for ones with a frill to give you the illusion of curves. Like this Burberry Trench (couldn't have a blog about trench coats without mentioning Burberry).

Think about colour; black is not always the most flattering colour for most of us.  A coloured trench can add some interest to the dull winter wardrobe we often wear. David Lawrence have lovely green trench coming out for Winter, Banana Republic have a bright pink version and there will always be red (like this one from http://www.asos.com/).
