The kids are back at school. I have to admit as much as I love them. It’s so hard to get my style quite right. Most importantly in this time I fall back to my safe method of teaming good cuts that suit my shape with layers and accessories that are practical and I know work. This at least makes me feel good about myself, even though I hardly think about myself (you know the feeling). Do you have a method?
I think back to when the girls were really little and my body was not really the one I knew anymore.
This is why I started thinking about what really suited me and found my own style,rather than following one- off trends. The trends of course we do follow a little because of what is available to us in the shops, but I know the basic guidelines to my shape, with extra weight or less.
Do you need help with this?

This is a lovely coat for the quality, price and classic style that will last for a long time. You could make it look different by adding a furry shawl, different scarves, a variation of belts and footwear.

Another way to update your wardrobe especially when you are bored with the appearance of a skirt or dress is to buy an interesting pair of tights. Lace, two tone or metallic?
Plus socks that can be worn with your cropped trousers and heels now as it getting colder.
Just look at all the colours!

This shop is in the Kings Road

For anyone that likes cashmere and has never been to Uniqlo, please go into your nearest bigger shop. They have got some great cashmere knits, whether you suit a shorter fit or a longer baggier style! Plus lots of colours. I actually bought a few and added some gorgeous sequinned butterflies and shoulder detailing for a knit with different. They look great and it feels good to be creative.

Oh my godness! It is actually getting cold out there now and so grey! Please my lovely ladies, can we add some more colour to our grey world. It is not that difficult and don’t you think we need it in this environment we are living in at present(do not worry I am not going into that direction)!
Okay, so how you ask me? Well, have you ever heard of block colouring. These are blocks of colour and can be various pieces of clothing, but also for those whom do not suit brights…well accessorizies. It is easy, you could wear a simple grey(boring) outfit, but add a bright red pair of shoes or what about a colour paired of tights (of course only for those with good legs, look at TABIO tights), a necklace or scarf or a fun watch(Toy Stop).
Has anyone seen the crowds of people walking through Oxford Circus, not one bite of colour. I think adding colour to grey( think orange or purple or a vibrant blue) or brown (purple or a strong green) or black (red) could really affect how we feel in ourselves and how others are attracted to us.
Why not clash colurs if you are so daring like orange with purple or blue, or red with purple!? I have to say everytime I wear these fabulous bright blue TABIO tights with an orange dress I have from COS, people really stare and I get people just talking to me, you know a nice chat sort of way. I know you do not all have the guts to put this together, but as I said it can be small pieces.
I find a lot of woman with tiny waist focus so much on their impecfections, they never realize that by highlighting their female beautiful curves, like with bright coloured stunning waisted belt. So easy and affective!!!!
Please give it a shot!
Let’s brighten up this grey winter!
