Spring/Summer 2022 trends have come in and one of the top trends is the use of green. Green is a great colour, as not only is it a colour that feels fresh and springlike, it is also available in a variety of tones so can work for any skintone, as long as you find the right shade.
If you want to add this colour to your wardrobe and ensure that you pick up the perfect shade for your skintone, here are my top picks for you depending on the season you fall into.
Understanding our body shape is crucial if we want to feel more confident with what we wear. Apart from the shape and the proportions of our body though, it is absolutely important to consider how to dress all the individual parts of your body, rather than the entire body all at once. One of the first things I do with clients is to determine their features, so if they are angular or curvy, some people might have a mix and so be interjacent. So how do you know which one you are? I share my advice in this article.
When we go into the world of work, parenting, career moves, or want to feel more professional and confident, it can be a bit challenging.

So, if you want to dress for a meeting, a new job, or simply to feel a little more powerful & confident in your outfits, here are my tips!
As a personal stylist, colour is one of the most important parts of my work with my clients. Colour can completely transform how our skin looks in dramatic ways, and I use my colour analysis service to do this for my clients. We work together to discover their seasons, and the colours that they can gravitate towards to help them feel their best whenever they next go shopping. I wanted to share a few insights into the colour analysis method, and help you dip your toe into discovering the colours that best suit you, but of course, if you’d like to have the knowledge of the colours that help you feel most confident, I’d be delighted to help.
When we think about personal styling we immediately think of what we wear outside, but underwear, especially for women, is actually a very important part of personal style.
What we wear outside, and the way we wear it, is definitely connected to our lingerie: from what makes us feel comfortable, to the right shape and size (both for our bra and pants), to the right style to wear with some specific clothes, the research of the right underwear is all but easy, regardless of our body shape and size.
And, just like for clothing, there is a personality component too, that affects our choices.
There are indeed specific rules about fit, alongside many different styles and shapes, and they all effect not just our comfort, but also our confidence and appearance.
In this article I talk about my own personal experience with lingerie stylist Monica Harringdon.
Jeans – they’re an essential part of most of our wardrobes, but when it comes to the styles we can wear, they are countless. Cropped jeans are one of the styles of jeans[A1] that is a more recent trend after years of skinny shapes dominating the fashion world, but can be tricky to style.

One big struggle for many of my clients is knitwear and layering: it's easy to dress up in summer, with a dress and a jacket to feel sexy, cool, and confident. But in winter, when it's cold and you need to wear layers, it gets a little difficult.
A blazer or leather jacket is not something easy to wear under a coat, while a cosy jumper could be much better, but it may feel a little too casual to wear in the evening or to the office.
We need to stay warm, but feel confident and professional, so I wanted to share the different kinds of knitwear that are on trend this winter, how to layer with confidence, and how to stay professional while keeping warm!
