PERSONAL STYLIST TIPS: THE BASICS OF PERSONAL STYLING - HOW TO DISCOVER YOUR UNIQUE STYLE

Your unique style is something you can curate, enjoy and discover, with a few simple tips and insights. As a personal stylist myself, I have gone through a few style changes. When I was in Italy, in a fashion house, then when I became a Mum, following that when I launched my own business, and when I celebrated certain milestones. These may be moments for you where you feel you need to mould your wardrobe slightly, but that doesn’t mean your core unique personal style changes.

I’ll admit – I love heading into London, and while most of the time I am there at my studio helping clients, I sometimes get the opportunity to have some time for inspiration.

PERSONAL SHOPPER ADVICE: WHAT'S NEW THIS SEASON?

, ,

With February fast-approaching, this means Fashion Week is coming to London from the 17th – 21st February to showcase the Spring/Summer trends to look forward to.

With the catwalks filled with warm-weather looks, you may be wondering what new items may work in your current wardrobe that you may want to invest in.

While I work around the ethos of a sustainable and capsule-like wardrobe, there are sometimes seasonal pieces that certainly feel right to add to my wardrobe. As long as they work alongside at least 3 of my current outfits, and make me feel great (and will last!) then they are worth purchasing.

Being a considered shopper makes each season more exciting as you take a moment to consider if the pieces you quickly react to will have a long-term effect. This is one thing to bring into your mindset each time you go shopping – give yourself the time to question if you have pieces that work with that garment, or if you love it enough to make some!

With this in your mind, let’s share a few of the new season favourites I have found.
