Wear the right size clothes. Don’t worry about the number, you will never look slimmer in clothes that are too baggy or too tight. Clothing that is slightly tailored, will be much more flattering than loose baggy styles. Be prepared to make alterations to your outfits if necessary. Choose fabrics that have some firmness to them, so your clothing doesn’t…
Pants Pants need to be slightly tailored with straight or slightly flared hems with a bit of stretch for comfort and fit. Avoid side pockets, tucks, and pockets on the legs. Keep them well fitting and plain, so they don’t draw any attention. Wear them over your shoes so your legs look longer. Choosing fabric with a bit of stretch…
Your body is characterised by a slim torso, bust and waist with larger hip, thighs and bottom. Your focus needs to be on creating balance. The key strategy here is to draw attention upward. Slim fitted tops, button down shirts and cardigans, embellished necklines, interesting collars, bright colour and print on your top half will achieve this. Of course eye-catching…
These are the pantone fashion clours for this winter. There are some brights along with 4 great neutrals. Winters will have fun with the Mykonos Blue, Leprechaun Green and Fuchsia Fedora. Summers may be able to find versions of these that are a bit softer. I’ve seen plenty of the green and illuminating yellow in the shops. Remember to try…
What is Style? Have you ever seen someone who just looked brilliantly put together and seemed to command yours and everyone else’s attention? I’m not talking about a beautiful looking person – someone in expensive clothes, or the latest fashion, but a look where the whole package, every detail just looked right. You may have found yourself taking another glance…
Colour can be your best friend or worst enemy. Understanding colour and which are most flattering on you is at the heart of looking your best. Colour affects you a lot more than you may realise. It influences your choices, what you trust and are suspicious of and what you find attractive and off-putting. But can you imagine a world…
Very few of us have a perfectly proportioned body that can wear anything. Instead we have to learn how to make the most of the body we have by disguising its faults, tricking the eye, and highlighting our best features to create balance and harmony. Much of this is common sense. A long thin face is not going to be…
Here we are half way through spring and if you haven’t already noticed, these are the colours for Spring/Summer 2017. There should be something for everyone here. I love the blues and the Pink Yarrow, I can see all of them with the Hazelnut for a sophisticated mix. That Flame is great with the Greenery, but not colours I can…
Take a deep Breathe, this is going to be worth it. Firstly, remove the clothes that don’t fit (even if you plan on getting back into them, they are in the way right now). Remove any items you never wear, and anything that is worn or torn – you need a few old items for painting, spring cleaning and the…
We’re off to The Whitsundays sailing on a 41 foot catamaran around Easter time. It is going to be amazing. There’s nothing like sleeping on a boat in a sheltered harbour. The gentle rocking is very relaxing and soothing. During the day we will be snorkelling and exploring the islands, as well as just cooling off in the water and…
