Today I’m really excited to be sharing the stylish thoughts of Mette from Denmark who writes the blog The Yogastic Shopping Planner and who is also one of my Evolve Your Style members. How would you describe your personal style? My style is flirty, unexpected, current, genuine, ornate and fun! With a dash of bad-ass…
One of the things I enjoy most with my Evolve Your Style and 7 Steps to Style programs is watching women discover what they love and style recipes as they work through the information. To me this is the most important elements is finding what really suits you, beyond the body shape stuff. Now the…
Casual Sunday in a Verily knit dress with a denim jacket. How gorgeous is this necklace? It’s lace! (close up coming soon) I got it off the Etsy Epuu which I wore with my cobalt blue target skirt and cami, and shrug from Jigsaw. Coolish day today and had a networking lunch to attend, so…
While out and about in my local mall the other day I walked past this display in one of our high street fashion stores. It struck me that the designers paid no attention to the wishes and desires of many of their customers when choosing to create this skirt. So often we hear in the…
As you may remember, rather than a list of New Year’s Resolutions I like to choose a word theme for each year, as a reminder of my overall goals and it also helps when looking at opportunities to decide if it’s something I should say yes or no to. It must fit with my word.…
Today I’m excited to share with you the Stylish Thoughts of Melbourne based mum and blogger Bron of Flat Bum Mum What is the secret to great style? I believe that great style doesn’t have to be expensive but it has to be you. No point wearing the latest fashions if they just don’t suit…
Pantone have just released their Autumn/Winter 2015 colour forecast so I wanted to share it with you. What’s interesting is that we’re moving away from the brighter colours of the past few years, the bright orange, emerald and cobalt and towards a more muted palette which is great for many people who find the bright…
Another stinking hot summers day. Meeting with the Nuffnang Bloggerati called for a cool silk Boo Radley dress and jewelled sandals. Playing with colour, navy my base and then some teal and hot pink as accents. Doing a colour consultation meant that I didn’t want to be wearing lots of colour, so I opted for…
There are well over 50 shades of grey, probably thousands of them which is why grey can be one of the hardest colours to match as there are so many versions of it. There are two ways of making grey – by combining black and white (this is the easy way, and it’s easy to…
So what do you wear on a date? It can be a particularly vexing question for many women, particularly if it’s with someone new or newish. We don’t want to get it wrong – either seem too forward or too uninterested. Given that it’s Valentines day in a few days, I thought I’d give you…
Here in this short video, I share with you my tips on mastering the half-tuck.
I often get asked about the best shape garments for each body shape. So I thought I’d create this infographic for you to give you a simple set of guidelines. When thinking about shapes for each body shape, we are usually wanting to create the hourglass shape or the idea of two triangles stacked on…
So you’ve got a bunch of black items in your wardrobe that you can’t afford to get rid of (or just don’t want to), but you know that black isn’t the most flattering colour on you. How do you get your wear out of them and make them work? Here are my top 3 tips…
It’s been cool this week in Melbourne (even though it’s supposed to be the height of summer) so I’ve been back in jeans (Witchery) and long sleeves (blouse was from Portmans). Wearing my new Izoa Australia Eye necklaces which I love! An Eye for an I(mogen). Another cool day which required layers. Wearing Metalicus leggings…

Have you written an article yet on colour coordinating for us deep dominant folk especially for summer style? So you have naturally deeper/darker colouring, but in summer you don’t want to be wearing all those dark winter colours, so how do you choose the lighter colours that will work best for you? Firstly consider your…
Many women like to feel comfortable in their clothes. For some, comfort is their number one driver when dressing (and sometimes it shows, as often comfortable translates to sloppy). So how can feel comfortable but look stylish at the same time? Well as you’re about to see with these 10 outfits I’ve put together, comfort…
Your eyes are one of the features that I think is important to highlight every time you get dressed. They are at the centre of your communication centre (that’s a fancy term for your face). If people are drawn to looking at your eyes, they don’t notice much else about your body and are certainly…
My kids started back at school a couple of days ago, one started high school (how can that be? I’m not old enough to have a child in high school!) and the other in 4th grade. Now as a professional image consultant I have to be particularly wary about what I wear to school, as…
A short neck is one that is less than one of your own hand widths wide (check out this post). Sometimes a wider neck (we assume proportionally you are around 3 necks wide, from shoulder to shoulder) can also look shorter. If you have a shorter neck and find that you are stumped at how…
I have a question about palazzo pants. I am an A/X and have long, narrow torso and very short legs (and I am not tall either, 5’4′); I know flare pants are recommended for my figure type, but I was wondering if the billowy palazzo style would be too much and make me look even…
