How Many Pairs of Shoes do You Own?

Stylish ThoughtsBy Imogen LamportNovember 9, 201030 Comments

I was talking to my Professional Organiser friend Angela and she was telling me that she’d done a quick survey at a workshop she ran about how many shoes and handbags each of the participant owned.  Her group averaged 55 pairs. I often find amongst my clients there are varying numbers, from 3 or 4…

Body Shapes Explained – Defining Points

Body ShapesBy Imogen LamportNovember 2, 201045 Comments

I was asked the other day by a reader where are the defining points to figure out body shape. How to Define Your Body Shape Is it bust, waist and hips, shoulders waist and hips and where are the hips defined from – the thigh or up on the buttock area? For me (and I’m sure there…

What Does Your Partner Think About You Wearing Makeup?

Beauty, MakeupBy Imogen LamportOctober 31, 201016 Comments

Do you wear makeup?  A lot? A little? Everyday? Only to work? Never at work but on the weekend?  Only going out somewhere special? My ex-husband would have preferred I wore no makeup.  He said he liked to see the face that he got to wake up to each morning.  I once worked with a…

Guest Post – Real Life Dressing a Figure 8 Shape

Body ShapesBy Imogen LamportOctober 27, 201052 Comments

I get so many requests about how to dress 8 shape bodies, probably because they are so ignored by most image and style books. So I asked Aileen Lane of Nutri-Style in Singapore, who is an 8 shape if she’d share her experiences with you on how she dresses her shape. Here is her post:…

Glasses – Jewellery for the Face

Accessories, Personal Style, Style TipsBy Imogen LamportOctober 26, 20109 Comments

Tania Many people wear eye glasses, but how many people really take the opportunity to find a frame that expresses their personality, that are not just practical, but are jewellery for the face? Irene While I was in Manila, I met a lovely image consultant Irene, who had a selection of fabulous frames, and I…

Co-ordinating Jewellery to Necklines

AccessoriesBy Imogen LamportOctober 22, 20108 Comments

If the face is the ‘communication centre’ it’s really important to think about how to draw attention there. Finishing off getting dressed so that you look ‘put together’ and stylish is helped immensely by what happens above the bust as it is close to the face. Using a piece of jewellery in this area or…

Colours to coordinate with camel and beige

Co-ordinating Camel

Colour, Reader Questions, Wearing ColourBy Imogen LamportOctober 20, 201016 Comments

Hi, when you have chance could you address how to wear the colour Camel? It was all over the runways (especially at Chloe) but I’m not sure it would work that well for me as a colour (My colouring is Clear and Warm). What are hip ways to wear Camel with other colours? I have…

Where to End Your Tops

Body Shapes, Style Tips, VideosBy Imogen LamportOctober 19, 201016 Comments

People always ask me where the best point is to end their tops and jackets. As the hem of a top creates a horizontal line, the best place is on a narrow point, rather than a wide point. If you are a body shape that has wider hips/thighs than waist, A, X, H, 8 (or…

How to Make Your Own Tinted Moisturiser

Beauty, MakeupBy Imogen LamportOctober 6, 20106 Comments

When I was away recently a few times I wanted a tinted moisturiser, and of course I didn’t take one with me, and I often find it hard to find the right shade of tinted moisturiser for my skin anyway.  Then I remembered the old trick of mixing in equal portions your regular moisturiser with…

Skills that are Out of Fashion

About ImogenBy Imogen LamportSeptember 16, 201025 Comments

Ok, there isn’t much style advice in this post, and I’ve no idea why I’ve been thinking about this recently, but for some reason I keep thinking of skills that I’ve acquired over my life that are now either out of fashion (see got a style word in there) or just no longer useful. 1.…

Buttercup not Butterball – Adding a Pop of Yellow

Colour, Fashion TrendsBy Imogen LamportSeptember 14, 20106 Comments

Duchesse made me laugh when she said that she wouldn’t be adding yellow to her wardrobe as she said she’d look more like a butterball than a buttercup. So for those of us who don’t normally wear yellow like Lorrwill and may otherwise shun this sunny trend, here are some options that you may consider,…

How to Flatter Sturdy Calves

Body VariationsBy Imogen LamportSeptember 9, 20108 Comments

I have a friend who has sturdy calves, she is so embarrassed by them she won’t wear a skirt, and suffers through our hot, hot summers in pants every day. Sure, you can do that, and pants and jeans are an easy way to cover up your calves, but why not think about some alternatives.…
