Lifestyle, OutfitsBy Imogen LamportOctober 31, 20159 Comments

I totally dug Sally’s post on saying “Yes and …” and decided that I’d make it a theme for this weekend’s recommended reading roundup. So why not take her advice and then use the following blog posts as inspiration for an outfit or two over the next week. Please do share which you’re going to…

New York – Upper West Side

Travel and PackingBy Imogen LamportOctober 22, 20153 Comments

When I was in New York in August we stayed on the Upper West Side – 77th St and I have to say it was a great location.  It’s quiet and quaint with lots of gothic architecture, and there are heaps of places to eat and you are close to Central Park and also the Hudson…

Gain a better body image by being careful with your self-talk

Why You Must Be So Careful About Your Self-Talk

Beauty, WellbeingBy Imogen LamportOctober 20, 201511 Comments

How do you talk to your body? What you don’t think you talk to it? I can bet that you do. We have conversations with ourselves all the time and sadly, most women have negative conversations with their body the majority of the time. What are the common things your body hears you say? You’re…

New York – Lower West Side

Travel and PackingBy Imogen LamportOctober 5, 20156 Comments

Another great area to visit in New York is the Lower West Side. Have your walking shoes on because you’ll be covering lots of ground, and walk off the main roads to enjoy the local ambiance. This part of New York is very different from mid-town and many other areas. It really does have it’s…

New York – Upper East Side

Travel and PackingBy Imogen LamportSeptember 28, 20156 Comments

Given that there is just so much to cover from my recent trip to New York, I have decided to regionalise my travels and share where I went and what I saw. First up, the Upper East Side of New York. Top of the Rock – Rockefeller Centre A modern Art Deco style building. This…

My AICI Conference in Washington DC

Travel and PackingBy Imogen LamportSeptember 17, 20157 Comments

As you may be aware I recently spent a couple of weeks in the USA (more trip posts coming soon) and I’ve been asked to share some of my highlights of my professional association the AICI’s Conference in Washington DC, which was the original purpose of my trip (I just like to add a little…

What to See in Central Park New York

Travel and PackingBy Imogen LamportSeptember 5, 20157 Comments

On your list of what to see in New York must be Central Park. It’s more than just your average park. Way more. Not only can you join the throngs of joggers on the winding roads, you can stroll for hours around the paths, discovering many delights as you turn each corner.   We spent…

Why do we fear getting compliments over our appearance?

Why Are We So Worried About Dressing Up and Getting Compliments?

WellbeingBy Imogen LamportAugust 24, 201514 Comments

Why Are We So Worried about Dressing Up? Are you worried that if you change your style or dress more stylishly you will get ‘the look’ or comments from friends family and co-workers? Even if these comments are complimentary? Many people fear change. And sometimes those around us are surprised and don’t quite know how…

How Being Others Focused May Ruin Your Style

Others Focus and Your Wardrobe and Why It May Suffer

Wardrobe, WellbeingBy Imogen LamportAugust 17, 20153 Comments

If you are Others Focused you are the most likely to suffer from a less than desirable wardrobe. Why so? Well you focus on others first and tend to put your own needs last. You go shopping, but bring home clothes for the kids or your husband, but not you. You want to shop, but…

Travel Capsule for Summer in NY and DC - what I'm packing and why

Travel Capsule for New York and DC in Summer

Travel and PackingBy Imogen LamportAugust 14, 20157 Comments

So I’m leaving winter tomorrow and heading to summer and I can’t wait. I’m not a cold weather person, I find it painful (seriously I ache with cold sometimes) so I’m looking forward to leaving this long winter and enjoying some serious heat in New York and Washington DC. My trip is part holiday, with…

Necessity or Possibility metaprogram

Do You Only Buy Clothes When You Really Really Have to?

Capsule Wardrobes, Wardrobe, WellbeingBy Imogen LamportAugust 10, 20156 Comments

These are two interesting meta-programs and you may find that you work with one in some aspects of your life, and the other in a different part. I know for sure that I’m wired that way. For instance, whenever I buy a car, I buy it out of necessity. I buy a car that is…

Communication

ABCs – Match or Mismatch

More, WellbeingBy Imogen LamportAugust 3, 20158 Comments

Have you ever had a conversation with someone and all they seemed to do was to point out the differences between your point of view and theirs? That if you said you were alike in some way, they would disagree and tell you that in fact no, you are completely opposite? Or maybe you’ve had…

Destination Sydney

Destination Sydney

More, Travel and PackingBy Imogen LamportJuly 27, 201520 Comments

This trip was provided to me thanks to Nuffnang, Destination NSW, Qantas and Rydges I love a weekend away. It makes it feel like the weekend is more than just a couple of days and so I was thrilled when I was offered the opportunity by Destination NSW and Nuffnang to spend a few days…

ABCs – Do You Like Options or Prefer Procedures?

WellbeingBy Imogen LamportJuly 20, 201531 Comments

Options and Procedures is one of the NLP meta programs – which in a way can be described as habits of thought – the way we think and act habitually. This operational style plays a big influence on the size of wardrobe you’re happy with. It will mean that you may love only owning a…

Canberra Youth Orchestra 1985

It Was 30 Years Ago Today

More, Travel and Packing, WellbeingBy Imogen LamportJuly 18, 20156 Comments

Today I’m off to Canberra for the 30th Anniversary of the Canberra Youth Orchestra’s win of the World Youth Orchestra Championships in Vienna (Austria) 1985. I can’t wait to catch up with so many who went on this amazing journey with me, the majority of who I haven’t seen in around 28 years! I took…

Communication Styles – Are You Visual, Auditory, Cognitive or Kinasthetic?

WellbeingBy Imogen LamportJuly 14, 20154 Comments

Have you ever had that experience when you’re having a conversation with someone and it just feels like neither of you are really getting each other? I remember once having a heated discussion with my now ex-husband about something (which I can’t remember the topic anymore) and what I realised some way into this, what…

What to pack for a casual winter holiday in Queensland

What I Packed for My Family Holiday

Capsule Wardrobes, Travel and PackingBy Imogen LamportJuly 13, 20159 Comments

Phew, back from the 2 day (each way) road trip to the Sunshine Coast in Queensland with the kids for the winter school holiday break. I was asked what I packed, and I can tell you space is tight with 5 kids in the car, there is no boot space, so we all have to…

Family Holiday Mount Coolum Queensland

Family Holiday on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland

Travel and PackingBy Imogen LamportJuly 9, 20158 Comments

It’s school holidays and in Australia it’s winter. That means its cold, and wet and unpleasant in Melbourne (we don’t get snow but it’s still cold, particularly for me). We decided that we wanted to get out of the cold so a trip to Queensland (which is a tropical Australian state) was the answer, particularly…

ABCs – Communication and Frame of Reference

WellbeingBy Imogen LamportJuly 6, 20156 Comments

When I was a teenager my parents wanted me to be a musician or an architect. They were the two professions my parents had decided were right for me (without asking my opinion). Instead I went and did a degree in communications (even though they tried to talk me into their desired professions). I did…
