Networking meeting lunch and a hot day so I went for this DVF Snakeprint dress which is cool and comfortable. This was my Wednesday outfit, I was spending half the day at the hairdresser getting my 6 weekly cut and colour (thanks to the fabulous team at Anthony Nitson Hair for making me look so…
I’m now back in Australia after my Chicago trip, but thought I’d share with you some of the rest of my photos. We took a trip to the aquarium and had the chance to pat a stingray. I absolutely was mesmerized by the jelly fish. We also took the architectural boat tour which I highly…
No style advice today. Instead I’m going to share with you some photos from my travels in Chicago (where I’m currently on holiday). On our first day the weather wasn’t so great, so we took a walk up to the Chicago Cultural Centre and Public Library. Amazing building with lots of mosaic designed by Louis…
Here in this video I show you how I get 72 outfits from 12 garments and that they can all be packed into this carry-on sized suitcase. If you want more packing trips grab a copy of my Travelling Light ebook!
Today you can find some easy exercises to help you fix all those niggly little problems, like the hunch you get from sitting at your computer way too much and that horrid lower back pain. I’ve contributed a short video too about another niggly problem that many women experience and how I manage it. Check…
Hi Imogen, I was wondering if you have any ideas to look tidy and classy whilst travelling by car. Many Australian ladies travel long distances by car for holidays or as a life style choice. My friend was dismissed as unworthy in a jeweller whilst wearing the travelling outfit adopted by most ( 3/4 pants,…
Tomorrow I reach my 1 week milestone and next Monday I’m off to the hospital to see my plastic surgeon (Yvonne Chow – she did a brilliant job as far as I can tell so far and one of the nurses said that they were the best breasts she’d seen!) to have some…
Hi Imogen- love the site -such great ideas and at the same time very practical! On that – I was wondering what you would suggest for weekends away? I often go away at weekends and take in some walking or sightseeing so I tend to bring my trainers with me (suitable for walking and not…
The past 2 weeks have been school holidays here in Melbourne. I decided it was long overdue to take some time off and take my kids away on holiday. Over the 2 weeks we drove over 5000kms, our first stop was Canberra where my parents live. While we were there we went to Floriade (an…
Image is more than just what you wear. It’s all about the ABCs – Appearance, Behavior, Communication. Body language is just one of those elements, but according to research is incredibly important in how we are perceived and even how we think and behave. Find out more in this really interesting TED talk.
Packing for a trip to the USA I’m in Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA for an AICI International Board planning meeting this week, plus I’m training some US based trainers in the Absolute Colour System – so if you want to learn how to do colour analysis with my system the International Image Academy is the place…
Many of you regular readers may wonder where I’ve disappeared to this past week. So I thought I’d do a quick post to tell you a little of my past 10 days where I’ve been attending the AICI (association of image consultants international) conference in Phoenix Arizona (USA). After the conference we went…
.. Hello from Orlando, Florida. I’m here and sharing a hotel room with the lovely Jan Fisher (who you will know from these posts on Certain Age dressing). I thought I’d share a couple of outfits with you that we’ve worn yesterday and today. The first two outfits are what we wore to the opening…
I’m currently writing this sitting in Tullamarine airport waiting to board my flight to LA and looking around the airport I’m noticing lots of different clothes that people choose to wear on long-haul flights. There are a few men in business suits (which must get uncomfortable on 15 hour flights), quite a few pairs of…
Wardrobe capsules are a great way of making your clothes work harder for you and your dollar go further. A wardrobe capsule is a selection of up to 12 garments plus accessories that all work together. Today I’ve created a capsule for a busy mum on the go. 8 practical easy care garments along with…
I was interviewed by Madonna King on ABC Radio in Brisbane today about how to pack for travel. You can listen to the interview here.
View of the beach from the Discovery Shores Restaurant I am here in Boracay at the gorgeous Discovery Shores resort with image consultants Olen Juarez-Lim and Denise Ng. The other day at the cultural session in Manila Miselle Bergonia talked about how you know you’re Filipino when you point with your lips. I hadn’t noticed…
I’m off to Manila in the Philippines tomorrow for the Association of Image Consultants International South East Asia conference. I’m speaking at the conference on blogging, so have to have something that is suitable to stand up in front of a critical audience. There will be a gala dinner, other conference events and then I’m…
“How did I end up frumpy?” This is a lament that I hear from women of a certain age who feel they’ve lost their style mojo and they’re not sure when and where they lost it. It tends to creep up on us, as we get older we tend to have less time to go…
One item I never leave home without when travelling is a pair of ear plugs. When I’m on an airplane the ear plugs cut down on the engine noise which makes for a much more relaxing trip, they also cut down on the crying child in the row behind you (yep I’ve been that mother…
After having spent years travelling for work (previous life) plus having spent time travelling for pleasure, one essential item I take no matter what the weather is a pair of socks. Even if it’s mid-summer, and all I’m wearing are sandals or thongs, I always take a pair of socks that I can put on…
