18 Funky Storage Ideas for Your Accessories

Accessories, style tips, WardrobeBy Imogen LamportDecember 12, 20139 Comments

In my experience as an image consultant (personal stylist) working in client’s wardrobes, accessory storage is something that can make a big difference to how stylish you are. Why? Well if it’s hard to find your accessories, hard to see them or access them, then it’s unlikely you’ll bother wearing them. If it’s easy to…

How to Choose the Correct Sleeve Length

Body Shapes, Reader questions, style tipsBy Imogen LamportDecember 6, 20137 Comments

Are there any rules for the right sleeve length? Jacket and long sleeves should usually end just below the wrist bone for most women.  A too short sleeve makes your arms look longer and that you’ve outgrown the garment.  A too long sleeve makes the arms look short and that the garment is too large…

Psychology of Colour – White

Colour, psychological mattersBy Imogen LamportNovember 28, 20131 Comment

White is ethereal, it’s the colour of clouds, snow and seafoam. It says: clean and hygenic, fresh and new. It’s often associated with winter in cooler climates, because of the snow. A fresh new piece of paper – a blank page, ready to be written on. In the Western world it’s the colour of the…

Orange – a colour that few list as their favourite colour, but one that radiates warmth, joy and happiness.
