Accessories, shoppingBy Imogen LamportJuly 2, 200921 Comments

The other day when I was asking how you all felt about accessories, one reader said that she was disappointed that accessories were as costly as an item of clothing.

Last week after a shopping trip with a client, I was wandering back to my car through the shoe section of David Jones in Doncaster Shoppingtown, when I spied these shoes. I’ve been looking for a pair of comfortable shoes that don’t scream ‘ugly’ at me. I wanted something I can pair with jeans for…

Are You Too Old for Leggings?

fashion trendsBy Imogen LamportMay 27, 200922 Comments

Recently I was having a conversation with someone who asked if leggings were still ‘in’ and if they were too old to wear them. My reply was that they are still around (looking at the Fall 2009 fashion shows they were everywhere on the runway)  and are generally more flattering than a lot of the…

Why is it that when we are in a shop and we ‘must‘ buy a new piece of clothing, do we love it so much then that we are compelled to part with our hard earned money (or even worse, spend on credit), yet when we get it home, add it to the wardrobe and…

Shopping Tips to Make it Easier and Less Stressful

shoppingBy Imogen LamportApril 6, 200924 Comments

Do you find shopping stressful, and wonder why other women love doing it? Often, as our lives get busier, and our body shapes change, we find shopping gets harder and harder, and less and less enjoyable. One of my clients said to me one day as she was in the change room “Imogen, you make…
