Statement Rings

Accessories, Personal StyleBy Imogen LamportFebruary 8, 201312 Comments

I love a statement (cocktail) ring. It can add some oomph to an outfit and excitement to your hand. What I love is that statement rings don’t have to be expensive. The ring in this pic above came from Claire’s Accessories, yet when worn with a more dressed up outfit, you assume it’s a more…

Jacket Up – FABruary Style Challenge

Personal Style, Style Tips, Stylish Thoughts, WardrobeBy Imogen LamportFebruary 6, 201312 Comments

Jackets are one of the essential third pieces in your wardrobe. They can cover a multitude of sins, and dress up a more casual outfit, or if made from a casual fabric, dress down a fancier one. Jackets bypass many of your personal ‘statistics’. The can diminish the appearance of a large bust or tummy,…

Belt it – FABruary Style Challenge

Accessories, Colour, Style Tips, WardrobeBy Imogen LamportFebruary 5, 201311 Comments

I don’t belt often as I’m an H shape and have a short waist with large bust, so belting at the waist draws attention to my boxy shape and makes my breasts look larger.  But occasionally I do like the addition of a belt as it adds a detail to my outfit to make it more interesting.…

Personal Style, Style Tips, WardrobeBy Imogen LamportFebruary 3, 20134 Comments

Denim is something that many of us wear a lot. For many our jeans are a go to item. I was considering whether or not I should include denim in the style challenge at all as it’s too many people’s fall back, so I thought that I’d twist it up and insist that it be…

How to Create a Capsule Wardrobe that Works for You

Capsule WardrobesBy Imogen LamportDecember 5, 201219 Comments

I just discovered your website, and I love the photos of your wardrobe capsules. I’ll be moving from an equatorial, tropical climate (think hot and humid) to the cold dark north of Finland.

How to Make a Shrug from a Square Scarf

Accessories, Personal Style, Style TipsBy Imogen LamportNovember 30, 20127 Comments

You may have noticed that I wore a scarf as a shrug on Melbourne Cup Day, and one of my lovely readers asked me to show how I made it. Luckily it’s very simple! There are two ways of doing it – the non-sew and the sew options. If you’re not a sewer or don’t…

How to Choose Jewellery for The Season

Accessories, Reader QuestionsBy Imogen LamportNovember 12, 20121 Comment

  Hi Imogen, I have the following question: living in the Northern hemisphere I am wondering what jewellery looks right in the darker seasons. More sparkle? Warmer or deeper colours?

What We Wore Melbourne Cup Day 2012

Accessories, Colour, Personal Style, Style Tips, WardrobeBy Imogen LamportNovember 6, 2012Leave a comment

I was lucky enough to score an invite from Gem Marketing to The Birdcage at the 2012 Melbourne Cup. I didn’t have a huge amount of time to prepare, but I managed to make a new fascinator to wear and turn a scarf into a wrap to cover my shoulders and upper arms. I also…

How to Wear the Shoulder Straps on Handbags

AccessoriesBy Imogen LamportOctober 26, 2012Leave a comment

    A bag question for my new style guru: All the top handle bags seem to come with shoulder straps. It’s nice to have the option of slinging the bag over your shoulder if your hands are full, but when you are carrying it by the handles or over your arm, the strap dangles…

How to Store Knitwear

Organisation and Storage, Reader Questions, Style TipsBy Imogen LamportOctober 16, 20122 Comments

What is the best way to store knits/sweaters so that they hold their shape? But also so that they are easy to access and coordinate for outfits? I’ve put most of my clothes on hangers coordinated by color, which helps a lot, but I don’t think I’m supposed to hang sweaters. Do you have any…

How Much do You Spend on Clothing?

Shopping, WardrobeBy Imogen LamportOctober 12, 20124 Comments

    A recent study conducted in the UK says that women there spend 1/5 of their salary on clothing.   This shocked me as it’s a lot of money to be spending to keep yourself looking great for you work.  And it made me think about the work I do and how often I…

Levels of Refinement

Accessories, Dress Codes, Fabric, Occasion Dressing, Personal Style, Reader QuestionsBy Imogen LamportSeptember 28, 201216 Comments

Question regarding DRESSING UP/DOWN: I have many cardigans – cotton, colourful, not v structured, they are pretty but casual. If I was to wear any of these with something elegant, such as a top and a skirt, both made of satin, the cardigan would not dress the top and skirt down, it would simply look…
