Using Simultaneous Contrast to Change the Way a Colour Looks

Colour, Hips and Bottom, outfits, Reader questions, style tipsBy Imogen LamportMarch 27, 201417 Comments

Hi Imogen, Thank you for your awesome posts. I have a question about colour : It is said that colour is dynamic as it can change when it is next to other colours. Does that mean that we can play with this ability of colour when putting an outfit together ? Can we intentionally alter…

Have You Got a Yummie Tummie?

Giveaways, Hips and Bottom, looking slimmer, Reviews, slim your waistBy Imogen LamportDecember 13, 20126 Comments

Many of you are aware that I have a couple of kids, and they’re not adopted, so my stomach has been stretched a couple of times over the years.  The skin isn’t the taut skin it was pre-pregnancy, it’s now a soft and yummy tummy.  A few years ago I discovered the brand Yummie Tummie,…

Fitting Pants When You Have a Flat Bottom

flat buttBy Imogen LamportAugust 31, 201015 Comments

I’ve had a couple of reader requests recently about help for fitting pants over their flat bottoms.  I too have this as an issue, and find that the extra fabric that my butt doesn’t fill out just pools unattractively underneath my bottom. One thing I’ve taken to doing more so that this is not an…

Body Shapes Explained – V shape (Inverted Triangle)

Body Shapes, Hips and Bottom, Shoulders, V shape, WaistBy Imogen LamportSeptember 28, 200839 Comments

To be a V shape, your shoulders need to be wider than your hips, by a good couple of inches. You may or may not have a waist, many V shapes have a shorter waist, if so, then use the tips from the H shape through your waist area – that is – no tucking,…
