Last week I spent a day in Sydney at a dragway (yes, total glamour) learning how to become a more fuel efficient driver, as well discovering more about Ford Ecoboost technology, installed in many of their current fleet of cars including the Fiesta, Mondeo and Mustang (aka The Pony). Learning all about how small changes…
Most Tuesday’s in 2011 I’ve been fortunate enough to have a Stylish Thoughts post to share with you, and many people have told me that they are one of their favourite posts as they love learning about other’s thoughts on style. So, I’m looking for bloggers who would like to share their Stylish Thoughts here…
Guest post by Lindsey P The saying goes, “Dress for the job you want, not the job you have.” Ideally, that’s one of the ways to move up in your career, but realistically, not everyone is capable of buying expensive clothing while working at entry-level pay. Though making enough money to buy impressive clothing may…

One thing I’ve noticed when going through many wardrobes in my image consulting career is that so many of us forget what we own. Frequently I discover items that the owner completely forgot they’d bought. This is particularly common when there are multiple garments on hangers or great big drawers where clothes get lost under…
Denim is a staple in most wardrobes, and rightly so. It has many uses, is a hard-wearing fabric, and can be dressed up or down (to a certain extent). As far as cost per wear goes, most people get the maximum value from their favourite jeans. It’s likely that you’ve noticed denim comes in a…
Yesterday on Australian TV there was an apparent meltdown by one TV newsreader that her colleague was wearing a top that appeared on camera to be the same colour (white) as her own (though apparently, it was a very light blue, but it did show up on screen as white). The problem being apparently that…
Sewing is such a fantastic skill to have. It’s one that is growing in popularity again as no longer is “just like a bought one” such a compliment. I know many women my age and younger who never learned to sew as it wasn’t considered a necessary life skill. I’m lucky enough that I grew…

When I first started blogging back in 2008 I was worried that I’d run out of ideas to blog about. Over 700 posts later I have more ideas now than I did back then and I’m no longer worried about that ever happening! Blogging has made my brain more creative. I’ve built new neural pathways…
Ok, how many of you think you’d be interested in style and fashion if you were blind? I certainly hadn’t thought about it, but then I stumbled across Michelle of Eyeronic, a blind journalist who enjoys fashion and I love her writing and her unique perspective on style so I asked her to write a…
When I first started doing personal colour analysis back in 2004, the only way to do it accurately was in person. This was because cameras and screens (unless you had the professional equipment) just didn’t give you an accurate enough image to do a great job. Fortunately, with the significant improvements in mobile phone cameras,…
As I discussed here when I explained how lines work, body shape tells us: Where to put the verticals Where to put the horizontals to balance, broaden or highlight Where to place detail Where to keep boring/dull/plain/no detail That’s it! So let’s look at the 8Shape (commonly called the hourglass shape). Putting this information into…
Makeup Buying Guide: What to Buy, and When to Throw Away – Guest Post Walk into any department store, and you’re immediately surrounded by makeup counters, and women in white or black coats. The coats are meant to make them look like some sort of lab technicians or scientists, but really, they’re just there to…
For many women, colour analysis can feel like a never-ending puzzle. You might have been told you’re a “Spring,” only to be re-draped as an “Autumn” later. You try on those palettes, but somehow they still don’t feel right. You look washed out in some hues, overwhelmed by others, and the result is confusion rather…
Shoes, I love them, they really can have a huge impact on your outfit. They can be talking points, starting conversations, and can really elevate an outfit. Which is why I was excited on my recent trip to Canda, whilst in Toronto, to visit the Bata Shoe Museum. It’s home to one of the world’s…
