Do your Spring outfits feel ‘past it’? This is a term many of my clients use to describe their current style before we work together. It’s the feeling you get when you put on an outfit you used to love only to feel, at best, underwhelmed and, at worst, frumpy and grumpy! If that sounds …

How to prolong the life of your garments
Is this common wardrobe item leaving a bad impression? This is something I find in many of the wardrobes that I edit.

Five things NOT to wear when you return to the office!
Oh, the goalposts have moved again! I’m not referring to the Euros as I’m no football expert (unless I’ve had a glass of wine then I know everything!) No, I’m referring to the office dress code. A common theme is cropping up among the women I have been styling over the past few weeks. With …

Is your dream summer dress selling out right now?
Good news! If you haven’t yet been into town I can confirm that the shops in London’s West End (including independent boutiques) are all open… as are their fittings rooms. But the bad news is that the shoppers are back too, and they’re snapping up all the best summer stock. So if you haven’t yet …
