📢 I had to share this 》"Having recently reached 60, I felt like I was having a crisis of confidence. When I turned 50 I had a colour analysis session and a style day elsewhere, so I sort of knew what I liked and what suited me but I thought I was too old to wear them, I was in a rut and in desperate need of a style update.

Then I met Joy!

From the beginning to the end of my Personal Shop she made me feel so much better about myself, I rediscovered my love of clothes, colour and style.

I learnt so much about what to wear and how to wear it for my shape (rectangle), but also what to avoid (skinny jeans, leggings and baggy tops) She suggested things I probably wouldn't have thought of and I love them all. I have had so many compliments when I wear the clothes, and I certainly don't feel frumpy any more"

Did you know that every week I create an amazing (if I may say so myself) shoppable style blog?

'Style Fix' is an online magazine where I source items for my Style HUB members and give you all the low down on what's new in online.

Physical magazines have sadly become a thing of the past but that doesn't mean your style has to along with it.

Style Fix isn't just about being presented with stuff you 'like' - for my members it's about being offered clothing that's 'right'.

This weeks includes;

• Member requests for;
》Swimwear for bigger busts

• My thoughts ❤🏝

As summer is here and many of us are going away I thought I'd focus on beachwear and cover ups.

I love this fishnet style overlay. Perfect for throwing on over a costume or bikini and comes in 4 colours - only £13.99

The v-neck is perfect for those with a bigger bust or broad shoulders and the sleeves are drop hem and super slouchy. Perfect for those balmy days.

A final bit of advice about swimwear and body shapes.
Although the advice I've been sharing is a great guide - you'll find over time that different styles will work better for you. Not just for your shape but your style personality too.

Certain styles that 'should' work for me, just feel too girly so I opt for a more simple, crop top style mostly.

Don't put that pressure on yourself to try on the first bikini you pick up and it to work.

Also, don't pressure yourself to wear a bikini over a swimsuit - wearing a two-piece is not a badge of honour. It is personal preference and what you feel most comfortable in.

Most of all, REMEMBER - no one is looking at you when you're by the pool - they are all concerned with their own bodies and wherever their kids are.

Please don't sacrifice fun and living your life to the fullest for overthinking and pulling yourself down.

These longer length city shorts are so good for dressing up OR down.

Wear them over a simple swimsuit, bikini or add a cami and kimono.

£22.00 - sizes 10-32

I had my most emotive personal shop to date last week - with a young girl not long out of the inpatient facility for an eating disorder. I immediately felt a connection and as the day went on I created looks she had pinned to her Pinterest board. That inspired her and felt like the 'inner her'.

Her Mother had felt it was a new and much needed approach to help her daughter use clothing as a way to fee good about her body image.

As much as this felt like a huge responsibility, it also felt like a huge honour.

To be able to help a young woman that feels so disconnected, so low and so negative towards herself and be able to make her feel 'the most confident' she's felt in a long time was a huge achievement. We all cried in the lounge as the client showed her mum her purchases that she was genuinely looking forward to wearing.

I want you to know change your mindset or feelings towards your body, whether it be feeling replused by your body, down about how it's changed or simply just fed up - there is always something we can do.

I help you to reset, re frame and reevaluate who you truly are within a safe, nurturing environment.

So if you are on the fence about booking you only have to check my testimonials to see the change in peoples' mindsets once they've had a shop.
