Some recent outfits. Black / white / denim & a pop of ❤️. I even wore some of them more than once. Shhhhh don’t tell anyone, that’s just between us. 🤣🥰
The sun has been shining so much this week, so balancing that with work outfits has meant a lot of cooling white and linen. What have you been wearing? I was interviewed on BBC Scotland Lunchtime live Monday on “what to wear in the heat”. Definitely lots of natural fibres. Yes tailored shorts are ok for the office but maybe not short shorts or sports shorts. And yes toes are acceptable. 🤣
Did anyone hear it? What have you been wearing this week?

“I live somewhere completely different. I’ve given up a lifelong hobby. I’ve started a completely different career. I’ve become a mum. My body has changed. I’ve changed. I just want to feel good about myself, have some confidence, and feel like I look decent.”

This was the message my lovely client Emma sent me when she first reached out.

When your entire world, lifestyle, and body change at the same time, your wardrobe becomes something of a bind. Nothing fits, nothing represents who you are, it might not work for the life you now live or the woman you are today.

So, the mission wasn’t so much an event/ occasion personal shop - we were literally rebuilding Emma’s entire wardrobe and helping her find her own style. Introducing colour and shapes she would never have chosen herself.

And let me tell you, she went to TOWN. It was probably the biggest haul of individual items I have seen in a personal shop in ages. We covered everything from good quality basics, footwear, some for summer and some which will work into winter and a heap of lovely accessories to pull looks together. We even managed to find 3 pairs of jeans!

We didn’t buy random trends; we bought pieces that will last beyond the trends that fit her new job, her busy mum life, and her new body shape perfectly.

Letting go of the old stuff and investing in who you are right now isn’t frivolous, it is necessary. It is uplifting.

Emma, it was an absolute privilege helping you claim your confidence back for this next chapter!

The easiest trick for when you’ve literally left your whole face impression similar to the “shroud of turin” on your favourite top!

We have all been there, super careful as careful can be but you still end up with makeup on the collar of your favourite white top! Argh! There is nothing more frustrating! However micellar water is designed to break down the oils and pigments in make-up on your skin, it does the exact same thing on your clothes - without leaving any additional stain or watermark. Get to the stain quickly for the best results.

It works so well on foundation, concealer, and powder, especially on cotton, linen, and denim. Just make sure to use a clear, oil-free micellar water!

Save to remember and let me know if you knew this one already?

I read a quote yesterday and reshared it in stories and I wanted to unpack it a little more. Countless times I have heard “I can’t wear shorts, I have terrible cellulite.”

Perhaps it is as the quote said, we grew up in a time where magazines routinely ran pieces about celebrities with images super focused on their thighs, highlighting their cellulite like it was criminally shameful.

FACT: It’s perfectly normal, affects 85-90% of women and a much smaller percentage of men. Women are more prone to it because we have vertical cords of connective tissue that anchor the skin to the muscle, in a vertical pattern (like mattress tufting), whereas men’s are arranged in a criss-cross pattern that keeps fat locked down more smoothly. (Obviously heavily googled, not a DR).

Pretty much almost everyone has it, regardless of weight or body fat percentage. Regardless of fitness levels. So stop saying you can’t wear shorts because you have it. It’s literally part of the design of the female body, like having a tummy, like having b***s!

Stop letting 90’s and 00’s tabloid gutterpress define how you see the backs of your legs, I’ve seen them and they are glorious. So wear the f*cking shorts.

DM me, or comment below, what do you think, do you remember those horrible articles?

Letting go is how we make room for who we are. Stay with me here…

A wardrobe edit isn’t just about “getting rid of clothes”. It is about getting rid of past versions of ourselves that are holding us back.

Think wardrobes packed and overwhelmed with clothes from an old job five years ago, or those “it might do for...” x, y or z items. Things kept out of pure guilt because we spent money on them but haven’t actually worn them.

Or clothes that fit a body shape we had 5 years ago.

In the past 5 years, my weight has gone up about 10kg and gone back down a few again. How does it make me feel? Good and sad at the same time. Sad because I have had to totally rebuy all my jeans again (FFS!). But good because this version of me is strong - I eat more, worry less about calories on a daily basis, and focus more on long-term health.

Holding onto “stuff” keeps you stuck in time, but letting go can be liberating. A wardrobe edit can feel thoroughly cleansing. It is the fastest way to help you grow your style confidence, because you finally learn to see what you truly enjoy wearing *now*.

If this sounds a little like you, DM me with your questions and let’s chat.

What I wore yesterday to meet new clients.
Mixing textures in outfits can make them more interesting here the silky trousers, cotton shirt are super soft and tactile. The traditional route would be adding a blazer but for contrast and to make it a little more interesting, I went for the chunky boucle cadi. What do you think?
Have the best Saturday ladies. Im very much looking forward to spending time with the family today. This week has been HECTIC. 👌😍

A week of outfits which totally reflects the fantastic Scottish weather. Trench one day, flip flops two seconds later. 🌦️☔️☀️

Rain rain go away, please! We are summer staycationing this year on account of a leaky roof so I am really hoping that the sunshine hears my pleas.

From sudden downpours to bursts of sunshine, this past week has been a bit of everything. Working from home, client facing and some relaxed out-out looks.

POV: You don’t need a massive wardrobe for every season - you just need pieces that mix and match together to layer up or down on the fly, no matter what the weather is doing.

Which is your favourite, comment below. 👇

What I wore last night.
Jeans and a nice top is my typical fall back outfit. Whats yours? Last night I was working up until we had to go and didn’t really think through what to wear until the very last minute. I started with the sandals as I feel like I haven’t worn these in ages and everything else kind of slotted around that. When you only have a few minutes to get ready choose one thing and go from there. Saves the decent into panic looking at your full wardrobe and thinking where do I start!!!
Step 1. Choose one thing and work from there. 😊
We spent the evening enjoying the new summer menu from Eusebi Deli & Restaurant omg everything was absolutely to die for and it was amazingly to hear Giovanna Eusebi stories of childhoods in Italy and how the flavours connect with her memories. Such a beautiful night.

When Susan got in touch, she said “I struggled to find full length photos to send you, as I’ve been hiding at the back of pictures recently.”

Like many of us, Susan is self-employed, working from home, and taxiing kids around.
She loves fashion, has a great eye, and wants her style to be quirky and individual. But she felt that working from home meant she had become entirely reliant on leggings so then when it came to pulling outfits together she was confused where to start.

When we looked at why she was feeling stuck, Susan’s answers were exactly what so many women face:

Opening the wardrobe and seeing a crammed space full of nice things, but never having the opportunity to wear them.

Buying random pieces out of boredom or as a “reward,” resulting in a wardrobe full of ill-considered bits.

Dealing with a changing body shape and a large bust, leaving her feeling “frumpy” when she saw herself in pics.

Susan’s main priorities for our session were simple: she wanted an honest opinion on what worked, what to let go of, real clarity on her body shape, and most importantly, a confidence boost.

So, we got to work. We cleared out the pieces that were holding her back, we stored seasonal items and sentimental things - what should be in your wardrobe are those things you can wear now, everything else is clutter. We talked about proportions and put together outfits to work for everyday and things coming up. I showed her how to use more special pieces everyday and how to make them work harder.

Even working from home outfits can feel like an outfit, leggings don’t have to be boring and you absolutely should not be hiding at the back of photos. Your body isn’t the problem, it’s typically the clothes and I can help you fix that!

Susan, it was an absolute pleasure working with you and getting that confidence back!

Are you tired of hiding at the back of photos and staring at a wardrobe that doesn’t work for you? Let’s fix it. Drop me a DM to chat!
