There is always something new to see and read on my blog, especially Instagram. As a multi-award-winning personal stylist in London and Surrey, I cover a wide range of things that interest me, focused mainly around the following: exploring interiors + art + architecture + style + fashion + travel + food + things that touch my imagination daily.
Finding the right pair of glasses can be transformative for your vision, style, and confidence. Whether you’re selecting your first pair or updating your current look, glasses should enhance your features, fit your lifestyle, and reflect your personal style. Here’s your ultimate guide to making the perfect choice.
Nestled in southwest England, Bath is a stunning UNESCO World Heritage city combining historical charm and contemporary flair. It is perfect for a one-night, two-day getaway and offers an ideal mix of relaxation and culture. With accessible travel options and walkable attractions, it’s a destination worth the journey for solo travellers, friends, and family.
I cannot stress enough the importance of packing lots of light layers for autumn staycations—I’ve lost count of the number of times we added and peeled off layers during the day. The temperature varies from morning to noon to night, but when you’re walking, hiking, or cycling, it’s easier to regulate your temperature with light layers. Packing chunky knits doesn’t cut the mustard, as you’ll overheat, and they are too bulky to carry.
As my daughter prepared for university and I embraced the reality of becoming an empty nester, we embarked on a memorable journey together—a Danube River cruise with AmaWaterways, travelling from Vilshofen to Budapest. This trip wasn’t just a holiday but a precious opportunity to bond, explore, and create memories that will stay with us for a lifetime.
Ah, Munich! A city where history, culture, and that famous Bavarian charm collide most delightfully. If you’re planning a quick 48-hour escape to Munich, as I did with my 18-year-old daughter before she flew the nest to go to university, you’re in for an unforgettable ride. With just two days to explore, a central stay and some pedal power are the way to go. Here’s how we made the most of our time, mixing history, fun, and a few stops for the best pretzels in town.
Hello everyone!
Get ready to colour your world confidently. 🎨 Join me on Wednesday 26 March, from 10.00 am to 1.00 pm at my studio near Wimbledon. Limited to just six places, this exclusive experience is designed for women of all ages, ethnicities, backgrounds and lifestyles. With a small group, you’ll feel like you are getting one-to-one advice.
These classic neutrals are firm favourites with women all over the world and never date. Most women will have either or both in their wardrobe because they are so versatile, whether worn alone or layered.
Like updating your wardrobe, life offers endless reinvention opportunities irrespective of age, budget, complexion, lifestyle or body shape. So many women I meet through my work as a personal stylist feel stuck in a rut or need help with the colours or style of clothes they wear, and there are countless reasons for this. If you’d like specific 1-2-1 advice about cutting the mustard and enjoying your colours and style – confidently, please get in touch.
A navy blazer is a timeless classic and some women prefer navy to black as a staple item for their wardrobe. My advice would be to size up if you’d like to wear your blazer more or less all year round. I usually take a UK size 8 on top, but my blazers are size UK 10 so I can comfortably wear a sweat catcher, shirt and lightweight knit underneath in spring and autumn. When I peel off the layers in early summer, the blazer doesn’t look too oversized with a simple T-shirt underneath. All these jackets are true to size, I’ve tried them on for you! A blazer takes your outfit from casual to smart casual, so you can ditch the cardigan and elevate your style. If it’s still a bit nippy, add more layers underneath or throw over a gilet or a mac/trench coat.
Why is it so important to invest in good quality hangers and laundry bags? Read on to find out, it’ll be a game changer and you don’t even need a stylist to organise and look after your clothes.
