Whether to Pleather
Whether to Pleather

A killer pair of leather or pleather (faux leather) trousers are the ultimate wardrobe essential this season. However, with the look being notoriously tricky to pull off, how do you find the perfect pair to suit your shape?

There is lots to love, when you find the right pair for you. They are sexy yet classy, ageless yet funky and smart yet casual. Easy coordination (they go with everything like a leather jacket does) and versatility (you can dress them up with a heel or down with trainers) make it clear, why the leather (faux or real) trouser has been elevated way beyond a passing trend, to become a ‘must-have’ wardrobe staple.

What style for what shape?

Check out the links to my favourite leather and pleather styles for each body shape and find the perfect pair for you!

How to Master the Half-Tuck

The half-tuck, also know as the French tuck, is probably the most famous style trick there is; yet somehow it is shrouded in mystery. You’ve either never heard of it, know about it but don’t really know how to do it or wonder how you ever dressed without it. One thing is for sure; once you start, you won’t stop! And - you’ll suddenly see it EVERYWHERE.

The secret is out - here’s how to master the half-tuck?

The Trends: Autumn/Winter 2019
The Trends: Autumn/Winter 2019

The leaves are turning and crisping into shades of russet, ochre and mahogany, signalling that my favourite season is upon us!! ….And it is one of two contrasting sides. On one team, there is Minimalism and on the other Flounce and Sequin.

I’ll be backing both teams and attempting a bit of fusion of the two. I’m thinking; an ivory lace sequinned blouse under a grey flannel blazer with distressed jeans and a high gold pump or a bohemian silk midi dress under a fitted waistcoat with 70’s knee high boots.

So, what are the key trends this season and which ones will you fall for?

Does the thought of shopping for a wedding outfit fill you with dread?
Does the thought of shopping for a wedding outfit fill you with dread?

Im discovering that for the vast majority of us; the panic of what to wear to an event, can over-shadow the enjoyment of the occasion itself.

I witness the terrors that a lot of people experience at the thought of shopping, or should I say, the thought of having to find something/anything to wear, that hopefully, ‘fingers-crossed;’ they look good in!

Usually, it would be the other way around, the client writing a review or testimonial of their styling session with me. But I felt compelled to write about my recent shopping trip, to share these fears and to demonstrate that help is at hand, and that it needn't be a daunting task. Shopping can be a spirited, confidence building experience.

Looking good isn’t a lottery; it’s a skill! But, luckily there is a formula to finding clothes that fit, flatter and showcase the best ‘you’.
