Corporate Lawyer, Board Advisor, Instagram star and mum of Two Lisa Marinelli joined me on the podcast this week to discuss how you can dress fashionably at work and still be taken seriously. You do not have to dress in dull corporate clothes anymore - in fact, showing some flair and personality in the workplace helps you stand out in a competitive world. We all thrive when are more authentically ourselves and dressing with confidence helps you to appear confident to others instantly.
Does your work wardrobe need a shake up?
“When I first started out as a lawyer, I bought a suit because I thought that’s what I needed to wear to feel like I belonged in a corporate setting. But soon enough, you realize that a black suit is not really an expression of anything. I started playing with the idea of ‘power dressing’ by finding the colours that made me feel the most confident" -Lisa Marinelli

Who said you had to conform to one style in life?
Quite simply you don’t, and life can be so much more joyful for it.
In this episode I am joined by style chameleon Keira O’Mara who lives this way, where every day can be different. She changes her style according to her mood that day rather than reaching for one of the same 10 outfits many of us stick to. Sounds like a fun way to live right?
Keira shares what it means to be a style chameleon and why it brings her so much joy. She also talks about her accessories brand Scott-Samuel, including the stunning bags and capes.
Clothes have the power to make you feel great, and the joy of experimenting with different outfits can give you confidence in expressing oneself through fashion.
Let’s hear from Keira to find out how!

Do you love the French look?
Timeless and effortless. But how do you actually achieve it?
In this episode I am joined by Founder of Aurélie, Lucy Robinson. She has created a wonderful brand with a personal touch. Lucy writes handwritten notes with every order, to make each and every purchase feel special.
Aurélie is all about creating timeless looks rather than following fast fashion trends, something French fashion is all about. Lucy shares how to get the French look from jeans to jackets, as well as why the French just get fashion right.
We also talk about how to feel confident in your clothes and the impacts the information we see in the media can have on us.
One of the most important messages from this episode is to learn more about yourself and make sure that your wardrobe reflects that at all stages of life.

Do you ever feel stuck in a rut with your clothes?
You don’t know what to choose, or what goes with what. You feel like it’s just all too overwhelming. Well, you’re not alone.
In this episode I am joined by the fabulous Amy Simpson and Lisa Farley, creators of NUDI SPRAY™. They share their struggles when choosing outfits to wear, either from their wardrobe or when out shopping. Something I’m sure we’ve all been through. We chat about how to overcome these challenges by taking away the confusion and what items can make an outfit.
Amy and Lisa also tell all about their amazing product NUDI SPRAY™, something that will revolutionise the lives of so many women out there going through perimenopause and menopause.
They had a moment of inspiration during 2022 whilst comparing sticky patch stories following their summer holidays. Neither friend had discovered a reliable, effective or easy means of removing HRT patch glue, leaving them feeling self-conscious about living very publicly with unsightly marks on their skin.
This led them on a quest to find a solution, and after months of research and development, they had created NUDI SPRAY™.
“If you’re reaching for some mayonnaise and rubbing it all over your legs, you’re at a new low” – Amy Simpson

It's officially Summer and the Summer-specific events are kicking off with Epsom Darby this weekend and Royal Ascot just around the corner. These are events where there is a license to get really dressed up and enjoy the pomp and ceremony that surrounds these unique gatherings.
With this in mind, I invited Rachel Skinner or Rachel Skinner Milineray and also Lomax & Skinner to discuss what to wear at Royal Ascot. Rachel trained with Frederick Foz who made hats for Queen Elizabeth and also Stephen Jones, one of the UK's best milliners.

Abi Lynn @stealmystyle40 on Instagram joined me to talk about how to look put together when you need to wear casual and practical clothes. That's more or less all of us then!
Your wardrobe needs to meet the demands of your life and make you feel good at the same time. Practical style doesn't need to be boring and you can still look and feel stylish when dressing casually and comfortably.
Abi is a petite style influencer over on Instagram and known for being a football Mum. She's always on the sidelines watching her boys so she needs to be dressed appropriately. She loves fashion and dressing up and chats about her journey to becoming an influencer, where she shops and how she likes to get dressed today.

Today's guest on The Style Stories Podcast is the gorgeous 5ft 11" fashion influencer Olivia Laura Turner @olivialaura_ on Instagram.
It was so lovely to chat with Olivia and find out about where she shops as a tall girl plus her journey to becoming a fashion influencer.
Olivia shares her tips on how to dress (she's 5ft 11") and the shops she recommends for tall fashion. We specifically covered jeans and dresses as they are very tricky to find and to get right when you are taller.
I hope you enjoy this chat and the valuable tips and outfit inspiration shared by Olivia. 🤩
(Please note there were some minor technical issues with this episode but only in small moments!)

Lots of us have to get up and speak to a crowd at some point and confidence is key! This is a special episode dedicated to public speaking with grace, confidence and gravitas with a true expert, Caroline Goyder.
I've known Caroline for many years now and love her compassionate, calm take on how you can own a stage. She is the queen of owning who you really are and leaning into that - not trying to be someone you are not or someone other people expect you to be.
This is a big part of the essence of The Style Stories Podcast. Being authentically who you are through your style but also in how you speak and act! In this episode we covered:
- How important it is to say yes to things that scare you
- How to be authentically yourself when public speaking/on stage and why it matters
- How to battle the nerves and self-doubt
- How everyone has imposter syndrome and why that is a good and normal thing!
- Also, what to wear when public speaking 👗
Caroline Goyder is the author of 3 books with two of them dedicated to public speaking.
She has done a Ted Talk that has been watched over 10 MILLION times! Watch that here.
She is also a course creator and has a ton of free resources to help you if you need to step up publicly at work.
Sign up to her newsletter in the links below to get a weekly tip on public speaking.
