7 Key Pieces for Your Autumn Wardrobe👖

I've done an edit from the shops for this week's episode that is also accompanied by a blog so you can see the pieces I'm suggesting. It's time-consuming to trawl the shops and it's also time-consuming just to work out the actual pieces you need! I have done the groundwork for you in what I hope is a helpful episode that is going to make an impact on your wardrobe this season.

The Monthly Mash Up - with fellow personal stylists Sally & Sarah

What's been happening in October and what fashion has caught our eye? I'm joined again by stylists Sarah and Sally to de-brief the month including BBC weathermen wearing trainers, Liz Truss making mess but in a nice dress and the main topic of the show, work dress codes - what they are now, how to decipher them and what to wear to get it spot on. We also cover how our work as personal stylists is completely different to ordering a box of 'styled' clothes in the post from well-known companies.

How your mindset can elevate or hold back your style

Today is such a fascinating episode packed full of ideas to really get you thinking about how you get dressed, why you hang on to clothes you don't need, and how your influences have shaped your identity. It's all about clothes but a lot LOT more this week. 

I see every day in my work how people hold themselves back with what they wear and how they act because of limiting beliefs and mindsets. However I am not a mindset expert so I invited mindset coach Teresa Klasener to come and share her thoughts on this important topic.

The Monthly Mash Up - Whose outfits have caught our eye this month?

Welcome to a brand new monthly episode I am calling The Monthly Mash-Up. Each month, I will be discussing what's been going on in the world and who has been wearing what. This month (September) I am joined by fellow London stylists Sarah from Sartoria Lab and Sally from Queen Bee Styling. Our gaze this month is on The Duchess of Sussex and Carrie Johnson who have both had a lot of flak in the media this month for their outfit choices. We also pay our respects to Queen Elizabeth II and how she used colour very cleverly in her outfits and was never without her signature handbag. As well as all that we are discussing why clothes matter and getting into the minds of those who think it's frivolous and unimportant.

Thoughts on the messages your clothes send

"Dress Shabbily and they remember the dress, dress impeccably and they notice the woman" Coco Chanel. Sage advice from the doyenne of style. Your clothes speak, they are part of your message and they can be used to your advantage. Are you someone who blends in but wishes you were braver, or someone who stands out unapologetically? Too often women blend in when they shouldn't but sometimes it is appropriate and can be a clever tactic. This week I'm giving my thoughts on this using Carrie Johnson and the new UK PM Liz Truss as examples. One of them blended in cleverly and the other stood out in a power move. Which was right or were both? This episode will get you thinking differently about your wardrobe and the messages it sends.

Back to Work - Autumn Work Wardrobe Essentials

I know lots of us have been working all through August but September has that 'back to school' vibe. Time to refresh the wardrobe for a new season and maybe have a little style re-invention along the way. This episode is all about making sure you have the right things in your wardrobe for work so you have a stylish mix-and-match smart wardrobe. It's important to do a bit of prep first so you shop with intent and don't double up on things you already have. Also, your perspective on your style might have changed so what worked before, may not work this time around. September really is the best time take stock of your wardrobe and make some tweaks if necessary.  I'm sharing the top 8 pieces to have in your wardrobe this autumn.🍁
