The Monthly Mash Up episode is when I am joined by fellow stylists to talk about what we've spotted in the shops, trends, TV, and anything that's been going on around us this month that is (mostly) style-related.
In this week's episode, I manage to offend the whole City of Portsmouth completely by accident whilst trying to make an important point! Luckily Sally of Queen Bee Styling was on hand to dig me out of a hole and eloquently explain where I was coming from! The point was, people dress down to hide, it can show a lack of confidence. There was a particular brand we were discussing when this conversation came about. It's a very well-known brand that we both find in our client's wardrobes and 9/10 end up throwing away! Tune in to hear more.

Accessories can really make an outfit. It's a super quick and easy way to add personality and interest and also to look like you've got dressed intentionally. Even when you are wearing a pair of jeans and a white tee, by adding jewellery you can create a great outfit. This week on the podcast I am joined by my favourite jewellery designer Amy Elson, the designer behind Chambers & Beau.
All Chambers & Beau jewellery is handmade in Amy's studio in Devon UK. She started doing personalised jewellery when no-one else really was. Her pieces are unique and make really thoughtful gifts and she is also a master of layering. Layering jewellery is a quick and easy way to add a bit of cool to your outfit.
Listen to Amy tell the story behind Chambers & Beau and how she stumbled into having her own jewellery business.

This week I am joined by very successful and very beautiful 52 year old silver haired curve model Rachel Peru. Rachel recently posted a reel on her Instagram (see reel here) of her wearing a tailored blazer with a bralette underneath. This post got lots and lots of positive comments but it also attracted a lot of negative comments like "tell nanna to take her medication" (from a man) and lots of "you are too old for this, put it away" (from women). The comments were worse on Facebook which is interesting...
Tune in to hear our chat about how this felt for Rachel and why we think this happens. Why don't women support women and why do the media still tell women over 40 not to wear certain things and blend into the background? 😤 Getting older can be the best time in your life in so many ways and feeling confident in your outfits is one of them. Hopefully as we get older we get more into our vibe and know ourselves a lot better, it's a shame the trolls don't feel the same.

Most of my personal styling clients tell me they want to look "pulled together but not too try-hard" - People worry about looking 'try-hard' because they don't want others to think they've spent a lot of time on how they look in case they are deemed to be vain or vacuous. People fear that paying attention to their clothes and image is frivolous and not important.
This could not be further from the truth. Investing in your mage helps you at work. It helps you to influence others, look senior or authoritative, get you more pay and get promotions. Dressing well boosts confidence and is one of the more joyful things in life. So why do people put this on the back burner and not bother looking at their wardrobe and investing in it when it can make such a difference to your life?
🔥 I'm running through why it pays to invest in your image and 7 ways you can get more clarity on your style so you can upgrade your image.🔥

What do you actually need in your wardrobe and how can you look pulled together? It's better to be considered about what you buy and make sure your wardrobe contains hard working pieces that stand the test of time and help you to feel great. We all want an easy answer of what to wear in the morning and there are certain core pieces that can do that. I've come up with 5 things that will instantly elevate your outfits and make you look chic and pulled together. ✨
Pieces I mention:
1. Smart boots. I got these.from Russell & Bromley, a copy of The Row boots
2. Leather skinny trousers. These are good quality.
3. A smart wool coat. I recommend many on the podcast but I've got my eye on this gingham one.
4. Cashmere jumper. John Lewis and M&S have lots at very reasonable prices.
5. A chunky gold necklace. A brilliantly easy way to upgrade your outfit. I love these 3 brands:

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.
If you want to view the edit, check out my blog here.

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.
