A HOME for STYLING TIPS & tricks

Have you ever looked at someone’s outfit and thought, I know exactly how I could make that work better for them? Perhaps you're the person your friends turn to when they need help choosing an outfit for a wedding, updating their wardrobe or finding jeans that actually fit. If that sounds familiar, you might have wondered whether you could turn your love of clothes into a career as a personal stylist.

If you open your wardrobe every morning and think, “I have loads of clothes, but I still don’t know what to wear,” you are definitely not alone. In fact, this is exactly where we started with our lovely client Rakhi. Rakhi already had a wardrobe full of beautiful pieces.

After months of heavy coats, thick jumpers and boots, it’s lovely to start introducing lighter fabrics, brighter colours and a few new pieces into the wardrobe. But we also know that for many women, fashion trends can feel a little bit overwhelming. You might be wondering: “Are these trends actually wearable for me?” “Am I too old to try this?” “Will I look like I’m trying too hard?” And the answer is a

Jeans are one of the hardest working items in your wardrobe — and also one of the most frustrating. Most women tell us the same thing: “I live in jeans, but I never quite feel right in them.” That’s usually not because your body is “wrong”, it’s because the cut, rise, leg shape, length or shoes aren’t working together.
