10 YEARS YOUNGER COMPETITION WINNER

Jennie won the Full of Life Day competition in Worthing and was very excited to be having her hair hilighted by Montage, makeup professional applied, nails polished and an outfit from Edinburgh Wools. I met Jennie and after a chat found she very rarely wore dresses but wanted an outfit for to trip to London and visit to the theatre. Having established Jennie's colour is 'Warm', her body shape is 'Pear' shape (the most common shape amongst Western women) and her style is 'Eurochic' I could then select some outfits. I suggested a floaty skirt with a blouse in the same material to give the overall impression of a dress but being separates means you can wear different size on the top and bottom. The blouse is quite gathered under the bust giving movement and therefore taking the eye away from the tummy and hip area. The block blue jacket is structured and slightly waisted giving Jennie shape and elongating her height. The turquoise is an ideal colour for Jennie's warm colouring as it is a contrast and tones down her reddish complexion. We
added an off white pashmina and shoes and the whole outfit gave Jennie confidence and a feminine feeling perfect for her day in London.

DRESSING FOR SUMMER


Oh great - at last the weather heating is up and we have had several days of beautiful sunshine. Whilst it is great showing off tanned bodies - remember to keep your STYLE and in the workplace dress must be kept professional. There are some great floaty dresses, strappy tops, short skirts, cropped trousers and cool open sandels for a great casual wardrobe. Remember when going abroad it is essential to take a cardigan or shawl to cover shoulders in over airconditioned hotels but also as a cover up when visiting religious building etc.

Zest4Life





A great new programme to 'Lose weight easily and re-gain your vitality' has started in the Brighton area with Lucy a qualified Nutritional Therapist. Lucy is currently enrolling for more sessions starting in May.

I am working with Lucy to help once participants have started to lose their weight and are looking at themselves with regard to their style and wardrobe. The programme lifts confidence and boosts self esteem and general well being.

Lucy has been holding pilot schemes with groups and individuals and it has been a huge success with everyone taking part.

Once participants start losing weight, their energy levels go up and confidence grows it is important for them to look at their wardrobes as they could well need an image update to suit their new shape and vitality.

STYLES AND COLOURS FOR SPRING





The main colours this season are the nude colours - peaches, creams, beiges, greys and whites and worn mixed together. The Bright colours feature greens, bright blues, oranges and reds. Khaki is popular again this year but the trousers and jackets are not so urban but much more tailored. Trousers vary from skinnies to the fabulous harem all in one suits. Skirts and dresses vary in length from very short worn with leggins to knee and maxi lengths. Think layers, tailoring and structured pieces.

Shoes and sandels are so varied this year there is something for everyone. Roman style strappy sandels to classic peep toe courts with killer heels, to kitten heels to ballerina flats.
