Shop for your shape this autumn
Thu, Aug 12, 2010
The new season is fast approaching and this is always a good time to think of revamping or clearing out your wardrobe and shopping for exciting new pieces. Because style is all about understanding what suits you, I want to help you to look more closely at the shape of your clothes and know if they work for you. My top tips will help to find what is really right for you.
If you feel you are pretty much straight up and down and you want to introduce womanly curves, you may have what we call a boyish or a column figure. The shape of your clothes can help you create curves. You need to add bulk where there is a lack of curves. For example a shirt with ruffles at the front will create a fuller cleavage. On a skirt, look for volume on the hips and bum. Use as many details as you want, such as pockets, horizontal lines, or layering, and go for higher necklines.

If you are currently looking in the mirror at skin you just know could be better, and a make-up routine that needs a bit of revamping, you could not have picked a better time to reassess. We are now living in a revolutionary era for skincare and cosmetics, with more and more products delivering exactly what they promise. Box clever! Getting serious about your skincare (you will know when the time comes) involves investing in a few hardworking luxury products like Crème de Mer eye concentrate — it actually quenches and reconditions the delicate eye area while reducing the appearance of dark circles and puffiness, and of course Elizabeth Arden’s Prevage anti ageing serum — packed with powerful antioxidants, it gives great results on wrinkles, age spots, and scarring. The ingredients are powerfully concentrated, and you will find a little goes a long way, there is no need to lash it on. You know what area needs the most help and that is where to invest in a superior product.
