The new smart casual

Thu, Feb 16, 2012

When I am helping clients sort out their wardrobe or shopping, the most common question I am asked is, ‘What can I wear for smart casual?’ When it comes to dressing smart casual there is a fine line between being overdressed and looking like you are going for a walk.

The nine to five

Thu, Feb 09, 2012

We all experience the feeling first thing on a Monday morning, dragging yourself out of bed, jumping in the shower, and then opening the wardrobe doors asking the same question: What will I wear? The traditional work wear attire consisted of the standard suit, for both men and women. For women, that has changed somewhat; the suit is disappearing and in come dresses and separates, which in essence, are far more flattering and comfortable to wear all day. That is not to say that dress policies specify what we can and cannot wear to work, so make sure you familiarise yourself with this before taking on any fashion experiments at work.

Get your lips ready for Valentine’s

Thu, Feb 09, 2012

Cold temperature, wind, matt lipstick, and even medication can all dehydrate fragile lips, leaving them sore and chapped, a big no no when it comes to romance. Not only are dry and cracked lips less than attractive, they can also be painful and extremely uncomfortable.

With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, ensure lips are in kissable condition with Eau Thermale Avène Cold Cream Lip cream, an ultra-rich cream specifically developed to treat dehydrated and severely dry lips, bringing immediate comfort, rapid repair, and long lasting protection.

Real weight loss with System 10

Thu, Feb 09, 2012

There are three keys to a genuine weight loss plan — diet, exercise, and metabolism correction. These three keys interconnect – one will not work without the other. Your metabolism is the most powerful of all the three keys. It is the ‘switch’ that controls everything else. In most people this switch is off.

Breakthrough for weight loss

Thu, Feb 09, 2012

Weight loss is a sensitive subject, whether you only have a few pounds to lose or whether you have a great deal more to lose, the most important step is taking decisive action. Equally important is taking a proven, consistent, and healthy approach that really works. The weight loss world is a bit of a minefield with so many false promises that just serve to set us back.

Looking ahead

Thu, Feb 02, 2012

You may think that looking ahead to Spring is a little premature considering we are amidst a cold winter, but the fashion industry always works one season in advance. I am a regular London Fashion Week attendee and back in September I found it hard to decipher Spring/Summer 2012 trends, when we hadn’t even hit Winter. But that’s the way the industry works and the challenge for a journalist is to predict what’s coming. Christmas may be in the air, however, the fashion media start to preview upcoming collections as early as October. And so over the last week, I have had Spring in my step!
