Define Your Style


Once you discover your own individual style you will never be dictated to by the latest trends or outlandish fashions that bombard us every season. I have said in the past and I will say it again that just because something is in fashion does not mean it’s going to look fashionable on you. Developing your own sense of style is so liberating because you choose what defines you and not what you see currently in the shops or in the latest magazines.
We have looked up to fashion icons such as Coco Chanel, Audrey Hepburn, Princess Dianna and many others because they give us a sense of direction on how to put certain looks together.
Apart from knowing what colours suit our complexion and what styles suit our body shape it is as vitally important to tie it all together by knowing our personality style.
Style is something that evolves over time. It is something that can be taught and developed as we begin to spy out the various looks we love and adapt them into our wardrobe and make them work!
In our 20’s we are experimenting with our youth and we can have fun with our image.
In our 30’s as our lifestyle changes we are on the journey to finding “our” style.
In our 40’s it’s about establishing a style that will take us into our 50’ s, 60’ s and beyond. It is a place where we create a sense of peace, acquired wisdom and beauty.
STYLeDGE will unlock your personal style so that you will make a great first impression every time. Call today for your Personal Style File, you will love it!

Most Women want to look Youthful, not necessarily Younger.



Let me list 5 keys to maintaining a youthful appearance regardless of your age:

1.Inner Outlook; a positive and optimistic outlook creates a joyful spirit, smiling eyes and a peaceful countenance.

2. Good food and exercise; helps you feel and look younger. Exercise will stimulate muscles, increases metabolism and relaxes your mind.

3. Hairstyle; changing your hairstyle is one of best ways to look youthful. A modern haircut can takes years off. It lifts and rejuvenates the face and elongates the neck. Don’t forget colour! Colouring your hair is probably the most dramatic thing you can do to turn back the clock. Choose wisely, try a colour that is as close to your natural colouring as possible. !

4. Eyebrows; beautifully shaped eyebrows act as a frame to set off the eyes, just as a hairstyle frames the face. It has been said that a brow shape can make — or break, your look.

5. Eyewear; size does matter! Ultra large prescription glasses look ridiculous. Anything out of sync with the rest of society will leave you looking aged and out of date.

Hi Girls,
Today we are living in such an image-conscious society. So many choices, so many promises. Yet, some women go to great lengths to hold onto their youth. But are the results worth it? Is the statement “no pain, no gain” true or false?
Age is not a number, it is an attitude. We can look fantastic at any age so don’t let a number dictate the way we dress. Despite this, I do realise we can trip up trying to look absolutely fabulous instead looking like mutton dressed up as lamb. Let me ask you this, when should Tina Turner stop wearing her outrageous short skirts to reveal her luscious legs?
I say as long as she possibly can!!
