Find your party style this festive season.



So you love to party but are not quite sure what to wear? You are not alone; so many women face that challenge daily but what about when it comes to choos-ing that special dress for the annual office party or social function?
I have five styles to help you choose the right party outfit for every occasion.
 The LBD. You cannot go past The Little Black Dress; you may tire of it but Audrey never got it wrong. Black is slimming and sheik and is often our first choice because its been tried and tested. Black is especially great for night . Try to avoid it for day and opt for something lighter instead.
 The Maxi dress. Love or hate it, it’s here to stay. It hides a multitude of sins. It can be worn with heels or flats depending on where your function is. From Jacqui E to Charlie Brown you can rest assure you can look very glam in your maxi without feeling too casual.
 The Cocktail Dress. This is the perfect party dress for all fes-tive occasions. It sits on the knee which is the most flattering length for every woman. Also, I have found the raised waist cut is great for apples, rectangles and even pear shapes.
 The Jumpsuit. “Hmmm... how unusual” I hear you say, but an off-the-shoulder or strapless jumpsuit will get you noticed without a doubt. Sassy and sexy, I dare you to give it a try this season.
 The Mini dress. I think a mini dress is a great choice for the young or the young at heart, especially if your legs are lean and in good shape. Be age-appropriate when it comes to your hemlines, the older we get, the longer our lengths should be. (we don’t need to dress like nuns though).
Styledge Image Consulting would like to wish you a very Merry Christmas and a wonderful, stylish New Year!

Find it Faster: Know your style.
Are you overwhelmed by shopping? Do you get confused or frustrated by the amount of choice, or lack of, when you visit your local shopping mall?
I have five quick and easy tips to help you buy clothes that won’t become clos-et orphans. Are you ready?
 First of all, know what you are looking for. What is it that you need or want? Is it for a party, wedding or for work? Once you establish what it is you’re after you only need to go to the shops that sell those particular items.
 What outfit gets you the most compliments? If it is in a particular cut or colour that is flattering to your shape and complexion, then you must have it right, right?
 Learn to know what you like and dislike. Do you like frills, busy patterns, or neutrals. Do you like separate’s or suits, dresses or pants? Once you work out what you like or dislike then you can search for those garments that you know work for you.
 Is there a particular shop, boutique or designer that fits you well. It is worth going in every season to check out what is available. At least you know these styles have been tried and tested.
 Give yourself TIME, don’t shop in a hurry with 5 minutes to spare. You will purchase something you wish you hadn’t or you will leave the shops discouraged and depressed. Do your homework, look online to see what is in the shops that you fancy and go get it!

Your Personal Style Formula


I am very excited to be launching my new eBook “Your Person-al Style Formula; discover your signature style”. Jane Liddelow (from Style Makeover HQ) and I collaborated to produce a la-bour of love that is a fantastic tool to help women unlock the secrets to their style success!
I believe the foundation to having great style is being confident about who we are and what we wear. Not only do women struggle with their identity but live with the daily challenge of having a ward-robe full of clothes and still complain they have nothing to wear. Do you get dressed or stressed? Are you uncertain about some outfits you put together?
Your Personal Style Formula will help you discover the real you that expresses who you are inside and out!

"Discover your unique personal style and express who you truly are, inside and out”
Style is often the missing piece of the appearance "puzzle", the special ingredi-ent to looking great. Also, style rules are being broken constantly by those around us and in the media, which means there is even more confusion about what to buy and what to wear!
Some would say that style is something you are born with. Fortunately, that's not true, and thank goodness for that! Style can, in fact, be learnt.
Your Personality Style is the combination of many things
 What you love to wear
 The roles you play
 The activities you are involved in
 Knowing what works and what does not
 What you are attracted to
Wear what you love and love what you wear.
By choosing styles in your Personal Style Formula, you will begin to purchase garments that reflect the real you! You’ll learn how to blend your main style categories and how, by changing one small part of an outfit (such as your accessories for example), you can completely change the resulting style. You don’t have to go out and immediately replace all of your clothes. Work within your budget to change small details of your outfits to refine your ap-pearance and express your personality with your style.
What you learn from our eBook will last you a lifetime and you will never again be lured by fashion trends and fads telling you that “it’s a must have for you to look vogue”. Just because something is in fashion does not mean it’s going to look fashionable on you. No longer will you fall into the trap of the fashion vic-tim because you can apply Your Personal Style Formula to all aspects of your life.

Remembering Princess Dianna

I still get sad when I reflect upon the horrible news of Dianna's death. She like countless others was taken before her time.I personally felt like I had lost a friend and found it hard to comprehend that our princess had died.
Today would have been Princess Diana's 50th birthday. Regarded as the people's princess, she was a role model, activist, and a style icon. From her wedding gown to her little black dresses, her style continues to inspire fashionistas today.
