Went to a fabulous restaurant in London last week and met some really lovely female entrepreneurs, one of whom makes the most exquisite jewellery. Simone Micallef is a true craftswoman, her designs are unique and really make a statement (and so does she – she’s gorgeous).

I have always loved the unique and original and the older I get the more I resist looking like every other woman on the street. So my delight was palpable when I met the beautiful Denise Ensworth, who runs a bespoke tailoring service for WOMEN. Yes, one does actually exist. You can take in a photo or design a garment from scratch, whichever way you can be sure it will fit in all the right places and that is KEY to looking fabulous whatever age, shape or size you are. www.orhanlondontailoring.com for more details.
