I’ve feel privileged to have been invited to not one but two book launches. Jo Parfitt and Jae De Wylde (formerly know as Jane Minshall) were both highly instrumental in helping me kick start my career. Jo taught me how to write articles and found me my first book publisher. Without her, I would never have gone into print. Jane Minshall did something for me that I only imagined in my dreams. As a magazine editor, not only did she ask me to model for a couple of very glamorous fashion shoots but she put my face on a magazine cover! It was hilarious to sit in a packed café surrounded by a pile of magazines with my face on the cover with the surrounding customers knudging each other to see if it was the same face drinking my coffee. Oh to be famous! That was something really special that I’ll never forget. I was so delighted to be meet up with them again and can’t wait to read their novels – a first for both. Jo is a prolific author of 27 non fiction books (www.joparfitt.com) but this is her first foray into fiction. Both books can be found on Amazon in print with The Thinking Tank also on kindle £7.99. Both are so relevant to women everywhere so take a look. I know you’ll enjoy them. Sunshine Soup – Jo Parfitt and The Thinking Tank – Jae De Wylde

I’m thrilled to see the 4 lovely ‘mature’ ladies in the new Strictly Come Dancing competition starting this Saturday, with 3 of them, including the two in the photo’s, being over 60 – amazing. They are fantastic role models for women our age. I think they look so much more confident and sexy than their younger counterparts. Just goes to show that you don’t have to be old to dance. In fact, it’s probably more ageing not to dance!! Here’s to getting our dancing shoes out.

This is what one delegate said after her course earlier this week.

‘Sue’s knowledge and experience shine through in everything she does. She is incredibly inspirational and a great role-model for her own business.  The workshop I attended ‘The Art of Style’ was informative, thought-provoking and fun.  It has made me really evaluate why I wear, what I wear and given me some powerful lessons in how to adapt to become ‘the best me I can be’. I’d recommend Sue’s workshops and services to anyone who really wants to make a positive change and think about style in a completely different way.

 THANK YOU

I held a fantastic Masterclass here yesterday looking at our bodyshapes – and other crucial elements that define YOUR style.  Here’s what one of the delegates had to say about it:

“Sue, I just wanted to say thank you again for a fantastic day.  Your ability to define and bring out the best in people is truly outstanding.  You have a lovely, warm way of going about things, which enables people to celebrate their good points, accept their not so good points and find ways of working with what they have to create something truly personal, unique, authentic and beautiful.  You lead by example with your energy and your enthusiasm for clothes, but also with your appreciation of the sensitivities that lie beneath people’s relationships with their bodies, their clothes and themselves. 

Thank you so much and I look forward to working with you in the future. ”

The next Masterclass in on Friday 11th November. Details in the Calendar section and to book/pay, go to Shop.  It makes life so much easier when you know what suits YOU.
