Hepburn Style

Beauty, Fashion, Image, Inspiration, Style No Comments »
Katherine and Audrey – same name, different look but always stylish. Why? because they knew who they were and how to reflect it in their dress.
How would it be if you could always feel wonderful when you put on your clothes, whatever your size, whatever the occasion? While your body shape and colouring matter, the most important aspect of your clothing is to dress the REAL you. If you don’t, you’re playing a part and that’s really difficult to maintain on a long term basis.

Erotic Capital

Beauty, Image, Inspiration, Life No Comments »

I blogged about this about  1 year ago but the subject has now been published in a new book ‘Honey, Money: The Power of Erotic Capital’ by female academic Catherine Hakim. Her theory is based on the premise that there have thus far been 3 types of capital ( apart from the capital city) economic, social and human on which we base our judgments of others. However, Hakim believes in a 4th – erotic capital. What is it? A mixture of beauty, intelligence, sex appeal and social skills. Who has it? Some of the best known and most successful business women in the world – Sam Cameron, Tamara Mellon, Nigella Lawson. I know many women believe that getting a job or a promotion should be about ability alone but we know that is never going to happen. Research by Robert Half indicates that only 10% of your promotional prospects are based on your ability to do your job well – in actual fact, that should be a given. Good looking people have always been more successful but this book goes further than that. This is about the ability of all of us to make the best of what we have – dressing well, stylish and well kept hair and looking groomed. If we can’t be bothered to do that for ourselves, why should anyone else bother about us?

Sex at 67??

Beauty, Image, Inspiration, Life No Comments »

…. carrying on the theme of amazing older women, I’ve just booked to see Sharon Glass starring in A Round Heeled Woman at Riverside Studios http://www.aroundheeledwoman.com/?gclid=CJ_TivrR4qoCFUkf4QodqlPv7Q  The play is based on the true life story of Jane Jusqa, who placed an ad in The New York Review of Books which said “Before I turn 67 – next March – I would like to have a lot of sex with a man I like. If you want to talk first, Trollope works for me”. She received 63 replies, from men aged between 32 and 84. A Round-Heeled Woman tells the real-life adventures of some of the encounters which resulted. Jane’s courageous journey takes her through falling in love, some heartbreak, rejection and humiliation, a lot of laughs, and her first orgasm with a man after 30 years. The play deals with the universally engaging themes of love, loss, personal empowerment, and the wisdom which comes with the passing years. And yes… sex.   If you prefer to read about it, the book is also available on Amazon.

Amazing Linda

Beauty, Fashion, Fitness, Health, Image, Inspiration, Life No Comments »

I see Dallas is making a comeback, starring some of the original actors. Expecting grey haired senior citizens, I was completely taken aback when I saw photo’s of Linda Gray.  The actress, who plays Sue Ellen, looks even more amazing and gorgeous than she did in the original series, yet she is now 70 years old. Wow! Whatever she’s doing, I want some. Reportage says she works out 6 times a week so she can keep up basketball practice with her grandsons.  With that in mind, perhaps I need to get my trainers out!

Campaign For Body Confidence

Beauty, Image, Inspiration, Life No Comments »

As you know I had a meeting with Jo Swinson and her team at The House of Parliament on Monday. She is committed to trying to eradicate the false images of perfection that our young people are striving towards by bringing in relevant education.

If you are interested in joining a campaign to represent women as they actually are and stop advertisers and magazines airbrushing or using only skinny models, then sign up for The Campaign For Body Confidence NOW.  This is an initiative from an across the board political party action group, which is great news for all of us, whatever our age or circumstances.  Let’s face it, there is as much pressure on new mums and menopausal women to look as good as our counterpart celeb’s too.

 For more info, go to:

You’ll be in good company: Caryn Franklin, Susie Orbach & Gok Wan are putting their all behind this  – to name just a few.

Beautiful magazine – challenging the face of women’s glossies

Beauty, Fashion, Image, Inspiration, Shopping, Style No Comments »

 The only glossy lifestyle magazine dedicated to building self-esteem, Beautiful magazine, has just launched its summer 2011 issue. Published independently by Sue Thomason and Sarah Kenny, the women’s title hopes to reverse the damaging trends set by current women’s mainstream magazines by only publishing images of models size 12 and over; banning ads that are harmful to self esteem and not using retouching or image manipulation. This fills a giant gap in the print magazine market. You can purchase this summer’s issue from Evans stores, or online: www.beautifulmagazine.co.uk

Important date …..

… at House of Commons to talk about unrealistic body image and how it adversely affects young people. As someone who struggled for most of my life with eating disorders and body dysmorphia, I am passionate about this not becoming a life afflicting concern for others. So wish us luck!

The Finishing Touch

Beauty, Fashion, Image, Inspiration, Shopping, Style 2 Comments »

I was thrilled to receive the new e-book from Imogen Lamport, a colleague from Melbourne who is a total inspiration. Entitled The Finishing Touch, it’s the book I wish I’d written – and I can’t say more than that. Focussing on accessories, Imogen demonstrates how we can use them to give any outfit ( from the truly casual to the extremely elegant) that ‘je ne sais quoi’.  As it’s chock full of explanatory photo’s it’s really easy to follow and so well explained that I might just be out of a job!!  It’s very comprehensive, covering everything you’re ever likely to need and other things you never even thought about. Combining traditional expertise with up to date clothing and text with graphics means that every learning style is covered and every style personality too. A ‘must-have’ e-book that you’ll use time and time again and I’ll bet it will never let you down. It’s a style guide that no-one should be without.
