Just to wish a happy Thanksgiving to anyone celebrating today - whether over here or over in the USA! I gather it started as a harvest festival celebration, perhaps a little later than we would hold it here. But it strikes me as a good time of year for a bit of a party - get everyone together over good food and reflect on all we have to be grateful for (before the countdown to Christmas gets too frantic!). What are you grateful for this year? #Thanksgiving #Celebration #Gratitude

It was an absolute pleasure working with Sonia - she was so open to suggestions and willing to try on different garments, even just to compare the colour or the style on her. I was so glad she was pleased with the result! Of course, that result isn't just luck and Sonia's hit the nail on the head when she said I listened to her; I was also thinking about her personality and her existing style so I could make recommendations that I thought she would feel like. It's not just about looking a million dollars, you have to feel that you can carry off a look too! Thank you for taking the time to leave this super review, Sonia! #TestimonialTuesday #HappyCustomer #DressWithoutStress

It's Stir Up Sunday so a shout out to anyone who will be starting their Christmas cake or pudding mixes today! Don't forget to make a wish as you stir! (Do you add a sixpence or something for luck?) #ChristmasCountdown #StirUpSunday

Are you starting to think about your Christmas wardrobe - or is that the last thing on your 'to do' list? Don't worry - I am here to help! If you need some tips on how to be both elegant and practical, try my blog here: https://lnkd.in/ejguezbp And remember, although many of us tend to default to black or dark colours for evening or party wear, there aren't many of us who look good in really dark tones. But this time of year is a great excuse to add festive colours or sparkles to your look, so be a little bold this Christmas! #ChristmasCountdown #ChristmasPreparations #DressWithoutStress

What do you do to look after yourself? Your mental health, your physical health, your social health even? Well, this week is Self Care Week so now is a great time to give it some thought. I'm no expert, but here are a few things that work for me if you want to give them a try: - exercise your mind with something new that excites you - exercise your body whenever you can - rest your mind however works for you - rest your body with good quality sleep - give someone you love a hug whenever you can (yes, that includes pets!) - most of all, be yourself and be honest with yourself. Happy Self Care week ❤️ #SelfCare #MentalHealthMatters #BeYourself

Not that we're counting or anything...! 🎄 (Just forty days - where does the time go?) How are your preparations coming along? Are you at home or away this Christmas? Sometimes I'm not sure which is more exhausting - being a host or being a guest! Both have their challenges, but hopefully you get the chance to relax and enjoy yourself either way. Just while I've got you, don't forget that I do gift vouchers - who wouldn't want a present that is all about spoiling them?! You can specify the amount you want to spend but do get in touch if you'd like some advice: https://lnkd.in/eKFshq_i #ChristmasCountdown #GiftIdeas #BePrepared

Did you know that today is World Kindness Day? Feels like we could all do with a bit more of that, couldn't we? Whether it's a spontaneous bunch of flowers for someone you care for, stopping to let a stranger cross the road, or even remembering to be kinder to yourself, our hectic lives often lead us to believe that we don't have time to be kind. But kindness often costs nothing at all. I recently had the pleasure of hearing Nicky Hambleton Jones speak at the Federation of Image Professionals (FIPI) conference and took away so many great notes and quotes. One of them seems pertinent in the context of being kind to yourself: "Clothes are a wellness tool". I agree, not because it's an excuse to go shopping and splurge to fill a need but because the right outfit really can make you feel a million dollars - great for your mental health and wellbeing. So be kind to yourself today, too; you deserve it 🥰 #WorldKindnessDay #HumanKind #BeKindToYourself

Remembering all those who lost their lives or were injured in war or conflict today... A reminder of why we wear poppies, this poem was written in 1915, early in the First World War. Canadian doctor, Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae had recently lost a friend at Ypres. Poppy seeds like disturbed ground to grow in so battle fields make ideal conditions for them. Lt Col McCrae saw the poppies as a symbol of new growth coming from the ground where his friend had fallen and was inspired to write. It's a symbolism that has lasted.... #RemembranceDay #Gratitude #LestWeForget
