Forget any ideas you might have about Personal Stylists being only for stars, celebrities and those with unlimited budgets! I work with regular women and men of any age who are stuck with their style…

Here are my five key picks for transitional dressing which will take you beyond autumn into the cooler months as we need to start layering up…

Do you answer ‘YES’ to any, or all of the following questions;

• Is your wardrobe so full it’s difficult to see what you have?

• Do you sometimes find things you’d forgotten you had?

• Are there clothes in your wardrobe that don’t fit you anymore?

• Are you hanging on to things you haven’t worn for a couple of years ‘just in case’?

• Do you feel guilty about having clothes which you’ve never worn?

After jeans, dresses are the thing that I get asked for most by my clients…

If you’ve read the fashion pages lately, you’ll know that the cardigan is back for autumn.

A dress can easily feel too dressy for a normal, doing-nothing-special day.

Predictions are that we won’t be buying clothes in the way we used to before the pandemic.

I might not have an occasion in the diary to wear it for some time yet, but the ‘Madison’ dress by Ghost is still my favourite, as it ticks so many of my boxes.
