What can I wear this Christmas time?
I help people look their best and be confident to enjoy events, like parties, such as at this time of year. Unfortunately, not everyone looks great in black or navy, which are colours that are usually prominent particularly in December.

Funeral: black or colour?
Watching Prince Philip’s funeral was quite a sobering experience. It was a dignified end to an extraordinary life, and Covid restrictions were a mixed blessing (less “fuss” as the Duke would have wanted, but sad to see the Queen so isolated).
