What colours can I wear this Christmas time?

29th November 2022

Fed up with black? Particularly at this time of year there is usually a lot of black around. If black isn’t your best colour (which it isn’t for lots of us) you may be thinking that it will be difficult to look your best this Christmas – whether that’s a family get-together or a work […]

Shopping Made Easy: My experience in July 2022, by MB

20th July 2022

I was recommended to Fiona by someone I trusted, and she wasn’t wrong. My expectations were high but Fiona didn’t disappoint. I experienced Fiona’s ‘At Home Shopping’ service and this is how it went.

What is life about?

30th May 2022

Possessions Having recently lost my last parent, the experience of clearing a lifetime of accumulated things (clothes, odds and ends like Christmas cracker contents, as well as pills, glasses and photographs etc) it makes one think about what is important in life.

28th February 2022

I don’t know about you but buying a new bra can be very daunting! Previous disasters Have you, like me, spent lots of money in the past not being properly fitted and realised, when you have taken the tags off, that it’s not really what you wanted?  Well, it’s no wonder. There’s so much choice […]

1st December 2021

I help people look their best and be confident to enjoy events, like parties, such as at this time of year.

It’s that time of year when it might be sunny in the UK and we need to get out our sunglasses or shades! Using sunglasses can stop us squinting, which will prevent/reduce facial lines, plus protect our eyes, so I do recommend having some and using them. Your shades may not have been out for […]

Blouses – do you wear them?

31st January 2021

Men wear shirts, women wear blouses. Some women purposely wear shirts (which are usually too big on them), and this developed in the last few years into the fashion of a ‘shirt dress’ (although those are not “oversized”). Blouses – who wears them? I have lots of blouses in my wardrobe, but don’t tend to […]

7 “SALE” Shopping Tips

14th December 2020

It’s SALE time! At this time of year we think about the “sales”. But, particularly this year, where traditional “bricks and mortar” shops have been having a really hard time and brands are struggling or going out of business, it seems as if it’s been a constant SALE of one sort or another. And, in […]

Which NECKLINES suit you?

25th November 2020

What makes a neckline work for you? I used to think your best neckline was to do with your face shape. Yes, that does have a bearing on it, but there are some other factors that also impact a great neckline. For example, the width between your shoulders, proportion of shoulders to hips, your bust, […]
