Walking in Heels, Fashion or Comfort

Walk in heels - it makes you feel better, it just does, you feel taller, sexier, more in charge and in control. So why are so many of us opting for flats. Is it just comfort or is it walking in heels with no real training, it is as we all know a skill we mastered at a very young age. so I have some tips, keep your heel smaller and slimmer it will give the appearance of length with out the toppling feeling. choose your heel for your outfit if your going heaver on top with a chunky knit, you can go chunkier with your shoe. Heels should be enjoyed not feared and a little bit of pain i guess is what we as women have jut come to expect.

I cam across a fantastic shop in Westfield yesterday, introduced to me by another stylist, that could change all that. Terra Plana have stylish, comfy heels with a twist, one of the ranges has memory foam in the sole so no more achy feet ladies and another of the ranges encourages balance across the foot, it really is worth checking out if your passing!

Winter Fashion for Rainy Day Shopping

Wile walking around the park early this morning with my little dog Poppy it occurred to me that we all want to look stylish even when it's raining and cold it makes you feel better, it makes you feel like you have a purpose and other take notice.

So with this I thought it was worth wile putting up my top rain day jackets that I love

If you really want a treat and but one that will last for year Orla Kiely's new line is beautiful and easy to wear in prints that make a statement without making you stand out for all the wrong reasons, I love it and you can check it out here it is expensive so beware.

A good mid range option is Boden's patent jackets, easy to wear look incredibly stylish and you want to wear it even when its not raining, I love it in Red but there are a few colours to choose from including black but stay away from that one if you can I am sure you have plenty of black in your wardrobe already.

and if you just want a good, practical rain proof that look great with boots and winter wellies try uniqlo's body warming Parker in some great colours.

Shopping on the internet

Is it a good thing that no matter what we need or want at any one time we can get it online, I think it is! I get an alert every morning from brandalley.com I don't always look at it fully but every so often something in the subject line will catch my eye, usually when its a brand I love like American Vintage and I just have to log on and have a good nose. They quite often have great stuff and its marked down considerably.

Maybe its just that I love fashion so much that no matter where I am the Internet means I can keep in touch with the latest trend and shocking savings any time I want. If you can then this site particularly is worth checking out but there are loads of others and will be posted here for you when ever I think of them!

Trying to find that dress!! with some style

I was contacted by a client earlier in the week, she has a function to go to in a couple of weeks and has no clue what to wear as this is quite formal. so my search for her has started.

First in Brentcross and then to my beloved Westfield (not sure what I ever did before Westfield) and found some lovely dresses for her to try on next week when we meet. I just wanted to add that some shops just never seem to have a full range of sizes and it is painful when you only have a few hours with someone.

I also have four clients all wanting the perfect pair of jeans and thanks to Westfield (love that place) I have found the best place to take them all (Not all at once) it has shelves and shelves of lovely amazing jeans in all colours and styles, I was even blown away I am so excited to see their lovely faces when I take them down.

Swapping is the new shopping

We all get such a rush from shopping, but can you imagine getting that same rush from swapping your clothes. It can become a little intense, especially when more that one of you wants the same thing, but it is so much fun and that all just adds to it.

As I was putting the clothes out at my last swap party on the 17th September I was once again blow away by how much amazing and cool item people had brought, that had either never been worn or practically new.

So don't miss the next one on the 12th October, drop me an email emma@styletowear.com if you would like more details.
