What not to wear: Golden Globes

Heidi Klum's natural beauty is lost in this ensemble - the dress
and choker are distracting.  There is too much going on here!
A model of her calibre should know better.

Audrey Plaza looks like a little girl in these
colours; "but purple is my favourite colour!!"
It's very matchy-match and the pink clutch... oh dear!

Berenice Bejo has possibly found the most ill-fitting and unflattering
red dress ever.  Such a shame because she is stunning.

Hayden Panettiere wears an amazing Tom Ford dress - totally unsuitable
for her figure.  This dress fragments her already petite figure and
highlights her round shoulders.  Let's not talk about the hair.

Edie Falco strikes a great pose in this dress, but this dress is
too sack-like though the middle and the bow is too much!
It looks like she is trying to hide something.

Mila Kunis always looks great and this dress is gorgeous,
but it's a mismatch - this dress is too old for her and better
suited to Helen Miren.

How does this happen to celebrities?  I guess even with stylists and a fabulous selection of dresses to choose from, they are not immune to making mistakes.  Here are 3 tips when making fashion choices:

1)  Put yourself first!!  If the dress isn't making you stand out/ look radiant, it's not worth wearing... even if it's your dream designer and 90% off!

2)  Don't get caught up in the details; always pay attention to the overall look, especially the silhouette.

3)  Be true to yourself!  Be appropriate to your age, your passion, your figure.  Don't let anyone convince you otherwise.  And don't listen to the unkind voice in your head!

Golden Globes favourites

Jennifer Lawrence, a vision in Dior

Cate Blanchett, regal in Armani Prive

Lousie Roe in Monique Lhuillier

Julianna Margulies in Andrew Gn

Lupita Nyong'o, statuesque inRalph Lauren

Robin Wright in shimmering Reem Acra

Julia Louis-Dreyfus in Narciso Rodriguez

I love a great movie, but that's not why I watch the Golden Globes.  For me it's about the red carpet - I love seeing the gorgeous dresses!!!

When a celebrity gets it right (usually their stylist) they look totally comfortable and at ease; totally owning the look.  Have you ever noticed that?!  It's inspirational.  

And when they get it wrong... Sooooo uncomfortable!!   Or perhaps too comfortable, too safe?!  Not good.

These ladies were shining stars.  Cate Blanchett always looks A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!  And Jennifer Lawrence is following in her footsteps.

A new year

'Appy New Year!!!

Today was my first day back at work - haha, yes, shopping!!  Tough job, I know!  I had a F-A-B-U-L-O-U-S holiday break over Christmas and New Year spent with the best of friends, but it's great to be back and shopping the sales.

There are definitely bargains to be had!!  Of course Zara and the like have a mountain of overstock sale items - hey, everybody needs basics and fun fashion fixes.  But if you have planned your wardrobe well and only need a top-up, there's an opportunity to leverage your style with quality designer pieces at sale prices.

DVF has a gorgeous selection in their 30-50% sale.  Missoni has beautiful items up to 70% off.  The bargain of the day?... Kenzo at 80-90% off!!  My client went home with three white bags of goodness.  She already has an amazing wardrobe, but I am dreaming of how much these gorgeous clothes will sparkle! 

Sigh... sale contentment!!  Ahhhhhh!

Forget-me-knot!

A gentle reminder:  tomorrow is the last day for Christmas gift voucher delivery.

If you are still interested in purchasing a Christmas gift voucher for my styling services for your loved one (or yourself), please let me know by noon tomorrow.  

For Perth clients and friends:  please note that I am planning a trip on the 8th March 2014 and am already starting to take bookings.  If you would like a gift voucher for that period, I can email one to you.

And don't forget, this month you get a complimentary Follow-up appointment with any bookings over RM500/ AU$165.

Ho ho ho, my sleigh is packed and ready to go!!

P.S.  These cute rings can be found on Etsy.

A pressie for you!

Of course, we often give clothes as gifts.  Clothes are functional, tactile, beautiful and sometimes something really special.  Unfortunately too often, the item is not quite right and definitely not on sale.  Hmmmph, a day later it's a complete bargain!  Ouch!!  

Well, I think it's a fabulous idea to give a voucher for my styling services.  Yippeeeee!!!! Then we can go shopping in the SALES!  Of course I would say that, but wouldn't you agree?!  It's also a subtle great way to help appreciate someone you love; to freshen their look and boost confidence.

Just let me know which one of my styling appointments suit you best (see Styling page) and I will hand deliver a beautiful Christmas-design voucher to you.  

And in the spirit of giving... I would like to gift anyone that spends RM500/ AU$165 and above (booked appointment or gift voucher) by January 1st , a complimentary follow-up appointment worth RM200/ AU$65 .....which you can gift, or not ;).  

Lots of love xx
