Deco is my all time favourite range of Freya lingerie I don’t mind telling you.

I wear Deco most days to shape under t-shirts, vintage dresses, blouses – you name it, I Deco it – and the arrival of Deco Shapewear currently has me all in a tizzy.

I will level with you, ladies. I am 36, soon to be 37. I am Mum to young twins. Let’s just say things don’t seem quite as…nubile as they were 10 years ago. Now don’t get me wrong, I am proud of my body and all  it has achieved in these 36 years. I don’t subscribe to the view that women should look a certain way, and I love my curves, as most Freya ladies too. More

Fancy a Career as a Personal Stylist?

Fancy a Career as a Personal Stylist? 0

Recently I’ve been working hard training women through our Style Academy who want to start their own businesses, both full and part-time, as a personal stylist and shopper. I absolutely love training and teaching people who already have a love of fashion, a great eye for style and the ambition to succeed and be the best! There’s something very fulfilling about being part of the growth and development of someone so talented who just needs a helping hand to get them going in the early days of their new career.

People often tell me I have their ‘dream job’ and ask me what it’s like to be a self-employed personal shopper and stylist? How do I generate business? How did I learn to help women with style advice? So I thought I’d write a blog for those Fitting Talk Fashionistas who’ve often wondered if personal styling and shopping is the career for them. More

Spring is here! Oh wait no, it’s actually snowing.

Well, either way at this time of year I’m busy updating client’s wardrobes with spring capsule pieces and new styles they’ve never tried before in order to keep their wardrobes looking fresh and modern. Having done a My Style Masterclass for Spring a couple of weeks ago, which helps women to update their wardrobes easily for the season ahead, I thought I’d offer some style ideas and fashion inspiration for you Fitting Talk fans from us My Style Companion Personal Shoppers so that when the sun does put his hat on, you’re ready to rock.

I’ve broken the style advice down in regards to areas of the body that women often tell me they are conscious of and would like to disguise when putting together outfits in order to give you style solutions to overcome that. I hope they help you!

New Year Resolutions 2013

What’s in Store for 2013?

In January Mr F and I escaped to Riviera Maya in Mexico for some much needed winter sun. Looking grey and slightly knackered after cooking Christmas dinner for 10 people (my first Christmas dinner – just call me Michel Roux Jr). Feeling rather unwell we hopped on a plane and and I could not wait to hit the beach in my new Freya Showboat Bikini and ponder about what 2013 was going to have in store.

Having always set goals for myself each year, I had already started to make a few notes about what I wanted to achieve in 2013 – after all if you don’t know what it is you want to achieve, how can you go about getting it right? So on the 2nd day of our holiday, I sat with my notebook and started to write “2013…” More
