I am delighted to now be involved with the amazing charity ‘Fitted for Work’ – http://www.fittedforwork.org/ – who assist women experiencing disadvantage by providing interview preparation, personal outfitting, and a range of transition to work and mentoring programs.  I will be helping dress women returning to work and giving interview and CV coaching.

The people involved with the charity are dedicated, hard-working, extremely caring people and it is humbling to hear about and see what an organisation like this can do to help others in need.  Good luck and I look forward to involving Fitted for Work in this years’ Spring Fashion Lunch in September and giving back in any way I can.

London Fashion Week has just shown Autumn/Winter 2013 collections, giving us a whole new fabby #wishlist.  I have trawled and sifted to show what I love from the catwalk – I want to wear every outfit shown!  I have picked looks that are fresh, cool, flattering, interesting, wearable … and copyable from the high street. Enjoy x

I need to practice what I preach (at times), so Papow!, I have planned where the pennies are going for this Winter’s wardrobe. I’ll be sharing my love across leather, faux fur, winter florals, metallics (silver-based to flatter my colouring) and a gorgeous capelet.
