Who Is The Style Coach™?

Who is The Style Coach™ anyway? Over the last few weeks I have noticed the numbers who are subscribed to my YouTube and Instagram increasing and I figured it would be a good idea to get to know who it is behind The Style Coach™. I don't know about you but I like to know a little bit about the person behind the product or service before I hand over my hard earned cash. I have spent over a year making videos on how to dress for your body shape, how to wear the best colours for

How To Make Money From Your Handbags!

If you are having a wardrobe clear out and you are thinking about making some money from your handbags then this blog is a must read for you.

Shopping & Fashion after Covid-19

Today we enter phase 2 of re-opening the Irish economy after the global pandemic that is Covid-19. That means non-essential shops can once again welcome customers into their stores after being closed for months on end. However, shopping as we knew it at the beginning of 2020 has changed. So too has the fashion industry as a whole which will have long term impacts on how we shop, where we shop and what we buy. In my latest video I talk about what we, the customers, can expect

Style Analysis - Dame Judi Dench

Dame Judi Dench, most known as an accomplished actor, recently graced the cover of British Vogue at the age of 85 years old making her the oldest woman to do so.

In my latest video I take a closer look into how she achieves this look and what we can learn about style and ageing gracefully. I ho

Steam Irons - Life Hack?

It seems like the world is full of life hacks to make our lives easier so we can do things quicker or with less effort. When does a life hack become a gimmick? In my opinion, it's a gimmick when it does not do what it promises to do. One of these life hacks I invested in recently is a steam iron. Do I hate ironing? Not at all. In fact I find it therapeutic and quite satisfying to see my clothes neatly pressed and ready to be worn. So where does the problem lie? Why would I ne

2020 Trends

As we enter a new year and a new decade we will see new trends hitting the catwalks and lining the shops in the hope to catch our eye and entice us into following the crowds for fear of being seen as unfashionable.

How To Wear More Colour - Part 2

Following on from my previous blog 'How To Wear More Colour - Part 1' the second part to this series looks at adding more than two colours to your outfit. Wearing black is a go-to look for many. It is considered safe and dependable. However, depending on your mood it can negatively effect how you feel or how others perceive you.

How To Wear Linen

Linen is one of those go-to fabrics that most of us reach for when the weather starts getting a little warmer. It is a natural fabric made from flax which is breathable. This means for any of us who are blessed with a body that starts to ‘glow’ in an Irish Summer (anything above 14 degrees!) this fabric is going to keep the air flowing and skin cool. Apart from this, linen looks effortlessly chic and you can be guaranteed it will make an appearance Summer after Summer. It is
