What Sleeves Are Best For Bigger Arms?

If you are conscious of your upper arms, you are not alone. This has been a much requested video. Firstly, I am not a fan of the terms 'bingo wings, flabby arms, fat arms etc etc.' It does nothing for ones confidence. So if you are using these terms, I highly recommend cutting them out using language that is kinder to yourself. With that said, I understand that some people do want to cover up their arms and so my latest video will help you do that. Enjoy and happy styling, Sa

How To Cover Up And Keep Cool In Summer

Summer is on the way along with warmer days and a lighter, brighter wardrobe. Shorts, skirts and sleeveless tops are lining the rails in the shops but not everyone is keen on showing off more skin when the temperatures rise. Style can be a tricky thing to navigate when you want to keep cool but cover up. There's a few points that you want to keep in mind when adding to your Summer wardrobe, namely colours and fabrics. I discuss these in more detail in my latest video along wi

Love It, Couldn't Wear It

Sound familiar? Love it, couldn't wear it seems to sum up my thoughts of the festive season. With lockdowns being once again imposed my outfits that I had bought or planned to wear over Christmas and New year would only ever be seen from the comfort of my own home and via social media. I am sure many of you can relate. Whether you missed out on weddings, the Christmas office party or just raising a glass to the new year, we all missed out on occasions this year. As a little h

How To Style A Shirt Dress

A shirt dress is one of the most versatile pieces you can have in your wardrobe. Great for all seasons and the best part? They are universally flattering, much like the wrap style dress. They are also readily available in both high street stores as well as designer stores. Shirt dresses tend to be worn in one particular way, buttoned down and perhaps tied with a belt. However there are numerous ways in which they can be worn. I demonstrate several of them in my latest video.

Winter Coat Collection

The Style Of...Moira Rose

Are you as obsessed with Catherine O'Hara's character, Moira Rose, as I am? Not only a funny, eccentric and ostentatious individual, but also an absolute style icon!

Why It's OK To Have Old Clothes In Your Wardrobe

I distinctly remember a friend asking me 'Sarah, how old is that top? I remember that from years ago?' as I wore one of my favourites. I recall feeling a sense of shame and embarrassment at the thought that someone might consider my clothes 'old'. My top was old but it was well kept and certainly didn't look old. The white was still white, it had maintained its shape well and it wasn't a high fashion item so it couldn't have looked out-of-date or dowdy. Yet, it was the last

The Latest Autumn Trend - Is It Worth It?

As Autumn makes its presence known we are seeing the chunky knits and Winter woolies adorn the the racks of the shops. With a new season, of course, comes a new trend. This time it's all about the shoulders. Shoulder pads that is! The trending silhouette is that of the inverted triangle, a strong, structured appearance on the upper half. But is it really worth spending your money on it? As always, I encourage my clients to 'buy less, choose well and make it last.' With that

Who Is The Style Coach™?

Who is The Style Coach™ anyway?

Body Shape, Proportions & Layering

Body shapes come in many beautiful forms. Most of us are familiar with the hourglass and pear shape but we don't often hear people talking about how our bodies are in terms of their proportions. For those lucky enough to have longer legs and a shorter torso dressing and looking balanced is easy. However, if you have shorter legs in proportion to your torso you might like the idea of playing around with layering and styles to bring more balance to your shape. In this video I s

Style Analysis - Jennifer Lopez

Every now and then I take a deep dive into the style of a celebrity. It can be a source of inspiration and who doesn't love learning more about some of the biggest star's style? I do a little colour analysis as well as a style personality analysis of the chosen celebrity. This week I took a closer look into the style of Jennifer Lopez. She has been somewhat of a style icon for many years and seems to be defying age too! Knowing what suits oneself goes a long way towards this.

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

Holly Willoughby is known for many things, being a TV Presenter, Mother and for her style. Her style is very relatable with a girl-next-door vibe to it. It is not high fashion or avant-garde. Most of the time she wears items straight off the high-street and this makes her style accessible and affordable to the masses making her a style icon. In this video I take a look at Holly's best colours, style personality and clothes to flatter a similar body shape. I hope you enjoy it
