STORING YOUR DELICATES

Happy Monday lovelies. A new week to start fresh and think about how you store your bras. I do not ideally have this stunning arrangement but I do store my brassieres like this, Do you?

HOW TO WEAR SHORTS

There are a few items that I am not a huge fan of shopping for and one of them used to be shorts. I remember when I was a teenager - I hated my legs - I hated the exposure - I was not a fan of baring my legs much at all. A little ironic I guess as my school dress was short and yet I was not comfortable wearing shorts. 
NOW I love shorts - I love a printed short. I have changed and I have quite a collection in my wardrobe. As long as they are not overly short shorts ...... I wear them and love wearing them. Call it maturity or call it feeling comfortable in my own skin. I am on the other side of 40 and I often think if others can wear shorts then i can get away with it too .... cellulite and all. I am often told what great legs I have which has encouraged me to wear shorts. But I am fussy, you see ..... I like quality and they need to be tailored and comfortable.

REAL LADIES GUIDE TO WEARING A MIDI SKIRT

If you follow me on facebook or instagram you will know that I love a good midi-skirt or any skirt for that matter. You see I love dresses and skirts and except for jeans I am not much of a pants wearer. I love the femininity of a dress or a skirt and wearing them makes me feel classy and a little sophisticated.

MONDAY STYLE FILE \\ STATEMENT NECKLACES

Today I am super excited as I have my first "Styling by V" client. A lovely 27 year old with a little 4 year old boy who has recently been diagnosed with MS. I am super excited to meet my client face to face, to help her feel better about herself and to feel proud of who she is and look great at the same time.

One item that I just love to wear often are my new statement necklaces from Blush & Co. Owned and curated by the lovely Jacqui from Adelaide. I actually have three Blush & Co pieces and I alternate them often to add a little sparkle to my look.

THAT 70'S VIBE

Do you feel that ABBA vibe? ABBA were famous for their classic 70's vibe and 70s style. I have a huge appreciation for ABBA as they were the first vinyl album I bought and cherished. The 70's have made a huge comeback, it is one of the biggest trends for the spring/summer 15/16 season.  I am loving all the suede accents and lace detail, fringing and chic denim styles coming through. Bohemian relaxed styling for the spring/summer days ahead.

HOW TO HALF TUCK YOUR SHIRT

Create a cool and deliberate undone look by half tucking in your button up shirt. I love styling my shirts a little differently for a different take on my every day style. This style is super easy to perfect and can add a different dimension and a little 'on trend' street style appeal.

5 SIMPLE WAYS TO STYLE LEGGINGS

Leggings are a favourite option for many when the cooler weather arrives, easy to wear and comfort chic when styled appropriately. Personally I think leggings are an essential for every closet, BUT you have to know how to style them without revealing every little crease of your being. I find the thicker ponte style work well with a better fit and look. Ponte is a double knit fabric which is thicker with stretch for comfort. Better quality than other forms of legging material.

TIPS ON LAYERING TO STAY WARM THIS WINTER

Layering is the wearing of light weight garments one on top of the other to create a fashionable ensemble to provide warmth with out too much bulkiness or heaviness.

Boy has it been cold, although the winter sun is perfect to stay warm during the day. Layering is key without feeling too much bulk. Choosing light layers with heavier fabrics on top. Layering is the perfect way to stay warm this winter. It has been stated that the past few weeks have been the coldest here in Sydney for the past 17 years (that is my youngest daughter's lifetime).
