Did you play with games like the fashion wheel as a child and love getting creative?? (Here's an example of one on eBay if you have no idea what I'm talking about!)
I was playing the Melissa and Doug magnetic outfit game (pictured) with my 5 yr old this week and it got me thinking about how our lives are so busy that we lose that childlike joy in experimenting and getting creative with our clothing. My daughter was playing happily with her outfits with no preconceived ideas or rules around what works and what doesn't.
Imagine getting back that creativity, and having fun with your wardrobe again!
Losing the fear of 'getting it wrong' or whether your outfit fits the environment you're in. Walking into every meeting, event, or social gathering wearing outfits that not only flatter your shape and colouring, taking years off your complexion and giving you that ultimate glow…
But also reflect your unique style and personality—feeling powerful, confident, AND comfortable. Are you ready to turn this into your everyday reality?
Join my 14-Day Elevate Your Image Challenge on Telegram to craft your personal style and set yourself up for success in 2025!

Sunday Sustainable Fashion Picks
I had so much fun styling my favourite outfits from Percy Langley recently, in preparation for our Style event happening at their Islington store today at 11am. Come and see us if you're in London today!
Percy Langley have 2 London stores (and an online shop) Selling Clothes Designed to Empower Wearer + Maker Alike. Always Ethically Made from Responsible Materials. I love Poppy & George's ethos around supporting small ethical brands (mainly female owned) who are doing amazing things to support a more sustainable future for fashion.
My favourite brands featured in my outfits above include Minkie (tartan dress), Albaray (leopard print blazer, leopard print skirt, leather jacket, burgundy fine knit jumper, leather skirt and leopard velvet top) Raf & Grace (leopard print gilet) and Saywood Studio (cord trousers). I've met all but one of the women behind these brands and they are so passionate about crafting beautiful designs whilst creating a positive impact.
We are collaborating on an exclusive Gift Voucher together, perfect for Christmas, where you get a Colour Analysis with me and ￡50 to spend with Percy Langley. The gift voucher can be used for online or in person sessions and shopping.

Things I Enjoyed This Week...
Who would ever have thought of clothing available to rent on Deliveroo?! I've got mixed feelings about it as it has a bit of an impulsive and not intentional feel to it! But equally I think it's amazing to provide more sustainable options for your party outfits this year. Read more about the HURR x Deliveroo London collaboration here.
My husband sent me this fabulous article from BBC News this week about an amazing Stylist and her grandmother in rural Zambia who have been collaborating on creating super stylish outfits and inspiring so many people with their content! It's a beautiful story of style having no age limits and really speaks to my ethos around embracing your individuality and expressing yourself through your clothing Experimenting and having fun!

4 个月Yes I remember this .. but when I wasa kid there were books that you cut out and put outfits together from with little foldable tabs on them ??

4 个月I didn’t play with a fashion wheel as a child it was tractors & diggers for me but I remember being told by my mother to go get dressed up as we were going out when I was about 6 & I put on a bright orange tutu over my jeans & a bright pink T-shirt from my dressing up box I can remember she looked hoffifird & made me change as she said ‘what would people think if I wore that out! I never got why children had a dressing up box that you couldn’t wear if you went out until o was much older & realised it was about how she felt I thought I looked fab! ??
